Involvement of microbial mats in early fossilization by decay delay and formation of impressions and replicas of vertebrates and invertebrates.
Microbial mats have been hypothesized to improve the persistence and the preservation of organic remains during fossilization processes. We test this hypothesis with long-term experiments (up to 5.5 years) using invertebrate and vertebrate corpses. Once placed on mats, the microbial community coats the corpses and forms a three-dimensional sarcophagus composed of microbial cells and exopolymeri...
متن کاملThe Effect Of microbial Mats In The Decay Of Anurans With Implications For Understanding Taphonomic Processes In The Fossil Record
The pattern and sequence of the decomposition of the Pipidae African dwarf frog (Hymenochirus boettgeri) is tracked in an experiment with microbial mats in order to explore soft tissue preservation over three years. Frog decay in microbial mats is preceded by rapid entombment (25-30 days) and mediated by the formation of a sarcophagus, which is built by a complex microbial community. The frog c...
متن کاملStudy of Bacterial contamination of Vacuum packaged Fish obtained from Ahvaz market
Abstract Keeping health and nutritional value of the packed foods has a great value in food industries. Among the diverse methods of food processing and packaging, vacuum packaging is one of the best methods for a variety of food products, such as fish. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of such method in preventing of bacterial growth during preservation of fish fillets, four vacuum p...
متن کاملIsolation and Characterization of Hyperthermophilic Nanobacteria from a Hot Spring in Ardabil, Iran
ABSTRACT Background and Objective: Nanobacteria are nanometer-scale particles with different shapes, which have been a subject of debate in modern microbiology. They belong to a proposed class of living organisms, specifically cell-walled microorganisms with a size much smaller than the generally accepted lower limit for life. Since some microorganisms are ...
متن کاملProducing fish sauce from Caspian kilka
Fish sauce is a fermented product which is used in south Asian countries. In the present study, Caspian Kilka was used to produce the sauce, using either cooked or raw fish subjected to four different treatments: 1) traditional method, where fish and salt were used; 2) an enzymatic method, where fish, salt and proteolytic enzymes, including Protamex and Flavourzyme (Novo Nordisc Co., Bagsvaerd,...
