Company, Rui; Antúnez, Oreto; Cosson, Richard P.; Serafim, M. A.; Shillito, Bruce; Cajaraville, Miren; Bebianno, Maria João; Torreblanca, AmparoProteomic changes in the "gill-bacteria complex" of the hydrothermal vent mussel B. azoricus exposed to cadmium in pressurized chambers ((Incubateurs Pressurises pour l'Observation en Culture d'Animaux Marins Profonds - IPOCAMP) were analyzed and compared with the non-exposed control group. 2-D Fluorescence Difference Gel Electrophoresis (2D-DIGE) showed that less than 1.5% of the proteome of mussels and symbio...
