CHARACTERIZATION OF THE SPOILAGE MICROBIOTA OF HAKE FILLETS PACKAGED UNDER A MODIFIED ATMOSPHERE (MAP) RICH IN CO2 (50% CO2/50% N2) AND STORED AT DIFFERENT TEMPERATURES

Characterization of the Spoilage Microbiota of Hake Fillets Packaged Under a Modified Atmosphere (MAP) Rich in CO2 (50% CO2/50% N2) and Stored at Different Temperatures

The aim of this study was to characterize the spoilage microbiota of hake fillets stored under modified atmospheres (MAP) (50% CO2/50% N2) at different temperatures using high-throughput 16S rRNA gene sequencing and to compare the results with those obtained using traditional microbiology techniques.The results obtained indicate that, as expected,

Polymer-Mediated Delivery of siRNAs to Hepatocellular Carcinoma: Variables Affecting Specificity and Effectiveness

Despite the advances in anticancer therapies, their effectiveness for many human tumors is still far from being optimal.Significant improvements in treatment efficacy can come from the enhancement of Accessory drug specificity.This goal may be achieved by combining the use of therapeutic molecules with tumor specific effects and delivery carriers w

Ecological reef restoration: consumptive and nonconsumptive interactions among common North Sea predators and European oysters

Oyster reefs are biodiversity hotspots with multiple ecosystem functions and services that are declining worldwide.Historic populations of European oysters (Ostrea edulis) have been decimated by overfishing and are nowadays considered functionally extinct in European waters.To halt and reverse the associated biodiversity loss, oyster reef restorati

Assessing Legacy Effects of Wildfires on the Crown Structure of Fire-Tolerant Eucalypt Trees Using Airborne LiDAR Data

The fire-tolerant eucalypt forests of south eastern Australia are assumed to fully recover from even the most intense fires; however, surprisingly, very few studies have quantitatively assessed that recovery.The accurate assessment of horizontal and vertical attributes of tree crowns after fire is essential to understand the fire’s legacy eff
