History of American Marine Laboratories : Why Do Research At the Seashore ? 1

SYNOPSIS. Throughout the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries, researchers have gone in increasing numbers to the seashore to carry out biological research. Some people have chosen to study organisms in the sea, others life forms at the sea's edges. While not all of these researchers actually have needed to be at the seashore to do their work, a significant number of research programs have, ...

A new horizon for biological field stations and marine laboratories.

Bioprospection of marine microorganisms: potential and challenges for Argentina.

The marine environments of Argentina have a remarkable extension, as well as high biological productivity and biodiversity of both macro- and microorganisms. Despite having a great potential for biotechnological applications, the microorganisms inhabiting these ecosystems remain mostly unexplored and unexploited. In this review, we study the research topics and the interactions among Argentinea...

The Role of Microbiology Laboratories and Specialists in Passive Bio- Defense

Abstract Background and Objective: Biological weapons, like other weapons of mass destruction such as chemical, nuclear and radiological are very dangerous. In recent years, they are employed in biotterrorist attacks by many countries because of  some properties such as: the ability to make massive injury, having latent period, creating a prolonged illness, potential outbreaks and e...
