Biosensors Based on Isothermal DNA Amplification for Bacterial Detection in Food Safety and Environmental Monitoring
(MDPI, 2021-01-16)
The easy and rapid spread of bacterial contamination and the risk it poses to human health makes evident the need for analytical methods alternative to conventional time-consuming laboratory-based ...
Physiological responses of the fan mussel Pinna nobilis to temperature: ecological and captivity implications
(Hellenic Centre for Marine Research, 2023-05-29)
The fan mussel Pinna nobilis is experiencing a mass mortality event throughout the Mediterranean Sea. The survival of the remaining isolated populations and the maintenance and reproduction of individuals ...
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, ...
Alternative Methods for the Detection of Emerging Marine Toxins: Biosensors, Biochemical Assays and Cell-Based Assays
(MDPI, 2014-11-26)
The emergence of marine toxins in water and seafood may have a considerable impact on public health. Although the tendency in Europe is to consolidate, when possible, official reference methods based ...
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, ...
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 ...
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. ...
Drivers of variation in seagrass-associated amphipods across biogeographical areas
(Elsevier, 2023-02-10)
Amphipods are one of the dominant epifaunal groups in seagrass meadows. However, our understanding of the biogeographical patterns in the distribution of these small crustaceans is limited. In this ...
Living on the Edge: Demography of the Slender-Billed Gull in the Western Mediterranean
(Public Library of Science, 2014-03-24)
Small and peripheral populations are typically vulnerable to local extinction processes but important for the metapopulation dynamics of species. The Slender-billed gull (Chroicocephalus genei) is a ...
Risk Assessment Strategies for Contaminants in Seafood (RASCS)
(Wiley, 2023-12-05)
Risk Assessment Strategies for Contaminants in Seafood (RASCS) is an EFSA Partnering Grant focusing on KEamong seven European Institutions. The project lasted from June 2021 to June 2023. The proposal ...
