Abstract Although it is well known suitability of early developmental stages of sea urchin as recommended model for pollutant toxicity testing, little is known about the sensitivity of Indo-Pacific species Echinometra mathaei to polyunsaturated aldehydes. In this study, the effect of three short chain aldehydes, 2,4-decadienal (DD), 2,4-octadienal (OD) and 2,4-heptadienal (HD), normally found in many diatoms, such as Skeletonema costatum, Skeletonema marinoi and Thalassiosira rotula, was…

Multiple Roles of Diatom-Derived Oxylipins within Marine Environments and Their Potential Biotechnological Applications

Recent findings in the chemical ecology of marine diatoms obtained in the last decade are focused on, investigating the role of diatom oxylipins in cell-to-cell communication and their negative impact on marine biota.

Sea Urchin Bioassays inToxicity Testing: I. Inorganics,Organics, Complex Mixturesand Natural Products

The results provide support for common endpoints used when evaluating adverse effects on sea urchin early life stages, including frequency of developmental defects and/or cytogenetic abnormalities, changes in sperm fertilization success and offspring damage, and other endpoints related to redox alterations, DNA damage and other molecular biomarkers.

Unlocking the Health Potential of Microalgae as Sustainable Sources of Bioactive Compounds

The current knowledge on the chemical characteristics, biological activities, mechanism of action, and the enzymes involved in the synthesis of microalgal metabolites with potential benefits for human health are reviewed.

Are volatile unsaturated aldehydes from diatoms the main line of chemical defence against copepods

The results demonstrate that only certain diatoms inhibit hatching in copepods and that this effect is independent of the EPA content of the diet, which is currently under discussion for its metabolic value and defensive potential.

Chemical interactions in diatoms: role of polyunsaturated aldehydes and precursors.

An overview of various results obtained in the last decade that could help to understand the role of polyunsaturated aldehydes and their precursors in the ecology of diatoms is presented, focused on the dichotomy between freshwater and marine environments.

Dynamics of Dissolved and Particulate Polyunsaturated Aldehydes in Mesocosms Inoculated with Different Densities of the Diatom Skeletonema marinoi

Particulate decadienal levels were often even higher than those of diatom-derived PUA, indicating that PUA sources other than diatoms should be considered when it comes to the evaluation of the impact of these metabolites.

Survey of the Chemical Defence Potential of Diatoms: Screening of Fifty Species for α,β,γ,δ-unsaturated aldehydes

This work examined the PUA-production of 50 diatom species (71 isolates) in order to provide a basis for the interpretation of laboratory and field results on the influence of diatom food on the reproductive success of their consumers.

Arsenic Exposure Affects Embryo Development of Sea Urchin, Paracentrotus lividus (Lamarck, 1816)

The 8 cell stage was the most sensitive to arsenic; at a concentration of 50 μg L−1 DMA proved to be more toxic than AsV, resulting in nearly 50 % of normal-shaped plutei against the 74 % recorded for AsV.

LOX‐Induced Lipid Peroxidation Mechanism Responsible for the Detrimental Effect of Marine Diatoms on Zooplankton Grazers

It is shown that copepod dysfunctions can be induced by highly reactive oxygen species (hROS) and a blended mixture of diatom products, including fatty acid hydroperoxides (FAHs); these compounds display teratogenic and proapoptotic properties.
