Carnivorism is one of the basic life strategies of fungi. Carnivorous fungi possess the ability to trap and digest their preys by sophisticated trapping devices. However, the origin and development of fungal carnivorism remains a gap in evolution biology. In this study, five protein-encoding genes were used to construct the phylogeny of the carnivorous fungi in the phylum Ascomycota; these fung...

The Okavango delta in northwestern Botswana is an extremely complex and dynamic wetland ecosystem. The spatial information on diverse wetland features of the delta is needed for hydrological modeling and water resources management. Due to large size and inaccessibility of the delta, satellite images provide the only viable means to reliably map and measure these features. For better identificat...

Aerobic granular sludge/Nereda technology has proven to be more beneficial compared to activated sludge systems. Until now not much research has been spend on treatment of Nereda excess sludge (NES). In this study the biodegradability of NES is investigated, combined with thermal pressure hydrolysis (TPH) as pre-treatment method and the application of an up-flow digester concept. The maximal bi...

The relationship between the evolution of genes and languages has been studied for over three decades. These studies rely on the assumption that languages, as many other cultural traits, evolve in a gene-like manner, accumulating heritable diversity through time and being subjected to evolutionary mechanisms of change. In the present work we used genetic data to evaluate South American linguist...

Background: Synadenium glaucescens and Commiphora swynnertonii are among the reported plants used traditionally for treatment of bacterial infections. This study reports antibacterial effects single combined extracts from leaves, stem root barks glaucescens. Materials Methods: Plants were collected Manyara Njombe regions in Tanzania. Extraction was done using dichloromethane methanol. The asses...

• EAEP increased extractability and bioaccessibility of soy isoflavone aglycones. phenolic compounds. resulted in extracts with higher antioxidant potential. improved the functional biological properties extracts. The effects enzymatic extraction strategies on extractability, bioconversion, biologically active aglycones, total content, activity aqueous from full-fat flour were evaluated. Protea...
