Project description:Chemical analysis of the compounds present in sediment, although informative, often is not indicative of the downstream biological effects that these contaminants exert on resident aquatic organisms. More direct molecular methods are needed to determine if marine life is affected by exposure to sediments. In this study, we used an aquatic multispecies microarray and q-PCR to investigate the effects on gene expression in juvenile sea bream (Sparus aurata) of two contaminated sediments defined as sediment 1 and 2 respectively, from marine areas in Northern Italy.
Project description:This study examined archaeal lipidome of a total of 52 sediment and soil samples across a wide range of environmental gradients, including sediment from hot springs in Tengchong, Yunan Province, sediment from acid mine drainages in Anhui and Guangdong provinces, permafrost soil from Tibet Plateau, soil from Western Sichuan Plateau, surface sediment of cold seeps and sediment core material from the South China Sea, and sediment from the East China Sea.
