Deciphering mollusc shell production: the roles of genetic mechanisms through to ecology, aquaculture and biomimetics
Abstract: Most molluscs possess shells, constructed from a vast array of microstructures and architectures. The fully formed shell is composed of calcite or aragonite. These CaCO(3)crystals form complex biocomposites with proteins, which although typically less than 5% of total shell mass, play sign...
