Ecker, R. E. (Iowa State University, Ames), and W. R. Lockhart. Relationships between initial nutrient concentration and total growth. J. Bacteriol. 82:80-84. 1961.-The relationship observed between maximal attainable growth in a microbial population and initial concentration of limiting nutrient depends upon the parameter selected for measurement of growth. A linear relationship is found only ...

Our previous experiments have shown that a certain physical radiation restricts the quantity of cells (infusoria) in developing culture “from above”. Given report describes the series of experiments which enabled to determine the nature of this phenomenon. Occurred that this radiation belongs to UV spectral region with the wave range (200-290) nm. Defined has been influence of concentration of ...

Nothofagus pumilio (lenga) forests form monocultures from sea level to timberline in Tierra de Fuego, Argentina. Past studies suggested that the life form change from erect forest to krummholz had advantages to forest function. Aboveground net primary productivity (NPP) and organic matter production per unit leaf area and growing season day were higher in krummholz than in adjacent short erect ...
