Ionic homeostasis, biochemical components and yield of Italian zucchini under nitrogen forms and salt stress

Braz. j. biol; 82 (), 2022
This research was carried out aiming at evaluating the effects of nitrate and ammonium ions on nutrient accumulation, biochemical components and yield of Italian zucchini (cv. Caserta) grown in a hydroponic system under salt stress conditions. The experiment was carried out in a greenhouse utilizing an e...

Characterization of glutamine synthetase from the ammonium-excreting strain HM053 of Azospirillum brasilense

Braz. j. biol; 82 (), 2022
Glutamine synthetase (GS), encoded by glnA, catalyzes the conversion of L-glutamate and ammonium to L-glutamine. This ATP hydrolysis driven process is the main nitrogen assimilation pathway in the nitrogen-fixing bacterium Azospirillum brasilense. The A. brasilense strain HM053 has poor GS activity and l...

Polifluoruro de amonio como alternativa de acondicionamiento para laminados ultradelgados de disilicato de litio. Reporte de caso

RESUMEN: Los laminados vitrocerámicos ultradelgados constituyen una alternativa conservadora para la resolución de alteraciones estéticas. Sin embargo, su acondicionamiento con ácido fluorhídrico suele no estar exento de complicaciones, por lo que el uso de un sistema autograbante en base a polifluo...

Antagonistic microorganisms and nitrogen fertilization in control of tomato southern blight

Arq. Inst. Biol; 88 (), 2021
The present study assessed the efficacy of formulated biocontrol agents and nitrogen fertilization on southern blight control. Antagonism test in vitro was performed to assess the inhibitory activity of Bacillus methylotrophicus and Trichoderma asperellum against the growth of Sclerotium rolfsii. Tomato ...

Sistema de evacuación seguro de neumoperitoneo y humo quirúrgico en cirugía laparoscópica mediante trampa de agua en tiempos de COVID-19

INTRODUCCIÓN: La reciente pandemia por SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) ha hecho resurgir preocupación sobre la exposición inadvertida del equipo quirúrgico a agentes infecciosos transmisibles por vía aérea durante el acto quirúrgico. El objetivo de este trabajo es describir la confección de un sistema de f...

The effect of introduction of chicken manure on the biodiversity and performance of an anaerobic digester

Background: Ammonium stress is a prime limiting phenomenon that occurs during methane formation from poultry manure. It is caused by elevated ammonium nitrogen concentrations that result from substrate decomposition. The amounts of methane formed depend on the activity of methanogenic microbes. Results: ...

Correlación entre los microorganismos oxidantes del amonio y los factores ambientales durante el compostaje de estiércol de ganado
Correlation between ammonia-oxidizing microorganisms and environmental factors during cattle manure composting

Rev. argent. microbiol; 51 (4), 2019
Abstract Cattle manure composting was performed in an aerated vessel. Community structure and diversity of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) and ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) were investigated using polymerase chain reaction and denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (PCR-DGGE) techniques targeting the...

Determination of acute toxicity of ammonium in juvenile Patagonian blenny (Eleginops maclovinus)

Braz. j. biol; 79 (4), 2019
Abstract Deionized ammonium (NH3) acute toxicity (LC50-96h) in Patagonian blenny juveniles (Eleginops maclovinus) was assessed. Concentrations of deionized ammonium in salt water were prepared by using 24.09 ± 2.1 g ammonium chloride (NH4Cl). Fish were exposed in triplicates to different ammonium conce...

Diversity and abundance of denitrifiers during cow manure composting

Rev. argent. microbiol; 51 (3), 2019
Diversity and abundance of the denitrifying genes nirK, nirS and nosZ were investigated in cow manure compost using polymerase chain reaction-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (PCR-DGGE) and real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR), respectively. These three genes were detected in all the stages of the co...

The effect of seasonal and human pressure on macrobenthic fauna in the Caroni Swamp Ramsar Site, Trinidad and Tobago

Rev. biol. trop; 66 (3), 2018
Abstract Human pressures have placed many tropical estuaries in developing countries under increased levels of stress. The Caroni Swamp Ramsar Site, the largest mangrove swamp along the west coast of Trinidad, has been subjected to high levels of anthropogenic impacts including hydrological alteration an...
