A field experiment was conducted during rainy (kharif) and winter (rabi) seasons 2019–20 2020–21 at the research farm of ICAR-Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi to study effect rice establishment techniques (RETs) microbial consortia mediated in situ residue management options on nitrogen (N) budgeting a (Oryza sativa L.)-wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cropping system (RWCS). The l...

Temperature regulates the rate of biogeochemical cycles. One way it does so is through control of microbial metabolism. Warming effects on metabolism change with time as physiology adjusts to the new temperature. I here propose that such thermal adaptation is observed in soil microbial respiration and growth, as the result of universal evolutionary trade-offs between the structure and function ...

The paper presents an overview of the electrical bio-impedance (EBI) signal decomposition into its cardiac and respiratory components. This problem mainly originates from the nonstationarity of the signal components and overlapping of their harmonic spectra. In the introductory part of the paper, an overview of the bio-impedance signal decomposer (BISD), as a solution of the problem, is accompa...

BACKGROUND To determine the relationship between type three secretion genotype and fluoroquinolone resistance for P. aeruginosa strains isolated from microbial keratitis during the Steroids for Corneal Ulcers Trial (SCUT) and for two laboratory strains, PA103 and PAO1. METHODS Confirmed P. aeruginosa isolates from the SCUT were divided into exoU(+) or exoU(-). The exoU(+) strains contained th...

Bartonella henselae, a worldwide fastidious bacterium, has a feline reservoir and is pathogenic for humans. However, the relationship between human and cat isolates of B. henselae, as well as its population dynamics and geographic heterogeneity, is not fully understood, in part because of the absence of appropriate typing methods. Multilocus sequence typing (MLST), the most discriminatory genot...
