Establishing long-term microbiome-based monitoring programs is critical for managing and conserving wild fish populations in response to climate change. In most cases, these studies have been conducted on gut and, to a lesser extent, skin (mucus) microbiomes. Here, we exploited the concept of liquid biopsy to study the circulating bacterial microbiome of two Northern halibut species of economic and ecological importance.

Impacts of climate changes are particularly severe in polar regions where warmer temperatures and reductions in sea-ice covers threaten the ecological integrity of marine coastal ecosystems. Because of their wide distribution and their ecological importance, mussels are currently used as sentinel organisms in monitoring programs of coastal ecosystems around the world. In the present study, we exploited the concept of liquid biopsy combined to a logistically friendly sampling method to study the hemolymphatic bacterial microbiome in two mussel species (Aulacomya atra and Mytilus platensis) in Kerguelen Islands, a remote Subantarctic volcanic archipelago.

Pregnancy is a complex process requiring tremendous physiological changes in the mother in order to fulfill the needs of the growing fetus, and to give birth, expel the placenta and nurse the newborn. These physiological modifications are accompanied with psychological changes, as well as with variations in habits and behaviors. As a result, this period of life is considered as a sensitive window as impaired functional and physiological changes in the mother can have short- and long-term impacts on her health.

We demonstrate the rapid and highly sensitive detection of a small molecule, microcystin-LR (MC-LR) toxin using an aptasensor based on a terahertz (THz) emission technique named the terahertz chemical microscope (TCM). The main component of the TCM is the sensing plate, which consists of a thin silicon layer deposited on a sapphire substrate, with a natural SiO layer formed on the top of the Si layer. The DNA aptamer is linked to the oxidized top surface of the silicon layer by a one-step reaction (click chemistry) between the DBCO-labeled aptamer and an azido group that binds to the surface.
