The biological potential hidden in inclusion bodies
(MDPI, 2020-02-15)
Inclusion bodies (IBs) are protein nanoclusters obtained during recombinant protein production processes, and several studies have demonstrated their potential as biomaterials for therapeutic protein ...
Ciguatoxin occurrence in food-web components of a Cuban Coral Reef Ecosystem: Risk-assessment implications
(MDPI, 2019-12-11)
In Cuba, ciguatera poisoning associated with fish consumption is the most commonly occurring non-bacterial seafood-borne illness. Risk management through fish market regulation has existed in Cuba for ...
Prevalence and lameness-associated risk factors in Alberta feedlot cattle
(Oxford University Press, 2019-03-13)
Lameness in cattle is a health and welfare concern; however, limited information is available on risk factors and the relationship between lameness and common diseases like bovine respiratory disease ...
A new generation of recombinant polypeptides combines multiple protein domains for effective antimicrobial activity
(BMC, 2020-06-05)
Background
Although most of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), being relatively short, are produced by chemical synthesis, several AMPs have been produced using recombinant technology. However, AMPs could ...
Biomarkers of Deoxynivalenol Toxicity in Chickens with Special Emphasis on Metabolic and Welfare Parameters
(MDPI, 2021-03-17)
Deoxynivalenol (DON), a trichothecene mycotoxin produced by Fusarium species, is the most widespread mycotoxin in poultry feed worldwide. Long term-exposure from low to moderate DON concentrations can ...
Marine Dinoflagellate Assemblage in the Galápagos Marine Reserve
(Frontiers Media, 2019-05-07)
It is likely that harmful algal blooms have increased in frequency, intensity, and geographic distribution in the last decades in response to anthropogenic activities. The Galápagos Islands are renowned ...
An Attempt to Characterize the Ciguatoxin Profile in Seriola fasciata Causing Ciguatera Fish Poisoning in Macaronesia
(MDPI, 2019-04-13)
Ciguatera Fish Poisoning is a worldwide concern caused by the consumption of fish contaminated with ciguatoxins not only in endemic regions in the Pacific Ocean or the Caribbean Sea but also in emerging ...
Selection and application of agri-environmental indicators to assess potential technologies for nutrient recovery in agriculture
(Elsevier, 2021-12-13)
The adverse effects of agriculture and livestock production on the environment are well-known and require mitigation in order to achieve sustainability in the food production chain. This study focused ...
Invasion genetics of the mummichog (Fundulus heteroclitus): recent anthropogenic introduction in Iberia
(PeerJ, 2019-02-08)
Human activities such as trade and transport have increased considerably in the last decades, greatly facilitating the introduction and spread of non-native species at a global level. In the Iberian ...
Performance and environmental accounting of nutrient cycling models to estimate nitrogen emissions in agriculture and their sensitivity in life cycle assessment
(Springer, 2021-02-04)
Purpose
Several models are available in the literature to estimate agricultural emissions. From life cycle assessment (LCA) perspective, there is no standardized procedure for estimating emissions of ...
