• Vomiting, diarrhoea and cold pain after eating fish

  As a rule, the first symptoms experienced are nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea. Most people suffering from ciguatoxin poisoning later also suffer from extremely unpleasant sensations such as burning, tingling, and pain on contact with cold. These symptoms can continue for weeks or even months. If such more

• Marine compound discovery shows promise of improved drug treatment for COPD patients

  Pharmacy researchers at the University of Florida have isolated a new marine compound they believe may lead to improved drug therapies for pulmonary diseases by inhibiting their progression rather than managing their symptoms. Known as symplostatin 5, the compound was extracted from blue-green algae more

• Wood on the seafloor - an oasis for deep-sea life
  

  Trees do not grow in the deep sea, nevertheless sunken pieces of wood can develop into oases for deep-sea life - at least temporarily until the wood is fully degraded. A team of Max Planck researchers from Germany now showed how sunken wood can develop into attractive habitats for a variety of micro more

• New Products for Cell Culture Analysis from Roche Innovatis
  

  The Roche Innovats product line is now available from Roche Applied Sciences. Below is a short introduction to three Roche Innovatis product lines designed for the complete analysis of cell cultures, from the simple determination of cell concentration to complex cellular screening. More information about Roche Innovatis products will appear in future issues of Biochemica more

• How physics discovered TOC
  

  The determination of algal biomass using TOC is a new method that has proven to be highly suitable in a laboratory environment for the measurement of biomass yield in photobioreactors and for the monitoring of algal growth. In combination with other sensors, additional information on the condition of the algae can be obtained. In addition, this method can be easily modified and applied for the investigation of (micro)algal pollution in lake water more

• Sum parameters "on trail"
  

  Identification of organic pollutants in wastewater is essential for performance evaluation, construction and operation of a wastewater treatment plant. Several parameters are currently used in wastewater analysis applications. The advantages of TOC analyses are apparent especially during continuous monitoring more

• Marine Drugs, Vol. 11, Pages 1506-1523: Photoprotective Bioactivity Present in a Unique Marine Bacteria Collection from Portuguese Deep Sea Hydrothermal Vents

  Interesting biological activities have been found for numerous marine compounds. In fact, screening of phylogenetically diverse marine microorganisms from extreme environments revealed to be a rational approach for the discovery of novel molecules with relevant bioactivities for industries such as p more

• Phytochrome Cytoplasmic Signaling

  Extensive studies in both lower and higher plants indicate that plant phytochrome photoreceptors signal not only by regulating transcription in the nucleus but also by acting within the cytoplasm, the latter signaling routes acting within minutes or even seconds and also providing directional inform more

• The Evolution of Male–Female Sexual Dimorphism Predates the Gender-Based Divergence of the Mating Locus Gene MAT3/RB

  The molecular bases for the evolution of male–female sexual dimorphism are possible to study in volvocine algae because they encompass the entire range of reproductive morphologies from isogamy to oogamy. In 1978, Charlesworth suggested the model of a gamete size gene becoming linked to the sex-det more
