Unveiling the Relationship Between Sea Surface Hydrographic Patterns and Tuna Larval Distribution in the Central Mediterranean Sea
2021
Thunnus thynnus (Atlantic bluefin tuna, ABT) and other tuna species reproduce in the Mediterranean Sea during the summer period. Despite the Central Mediterranean Sea, the Strait of Sicily in particular, being a key spawning site for many tuna species, little is known on the effects of oceanographic variability on their larval distribution in this area. The abundance and presence-absence of larval specimens for three tuna species (ABT, bullet tuna and albacore) were modeled in order to examine their relationships with environmental factors, by analysing historical in situ information collected during seven annual surveys (2010–2016). The results revealed that most tuna larvae for the three …
Tolerance, Adaptation, and Cell Response Elicited by Micromonospora sp. Facing Tellurite Toxicity: A Biological and Physical-Chemical Characterization
2022
The intense use of tellurium (Te) in industrial applications, along with the improper disposal of Te-derivatives, is causing their accumulation in the environment, where oxyanion tellurite (TeO32−) is the most soluble, bioavailable, and toxic Te-species. On the other hand, tellurium is a rare metalloid element whose natural supply will end shortly with possible economic and technological effects. Thus, Te-containing waste represents the source from which Te should be recycled and recovered. Among the explored strategies, the microbial TeO32− biotransformation into less toxic Te-species is the most appropriate concerning the circular economy. Actinomycetes are ideal candidates in…
Assessment of the possibility of implementing small retention reservoirs in terms of the need to increase water resources
2021
Obecnie w Polsce z powodu zmniejszonych zasobów wodnych istnieje potrzeba budowy zbiorników wodnych. Pełnią one w środowisku ważne funkcje gospodarcze, przyrodnicze, rekreacyjne, poprawiają bilans wodny i przyczyniają się do ochrony przeciwpowodziowej. Budując zbiornik wodny, oprócz zagadnień hydrologicznych związanych z ilością wody, należy wziąć pod uwagę jakość wody, która będzie retencjonowana w zbiorniku, jego zamulenie oraz szereg innych aspektów. Bardzo ważna jest więc analiza uwarunkowań zbiorników planowanych, w tym fizjograficznych, hydrologicznych, hydrochemicznych i hydrogeologicznych, aby ograniczyć potencjalne negatywne skutki podejmowania decyzji o budowie takich obiektów. W …
1H NMR-Based Metabolomics to Assess the Impact of Soil Type on the Chemical Composition of Nero d’Avola Red Wines
2023
: In this study, the soil effect on the micro-component composition of Nero d'Avola wines obtained from different locations was investigated through 1H NMR-based metabolomics. Two different approaches were applied: the targeted (TA) and the non-targeted one (NTA). The former differentiated the wines by profiling (i.e., by identifying and quantifying) a number of different metabolites. The latter provided wine fingerprinting by processing the entire spectra with multivariate statistical analysis. NTA also allowed investigation of the hydrogen bond network inside wines via the analysis of 1H NMR chemical shift dispersions. Results showed that the differences among wines were due not only to t…
