Factors driving the seasonal dynamics of Pseudo-nitzschia species and domoic acid at mussel farming in the SW Mediterranean Sea
(Taylor and Francis, 2019-10-17)
The seasonal variations in Pseudo-nitzschia species and domoic acid (DA) concentration were investigated, at three shellfish farms in SW coastal Mediterranean. In parallel, the toxicity of mussels was ...
Detection of Gambierdiscus and Fukuyoa single cells using recombinase polymerase amplification combined with a sandwich hybridization assay
(Springer, 2021-04-10)
Dinoflagellates of the genera Gambierdiscus and Fukuyoa are known to produce several bioactive compounds including the potent neurotoxic ciguatoxins (CTXs) which are able to accumulate in fish and through ...
Combining an effect-based methodology with chemical analysis for antibiotics determination in wastewater and receiving freshwater and marine environment
(Elsevier, 2020-12-15)
Two different methodologies were combined to evaluate the risks that antibiotics can pose in the environment; i) an effect-based methodology based on microbial growth inhibition and ii) an analytical ...
Duplex electrochemical biosensor for the detection of the tdh and trh virulence genes of Vibrio parahaemolyticus in oysters
(Elsevier, 2023-02-17)
Vibrio parahaemolyticus is a bacterium present in estuarine environments. Since the first outbreak in Japan in 1950, it has been a dominant cause of foodborne infections throughout the world. Vibrio ...
Fast analysis of relevant contaminants mixture in commercial shellfish
(Elsevier, 2019-05-04)
One of the major challenges currently faced is to develop systematic ways of addressing chemical mixtures in environmental assessment. With this purpose, a simple, rapid, and sensitive method for the ...
Monitoring rice crop and yield estimation with Sentinel-2 data
(Elsevier, 2022-03-06)
The future success of rice farming will lie in developing productive, sustainable, and resilient farming systems in relation to coexistent ecosystems. Thus, accurate information on agricultural practices ...
β-cyclodextrin polymer as tetrodotoxins scavenger in oyster extracts
(Elsevier, 2024-04-16)
Tetrodotoxins (TTXs) are potent marine neurotoxins involved in poisoning cases in humans after consumption of some marine organisms. A cell-based assay (CBA) providing toxicological information is a ...
Connecting the morphological and molecular species concepts to facilitate species identification within the genus Fragilaria (Bacillariophyta)
(Wiley, 2019-05-20)
This paper explores the diversity and taxonomy of species within Fragilaria sensu stricto, an abundant and ecologically important diatom genus, taking advantage of cultured and DNA ‐barcoded material. ...
Presence of Vibrio mediterranei associated to major mortality in stabled individuals of Pinna nobilis L.
(Elsevier, 2019-12-20)
A major epizootic event attributed to Haplosporidium pinnae leading to 100% mortality of Pinna nobilis L. populations along Mediterranean coastlines started in the fall of 2016. As a result, a project ...
Stable isotope analyses reveal major nutritional deficiencies in captive vs. field juvenile individuals of Pinna nobilis
(Elsevier, 2021-03-16)
The pen shell, Pinna nobilis L. is critically endangered by the spread of a haplosporidan parasite. Stable isotopes have been shown an association with dietary assimilation, trophic level, and body ...
