Effects of elevated carbon dioxide on contraction force and proteome composition of sea urchin tube feet
Description: This study examined how contraction force and protein profiles of the tube feet of the sea urchin (Pseudocentrotus depressus) were affected when acclimated to 400 (control), 2000 and 10,000 μatm CO2 for 48 days. Acclimation to higher CO2 conditions significantly reduced contraction force of the tube feet. [Source: Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology: Part D: Genomics and Proteomics]
