| potentially pathogenic vibrios associated with mussels from a tropical region on the atlantic coast of brazil. | mussels (perna perna) harvested on the coast of ubatuba, in three different stations in the state of são paulo, brazil, were examined for vibrio spp. over a 1 year period. the ranges of most probable number (mpn 100 g-1) were: vibrio alginolyticus (< 3-24,000), v. parahaemolyticus (< 3-24,000), v. fluvialis (< 3-1100), v. cholerae non-o1 (< 3-23), v. furnissii (< 3-30), v. mimicus (< 3-9) and v. vulnificus (< 3-3). the highest incidence was observed for v. alginolyticus (92-100%), followed by v. ... | 1994 | 7989253 |
| integrated assessment of multilevel biomarker responses and chemical analysis in mussels from são sebastião, são paulo, brazil. | the aim of the present study was to investigate the presence of contaminants in the mussel perna perna from são sebastião channel, são paulo, brazil, and to evaluate the effects of these contaminants on these organisms at biochemical (catalase [cat], glutathione-s-transferase [gst], and cholinesterase [che]), cellular (neutral red retention time [nrrt] assay), and physiological (cardiac monitoring) levels. two sampling surveys were performed (winter of 2001 and summer of 2002) at six stations al ... | 2007 | 17373509 |
