Description

This comprehensive scientific text examines the biomineralization mechanisms underlying shell and nacre formation in Pinctada fucata, the primary pearl-producing oyster species of the South China Sea. Drawing from molecular biology, biochemistry, cell biology, structural biology and environmental biology, the book synthesises current research on how these organisms construct their shells at the molecular level. Pinctada fucata serves as an established model system for studying nacre biomineralization, making this work essential for researchers investigating shell formation processes. The detailed exploration of nacre development provides critical insights applicable to bionic material design and synthetic shell research. Readers will discover how gene isolation and cloning studies have advanced understanding of the proteins and cellular mechanisms directing shell construction, with implications for materials science and biomimetic engineering applications.

Key Features

Explores biomineralization mechanisms in Pinctada fucata, the major pearl-producing oyster species of the South China Sea.

Integrates findings from molecular biology, biochemistry, cell biology, structural biology and environmental biology into a cohesive overview.

Uses Pinctada fucata as an established model system for understanding nacre biomineralization at the molecular and cellular level.

Examines gene cloning and protein isolation techniques that reveal how shell formation occurs in pearl oysters.

Presents nacre research findings applicable to novel bionic material design and synthetic shell development.

Published by Springer, a leading scientific and academic publisher with rigorous peer-review standards.
