Revisión del zooplancton de la costa vasca: actualización taxonómica e identificación de deficiencias

[ES] Trabajo de revisión de la literatura existente hasta el presente sobre el zooplancton marino y de estuarios de la costa vasca con el fin de describir su biodoversidad en nuestro entorno marino-costero a partir de la información existente, atualizar su nomemclatura e identificar las principales lagunas de conocimiento sobre su composición taxonómica. Con ello se pretende contribuir a mejorar nuentro conocimiento de su biodiversidad actual y marvar las pautas de futuros estudios sobre zooplancton en la costa vasca.

PGPRs and nitrogen-fixing legumes: a perfect team for efficient Cd phytoremediation?

Cadmium (Cd) is a toxic, biologically non-essential and highly mobile metal that has become an increasingly important environmental hazard to both wildlife and humans. In contrast to conventional remediation technologies, phytoremediation based on legume rhizobia symbiosis has emerged as an inexpensive decontamination alternative which also revitalize contaminated soils due to the role of legumes in nitrogen cycling. In recent years, there is a growing interest in understanding symbiotic legume rhizobia relationship and its interactions with Cd. The aim of the present review is to provide a comprehensive picture of the main effects of Cd in N-2-fixing leguminous plants and the benefits of exploiting this symbiosis together with plant growth promoting rhizobacteria to boost an efficient reclamation of Cd-contaminated soils.
