Assessment of the Artemia salina toxicity assay as a substitute of the mouse lethality assay in the determination of venom-induced toxicity and preclinical efficacy of antivenom

Toxicon: X
Mice are routinely used in snake venom research but are costly and subject to pain and suffering. The crustacean Artemia salina could be an alternative to mice, but data to support its adoption in snake venom research is limited.

Biological communities of a nutrient enriched salina

Aquatic Botany, 1978
Abstract The plant and animal associations in the ponds of a solar salt-producing system (salina) in Long Island, Bahamas are described before, during and after the addition of fertilizers. After fertilization, most organisms were found in the thick, several-layered bottom mats that developed.

A New Era for Using Natural Pigments: The Case of the C50 Carotenoid Called Bacterioruberin

Biotechnology and Applied Biochemistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Haloarchaea are extremophilic microorganisms belonging to the Archaea domain that require high salt concentrations to live, thus inhabiting ecosystems like salty ponds, salty marshes, or extremely salty lagoons. They are more abundant and widely distributed worldwide than initially expected.

Morphology of Salina offshore (Southern Tyrrhenian Sea) [PDF]

, 2015
In this paper, we present the first complete morphological map of the Salina offshore at a scale of 1:100,000. The submarine flanks of the Salina edifice extend down to −650 to −1300 m, are steep and characterized by an uneven morphology due to the ...

Green‐lighting biofuels from microalgal lipids: A review of strategies to integrate stress into continuous cultures

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract The vision of using microalgae to obtain organic chemicals in a carbon‐neutral manner is intriguing. It promises to produce various substances including biofuels by photosynthesis, without competing with agricultural land. Processes have been established whereby microalgae undergo a growth phase followed by a stress phase, which induces lipid ...

Towards a material‐dialogic theory of climate teacher education: A global North–South dialogue

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper develops a novel theoretical stance for reimagining initial teacher education (ITE) through genuine North–South dialogue that challenges dominant Global North paradigms in teacher education. Drawing on collaborative inquiry between researchers from England and Chile, we synthesise material‐dialogic space theory (derived from Global ...
