Medium Internal Phase Emulsions Stabilized by Soy Protein Isolates: Protein Solubility Effect and Stabilization Mechanism

Foods
The solubility of soybean isolate protein (SPI) undergoes significant degradation during storage and transportation. This study investigates the formulation and assessment of SPI-stabilized medium internal phase emulsions (MIPEs) with different ...

Biological importance of marine algae

Saudi Pharmaceutical Journal, 2010
Marine organisms are potentially prolific sources of highly bioactive secondary metabolites that might represent useful leads in the development of new pharmaceutical agents. Algae can be classified into two main groups; first one is the microalgae, which includes blue green algae, dinoflagellates, bacillariophyta (diatoms)… etc., and second one is ...

Dynamics of biotic resistance to plant invasions

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biotic resistance, the reduction in invasion success caused by native communities, plays an important role in the long‐term dynamics of biological invasions. A large body of empirical research on biotic resistance has accumulated since the last comprehensive review on the subject 20 years ago, enabling us to achieve a refined understanding of ...

Partners or passengers? Revisiting the association between diatoms and aquatic animals

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Numerous studies have revealed the importance of research on the communities capable of colonizing animal surfaces (epibionts) and the animals on which they live (basibionts). Very few studies have considered epizoic diatoms, and there are gaps and biases in our knowledge, including the choice of basibionts, the methods used, and the habitats ...

Review of the fauna associated with wild and farmed mussels and oysters in the Mediterranean

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mussels and oysters are important ecosystem engineers which modify the physical and chemical characteristics of the environment and create habitats that support highly diverse associated communities. In the Mediterranean Sea, the native Mediterranean mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis and the European flat oyster Ostrea edulis, together the ...

Evidence for adaptive explanations of semelparity in animals

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Semelparity, the reproductive strategy of reproducing once, is widespread but uncommon in animals. Classes of models to explain the evolution of semelparity are based either on age structure and mortality schedules – demographic models in which high post‐reproductive mortality risk favours high reproductive effort and semelparity results from ...

Comparison of Gut Microbiota Between Golden and Brown Noble Scallop Chlamys nobilis and Its Association With Carotenoids

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Many marine bivalves are regarded as healthy foods due to their high carotenoid content. Only plants and microorganisms have natural carotenoids biosynthesis ability, hence, animals such as bivalves must obtain carotenoids from their diets.

A Systemic Model for Understanding Business Interactions With Biodiversity and Ecosystems

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biodiversity loss and ecosystem degradation represent critical threats to human well‐being and economic resilience, challenging businesses to understand and manage their interdependence with natural systems. This study develops a systemic framework—the BioModel—that elucidates the reciprocal relationship between businesses, biodiversity, and ...

Unregulated use of ammonium-based inorganic fertilizers in large-scale commercial tropical eucheumatoid seaweed farming: evaluating physiological and biochemical consequences through controlled land-based hatchery cultivation

Journal of Agriculture and Food Research
Depleted or limited available macronutrients is considered a major constraint in eucheumatoid seaweed farming, particularly in intensively farmed areas.
