Rhizopus oryzae is a filamentous fungus, belonging to the order Mucorales. It can ferment a wide range of carbohydrates hydrolyzed from lignocellulosic materials and even cellobiose to produce ethanol. However, R. oryzae also produces lactic acid as a major metabolite, which reduces the yield of ethanol. In this study, we show that significant reduction of lactic acid production could be achiev...

Genetic and phenotypic correlations between production traits, selected linear type traits, and somatic cell score were estimated. The results could be useful for breeding programs involving Czech Holstein dairy cows or other populations. A series of bivariate analyses was applied whereby (co)variance components were estimated using average information (AI-REML) implemented via the DMU statisti...

Land area devoted to organic agriculture has increased steadily over the last 20 years in the United States, and elsewhere around the world. A primary criticism of organic agriculture is lower yield compared to non-organic systems. Previous analyses documenting the yield deficiency in organic production have relied mostly on data generated under experimental conditions, but these studies do not...

Yield gap analyses of individual crops have been used to estimate opportunities for increasing crop production at local to global scales, thus providing information crucial to food security. However, increases in crop production can also be achieved by improving cropping system yield through modification of spatial and temporal arrangement of individual crops. In this paper we define the croppi...

Background:  Magnetotactic bacteria are a heterogeneous group of Gram-negative prokaryote cells that produce linear chains of magnetic particles called magnetosomes, intracellular organelles composed of magnetic iron particles. Many important applications have been defined for magnetic nanoparticles in biotechnology, such as cell separation applications and  acting as carriers of enzymes, antib...

Crop production is only profitable when all information known about a specific crop. This turned into yield through efficient management technologies and critical decision-making. Efficient can be done with the help of monitoring technologies, goal to optimize natural, human, material resources while maximizing crop efficiency. Yield works using sensors systems ensure accuracy yield. The sensor...

yield map represent grain mixed from a certain area, and some uncertainty is associated with the exact size Crop yield maps reflect stable yield patterns and annual random and geographical location of this area as well as meayield variation. Procedures for classifying a sequence of yield maps surement error. For the same location, this uncertainty to delineate yield zones were evaluated in two ...
