The great shipworm Teredo navalis is a bivalve of the Teredinidae family known for its efficient ability at degrading wood and feeding on sugar molecules constituting its building blocks. The aim of this study was to identify new endogenous genes encoding cellulose-degrading enzymes from the shipworm. We suspect those genes to play an important role in the efficient biomass degradation of T. navalis...
By using a scanning infrared polariscope (SIRP), the residual strain distribution has been characterized in specially-prepared vertical slices of rectangular blocks cut from two conventional casting ingots in production scale. All the blocks clearly revealed local strain increase in the shapes of straight-pillar and long-pyramid but its distribution was significantly different from block to block...
