Agricultural impacts on streams near Nitrate Vulnerable Zones: A case study in the Ebro basin, Northern Spain
(Public Library of Science, 2019-11-08)
Agricultural intensification during the last century has caused river degradation across Europe. From the wide range of stressors derived from agricultural activities that impact rivers, diffuse ...
Getting value from the waste: recombinant production of a sweet protein by Lactococcus lactis grown on cheese whey
(BioMed Central, 2018-08-15)
Background
Recent biotechnological advancements have allowed for the adoption of Lactococcus lactis, a typical component of starter cultures used in food industry, as the host for the production of ...
Validated methodology for quantifying infestation levels of dreissenid mussels in environmental DNA (eDNA) samples
(Nature Research, 2016-12-14)
The zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha Pallas, 1771) and the quagga mussel (D. rostriformis Deshayes, 1838) are successful invasive bivalves with substantial ecological and economic impacts in freshwater ...
A Metal-Free and Biotically Degradable Battery for Portable Single-Use Applications
(Wiley, 2017-05-16)
This article presents a new approach for environmentally benign, low-cost batteries intended for single-use applications. The proposed battery is designed and fabricated using exclusively organic materials ...
Culex flavivirus infection in a Culex pipiens mosquito colony and its effects on vector competence for Rift Valley fever phlebovirus
(BioMed Central, 2018-05-23)
Background
Rift Valley fever is a mosquito-borne zoonotic disease that affects domestic ruminants and humans. Culex flavivirus is an insect-specific flavivirus that naturally exists in field mosquito ...
About the existence of common determinants of gene expression in the porcine liver and skeletal muscle
(BMC, 2019-06-24)
Background: The comparison of expression QTL (eQTL) maps obtained in different tissues is an essential step to
understand how gene expression is genetically regulated in a context-dependent manner. In ...
Development Temperature Has Persistent Effects on Muscle Growth Responses in Gilthead Sea Bream
(Public Library of Science, 2012-12-17)
Initially we characterised growth responses to altered nutritional input at the transcriptional and tissue levels in the fast
skeletal muscle of juvenile gilthead sea bream. Fish reared at 21–22uC ...
Crossbreeding effects on rabbit reproduction from four maternal lines of rabbits
(Elsevier, 2016-01-07)
Litter size is essential for an efficient production of rabbit meat. A diallel cross between four maternal lines was carried out and the analysis of the components of litter size has been already done. ...
Relative bioavailability of DL and L-methionine in broilers
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2018-04-12)
Studies on the relative bioavailability (RBV) of DL-Methionine (DL-Met) to
L-Methionine (L-Met) have produced variable results. An experiment was
conducted to determine the RBV of DL to L-Met. A total ...
Multi‑breed and multi‑trait co‑association analysis of meat tenderness and other meat quality traits in three French beef cattle breeds
(BMC, 2016-04-23)
Background: Studies to identify markers associated with beef tenderness have focused on Warner–Bratzler shear force (WBSF) but the interplay between the genes associated with WBSF has not been explored. ...
