Ectomycorrhizal fungi and the nitrogen economy of Nothofagus in southern Patagonia
Ectomycorrhizal fungi play essential roles in nitrogen cycling and plant nutrient uptake at high latitudes. However, they have disproportionately been studied in boreal forests dominated by evergreen conifers. We characterized ectomycorrhizal associations and the nitrogen economy of co‐occurring deciduous and evergreen angiosperms from the genus ...

Summary Dioxins (PCDD/F) and dioxin‐like polychlorinated biphenyls (DL‐PCB) are harmful compounds that remain in the environment and accumulate in the food chain. Polychlorinated dibenzo‐p‐dioxins (PCDDs) and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs) are mainly by‐products of industrial processes, but can also be the result of natural processes such as ...

Scientific opinion on marine biotoxins in shellfish in the Republic of Croatia
Summary Marine biotoxins are thermostable, mostly non‐protein molecules with different chemical components. According to solubility, they are divided into water‐soluble (hydrophilic) and fat‐soluble (lipophilic). The regulations of the EU and the Republic of Croatia regarding the maximum limits (ML) in live shellfish cover several groups: azaspiracids (

Summary Ochratoxin A (OTA) is the most toxic representative in the group of nephrotoxic mycotoxins, ochratoxins. OTA was first isolated in 1965 as a stable secondary metabolite of A. ochraceus. Penicillia and aspergilli most often synthesize OTA on cereals (wheat, corn, barley, rye, rice), nuts, raw fruits and vegetables, plant origin foods (wine ...
