The unhappy effects of the antidepressant fluoxetine on the freshwater microalg...
Machado, Manuela D.; Soares, Eduardo V.Pharmaceuticals can be found in the aquatic environment and cause unwanted effects on organisms. The present work aimed to characterize the toxic mode of action of the antidepressant fluoxetine (FLX) on the freshwater microalga Raphidocelis subcapitata. With this aim, the microalga was exposed to low levels (µg/L) of FLX for 72 h. Exposure to 2030 µg/L FLX arrested algal growth, which can be explained by the bl...
Characterization of copper toxicity mechanisms, at environmentally relevant con...
Machado, Manuela D.; Soares, Eduardo V.Aims: Evaluate the impact of Cu on the freshwater microalgae Raphidocelis subcapitata at sublethal and environmentally relevant concentrations | Assess Cu effects on microalgae growth, photosynthesis, and oxidative stress markers | Provide a mechanism of action (toxicity pathway) of Cu on R. subcapitata.
Alleviation of Fe-induced chlorosis of soybean plants grown in calcareous soil ...
Arcas, Alejandra; Sadeghi, S. Maryam; Lucena, Juan J.; Vindeirinho, João M.; Soares, Eduardo V.; Soares, Helena M. V. M.; López-Rayo, SandraThe concerns about the unsustainability of traditional synthetic Fe chelates lead to the search for new environmentally friendly alternatives, such as siderophores-based fertilizers. In this work, the focus was on the evaluation of a bio-based Fe-chelate fertilizer obtained from the culture of the siderophore-producer bacterium Rhizobium radiobacter. The suitability of a freeze-dried fertilizer formulated from ...

Soares, Eduardo V.; Petropoulos, Spyridon A.; Soares, Helena M. V. M.[editorial excerpt] The modern cropping industry has to address food security challenges related to the increasing world population, the pressure of climate change on crop production, and the adverse effects of anthropogenic activities on agro-ecosystems (Boix-Fayos and de Vente, 2023; Grigorieva et al., 2023). Therefore, various strategies have been suggested (e.g. Green Deal, Soil Deal, Farm to Fork, and Euro...
Features of the microalga Raphidocelis subcapitata: physiology and applications
Machado, Manuela D.; Soares, Eduardo V.The microalga Raphidocelis subcapitata was isolated from the Nitelva River (Norway) and subsequently deposited in the collection of the Norwegian Institute of Water Research as “Selenastrum capricornutum Printz”. This freshwater microalga, also known as Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata, acquired much of its notoriety due to its high sensitivity to different chemical species, which makes it recommended by differe...
Integration of copper toxicity mechanisms in raphidocelis subcapitata: Advancin...
Machado, Maria Manuela Dias; Soares, Eduardo V.his work aimed to characterize the impact of copper (Cu), at environmentally relevant concentrations, using the freshwater microalga Raphidocelis subcapitata. Algae were incubated with 33 or 53 µg/L Cu, in OECD medium, and toxic impacts were evaluated over 72 h, using different cellular and biochemical biomarkers. The exposure to 33 µg/L Cu had an algistatic effect: slowing growth and reducing algal population ...

Palmelloid-like phenotype in the alga Raphidocelis subcapitata exposed to pollu...
Machado, Manuela D.; Soares, Eduardo V.This work focuses on the formation of palmelloid-like phenotype in the freshwater alga Raphidocelis subcapitata (formerly known as Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata and Selenastrum capricornutum), when exposed to adverse conditions generated by the presence of organic [the antibiotic erythromycin (ERY) and the herbicide metolachlor (MET)] or inorganic [the heavy metals, cadmium (Cd) and zinc (Zn)] pollutants, at ...
