Surfactant bioconcentration : a critical review
TL;DR: Tissue specific data demonstrated that elimination via the gall bladder is an important excretion route and environmental variables appeared to influence bioconcentration of ionic surfactants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sponge `sentinel' of heavy metals
B. Patel,M.C. Balani,S. Patel +2 more
TL;DR: A 'sponge watch programme' is proposed on a global scale for monitoring the health of coastal ecosystems against a variety of potentially toxic pollutants because of the high degree of species specificity which sponges exhibit while accumulating many trace metal ions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessing consequences of marine pollution by hydrocarbons using sponges as model organisms
Rudolf K. Zahn,Gertrud Zahn,W. E. G. Müller,Branko Kurelec,Marija Rijavec,Renato Batel,R. Given +6 more
TL;DR: The question of possible absence of DNA repair in the sponges and some implications are discussed, including the possibility that fish that had been exposed to high level polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) pollution are added, dark incorporation rises to significant levels which can be decreased by the MFO inhibitor 7,8-benzoflavone (BP).

Immediate early response of the marine sponge Suberites domuncula to heat stress: reduction of trehalose and glutathione concentrations and glutathione S-transferase activity
Nilza Bachinski,Nilza Bachinski,Claudia Koziol,Renato Batel,Zeljka Labura,Heinz C. Schröder,Werner E.G. Müller +6 more
TL;DR: Data show that in S. domuncula the concentrations of trehalose, GSH, and the activity of GST, are biomarkers for immediate early response towards heat stress.

Environmental impacts of increasing leisure boating activity in Mediterranean coastal waters
Arnau Carreño,Josep Lloret +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a review of the ecological impacts of recreational boating in the Mediterranean Sea and highlight the need for a holistic approach involving marine scientists and engineers, policy makers, and the boating industry.

Protein Measurement with the Folin Phenol Reagent
TL;DR: Procedures are described for measuring protein in solution or after precipitation with acids or other agents, and for the determination of as little as 0.2 gamma of protein.
Journal ArticleDOI
Determination of serum proteins by means of the biuret reaction.
TL;DR: An investigation of the biochemical changes following experimental liver injury felt the need of a simple, rapid, and accurate method for determining the protein fractions in small amounts of serum and began with Kingsley’s biuret procedure.

Fluorescamine: A Reagent for Assay of Amino Acids, Peptides, Proteins, and Primary Amines in the Picomole Range
Sidney Udenfriend,Stanley Stein,Peter Böhlen,Wallace Dairman,Willy Leimgruber,Manfred Weigele +5 more
TL;DR: Fluorescamine is a new reagent for the detection of primary amines in the picomole range that is almost instantaneous at room temperature in aqueous media and the products are highly fluorescent, whereas the reagent and its degradation products are nonfluorescent.

The role of polyamines in the neutralization of bacteriophage deoxyribonucleic acid.
Bruce N. Ames,Donald T. Dubin +1 more
TL;DR: The cations of T4 phage have been examined and a balance has been obtained between total cations and total DNA anions and the replacement of the normal polyamines suggested that the polyamines may be acting as nonspecific cations.
