Despite the predominance of aquatic environments on the planet Earth, microbial abundance and diversity within soil environments exceed that of the aquatic realm. Most of what we know of viral ecology within natural systems has come through investigations of aquatic environments. However, the 'aquatic-bias' in viral ecology is beginning to change as the cultivation-independent approaches, which...

mehredjan bentonite deposit is located ~33 km southeast of khoor in isfehan province. it includes 15 discrete outcrops and occurs as layered and massive forms within a volcano-clastic sequence. bentonitization process was accompanied with development of minerals such as montmorillonite, quartz, cristobalite, calcite, kaolinite, halite, albite, orthoclase, and muscovite. the collected field and ...

Synchysite was identified in the Rožná uranium deposit a quartz–carbonate–sulfide vein, which is part of late (post-uranium and, post-Variscan) stage development hydrothermal system. The synchysite forms needles or lamellae, are almost exclusively bound to quartz filling veins. structure vein-filling, i.e., preserved tubular syneresis crack pattern, Liesegang bands formed by hematite, chaotic g...
