The use of microalgae as a food source is still poorly developed because the technical difficulties related to their cultivation and limited knowledge about chemical composition nutritional value. unicellular red microalga Galdieria sulphuraria has very high daily productivity its under acidic conditions avoided any bacterial contamination. G. can be cultured autotrophic heterotrophic conditions: in this study screening 43 strains showed that latter case duplication biomass production was...
In the aquatic environment, plastics may release several hazardous substances of severe ecotoxicological concern not covalently bound to polymers. The aim this study was examine adverse effects leachates different virgin polymers, polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), and polystyrene (PS) on marine microalgae Dunaliella tertiolecta. tests carried out D. tertiolecta included: growth inhibition, oxidative stress (DCFH-DA), DNA damage (COMET assay). Polypropylene PS produced inhibition at...
Plastic polymers were largely added with chemical substances to be utilized in the items and product manufacturing. The leachability of these is a matter concern given wide amount plastic waste, particularly terrestrial environments, where soil represents sink for novel contaminants possible pathway human health risk. In this study, we integrated genetic, molecular, behavioral approaches comparatively evaluate toxicological effects leachates, virgin oxodegradable polypropylene (PP)...
Sunscreens represent one of the main sources engineered TiO<sub>2</sub> and ZnO nanoparticles (NPs) in coastal ecosystems, especially during summer period.
The harmful effects of antifouling biocides in Southern Adriatic Sea water have been evaluated combining different and complementary methodologies thus allowing a deep robust interpretation the data.
