We have characterized a DNA-binding activity, designated light-regulated nuclear factor (LRF-1), which interacted with a specific sequence located 150 nucleotides upstream from the transcription start site of a phytochrome-regulated Lemna gibba rbcS gene (SSU5B). There was a higher level of LRF-1 activity recovered from nuclei of light-grown plants than from dark-treated plants. In light-grown ...

In this study duckweed (Lemna gibba) and waste activated sludge (WAS) were co-digested in different proportions with acclimatized anaerobic granular sludge (AAGS) in mesophilic conditions. The aim was to evaluate if the co-digestion could lead to an increased efficiency of methane production compared to digestion of waste activated sludge alone. Results indicate that co-digestion with both duck...
