Abstract Dinoflagellates encompass highly abundant and diverse toxin-producing species among marine phytoplankton. Previous works suggested that some bacterial taxa may affect toxins production in dinoflagellates, however, little is known about impact of toxic dinoflagellates on their co-existing flora. Here we characterized the communities associated with 22 clonal cultures using DNA metabarco...

background: dental wastes are one of the environmental issues due to toxic and pathogenic agents such as pathological wastes, pharmaceutical and chemical etc have particular sensitivity. the aim of this study was to determine the dental waste management and related factors in the city of ilam. methods: in this cross-sectional study, the studied community was all the sixteen dental clinics in il...

human activities have continuously increased the level of heavy metal ions circulating in the environment. it is important to understand the tolerance of plant species to high concentrations of heavy metals. very little is known on the response of eucalyptus species to zn and cu toxic concentrations eucalyptus camaldulensis, e. microtheca, and e. occidentalis seeds were grown in silt and irriga...

we used wild boars and roe deer as biomonitors of lead (pb), cadmium (cd), and mercury (hg)contamination in two major industrial sites in poland with different levels of toxic metal pollution. masurianlakes district, located far away from industry, was used as the reference site. levels of pb, cd, and hg in liver,kidney and muscle samples and in the stomach content of the animals were determine...

to date, the effects of nanoparticles on woody plants remain unaddressed. this study reveals some of the physiological and biochemical effects of sio2 nanoparticles on wild pear seedlings. the seedlings were irrigated with different concentrations of nano silica (0, 10, 100, 500 and 1000 mg/l) for 14 days. nanoparticle adsorption and absorption, biomass allocation, gas exchange, relative water ...
