Recent findings of Escherichia coli persisting autochthonously in environmental matrices outside animal bodies have revealed largely unknown facets of the lifestyle and ecophysiology of the species that have yet to be explored. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of E. coli E1728 isolated from marine sediment.

Hypoxia (low O2) is a common and natural feature of many marine environments. However, human-induced hypoxia has been on the rise over the past half century and is now recognised as a major problem in the world's seas and oceans. Whilst we have information on how marine invertebrates respond physiologically to hypoxia in the laboratory, we still lack understanding of how they respond to such st...

salinity and flooding are as two very important factors of soil degradation. they often occur together and cancause severe damage to plants. however, plant response to environmental stresses may vary with growth stage atwhich exposure occurs. a pot study was conducted in 2005-2006 in northern aq qala (northern iran) to studycombine effects of waterlogging and soil salinity at different growth s...
