This paper presents records extending or confirming the distribution of Mediterranean species. Three alien algae are included, namely Codium taylorii reported for first time from Aegean and Turkey (Izmir Gulf), Caulerpa racemosa var. cylindracea (Karpathos Chalki Isl., Sea) Ganonema farinosum Sea). As far as animals concerned, Litarachna divergens (Acari: Hydrachnidia) was recorded (Side, Eastern Mediterranean) represents a new amendment at genus level Turkish fauna. Other invertebrates...
Listeria monocytogenes is of major concern in the fermented meat products and able to persist their processing environments. The aim present work was evaluate virulence profile persistence capacity L. strains isolated Sardinian sausages plants. Food (ground meat, at end acidification ripening stage) environmental samples (a total n. 385), collected from 4 plants located Sardinia (Italy), were examined detect presence. All isolates identified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method. A...
The aim of the present study was to evaluate presence
Copper (Cu) is a ubiquitous trace element in the aquatic environment, and usually found at low levels. environmental concentrations can be altered as result anthropogenic activities. Shellfish are useful bioindicators to ensure adequate monitoring. Thus, aim of present study was follows: (a) determine LC50 copper(I) chloride grooved carpet shell (Ruditapes decussatus) collected Santa Gilla lagoon (Sardinia, Italy), (b) analyze antioxidant biomarkers digestive gland gills same specimens...
Oysters are sessile, filter-feeding bivalve molluscs widely distributed in estuarine and coastal habitats worldwide. They constitute a valuable resource for fisheries extensive aquaculture provide essential ecological services. Yet, their genetic diversity distribution remain understudied. The variability shell morphology complicates species classification, which is influenced by environmental factors. Although molecular phylogenetics research has refined oyster taxonomy identified...
Mislabelling and species substitution are major concerns for fishery products marketed in the EU. The present survey aimed to investigate correct enforcement of Community National rules on labelling marketing retailed Sardinia (Italy) between 2009 2014. A total 3000 labels fresh unpacked have been considered. 900 (30%) presented non-compliance concerning wrong trade name, or missing information about catch area production method. highest percentage mislabelling has detected open-air markets...
Mycobacterium spp. and Photobacterium damselae subsp. piscicida are recognized as the most frequent causative agents of granulomatous lesions in fish. Although episodes mycobacterial infections have been reported wild fish worldwide, only sporadic cases documented to date Italy. To investigate for presence referable mycobacteriosis identify species involved, a total 159 mullets were fished from eastern coast Ligurian Sea, killed necropsied. Liver spleen samples collected all...
The aim of the present study was to evaluate effect Piophila casei colonization under controlled conditions on "casu marzu", a typical Sardinian sheep milk cheese. Three batches two different kind cheese (PO, holed paste and PC, firm paste) were produced in duplicate (test control). Test cheeses exposed conditioned store room, while control suitably protected. All samples analyzed at 0, 10, 30, 60 90 days from production. pH aw, chemical composition microbiological parameters (food safety...
