MICRO-ORGANISMS OF SOIL AND HUMAN WELFARE

Decomposition of Cysteic Acid and Taurine by Soil Micro - organisms

Streptomycetes and aerobic bacteria able to utilize cysteic acid and taurine as sole sources of energy, nitrogen and sulphur were isolated from soil materials. None of the isolated fungi did this. The bacterium which was used in most experiments grew on both compounds. The sulphur of the compounds was recovered as sulphate and most of the nitrogen as ammonia after breakdown by growing or pregro...

Impacts of Transgenic Plants and Micro- Organisms on Soil Biota

Little is known about the impacts of transgenic plants and micro-organisms on soil biota and processes, despite the large number of field releases of transgenic crops. Recent work has shown that transgenic plants can cause changes in the soil biota (both invertebrates and micro-organisms) associated with these plants. Often the changes are transient but their impact on the soil ecosystem remain...

Soil Organisms and Disease

effect of flaming on wild mustard (sinapis arvensis l.) soil seed bank, soil micro organisms and physicochemical characteristics

in order to study the effect of flaming on seed viability of sinapis arvensis l., changes in microorganisms population and physicochemical characteristics of soil after canola (brassica napus l.) harvesting, an experiment was carried out based on randomized complete block design with four replications and eight treatments at karaj research center, iran, during 2005- 2006. after harvesting canol...

Adaptation in Micro-Organisms

all the humdrum of mental undressing, dressing, shaving, etc., there is the chance reward of being confidential ear to what may never be so well expressed or thought of again. The contributors of the "relatively brief" presentations are six in number. Alex Bavelas talks on "Communication patterns in problem-solving groups"; Ivor A. Richards, on "Communication between men: Meaning and language";...
