How Did Red Algae Survive in Extreme Environments?

October 29, 2020 sarah Jonas Algae, anti-inflammatory, Antioxidants, Aquatic, Arsenic, Bacteria, Biofuels, Carbohydrates, Carbon Dioxide, Drought, Earth, Environment, environmental cleanups, extreme environments, genes, genetic, Genome, Germany, Glucose, Glycogen, Heavy Metals, Horizontal gene transfer, Hot Springs, Joint Genome Institute, Mercury, NASA, Oxygen, Photosynthesis, plants, proteins, red algae, South Korea, Sugar, Toxic, water, Yellowstone National Park

Red algae have persisted in hot springs and surrounding rocks for about 1 billion years. Now, a Rutgers-led team will investigate why these single-celled extremists have thrived in harsh environments – research that could benefit environmental cleanups and the production of biofuels and other products.

Natural organic matter influences arsenic release into groundwater

March 11, 2020 sarah Jonas Arsenic, microbes

Microbes in groundwater release arsenic from sediments, and organic matter helps fuel this reaction. Now, researchers reporting in ACS’ Environmental Science & Technology have discovered that the type of natural organic matter (NOM) influences the rate and level of arsenic release.

Natural Toxins in the Global Food Supply Continue to Threaten the Health of Underprivileged Communities

December 9, 2019 sarah Jonas 0 Comments Arsenic, cardiovascuar disease, Immune, lead, Liver Cancer, Neurological Disease, risk, Risk Analysis, Vaccine

Naturally occurring chemicals in the global food supply are known to pose a burden on worldwide health. New studies have found that a certain foodborne toxin, in addition to its known health effects,, is also linked to vaccine resistance, and for the first time the global burden of disease from foodborne arsenic, lead, cadmium, and methyl mercury has been quantified.. The Society for Risk Analysis (SRA) will present new studies as part of its Global Disease Burden Caused by Foodborne Chemicals and Toxins symposium on Monday, Dec. 9 from 1:30-3:00 p.m. as part of its 2019 Annual Meeting at the Crystal Gateway Marriott in Arlington, Virginia. This symposium will provide updates to a 2015 World Health Organization (WHO) publication which analyzed the disease burdens caused by these toxins.
