This review provides an in-depth survey of the recorded incidences in aquatic organisms of
mortality and disease events suspected or known to be caused by microalgal or ciliate …

Heavy metals, depending on their oxidation states, can be highly reactive and, as a
consequence, toxic to most organisms. They are produced by an expanding variety of …

Environmental pollution by organic compounds and metals became extensive as mining
and industrial activities increased in the 19th century and have intensified since then …

This is a presentation on the current status of antioxidant research in the field of algology.
The imposition of oxidative stresses by various environmental factors leads to the production …

Biofilms can be regarded as early warning systems for detection of the effects of toxicants on
aquatic systems, because they have been successfully used for detection of other …

Determining optimum stocking density of the white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei (Boone) is
a big concern for shrimp farmers. However, few studies have assessed the influence of …

Superoxide dismutases (SOD) catalyze the disproportionation of the potentially destructive
superoxide anion radical (O2•−, a byproduct of aerobic metabolism) to molecular oxygen …

To investigate adaptive responses to metal stress at the subcellular level, the oxidative
balance in isolated chloroplasts was evaluated for the first time in the unicellular alga …

Previous studies from this laboratory have demonstrated the presence of oxidative stress
and its role in the pathogenesis of lead-induced hypertension. This study was designed to …
