Abstract: Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) is being grown in harsh environment in Iraq and is mostly subjected to abiotic stresses such as drought, salinity, pH and temperature. Both alfalfa and its nitrogen fixing symbiotic bacteria Sinorhizobium meliloti are affected by these environmental stresses. Enhancing nitrogen fixation biologically could be achieved through selection of tolerant strains of S. meliloti to these environmental stresses and inoculating them to the crop, also growing tolerant cultivars. This study examines phenotypic diversity for tolerance to drought, salinity, temperature and pH. Sixty isolates sampled from different areas of Iraq. The results revealed high degree of phenotypic diversity in Sinorhizobium populations. Furthermore, the isolates which showed tolerance to drought stress also showed tolerance to salinity and high degree of temperature, indicating direct relationship between three physiological path ways. Also 58.3% of drought tolerant isolates were alkaline tolerant they tolerated up to pH 9, point to say almost all drought tolerant isolates in this study illustrated strong + positive reaction to catalase enzyme. And 91.6% themes were negative for Gelatinase enzyme test. While only 50% of drought sensitive isolates were negative for drought sensitive isolates could grow at high temperature (42 °C).

    Alma Mater Studiorum – Università di Bologna DOTTORATO DI RICERCA IN BIODIVERSITA’ ED EVOLUZIONE Ciclo XXIII Settore scientifico-disciplinare di afferenza: BIO/05 ZOOLOGIA MOLLUSCS OF THE MARINE PROTECTED AREA “SECCHE DI TOR PATERNO” Presentata da: Dott. Paolo Giulio Albano Coordinatore Dottorato Relatore Prof.ssa Barbara Mantovani Prof. Francesco Zaccanti Co-relatore Prof. Bruno Sabelli Esame finale anno 2011 to Ilaria and Chiara, my daughters This PhD thesis is the completion of a long path from childhood amateur conchology to scientific research. Many people were involved in this journey, but key characters are three. Luca Marini, director of “Secche di Tor Paterno” Marine Protected Area, shared the project idea of field research on molluscs and trusted me in accomplishing the task. Without his active support in finding funds for the field activities this project would have not started. It is no exaggeration saying I would not have even thought of entering the PhD without him. Bruno Sabelli, my PhD advisor, is another person who trusted me above reasonable expectations. Witness of my childhood love for shells, he has become witness of my metamorphosis to a researcher. Last, but not least, Manuela, my wife, shared my objectives and supported me every single day despite the family challenges we had to face. Many more people helped profusely. I sincerely hope not to forget anyone. Marco Oliverio, Sabrina Macchioni, Letizia Argenti and Roberto Maltini were great SCUBA diving buddies during field activities. Betulla Morello, former researcher at ISMAR-CNR in Ancona, was my guide through the previously unexplored land of non-parametric multivariate statistics.

    Manousis and Galinou-Mitsoudi Journal of Biological Research-Thessaloniki 2014, 21:20 http://www.jbiolres.com/content/21/1/20 RESEARCH Open Access New gastropod records for the Eastern Mediterranean Sea and one new alien (Emarginula decorata Deshayes, 1863) for the Mediterranean Sea from NW Aegean Sea, Greece Thanasis Manousis1† and Sofia Galinou-Mitsoudi2*† Abstract Background: The NW Aegean Sea has a complex topography, high quality waters, oligotrophic to eutrophic conditions, is connected with estuaries and wetlands, is of high ecological interest, harbours all the types of human activities and yet few researchers work on its marine biodiversity. With this study, the contribution to the knowledge of the Hellenic and Eastern Mediterranean gastropod biodiversity of the studied families is continued, and an expansion of the search in other substrates and deeper waters of the NW Aegean Sea with emphasis on the minor in size species during the period from October 2008 to January 2014. Results: Thirty seven species belonging to seven families (Cerithiopsidae, Fissurellidae, Phasianellidae, Scissurellidae, Siliquariidae, Skeneidae, and Triphoridae) were identified and their biodiversity was compared with the current checklists of marine gastropod molluscs for the Hellenic Seas based on previous surveys. In this collection of gastropods, one species (Emarginula decorata Deshayes, 1863) is a new alien for the Mediterranean Sea, 14 species are new for the Eastern Mediterranean Sea and 16 species are new for the Hellenic fauna (with the one above mentioned alien species included). The main identification characteristics and ecological information such as habitat, distribution, alien expansion paths to the NW Aegean Sea and origin of the species are given and discussed.

