Bu çalışma, Rize ili İkizdere ilçesi Legiş yaylası merasında 2019 yılı içerisinde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışmada meranın toprağı kaplama oranı, botanik kompozisyonu, mera kalite derecesi ve durumu karakterleri incelenmiştir. Arazi çalışması, Temmuz ayı içinde, vejetasyonun klimaks evreye ulaştığı safhada yapılmıştır. Araştırma alanında örnek parseller “Lup” yöntemi kullanılarak belirlenmiştir....

Metabolic enzymes such as alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) were evaluated in Indian teleostean fishes, namely, Anabas testudineus (Bloch) and Heteropneustes fossilis (Bloch), for an exposure to 30 days of Excel Mera 71 (17.2 mg/L), a glyphosate formulation, and subsequent depuration under Liv.52, a plant extract at a dose of 187.5 ...

This manuscript is dedicated to our friend, mentor, and coauthor Dr Terry Beveridge, who devoted his scientific career to advancing fundamental aspects of microbial ultrastructure using innovative electron microscopic approaches. During his graduate studies with Professor Robert Murray, Terry provided some of the first glimpses and structural evaluations of the regular surface arrays (S-layers)...

Salmonella infections have been implicated in large-scale die-offs of wild birds in the United States. Although we know quite a bit about the epidemiology of Salmonella infection among domestic fowl, we know little about the incidence, epidemiology, and genetic relatedness of salmonellae in nondomestic birds. To gain further insight into salmonellae in these hosts, 22 Salmonella isolates from d...

Mercury (Hg), especially in organic form, is a highly toxic pollutant affecting plants, animals, and man. In plants, the primary target of Hg damage is the chloroplast; Hg inhibits electron transport and photosynthesis. In the present study, chloroplast genetic engineering is used for the first time to our knowledge to enhance the capacity of plants for phytoremediation. This was achieved by in...

As very little information was available on mercury sensitivity testing, the first aim was to determine the most suitable agar and concentration of mercuric chloride to use in this project. The primary objective o f the study was to determine whether mercury released from amalgam fillings could increase the prevalence o f mercury-resistant bacteria in the oral flora of children. This was achiev...
