Allelopathic effects of Polygonum aviculare L.
(1981)
Therefore, allelopathy appeared to be the dominant component of the interference, with competition probably accentuating its effects. Polygonum aviculare was inhibitory to Gossypium barbadense L. and Sorghum bicolor (L.) ...
RESPONSES OF COMMUNITY STRUCTURE AND ECOSYSTEM FUNCTIONING TO CLIMATE CHANGE – META-ANALYSIS, MODELING, EXPERIMENTAL STUDY AND DATA-MODEL FUSION
(2015)
Observations, experimental studies and modeling endeavors all show that global climate change, mainly increased surface air temperature and associated change in precipitation regime, has caused impacts on plant community ...
Responses of soil respiration and ecosystem productivity to climate change in southern Great Plains.
(2007)
The third is to investigate the role of precipitation on ecosystem carbon processes (i.e., biomass, litterfall, and soil respiration) along a natural precipitation gradient in southern Great Plains. Our results show that ...
Enzymes involved in energy conservation via substrate-level phosphorylation in the syntrophic benzoate degrader, Syntrophus aciditrophicus
(2014-05)
Syntrophus aciditrophicus (SB) degrades benzoate, cyclohexane-1-carboxylate and certain fatty acids in syntrophic association with hydrogen/formate-using microorganisms and ferments crotonate in pure culture. ATP formation ...
Microbial biosurfactant production: The effect of the Bacillus strain JF-2 biosurfactant on anaerobic hydrocarbon degradation, and the presence of indigenous biosurfactant-producing bacteria in soils.
(2005)
A series of experiments was designed utilizing the biosurfactant produced by Bacillus JF2. Specifically, these experiments were designed to determine if the presence of various levels of pre-purified JF2 biosurfactant would ...
Polyphasic Taxonomy: A Tool to Identify and Characterize Members of Complex Microbial Communities
(2014-12)
Systematics is a fundamental discipline that underpins the science of microbiology, providing a framework that allows for the identification, classification, taxonomy, and nomenclature of single cell organisms. Since the ...
Microbial treatability of aqueous film forming foam (AFFF) with a chemostat and a rotating biological contactor.
(1982)
AFFF proved nontoxic to sewage-type microorganisms within the RBC. However, an organic load of 11.8 kg m('-3) d('-1) resulted in a decrease in dissolved oxygen, thus enriching for "bulking-type" organisms within the first ...
Investigations of interspecies transfer mechanisms important to syntrophic metabolism
(2011)
Syntrophy is a tightly coupled mutualistic interaction among microorganisms that is essential for the global cycling of carbon in essentially all anaerobic environments. Syntrophic degradation of aromatic, alicyclic and ...
Isolation and characterization of small naturally occurring plasmids from Desulfovibrio spp.
(2007)
These results suggest that these strains have different genomic organization. The presence of plasmid DNA was only detected in Desulfovibrio SR-1. On the basis of distinct phenotypic and genotypic characteristics, strain ...
The role of vegetation in the phytoremediation and ecological recovery of hazardous waste sites.
(2000)
The growth of plant roots in contaminated soils is of paramount importance to the success of phytoremediation. Field observations, coupled with chemical analysis, indicated that the presence of plant roots growing in the ...
