CELLULOLYTIC BACTERIA MANGROVE LEAF LITTER IN BANGKA ISLAND

Microbial flora associated with submerged mangrove leaf litter in India.

We studied the microbial flora in decomposing mangrove leaves in relation to changes in nitrogen and tannin levels, and in penaeid prawn assemblages. Senescent leaves of two mangrove species (Rhizophora apiculata and Avicennia marina) kept in nylon bags, were separately immersed for 80 days in five tanks full of mangrove water. A known amount of decomposing leaves was collected every ten days f...

Phylogenetic conservation of substrate use specialization in leaf litter bacteria

Environmental change will influence the ecosystem processes regulated by microbial communities, including leaf litter decomposition. To assess how microbial communities and their functioning might respond to increases in temperature, we quantified the distribution of traits related to carbon substrate utilization and temperature sensitivity in leaf litter bacteria isolated from a natural grassl...

Isolation of Cellulolytic Bacteria

Cellulolytic and non-cellulolytic bacteria in rat gastrointestinal tracts.

Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium species were the predominant organisms isolated from small intestinal (jejunal) contents of rats, and lactic acid was the only organic acid detected. The numbers of cellulolytic bacteria in small intestines were low (approximately 10(3)/g). The fermentation in ceca was different from that in intestines, as, in addition to small amounts of lactic acid, high conc...

survey microbial decomposition leaf litter of salix sp. populus sp. robinia sp. in artificial stream

مطالعه اکولوژیک از سرچشمه رودخانه قره سو(سراب روانسر) در استان کرمانشاه واقع در غرب ایران در پائیز 1378 انجام شد، حداکثر دمای آب 20 درجه سانتی گراد بود، هنگام مطالعه دما در سرچشمه 18 سانتی گراد بود، مقدار عناصر شیمیایی آب اندازه گیری نشد. در این پژوهش لاشبرگ های درختی از بید، چنار، اقاقیا جمع آوری سپس توسط بخش هرباریوم دانشکده کشاورزی دانشگاه شناسایی شدند. وزن خاکستر خشک afdm در(نمونه برداری ...
