Proteomics of marine mussels exposed to the toxic marine alga Prorocentrum lima

This project aimed to disclose the metabolic alterations and responses of the marine mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis after grazing the toxic microalga Prorocentrum lima. Mussels metabolic alterations were investigated by shotgun proteomics, during the phases of intoxication and depuration. The diarrhetic shelllfisf toxins were also quantified in this project, for assessing the levels of contamination of mussels.
