Exploring the Potential and Evaluating Hydrocarbon Degradation by Novel Antarctic Dietzia and Pusillimonas Isolates From a Pristine Environment. [PDF]

Environ Microbiol Rep
The Antarctic Dietzia and Pusillimonas isolates were tested for bioremediation applications. Genomic analyses revealed the potential to degrade complex organic compounds, potential virulence factors and resistance genes. Physiological assays showed a wide range of adaptation to abiotic factors and sensitivity to different groups of antibiotics ...

Fat rather than health – Ecotoxic responses of Bufo raddei to environmental heavy metal stress during the non-breeding season

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2022
The non-breeding season is a critical period for iteroparous animals to repair damage and store energy, which is crucial for future survival and reproductive success. However, it is unknown how animals allocate energy efficiently among reproduction, self-

Optimal analysis conditions for sperm motility parameters with a CASA system in a passerine bird, Passer montanus

Avian Research, 2019
Background Sperm motility parameters, which can be measured objectively and repeatedly by a computer-assisted sperm analysis (CASA) system, are important indicators of sperm quality. However, the sperm motility parameters assessed by a CASA system can be

Age and annual growth rate cause spatial variation in body size in Phrynocephalus przewalskii (Agamid)

Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Whether or not biogeographic rules dealing with spatial patterns of animal body sizes are valid for ectotherms is controversial. As the ectotherms grow all their lives, we explored the role of age and annual growth rate in body size variation in ...

Viable Putative Vibrio vulnificus and parahaemolyticus in the Pensacola and Perdido Bays: Water Column, Sediments, and Invertebrate Biofilms

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Vibriosis is the general term for human illnesses caused by infection of pathogenic Vibrio species. Vibrio vulnificus (Vv) and parahaemolyticus (Vp) are two problematic waterborne pathogens that have yet to be enumerated in northwest Florida coastal Gulf
