Epilithic algae of Çalgan Creek

In this study, the epilithic algae in the samples collected from three stations on the Çalgan Creek (Elazığ) in Fırat University between January and June 2016 were investigated in terms of some physical and chemical parameters. During the study, 44 taxa of epilithic algae were recorded. It was observed that Euglenophyta (1 species), Cyanophyta (3 species), Chlorophyta (6 species) and Bacillario...

Eighteen stations (9 stations each in the creek and offshore waters) were sampled. |Mean zoopl...

Up a chemical creek.

mycin and roxithromycin (RXM) have an anti-inflammatory effect that may account for their clinical benefit in the treatment of chronic airway inflammatory diseases. However, the precise mechanism of this anti-inflammatory effect is not well understood. Purpose : The influence of RXM on matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 production from neutrophils in response to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulati...

Qualitative spot biotic survey of Oaks Creek, White Creek, Cripple Creek, and Moe Pond in Otsego County, New York

As non-native species move across the landscape and hydrofracking and other human impacts increase in scope, it is becoming more critical than ever that we can quantify changes to community structure. In order to do that, however, we must first have baseline data on which species are initially present. These baseline data also have the benefit of facilitating speciesspecific research by identif...
