Concerns regarding plastic pollution, especially microplastics, have increased, as they can be present in different environmental compartments, including estuarine areas and saltmarshes. Although saltmarshes are highly vulnerable to human activities pressures, the ability trap/retain contaminants their vegetated sediments. However, there is still little information role of microplastic retention. Thus, study aims investigate capability an saltmarsh trap microplastics by comparing...
Single particle inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (spICP-MS) is widely employed for characterizing selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) biosynthesized by several microorganisms when exposed to oxyanions. However, accurate and precise characterization...
Haloferax mediterranei has revealed a high bioremediation potential for several inorganic anions (e.g., nitrates and nitrites) metals from hypersaline waters brines. However, it is unclear, to date, whether this microorganism allows Cd (II) bioremediation. Consequently, the main objective of work was assess Hfx. R4. To end, cell growth rate metal bioaccumulation were investigated using different culture media (complex, CM, defined medium, DM) containing up 1 mM. In addition, elemental...
