Marano, Roberto B. M.; Fernandes, Telma; Manaia, Célia M.; Nunes, Olga; Morrison, Donald; Berendonk, Thomas U.; Kreuzinger, Norbert; Tenson, TanelThe World Health Organization Global Action Plan recommends integrated surveillance programs as crucial strategies for monitoring antibiotic resistance. Although several national surveillance programs are in place for clinical and veterinary settings, no such schemes exist for monitoring antibiotic-resistant bacteria in the environment. In this transnational study, we developed, validated, and tested a low-cost...

Potential impacts of lanthanum and yttrium on embryotoxicity assays with Crasso...
Moreira, Anthony; Henriques, Bruno; Leite, Carla; Libralato, Giovanni; Pereira, Eduarda; Freitas, RosaIn the last decades, the production of electronic devices, which relies on rare earth elements (REE) such as yttrium (Y) and lanthanum (La), has increased exponentially, a pattern that should continue in the future. Besides the lack of raw materials, the growing generation of electronic waste (E-waste) and the REEs direct or indirect discharge into the environment raises worldwide concern. Mostly, given the sca...
Combined effects of arsenic, salinity and temperature on Crassostrea gigas embr...
Moreira, Anthony; Freitas, Rosa; Figueira, Etelvina; Amadeu M. V. M. Soares; Ghirardini, Annamaria Volpi; Radaelli, Marta; Guida, MarcoThe combined effects of different salinity and temperature levels on the toxicity of Arsenic (As) were studied on the embryonic development of the oyster Crassostrea gigas. A standardized embryotoxicity test was performed to assess the interactive effects of these stressors, in a full factorial design experiment including a range of salinities (15, 19, 24, 28 and 32), temperatures (16, 20, 24, 28 and 32 °C) and...
