A Description of Biremis panamae sp. nov., a New Diatom Species from the Marine Littoral, with an Account of the Phylogenetic Position of Biremis D.G. Mann et E.J. Cox (Bacillariophyceae)
(Public Library of Science, 2014-12-10)
Here we present a formal description of Biremis panamae Barka, Witkowski et Weisenborn sp. nov., which was isolated from the marine littoral environment of the Pacific Ocean coast of Panama. The description ...
Nucleic acid lateral flow dipstick assay for the duplex detection of Gambierdiscus australes and Gambierdiscus excentricus
(Elsevier, 2021-11-17)
The proliferation of harmful microalgae endangers aquatic ecosystems and can have serious economic implications on a global level. Harmful microalgae and their associated toxins also pose a threat to ...
Pharmaceuticals and endocrine disruptors in raw and cooked seafood from European market: Concentrations and human exposure levels
(Elsevier, 2018-08-30)
Pharmaceuticals (PhACs) and endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) are chemicals of emerging concern that can accumulate in seafood sold in markets. These compounds may represent a risk to consumers ...
Toxicity Screening of a Gambierdiscus australes Strain from the Western Mediterranean Sea and Identification of a Novel Maitotoxin Analogue
(MDPI, 2021-08-15)
Dinoflagellate species of the genera Gambierdiscus and Fukuyoa are known to produce ciguatera poisoning-associated toxic compounds, such as ciguatoxins, or other toxins, such as maitotoxins. However, ...
Determining geographical range and alien status in diatoms: three instructive case histories of species newly recorded in the British Isles, including a non-native marine species from the Pacific, Diademoides luxuriosa
(Taylor & Francis Group, 2022-08-16)
Three benthic diatom species – Diademoides luxuriosa, Navicula entoleia and Nitzschia ocellata – have been discovered for the first time in Scottish coastal waters. All are highly distinctive but rarely ...
Occurrence of cyclic imines in European commercial seafood and consumers risk assessment
(Elsevier, 2017-12-01)
Cyclic imines constitute a quite recently discovered group of marine biotoxins that act on neural receptors and that bioaccumulate in seafood. They are grouped together due to the imino group functioning ...
Scope for growth and dietary needs of Mediteranean Pinnids maintained in captivity
(BMC, 2022-07-27)
Background
The measurement of the energy available for growth (scope of growth, SFG) can be used in bivalves to make a long-term prediction in a short-term experiment of the condition of the individual. ...
Use of a hydrodynamic model for the management of water renovation in a coastal system
(European Geosciences Union (EGU), 2019-03-04)
In this contribution we investigate the hydrodynamic response in Alfacs Bay (Ebro Delta, NW Mediterranean Sea) to different anthropogenic modifications in freshwater flows and inner bay–open sea ...
Supramolecular Complexes of Plant Neurotoxin Veratridine with Cyclodextrins and Their Antidote-like Effect on Neuro-2a Cell Viability
(MDPI, 2022-03-09)
Veratridine (VTD) is a plant neurotoxin that acts by blocking the voltage-gated sodium channels (VGSC) of cell membranes. Symptoms of VTD intoxication include intense nausea, hypotension, arrhythmia, ...
Changing nutrients, changing rivers
(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2019-08-16)
Eutrophication—the excessive enrichment of a body of water with nutrients such as nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P)—is Earth's most widespread problem for water quality (1, 2). Growing evidence suggests ...
