In temperate and subarctic regions of the Northern Hemisphere, green algae genus Blidingia are a substantial environment-shaping component upper mid-supralittoral zones. However, taxonomic knowledge on these important is still sparse. present study, molecular diversity distribution species in German State Schleswig-Holstein was examined for first time, including Baltic Sea Wadden coasts off-sho...

Abstract Background The research was carried out to assess the lipid characteristics of oil extracted from head and gills Claris macrocephalus Scomber scombrus. Results results confirmed presence C16:0, C18:0, C18:1, C18:2, C18:3, C22:6 as major fatty acids. Titus fish (TFHD) had a total saturated acid (TSFA) 40.804 ± 0.002% which C16:0 C18:0 were most dominant acids present while monounsaturat...

The utility of the Mg/Ca elemental ratio calcite ((Mg/Ca)calcite) as a temperature indicator in continental carbonate deposits is matter debate due to different results obtained by diverse authors. In this study, we aimed test reliability (Mg/Ca)calcite fluvial carbonates. We selected recent tufa stromatolite records four rivers on Iberian Peninsula for trace element analysis based six-monthly ...

The green seaweeds Ulva australis and U. pertusa were described from southern Australia Japan, respectively. They are conspecific australis, the currently accepted taxon, is native to temperate marine waters in north-eastern Asia, known be introduced overseas into Australasia, Americas Europe. Although genetics of have been investigated elsewhere, along French coasts origins history introductio...

Palaeolithic sites associated with the Eemian Interglacial (MIS 5e) are very rare in NW Europe, and especially Northern France, where their preservation is restricted to specific geological contexts, association carbonated tufa (Caours) or peat deposits (Waziers). In order check reliability of ESR/U-series method date teeth recovered from archaeological levels such environments, were sampled on...

Abstract At present, the Basin and Range of western USA is arid, but geologic studies show evidence past wetness. The timing these wetter conditions reveals a close association with glacial conditions. This has led to hypothesis causal link between climate regional wetness, poor age control on onset wetness thwarts test this hypothesis. Here we determine start most recent interval persistent in...

Microorganisms, such as bacteria, are one of the first targets of nanoparticles in the environment. In this study, we tested the effect of two nanoparticles, ZnO and TiO2, with the salt ZnSO4 as the control, on the Gram-positive bacterium Bacillus subtilis by 2D gel electrophoresis-based proteomics. Despite a significant effect on viability (LD50), TiO2 NPs had no detectable effect on the prote...
