Comparison of two methods for estimating energy storage efficiency in phytoplankton photosynthesis
The energy storage efficiency of photosynthesis is a sensitive diagnostic tool for probing the physiological status of phytoplankton in the laboratory and in nature. Furthermore, it is also a key factor in determining the economics of photobioreactors and algal mass culture ponds for the production of biodiesel and related applications. Photoacoustics allows direct determination of the energy storage...

Polychlorinated biphenyls and chlorinated pesticides in the mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis sampled along the Moroccan Atlantic Coast
The mussel samples (Mytilus galloprovincialis) were collected from 13 sites along 2,000 km of the Moroccan Atlantic coast. Specimens were collected in the wet seasons (winter) of 2003, 2004 and 2007, and in the dry seasons (spring and summer) of 2003, 2005, 2006 and 2007. Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), DDT and its derivatives, aldrin, heptachlor and hexachlorobenzene (HCB), were quantified in the...
