Three slow-growing rhizobial strains, designated RITF806(T), RITF807 and RITF211, isolated from root nodules of Acacia melanoxylon grown in Ganzhou city, Jiangxi Province, China, had been previously defined, based on amplified 16S rRNA gene restriction analysis, as a novel group within the genus Bradyrhizobium. To clarify their taxonomic position, these strains were further analysed and compare...

method has been developed in this laboratory using a gum acacia solution of proper specific gravity, hydrogen ion concentration, and osmotic pressure. Supravital studies of leukocytes separated by this method indicate that cells are viable and apparently undamaged . Preparation of solution: To io ml. ofdistilled water in a 100 ml. graduate (which has a stopper), 30 grams of gum acacia, and 30 m...

The mechanisms by which even the clearest of keystone or dominant species exert community-wide effects are only partially understood in most ecosystems. This is especially true when a species or guild influences community-wide interactions via changes in the abiotic landscape. Using stable isotope analyses, we show that subterranean termites in an East African savanna strongly influence a key e...

Litter decomposition in southern Appalachian black locust and pine-hardwood stands: litter quality and nitrogen dynamics. Can. J. For. Res. 18: 54-63. To compare litter decomposition and nitrogen (N) dynamics in 16-year-old black locust and pine-hardwood forest stands, weight loss, N concentration, and litter quality of the dominant species in each stand were monitored for 863 days, using litte...

Six total mixed rations (TMR) containing 0, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12% tannin (TMR I-VI), using Accacia nilotica pods as a source of tannin, were used to study the effect of Acacia tannin on in vitro nutrient digestibility and gas production in goats. This study also investigated the degraded products of Acacia nilotica tannin in goat rumen liquor. Degraded products of tannins were identified using high ...

Herbal medicine is still the mainstay of about 70-80% of world population, main ly in the developing countries, for primary health care because of better cultural acceptability, better compatibility with human body with lesser side effects. Acacia nilotica is also a popular ornamental avenue tree in India. This review aimed at revealing brief account of plant part used, mode of admin istration,...

The mountain gazelle (Gazella gazelle), Dorcas gazelle (Gazella Dorcas) and acacia gazelle (Gazella arabica acacia) were historically abundant in the southern Levant, and more specifically in Israel. Anthropogenic and natural changes have caused a rapid decline in gazelle populations, raising concerns about their conservation status and future survival. The genetic profile of 111 wild gazelles ...

Polyphenols constitute a distinct group of natural compounds of medicinal importance exhibiting wide range of physiological activities as antioxidant, immunestimulant, antitumor and antiparasitic. Yellow fever and dengue fever are mosquito-borne infectious diseases transmitted by Aedes aegyptii, the presence of yellow fever in Sudan and dengue fever in Saudi Arabia are threats to Egypt with the...
