- W125348261 abstract "This chapter provides a highly illustrated description of the various components of the soft anatomy of the Blacklip pearl oyster, Pinctada margaritifera . This chapter also includes a comprehensively illustrated description of the soft anatomy of P. margaritifera as a general guide to these structures in other species. The chapter goes on to describe the structure of the shells and nacre of pearl oysters and the mechanisms by which nacre is formed. The shell structure of pearl oysters, which is fundamentally similar to other bivalves, is also described. It consists of three layers. The outermost layer, the periostracum, is largely composed of quinone-tanned proteins (known as conchiolin). It provides mechanical and fouling protection for the shell. The middle layer, the ostracum or prismatic layer, consists of relatively large polygonal prisms of calcite, which are arranged in a lattice-like format with long axes perpendicular to the shell surface. The innermost nacre consists of flat polygonal tablets of aragonite with complex extracrystalline and intracrystalline organic matrices in a “bricks and mortar” format. The three shell layers are secreted by different sections of the distal mantle edge, but the nacreous layer differs fundamentally from the other layers. While the nacreous layer is initially secreted at the distal edge of the mantle, like the other layers, it continues to be secreted and thickened over the entire outer surface of the mantle lobes. This creates the thick MOP lining inside of the pearl oyster shell. The active role of proteins in biomineralization is fundamental; it represents a source of inspiration for future nanotechnology with a bottom-up approach." @default.
