Alpha Methylglucoside Transport by the Gill of the Oyster 'Ostrea edulis'

摘要

The present study defines the mechanism of glucose transport in the isolated gill of oysters, using the European flat oyster, Ostrea edulis, as a representative species. The specific objectives were: (1) identify a non-metabolized transport analog, (2) determine the effects of known metabolic inhibitors and naphthalene on transport, and (3) determine the effect of inhibitors on leakage.
