Bacterioplankton community shifts during a spring bloom of Aphanizomenon gracil...
de Figueiredo, Daniela R. de; Lopes, Ana R.; Pereira, Mário J.; Polónia, Ana R. M.; Castro, Bruno B.; Gonçalves, Fernando; Gomes, Newton C. M.Climate change is enhancing the frequency of cyanobacterial blooms not only during summer but also in spring and autumn, leading to increased ecological impacts. The bacterioplankton community composition (BCC), in particular, is deeply affected by these blooms, although at the same time BCC can also play important roles in blooms’ dynamics. However, more information is still needed regarding BCC during species...

Differential effects of food restriction and warming in the two-spotted goby: i...
Lopes, Ana F.; Murdoch, Robyn; Martins-Cardoso, Sara; Madeira, Carolina; Costa, Pedro M.; Félix, Ana S.; Oliveira, Rui F.; Bandarra, Narcisa M.Climate change is a growing threat to marine organisms and ecosystems, and it is already modifying ocean properties by, for example, increasing temperature and decreasing pH. Increasing water temperature may also lead to an impairment of primary productivity and an overall depletion of available zooplankton. Understanding how the crossover between warming and zooplankton availability impacts fish populations ha...
Nanopharmaceuticals for eye administration: sterilization, depyrogenation and c...
Zielinska, Aleksandra; Soles, Beatriz B.; Lopes, Ana R.; Vaz, Beatriz F.; Rodrigues, Camila M.; Alves, Thais F. R.; Klensporf-Pawlik, DorotaAs an immune-privileged target organ, the eyes have important superficial and internal barriers, protecting them from physical and chemical damage from exogenous and/or endogenous origins that would cause injury to visual acuity or even vision loss. These anatomic, physiological and histologic barriers are thus a challenge for drug access and entry into the eye. Novel therapeutic concepts are highly desirable f...
Relationships among bulk soil physicochemical, biochemical, and microbiological...
Lopes, Ana R.; Bello, Diana; Prieto-Fernández, Ángeles; Trasar-Cepeda, Carmen; Manaia, Célia M.; Nunes, Olga C.The microbial communities of bulk soil of rice paddy fields under an ancient organic agriculture regimen, consisting on an alfalfa-rice rotation system, were characterized. The drained soil of two adjacent paddies at different stages of the rotation was compared before rice seeding and after harvesting. The relationships among the soil microbial, physicochemical, and biochemical parameters were investigated usi...
Responses of the alga Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata to long-term exposure to ...
Machado, Manuela D.; Lopes, Ana R.; Soares, Eduardo V.The green alga Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata has been widely used in ecological risk assessment, usually based on the impact of the toxicants in the alga growth. However, the physiological causes that lead algal growth inhibition are not completely understood. This work aimed to evaluate the biochemical and structural modifications in P. subcapitata after exposure, for 72 h, to three nominal concentrations of...

Bacterial community variations in an alfalfa-rice rotation system revealed by 1...
Lopes, Ana R.; Manaia, Célia M.; Nunes, Olga C.Crop rotation is a practice harmonized with the sustainable rice production. Nevertheless, the implications of this empirical practice are not well characterized, mainly in relation to the bacterial community composition and structure. In this study, the bacterial communities of two adjacent paddy fields in the 3rd and 4th year of the crop rotation cycle and of a nonseeded subplot were characterized before rice...
Microbial degradation of the herbicide molinate by defined cultures and in the ...
Nunes, Olga C.; Lopes, Ana R.; Manaia, Célia M.Molinate is a thiocarbamate herbicide used worldwide in rice crop protection. As with other pesticides, molinate is a recognized environmental pollutant, detected in soils, irrigation water, or rivers and bio-accumulated by some wildlife forms. For this reason, and in spite of its low toxicity to humans, environmental protection measures, which include reduction of use and/or remediation processes, are recommen...
