متن کاملA Survey of Medically Important Snails of Gahar Lake in Lorestan Province, Iran
Introduction: Some snails play an important role in the transmission of helminthes, mainly trematodes of medical and veterinary importance. There seems to be no information on the freshwater snails of Gahar Lake in Lorestan province of Iran. The present study aimed to identify medically important snails of this lake. Methods: Samples were collected from ten localities around Gahar Lake in April...
متن کاملFreshwater bacteria release methane as a byproduct of phosphorus acquisition.
Freshwater lakes emit large amounts of methane, some of which is produced in oxic surface waters. Two potential pathways for aerobic methane production exist: methanogenesis in oxygenated water, which has been observed in some lakes, or demethylation of small organic molecules. Although methane is produced via demethylation in oxic marine environments, this mechanism of methane release has not ...
متن کاملAnaerobic oxidation of methane in sediments of Lake Constance, an oligotrophic freshwater lake.
Anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) with sulfate as terminal electron acceptor has been reported for various environments, including freshwater habitats, and also, nitrate and nitrite were recently shown to act as electron acceptors for methane oxidation in eutrophic freshwater habitats. Radiotracer experiments with sediment material of Lake Constance, an oligotrophic freshwater lake, were per...
متن کاملBiogeochemistry of methane in the permanently ice-covered Lake Untersee, central Dronning Maud Land, East Antarctica
We found unprecedentedly high abundances of microbially produced CH4 in the anoxic deep waters of Lake Untersee, an oligotrophic, perennially ice-covered Antarctic freshwater lake. The maximum CH4 concentration (approaching 21.8 6 1.4 mmol L21) is one of the highest observed so far in a natural aquatic ecosystem. Although surficial lake sediments are the predominant source of CH4 in Lake Unters...
