Accumulation of Cu and Zn from antifouling paint particles by the marine macroalga, Ulva lactuca.
(England, 2009-08)The marine macroalga, Ulva lactuca, has been exposed to different concentrations of antifouling paint particles (4-200 mg L(-1)) in the presence of a fixed quantity of clean estuarine sediment and its photosynthetic ... -
Dynamic transcriptomic profiles of zebrafish gills in response to zinc depletion.
(England, 2010-10-08)BACKGROUND: Zinc deficiency is detrimental to organisms, highlighting its role as an essential micronutrient contributing to numerous biological processes. To investigate the underlying molecular events invoked by zinc ... -
Dynamic transcriptomic profiles of zebrafish gills in response to zinc supplementation.
(England, 2010-10-11)BACKGROUND: Dietary zinc supplementation may help to promote growth, boost the immune system, protect against diabetes, and aid recovery from diarrhoea. We exploited the zebrafish (Danio rerio) gill as a unique vertebrate ... -
The effect of wastewater effluent derived ligands on copper and zinc complexation.
(Germany, 2017-03)The shift toward bioavailability-based standards for metals such as copper and zinc not only improves the ecological relevance of the standard but also introduces significant complexity into assessing compliance. This ... -
The impact of tertiary wastewater treatment on copper and zinc complexation.
(England, 2015)Tightening quality standards for European waters has seen a move towards enhanced wastewater treatment technologies such as granulated organic carbon treatment and ozonation. Although these technologies are likely to be ... -
Spore release by the green alga Ulva: a quantitative assay to evaluate aquatic toxicants.
(England, 2008-06)A toxicity test using spore release of the aquatic green alga, Ulva, was developed and evaluated by assessing the toxicity of different organic and inorganic chemicals and elutriates of sewage or waste sludge. The toxic ... -
Uptake epithelia behave in a cell-centric and not systems homeostatic manner in response to zinc depletion and supplementation.
(England, 2014-01)Much remains to be understood about systemic regulation of zinc uptake in vertebrates, and adequate zinc status is far from always achieved in animals or human. In addition to absorbing zinc from the diet, fish are able ...