The compilation of the available references revealed a total of 1065 species belonging to 7 classes (Caudofoveata, Solenogastres, Polyplacophora, Gastropoda, Bivalvia, Scaphopoda, and Cephalopoda). Most of the reported species belong to the class Gastropoda (706 species), followed by Bivalvia (279 species), Cephalopoda (50 species), Polyplacophora (17 species), Scaphopoda (10 species), Caudofoveata (2 species), and Solenogastres (1 species). Among the coasts of Turkey, the highest number of molluscan species was recorded from the Aegean Sea (825 species), followed by the Levantine Sea (807 species), Sea of Marmara (537 species), and the Black Sea (155 species). Of the 1065 mollusc taxa, 118 species are alien ones that originated outside the Mediterranean Sea. Among the listed species, Timoclea roemeriana (Bivalvia), and Sepiola ligulata and Abraliopsis morisii (both from Cephalopoda) are new records for the Turkish mollusc fauna, 11 species of the classes Polyplacophora, Gastropoda, and Bivalvia (Leptochiton boettgeri, Cerithium protractum, Similiphora similior, Cerithiopsis diadema, Rissoa guerinii, Crepidula moulinsii, Crepidula unguiformis, Bela zenetouae, Doto coronata, Lima marioni, and Limaria loscombi) are new reports for the Levantine coast of Turkey, and 2 gastropod species (Acirsa subdecussata and Monotygma lauta) are new reports for the Aegean coast of Turkey.

    Dati Sulla Malacofauna Marina Del Salento Ionico (Puglia)

    Boll. Malacol., 44 (9-12): 145-161 (2008) Dati sulla malacofauna marina del Salento Ionico (Puglia). Parte 1. Archaeogastropoda Marco Portalatina Via Consalvo di Cordova Riassunto n.1/b, Gallipoli (LE), Italia, Viene riportato un elenco di 73 specie di Archaeogastropoda presenti nelle acque del Salento ionico (Pu- [email protected] glia meridionale), con osservazioni sulla distribuzione geografica e sugli ambienti di vita. Vengono eviden- ziati i ritrovamenti più significativi ed ampliati al Mar Ionio gli areali di diffusione di Emarginula tuberculosa (Libassi,1859), Gibbula vimontiae (Monterosato, 1884) e Calliostoma gualterianum (Philippi, 1848). Ven- gono discusse le diverse forme di Emarginula huzardii Payraudeau, 1826, E. fissura (Linné, 1758) e Jujubi- nus exasperatus (Pennant, 1777), e valutate le possibili implicazioni tassonomiche. Vengono forniti dati sull’ecologia di Sinezona cingulata (Costa O.G., 1861), Emarginula tenera (Locard,1892), E. sicula (Gray, 1825), E. fissura (Linné, 1758), e sulla morfologia conchigliare di Osilinus articulatus (Lamarck, 1822), Cal- liostoma dubium (Philippi, 1844) e C. gualterianum (Philippi, 1848). Abstract This paper deals with the Archaeogastropoda occurring in the Ionic waters of Salento (Southern Apulia), with remarks on their geographic distribution and habitats. The check-list includes 73 species. The geo- graphic ranges of Emarginula tuberculosa Libassi, 1859, Gibbula vimontiae (Monterosato, 1884) and Cal- liostoma gualterianum (Philippi, 1848) are extended to the Ionian Sea. The forms of Emarginula huzardii Payraudeau, 1826, E. fissura (Linné, 1758) and Jujubinus exasperatus (Pennant, 1777) are discussed, with comments on their taxonomic implications. Observations are made on the ecology of Sinezona cingulata (Costa O. G., 1861), Emarginula tenera Locard, 1892, E.
