The application of chemical dispersants during marine oil spills can affect the community composition and activity of native marine microorganisms. Several studies have indicated that certain marine hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria, such as Marinobacter spp., can be inhibited by chemical dispersants, ...
Traditional biomarkers for hydrocarbon exposure are not induced by all petroleum substances. The objective of this study was to determine if exposure to a crude oil and different refined oils would generate a common hydrocarbon-specific response in gene expression profiles that could be used as gene...
Gut microbiota changes during acute exposure to light petroleum water-accommodated fraction (WAF) and chemically enhanced water-accommodated fraction (CEWAF) on adult zebrafish
The Fragile X Mental Retardation-Related 1 gene (FXR1) belongs to the Fragile X Related gene family, together with FMR1 and FXR2. While inactivation of FMR1 causes Fragile X syndrome, the most common form of inherited mental retardation, inactivation of FXR1 in various animal models suggest a critic...
Polar cod (Boreogadus saida), a key arctic fish species spawning during the polar night, may be at risk for crude oil exposure during this potential sensitive life stage. This study investigates the effects of crude oil exposure on Polar cod during spawning season. Wild-caught polar cod were exposed...
Gill and liver transcriptomic responses of Achirus lineatus (Neopterygii:Achiridae) exposed to water accommodated fraction (WAF) of light crude oil reveal an onset of hypoxia-like condition
Alterations in the gut microbiota composition of the lined sole fish (Achiruslineatus), after chronic exposure to water accommodated fraction (WAF) of light crude oil. Raw sequence reads
The Fragile X Mental Retardation-Related 1 gene (FXR1) belongs to the Fragile X Related gene family, together with FMR1 and FXR2. While inactivation of FMR1 causes Fragile X syndrome, the most common form of inherited mental retardation, inactivation of FXR1 in various animal models suggest a critic...
