Metal selective pressure in the modulation of the microbial community in sedime...
Almeida, E.; Torre, R.; Godinho, O.; Noyer, M.; Cravo-Laureau, C.; Duran, R.; Antunes, S. C.; Catita, J.; Lage, O. M.Background: Microorganisms in sediments of estuarine ecosystems play key roles in the biogeochemical cycles [1]. These communities, essential for maintaining the ecosystems quality, are affected by natural and anthropogenic factors, such as metals, affecting the ecosystems health [2]. Objectives: This work aims to understand the effect/impact of metals on brackish sediment microbial community in a mesocosm expe...
Study of metal presence in the sediments of three different water bodies from t...
Torre, R.; Pinto, I.; Lage, O. M.; Noyer, M.; Almeida, E.; Cravo-Laureau, C.; Duran, R.; Antunes, S. C.; Catita, J.Background: Human impact on the planet’s biomes has been rapidly increasing over the last decades [1]. In aquatic ecosystems, an active monitoring of the water and the sediments quality is already essential to assure its suitability for human use as well as to guarantee the health of the ecosystems [2, 3]. Objectives: This work focuses on the study of metals concentration in transitional water bodies (Ave estua...
