Brown Macroalgae (Phaeophyceae): A Valuable Reservoir of Antimicrobial Compounds on Northern Coast of Spain
(MDPI, 2022-12-12)
The search for new sources of antimicrobial compounds has become an urgent need, due to the threat that the spread of bacterial resistance represents for global health and food safety. Brown macroalgae ...
Global water consumption impacts on riverine fish species richness in Life Cycle Assessment
(Elsevier, 2022-09-13)
Reduced river discharge and flow regulation are significant threats to freshwater biodiversity. An accurate representation of potential damage of water consumption on freshwater biodiversity is required ...
Evaluation of alpaca tracheal explants as an ex vivo model for the study of Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) infection
(BMC, 2022-09-02)
Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) poses a serious threat to public health. Here, we established an ex vivo alpaca tracheal explant (ATE) model using an air-liquid interface culture ...
Inheritance of esters and other volatile compounds responsible for the fruity aroma in strawberry
(Frontiers Media, 2022-08-12)
Cultivated strawberry, Fragaria × ananassa, has a complex aroma due to the presence of more than 350 volatile organic compounds (VOCs). However, a mixture of only 19 compounds, called Key Volatile ...
Assessment of a novel microalgae-cork based technology for removing antibiotics, pesticides and nitrates from groundwater
(Elsevier, 2022-04-29)
Groundwater pollution has increased in recent years due to the intensification of agricultural and livestock activities. This results in a significant reduction in available freshwater resources. Here, ...
Modeling the impact of surveillance activities combined with physical distancing interventions on COVID-19 epidemics at a local level
(KeAi Communications, 2022-11-17)
Physical distancing and contact tracing are two key components in controlling the COVID-
19 epidemics. Understanding their interaction at local level is important for policymakers.
