Fate of enterotoxigenic Staphylococcus aureus and staphylococcal enterotoxins in Feta and Galotyri cheeses
(2012)In this study the fate of enterotoxigenic Staphylococcus aureus and staphylococcal enterotoxins in Feta and Galotyri cheeses were studied. Initially, the enterotoxigenic abilities of four Staph. aureus LHA, LHB, LHC and ... -
Genetic evidence for introgression between domestic pigs and wild boars (Sus scrofa) in Belgium and Luxembourg: a comparative approach with multiple marker systems
(2013)Hybridization between wild species and their domestic relatives can be an important conservation and management problem. Genetic purity of the wild species is desirable per se and the phenomenon can have unpredictable ... -
Genetic variation in Myzus persicae populations associated with host-plant and life cycle category
(2001)Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis was applied on 96 clones of Myzus persicae (Sulzer) (Homoptera: Aphididae) representing seven populations collected from different host-plants and regions of Greece. Ten ... -
Genotyping Plasmodium vivax isolates from the 2011 outbreak in Greece
(2013)Background: Plasmodium vivax malaria was common in Greece until the 1950s with epidemics involving thousands of cases every year. Greece was declared free of malaria by the World Health Organization in 1974. From 1974 to ... -
Gut bacteria associated with different diets in reared Nephrops norvegicus
(2012)The impact of different diets on the gut microbiota of reared Nephrops norvegicus was investigated based on bacterial 16S rRNA gene diversity. Specimens were collected from Pagasitikos Gulf (Greece) and kept in experimental ... -
Human impact on avian diversity in rural Mediterranean areas
(2015)Human activities influence the biodiversity of Mediterranean ecosystems and are involved in the transformation of natural habitats into farmland. We surveyed birds using the point count method on 288 plots at a 50-m radius ... -
Impact of a beneficial and of a pathogenic Fusarium strain on the fingerprinting-based structure of microbial communities in tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Milll.) rhizosphere
(2011)Fusarium solani strain FsK (FsK), isolated from a plant pathogen-suppressive compost, grows endophytically in tomato roots and controls infestations by Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. radicis-lycopersici (FORL). The effect of ... -
The Impact of Biofumigation and Chemical Fumigation Methods on the Structure and Function of the Soil Microbial Community
(2011)Biofumigation (BIOF) is carried out mainly by the incorporation of brassica plant parts into the soil, and this fumigation activity has been linked to their high glucosinolate (GSL) content GSLs are hydrolyzed by the ... -
THE IMPACT OF HUMAN LAND USE ON THE COMPOSITION AND RICHNESS OF GROUND AND DUNG BEETLE ASSEMBLAGES
(2014)This paper presents the results of a survey on the habitat and seasonal variation in activity density and richness of ground and dung beetle assemblages in a heterogeneous landscape of central Greece. Beetles were collected ... -
INTEGRATION OF IMMIGRANTS, BRIDGING SOCIAL CAPITAL, ETHNICITY, AND LOCALITY
(2015)This paper analyses a uniquely detailed data set of social integration characteristics of immigrants belonging to four non-native ethnic groups (i.e., Turks, Moroccans, Surinamese, and Antilleans) living in Dutch neighborhoods. ... -
Inter-comparison of the potentially active prokaryotic communities in the halocline sediments of Mediterranean deep-sea hypersaline basins
(2015)The sediment microbiota of the Mediterranean deep-sea anoxic hypersaline basins (DHABs) are understudied relative to communities in the brines and halocline waters. In this study, the active fraction of the prokaryotic ... -
Interconnectivity vs. isolation of prokaryotic communities in European deep-sea mud volcanoes
(2013)During the past two decades, European cold seep ecosystems have attracted the scientific interest and to date there are several studies which have investigated the community structure and biodiversity of individual sites. ... -
Inverse Gaussian Modeling of Turbulence-Induced Fading in Free-Space Optical Systems
(2011)We propose the inverse Gaussian distribution, as a less complex alternative to the classical log-normal model, to describe turbulence-induced fading in free-space optical (FSO) systems operating in weak turbulence conditions ... -
Isolation of soil bacteria able to hydrolyze both organophosphate and carbamate pesticides
(2011)Two bacteria identified as Pseudomonas putida and Acinetobacter rhizosphaerae able to rapidly degrade the organophosphate (OP) fenamiphos (FEN) were isolated. Denaturating gradient gel electrophoresis analysis revealed ... -
Key challenges for the creation and maintenance of specialist protein resources
(2015)As the volume of data relating to proteins increases, researchers rely more and more on the analysis of published data, thus increasing the importance of good access to these data that vary from the supplemental material ... -
Landraces versus commercial common bean cultivars under organic growing conditions: A comparative study based on agronomic performance and physicochemical traits
(2007)This study targeted to assess the yield components and physicochemical traits of eight common bean landraces versus four commercial cultivars widely grown in Greece. The genotypes were cultivated for two growing seasons ... -
Line selection for exploiting durum wheat (T-turgidum L. var. durum) local landraces in modern variety development program
(2005)Pure line selection for grain yield applied within four durum wheat local landraces (Triticum turgidum L. var durum) was studied in an effort to determine: (i) the agronomic performance of selected line mixtures (bulks) ... -
Local social engagement, satisfaction, and embeddedness in the Netherlands: which effects matter and for whom?
(2015)This paper examines to what extent, and for whom, different geographical characteristics affect the levels of local social engagement, satisfaction, and embeddedness in the Netherlands. We employ a uniquely detailed dataset ... -
Molecular detection of potentially toxic cyanobacteria and their associated bacteria in lake water column and sediment
(2010)We investigated the molecular diversity of cyanobacteria and bacteria during a water bloom in a lake with a long history of toxic cyanobacterial blooms (Lake Kastoria, Greece). We also tested the hypothesis whether ... -
Morphological and molecular analysis of bloom-forming Cyanobacteria in two eutrophic, shallow Mediterranean lakes
(2011)We investigated the diversity of Cyanobacteria by microscopic observation and sequencing of cyanobacterial-specific amplified 16S rRNA genes in the water column of two shallow, eutrophic lakes (Doirani and Kastoria, northern ...
