Molecular characterization of three peroxiredoxin genes in Portunus pelagicus expressed in response to Vibrio alginolyticus challenge
Portunus pelagicus inhabits coastal muddy or sandy seabed, and are often exposed to rotten sewage containing a large number of bacteria.In this study, RT-PCR technology was used to clone peroxiredoxin (prx) genes prx1, prx3 and prx6 of P.pelagicus.Genes expressed in normal tissue, gills and hepatopancreas after Vibrio alginolyticus stress were test
