چکیده
The definition of pre-Messinian source rocks in the eastern Mediterranean is paramount importance for hydrocarbon exploration because ability salt to act as a high-quality seal rock. This research evaluates organic geochemical features Upper Miocene (Tortonian—Messinian) sedimentary succession onshore Crete Island, Greece. study employs original (Messinian, Agios Myron Fm) and published (Tortonian, Viannos Fm, Skinias Moulia Messinian Ploutis section) results from analyses mudstone samples. One hundred one samples were examined using standard geochemistry methodology (Rock-Eval II VI-TOC) define origin, type, degree matter maturity. data indicate that studied have poor fair gas-prone rock potential. These possible units not experienced great temperatures during burial, and, thus, their thermally immature. sub-salt are likely be higher thermal maturity western south Cretan trenches tectonic subsidence thicker overburden. Several traps can grow these regions, associated with normal faults, rotated blocks unconformities (both below above unconformities). provides basis further evaluation potential Island. It an area shares geological similarities surrounding regions contain proven reserves crucial economic strategic importance.

Isolation of Mycobacterium malmoense in the island of Crete, Greece.
Mycobacterium malmoense was isolated from a broncho-alveolar lavage sample of a 73-year-old cancer (small cell lung carcinoma) patient in Crete, representing the first reported case of this pathogen in Greece. The isolate was considered to be a colonizer and the patient did not receive any antimycobacterial treatment while he received chemotherapy to which he responded favourably. No signs of p...
