Research Interest

Dr. Gabriella Caruso is author of more than 180 scientific contributions including articles published on Journals, presented to scientific Conferences or Technical Reports. In the field of marine microbiology and environmental sciences her interests are: marine microbial ecology, qualitative and quantitative study of microbial communities in seawater and sediment of marine and freshwater environments; seawater pollution monitoring; bacterial pathogens (Escherichia coli, Vibrio cholerae, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Salmonella spp.), search of new rapid methodologies for bacterial identification and enumeration (fluorescent antibody method and enzymatic assays); microbial loop; study of microbial ectoenzymes involved in biogeochemical cycles. In the field of aquaculture, the main study topics include: fish digestive enzymes, assessment of environmental impact of aquaculture, non-specific immune response of fish (lysozyme, hemolysins, hemagglutinins) and its relationship with induced stress conditions, microbiological quality of seafood products (fish and molluscs).
