Vibrio infection compromises byssal attachment in the mussel Mytilus coruscus by modulating energy homeostasis and byssal protein gene expression.

Mussels are important bivalve species that are cultured worldwide and attach to substrate by byssal threads. Mass detachment of mussels poses a significant threat to the sustainability of mussel aquaculture. It remains unclear whether biological factors such as infections caused by marine pathogenic bacteria affect bys...
