A Gram-positive bacterium that inhibits several root-rot pathogens was isolated from alder forest soil on the Oregon coast. This organism, similar to Bacillus cereus, produces in culture media a heat-stable, broad-spectrum antibiotic which inhibits growth of four important Northwest conifer root disease fungi: Phellinus weirii (Murr.) Gilbertson, Fomes annosus (Fr.) Cke., Armillariella mellea (...

The metabolites of two different Ripartites species, R. tricholoma (A. & S. ex Fr.) Karst. and R. metrodii Huijsm. were investigated. Three new sesquiterpenes were isolated from three different strains. In addition, the strains produced 13-oxo-9(Z),11(E)-octadecadienoic acid, psathyrellon A, 5-desoxyilludosin, an illudane (previously isolated from a Bovista sp.) 96042 and demethylovalicin, five...

Abstract Inspired by structural geology, karstology, geomorphology, as well petroleum coupling excellent documented research works and the field investigation, status prospect for studies on karst feature of Tahe oilfield are discussed comprehensively. Results indicate: (a) majority have appeared since 2000 can be classified three categories 12 subclasses, in which caves, fracture cave systems ...

Species richness and abundance of bats were studied in four nature reserves, including a karst area which has many potential rocky shelters for bats, such as caves and rock crevices. The reserves were located in the greater Belo Horizonte metropolitan area, one of the most populated regions of Brazil, within the Atlantic Forest, and Cerrado (Brazilian savanna) ecological domains. Bats were samp...

The purpose of this study was to identify the influence karst landscape on sustainable development Bela krajina region, southeast Slovenia. In order better understand we used three approaches: (1) Karst Disturbance Index, (2) a quantitative analysis by using indicators and (3) qualitative structured interviews. Index classified degree disturbance in as low. According found differences structure...

The Zafarraya polje undergoes periodical flooding, of which the last episode (1996–1997) was analysed in detail on this paper. On the basis of the retention curves of the two lakes that formed in the northwestern and southwestern sectors, we calculated the total infiltration capacity of the polje to have a maximum value of 3–3.5 m/s and so we infer that when the flow of the Arroyo de la Madre e...

Unchanging physicochemical conditions and nutrient sources over long periods of time in cave and karst subsurface habitats, particularly aquifers, can support stable ecosystems, termed autochthonous microbial endokarst communities (AMEC). AMEC existence is unknown for other karst settings, such as epigenic cave streams. Conceptually, AMEC should not form in streams due to faster turnover rates ...
