A laboratory incubation experiment was conducted during December, 2017 to March, 2018 in Department of Soil Science and Agricultural Chemistry, College Agriculture, Raichur, Karnataka, India study the fractionation phosphorus (P) black soil amended with different phosphatic fertilizers under submerged condition. The were kept subemerged condition for 90 days phophatic such as single super phosp...

Mechanisms for Fe(III) oxide reduction were investigated in Geothrix fermentans, a dissimilatory Fe(III)-reducing microorganism found within the Fe(III) reduction zone of subsurface environments. Culture filtrates of G. fermentans stimulated the reduction of poorly crystalline Fe(III) oxide by washed cell suspensions, suggesting that G. fermentans released one or more extracellular compounds th...

Inhaled corticosteroids are capable of reducing the level of exhaled nitric oxide (expiratory nitric oxide fraction (FE,NO)) in asthmatic patients in a dose-dependent fashion. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether or not treatment with an inhaled steroid can prevent changes in FE,NO after the exposure to relevant allergens, following avoidance, in asthmatic children allergic to house du...

Studies with the dissimilatory Fe(III)-reducing microorganism Geobacter metallireducens demonstrated that the common technique of separating Fe(III)-reducing microorganisms and Fe(III) oxides with semipermeable membranes in order to determine whether the Fe(III) reducers release electron-shuttling compounds and/or Fe(III) chelators is invalid. This raised doubts about the mechanisms for Fe(III)...

The reaction between aqueous Fe(II) and Fe(III) oxides is extremely complex, and can catalyze Fe(II)-Fe(III) electron transfer, exchange of Fe atoms between the aqueous and solid phases, mineral transformation, and contaminant reduction. Together, these processes represent a phenomenon referred to as Fe(II)-catalyzed Fe oxide recrystallization, which has been observed under controlled condition...

We compared the reactivity and microbial reduction potential of Fe(III) minerals in the rhizosphere and non-rhizosphere soil to test the hypothesis that rapid Fe(III) reduction rates in wetland soils are explained by rhizosphere processes. The rhizosphere was defined as the area immediately adjacent to a root encrusted with Fe(III)-oxides or Fe plaque, and non-rhizosphere soil was >0.5 cm from ...

a graphene oxide-terpyridine conjugate (gotc) based colorimetric and fluorescent nano-chemosensor was synthesized. it showed high selectivity and sensitivity for fe2+ and fe3+ ions in neutral aqueous solution over other metal ions such as li+, na+, ba2+, ca2+, al3+, cd2+, co2+, cu2+, hg2+, mn2+, ni2+, pb2+, zn2+, cr3+ and ag+. in absorption spectra, upon addition of fe2+ or fe3+, the sensor dis...

different types of iron oxides deposits have been identified along the khaf – dorouneh volcanic and plutonic belt in north east of iran. kuh-e-zar is one of these ore deposits known as fe- oxide gold deposit. the main purpose of this paper is to detect and discriminate the iron oxide minerals in this area based on the etm+ data. data processing has been done by envi (environment for visualizing...
