Prioritizing marine invasive alien species in the European Union through horizon scanning

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 30, Issue 4, Page 794-845, April 2020., 2020
Abstract The disproportionately low presence of marine species in the list of invasive alien species (IAS) of Union concern of the European Union (EU) Regulation 1143/2014 does not fully acknowledge the threat they pose to the EU marine environment. In this study, the first EU‐scale Horizon Scanning (HS) focusing on marine alien species was performed ...

Effects of paralytic shellfish poisoning toxin-producing dinoflagellate Gymnodinium catenatum on the marine copepod Tigriopus japonicus

, 2021
To understand how the marine copepod Tigriopus japonicus responds to the toxic marine dinoflagellate Gymnodinium catenatum, we assessed acute toxicity and investigated swimming behavior parameters (e.g., swimming speed, swimming path trajectory, and ...

Streamlined production, purification, and characterization of recombinant extracellular polyhydroxybutyrate depolymerases

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 9, Issue 4, April 2020., 2020
A rapid, efficient approach for the expression of active recombinant extracellular polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) depolymerases originating from various bacterial strains. It enables the characterization of new PHB depolymerases and the direct comparison of activity between enzymes and conditions; as an example, the activity of five PHB depolymerases is ...

Identifying potentially invasive non‐native marine and brackish water species for the Arabian Gulf and Sea of Oman

Global Change Biology, Volume 26, Issue 4, Page 2081-2092, April 2020., 2020
This review identifies and risk screens potentially invasive non‐native species (NNS) within the Regional Organization for the Protection of the Marine Environment Sea Area. In total, 136 NNS were identified, of which 56 are already present and a further 80 were identified as likely to arrive in the future.

Stationary Distribution and Periodic Solution of Stochastic Toxin‐Producing Phytoplankton–Zooplankton Systems

Complexity, Volume 2020, Issue 1, 2020., 2020
In this paper, we investigate the dynamics of autonomous and nonautonomous stochastic toxin‐producing phytoplankton–zooplankton system. For the autonomous system, we establish the sufficient conditions for the existence of the globally positive solution as well as the solution of population extinction and persistence in the mean.

Identification of the Gene sxtA (Domains sxtA1 and sxtA4) in Mexican Strains of Gymnodinium catenatum (Dinophyceae) and Their Evolution

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2018
Saxitoxin (STX) and its analogs are a broad group of natural neurotoxic alkaloids, commonly known as paralytic shellfish toxins. SxtA is the initial gene in the biosynthesis of saxitoxin.

Short-term changes in algal blooms and phytoplankton community after the passage of Super Typhoon Lekima in a temperate and inner sea (Bohai Sea) in China

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2022
Extensive multi-species harmful algal blooms (HABs) were triggered by Super Typhoon Lekima in Laizhou Bay (Bohai Sea) in August 2019. After conducting two field cruises before and after the typhoon passage, we employed both high-performance liquid ...
