Purification of a larval settlement-inducing protein complex (SIPC) of the barnacle, Balanus amphitrite
- K. Matsumura, Manami Nagano, N. Fusetani
- Biology
- 1 May 1998
Many species of barnacles live gregariously, and chemical cues from conspecifics are believed to induce settlement of cypris larvae. Settlement-inducing factors from the adult barnacle Balanus… Expand
Lentil lectin inhibits adult extract‐induced settlement of the barnacle, Balanus amphitrite
- K. Matsumura, Sachiko Mori, Manami Nagano, N. Fusetani
- Biology
- 15 February 1998
For barnacles that live gregariously, chemical cues from conspecifics are believed to induce settlement of cypris larvae. A new assay system, using nitrocellulose membranes, has been developed to… Expand
