Degradation of Plant Lignin by Pseudomonas sp. Strain YS-1p And Phanerochaete chrysosposium RP-78 Co-Cultures
(2016-12-01)
Delignification is a critical step in the bioconversion of lignocellulosic biomass into useful monomers. Fungi and bacteria both have evolved pathways to degrade lignin and are known to play active roles in decomposition ...
Sandbur Seed Ecology and Control in Bermudagrass Turf and Pastures
(2016-07-01)
The conservation of an endangered species often requires knowledge of not only the causes of the decline, but also the current distribution and habitat requirements of the species. In Nebraska, the American burying beetle, ...
Parasite Community Structure and Reproductive Strategies of Gyrinicola Batrachiensis in Tadpole Stages of Anurans from North Central Oklahoma
(2016-12-01)
Amphibians are commonly infected with parasites. As a result, they have been used as model systems to investigate parasite community structure in vertebrate hosts. Multiple factors have been identified to influence amphibian ...
