## Abstract The uptake of Lโ and Dโalanine by intact animals or isolated gills of a brackishโwater bivalve, __Corbicula japonica__, was investigated in relation to their transport pathways and the possible physiological roles. The animals took up Lโalanine at concentrations as low as 10 ฮผM. Both th
## Abstract During adaptation to an increase in ambient salinity (2โ20 ppt) the estuarine clam __Rangia cuneata__ enlarges the pool of free amino acids in adductor muscle fibers by more than fiveโfold (>300 ฮผM/gm dry wt). The process can occur under anaerobic conditions, but oxygen is critical to s
