Abstract The health risks linked to the consumption of microcystin-accumulating crops have been increasing worldwide in toxic cyanobloom-occurring regions. bioaccumulation microcystins (MCs) agricultural produce at environmentally realistic concentrations is poorly investigated. In this field study, we assessed MCs raw water used for irrigating fruit (bioaccumulation) and watering farm animals Lalla Takerkoust region (Marrakesh, Morocco). Thus, were extracted from samples quantified by...
Natural toxins such as those produced by freshwater cyanobacteria have been regarded an emergent environmental threat. However, the impact of these water contaminants in agriculture is not yet fully understood. The aim this work was to investigate microcystin-LR (MC-LR) toxicity Lycopersicon esculentum and toxin accumulation horticultural crop. Adult plants (2 month-old) grown a greenhouse environment were exposed for 2 weeks either pure MC-LR (100 μg/L) or Microcystis aeruginosa crude...
Endoplasmic-reticulum-associated degradation (ERAD) is an important protein quality control system which maintains homeostasis. Constituents of the ERAD complex and its role in neurodegeneration are not yet fully understood. Here, using proteomic FRET analyses, we demonstrate that ER membralin component, mediates luminal membrane substrates. Interestingly, identify nicastrin, a key component γ-secretase complex, as binding membralin-associated substrate. We reduction mRNA levels Alzheimer's...
Cyanotoxins are a large group of noxious metabolites with different chemical structure and mechanisms action, worldwide distribution, producing effects in animals, humans, crop plants. When cyanotoxin-contaminated waters used for the irrigation edible vegetables, humans can be contact these toxins through food chain. In this work, method simultaneous detection Microcystin-LR (MC-LR), Microcystin-RR (MC-RR), Microcystin-YR (MC-YR), Cylindrospermopsin (CYN) lettuce has been optimized...
ABSTRACT Background The giant squid (Architeuthis dux; Steenstrup, 1857) is an enigmatic mollusc with a circumglobal distribution in the deep ocean, except high Arctic and Antarctic waters. elusiveness of species makes it difficult to study. Thus, having genome assembled for this deep-sea–dwelling will allow several pending evolutionary questions be unlocked. Findings We present draft assembly that includes 200 Gb Illumina reads, 4 Moleculo synthetic long 108 Chicago libraries, final size...
Titanium dioxide (TiO2) and silver (Ag) NPs are among the most used engineered inorganic nanoparticles (NPs); however, their potential effects to marine demersal fish species, not fully understood. Therefore, this study aimed assess proteomic alterations induced by sub-lethal concentrations citrate-coated 25 nm ("P25") TiO2 or polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) coated 15 Ag turbot, Scophthalmus maximus. Juvenile were exposed through daily feeding for 14 days. The tested 0, 0.75 1.5 mg of each per kg...
