Abstract |
The green crab Carcinus maenas is known for its high acclimation potential to varying environmental abiotic conditions. A high ability for ion and acid-base regulation is mainly based on an efficient regulation apparatus located in gill epithelia. However, at present it is neither known which ion transport proteins play a key role in the acid-base compensation response nor how gill epithelia respond to elevated seawater pCO(2) as predicted for the future. In order to promote our understanding of the responses of green crab acid-base regulatory epithelia to high pCO(2), Baltic Sea green crabs were exposed to a pCO(2) of 400 Pa. Gills were screened for differentially expressed gene transcripts using a 4,462-feature microarray and quantitative real-time PCR. |
