- Abstract
The article presents a study on the role of Novel p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) in the development of the larvae of polychaete Hydroides elegans (H. elegans). H. elegans is found in most tropical and subtropical waters. The life cycle of Hydroides elegans is described. The study found that the catalase could inhibit H. elegans larvae to respond to inductive biofilm. This finding showed that the p38 MAPK-dependent pathway has a significant role in controlling larval metamorphosis of H. elegans.
