Alleviation of salt stress by halotolerant and halophilic plant growth-promoting bacteria in wheat (Triticum aestivum)

Braz. j. microbiol; 47 (3), 2016
ABSTRACT In the current study, 18 halotolerant and halophilic bacteria have been investigated for their plant growth promoting abilities in vitro and in a hydroponic culture. The bacterial strains have been investigated for ammonia, indole-3-acetic acid and 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate-deaminase pro...

Assessment of microalgae and nitrifiers activity in a consortium in a continuous operation and the effect of oxygen depletion

Electron. j. biotechnol; 19 (5), 2016
Background: Industrial wastewaters with a high content of nitrogen are a relevant environmental problem. Currently, treatments to remove nitrogen are not efficient, so is necessary to develop alternative methods. The objective of this study is to investigate a consortium of microalgae - nitrifying, that ...

Emissão de amônia de veículo automotor leve e sua importância para a Saúde Ambiental

Introdução - A amônia (NH3) é um poluente atmosférico cuja emissão é em parte provocada por atividades antrópicas. A geração de energia através da queima de combustíveis é uma dessas atividades, dentro da qual, o setor de transporte e principalmente os veículos automotores rodoviários são...

Inhalación masiva de amoniaco: reporte de dos casos

Ammonia (NH3) is an irritant and corrosive gas whose inhalation at high concentrations mainly occurs during agricultural and industrial activities, as occupational accidents. The extent and severity of the damage depends on the concentration and time of exposure to the toxic, which can cause skin, eye, r...

High levels of total ammonia nitrogen as NH4+ are stressful and harmful to the growth of Nile tilapia juveniles

Acta sci., Biol. sci; 35 (4), 2013
This study determined whether high levels of total ammonia nitrogen (TAN) as NH4+ are harmful to the growth performance of Nile tilapia juveniles. Fingerlings (0.31 ± 0.04 g) were assigned to 30 polyethylene 100-L tanks in a roofed room for 12 rearing weeks. There were increasing levels of TAN by increa...

Constructed wetlands for domestic wastewater treatment in a Mediterranean climate region in Chile

Electron. j. biotechnol; 16 (4), 2013
Background: Constructed wetlands are a promising, cheap and effective wastewater treatment in small communities. The studies on these systems have been reported mainly from cold, tropical or subtropical climate regions. In this work we constructed a pilot plant with six horizontal subsurface flow constru...

Encefalopatia hepática: relatório da 1ª reunião monotemática da Sociedade Brasileira de Hepatologia

GED gastroenterol. endosc. dig; 30 (Supl.1), 2011
A encefalopatia hepática (EH) é um distúrbio funcional do sistema nervoso central (SNC) associado à insufi ciência hepática, de fisiopatologia multifatorial e complexa. Devido aos avanços no conhecimento sobre o manejo da EH na cirrose e na insuficiência hepática aguda (IHA), a diretoria da Soci...

NTPDase and acetylcholinesterase activities in silver catfish, Rhamdia quelen (Quoy & Gaimard, 1824) (Heptapteridae) exposed to interaction of oxygen and ammonia levels

Neotrop. ichthyol; 7 (4), 2009
The effects of various levels of oxygen saturation and ammonia concentration on NTPDase (ecto-nucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolase, E.C. 3.6.1.5) and acetylcholinesterase (AChE, E.C. 3.1.1.7) activities in whole brain of teleost fish (Rhamdia quelen) were investigated. The fish were exposed to one ...

Avaliação físico-química e organoléptica do estado de conservação de carne bovina moída, preparada industrialmente

Rev. bras. ciênc. vet; 3 (3), 1996
Através de exames físico-químicos e organolépticos, avaliou-se o estado de conservação de carne bovina moída, preparada industrialmente e embalada a vácuo, quando mantida a temperatura de 8°C, após a abertura da embalagem. As análises foram realizadas nos 1°, 3°, 5° e 7° dias de armazenage...
