Distribution of Select Cement Proteins in the Acorn Barnacle Amphibalanus amphitrite

Distribution of Select Cement Proteins in the Acorn Barnacle Amphibalanus amphitrite

Acorn barnacles are major marine fouling organisms. Their success is largely due to an ability to adhere to diverse substrates via a sub-micron thick proteinaceous adhesive layer that develops as the organism molts and expands its base. Recent work has expanded the set of proteins identified within...
