THE IMPACTS CLIMATE VARIABILITY AND ANTHROPOGENIC ACTIVITY ON TERRESTRIAL ECOSYSTEM CARBON CYCLING
(2019-12)
There is a near consensus among climate scientists that global temperatures are rising, climate variability will increase, and climate extremes will become more extreme. What is debated, however, is how terrestrial ecosystems ...
MULTI-SCALE REMOTE SENSING OF OPEN SURFACE WATER BODY AREA AND QUALITY
(2019-05-10)
Water is one of the most important resources for life. Climate change and climate variability have caused dramatic variations and significant trends in surface water resources, while global population growth and increased ...
AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE DISTRIBUTION OF MYXOBACTERIA, THE EFFECT OF PREDATOR-PREY INTERACTIONS ON SECONDARY METABOLITE EXPRESSION, AND DRIVERS OF MICROBIAL COMMUNITY ASSEMBLY
(2019)
The myxobacteria are Deltaproteobacteria capable of growing on a wide range of bacterial and fungal prey. To kill their prey, myxobacteria produce diverse secondary metabolites, many of which have medically desirable ...
RESPONSES OF TOTAL AND ACTIVE SOIL MICROBIAL COMMUNITIES TO CLIMATE WARMING
(2019-12)
As illustrated by accumulating scientific evidence, unconscionable anthropogenic activities since industrialization such as intensive land utilization and accumulation of various greenhouse gases due to fossil fuel combustion ...
THE ROLES AND MECHANISTIC FUNCTIONS OF NUCLEAR FACTOR Y TRANSCRIPTION FACTORS IN PLANTS
(2019-05)
Transcriptional regulation is a central component of biology whose importance cannot be overstated. From basal transcription of genes necessary for the physical make-up of a cell, to differential gene expression in response ...
CARBON-WATER COUPLING OF TERRESTRIAL ECOSYSTEMS IN RESPONSE TO CLIMATE CHANGE AND CLIMATE VARIABILITY
(2019-05-10)
Carbon and water cycles are two fundamental biophysical processes in terrestrial ecosystems. Rain use efficiency (RUE), defined as the ratio of ecosystem productivity to precipitation (PPT), and water use efficiency (WUE), ...
NADH-DEPENDENT, FERREDOXIN-INDEPENDENT HYDROGEN PRODUCTION IN TWO MODEL SYNTROPHIC BACTERIA
(2019-05-10)
The relationship between a fatty acid-oxidizing, hydrogen-producing bacterium and a hydrogen consuming methnogenic partner has longed served as a model system for anaerobic syntrophic metabolism. This process is dependent ...
The influence of nitrate on the short-term corrosion of steel catalyzed by marine microorganisms
(2019-12)
Microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) is of global concern and a threat due to its economic, environmental as well as public health implications. Identifying the factors that govern or influence MIC is beneficial ...
