Byssus

Byssus, Byssos or mussel silk is a term for the secretion from the foot glands of different species of mussels. The individual secretions of several glands in the foot of the mussels form, above all, phenolic proteids, which are combined together to form adhesive bonds and harden. While many species of mussels only produce Byssus as young mussels, this secretion can persist with other life-time. Well-known examples of mussels with byssus threads are the mussels, which can fix themselves with the byssus threads on structures of the surf zone and which can also solve them under bad environmental conditions, as well as the fig mussels, which spin whole nets from Byssosf threads and thus foreign bodies. Byssus, Byssos oder Muschelseide ist eine Bezeichnung für das Sekret aus den Fußdrüsen verschiedener Arten der Muscheln. Dabei bilden die einzelnen Sekrete mehrerer Drüsen im Fuß der Muscheln vor allem phenolische Proteide, die gemeinsam zu Haftfäden vereinigt werden und erhärten. Während viele Muschelarten nur als Jungmuscheln Byssus produzieren, kann diese Sekretion bei anderen zeitlebens andauern. Bekannte Beispiele für Muscheln mit Byssusfäden sind die Miesmuscheln, die sich mit den Byssusfäden an Strukturen der Brandungszone festsetzen und diese bei schlechten Umweltbedingungen auch wieder lösen können, sowie die Feigenmuscheln, die ganze Netze aus Byssosfäden spinnen und damit Fremdkörper fixieren.
