long-term toxicity of surface-charged polystyrene nanoplastics to marine planktonic species dunaliella tertiolecta and artemia franciscana.	plastic pollution has been globally recognized as a critical issue for marine ecosystems and nanoplastics constitute one of the last unexplored areas to understand the magnitude of this threat. however, current difficulties in sampling and identifying nano-sized debris make hard to assess their occurrence in marine environment. polystyrene nanoparticles (ps nps) are largely used as nanoplastics in ecotoxicological studies and although acute exposures have been already investigated, long-term tox ...	2017	28644993
effects of polystyrene microbeads in marine planktonic crustaceans.	plastic debris accumulates in the marine environment, fragmenting into microplastics (mp), causing concern about their potential toxic effects when ingested by marine organisms. the aim of this study was to verify whether 0.1µm polystyrene beads are likely to trigger lethal and sub-lethal responses in marine planktonic crustaceans. mp build-up, mortality, swimming speed alteration and enzyme activity (cholinesterases, catalase) were investigated in the larval stages of amphibalanus amphitrite ba ...	2017	28750293
[evaluation of the toxicity of basidiomycota fungi on the hatching of artemia franciscana cysts].	the consumption of wild mushrooms has increased in recent years. however, not all mushrooms are edible and some of them may cause poisoning. therefore, their toxicity needs to be studied. artemia franciscana is a crustacean used in toxicity tests including toxins of fungi.	2017	28830736
in vitro and in vivo exploration of palmitic acid from synechococcus elongatus as an antibiofilm agent on the survival of artemia franciscana against virulent vibrios.	biofilm formation of vibrio spp. has been demonstrated as a potentially important mechanism contributing antibiotic treatment failure in aquaculture. in the present study, the effect of palmitic acid (pa) identified from synechococcus elongatus was assessed for the inhibition of quorum sensing (qs) regulated biofilm formation in aquatic bacterial pathogens. the biofilm inhibitory concentration (bic) of pa against vibrio spp. was found to be 100µgml(-1). in this concentration, pa exhibited a sign ...	2017	28887169
