Oxygen free N20-saturated aqueous solutions of D-fructose-1-phosphate and Dfructose-6-phosphate were y-irradiated. Inorganic phosphate and phosphate free sugars (containing four to six carbon atoms) were identified and their G-values measured. D-Fructose-1-phosphate yields (G-values in parentheses) inorganic phosphate (1.6), hexos-2-ulose (0.12), 6-deoxy-2,5-hexodiulose (0.16), tetrulose (0.05)...

 The aquatic fern Azolla, a small-leaf floating plant that lives in symbiosis with a nitrogen fixing cyanobacteria (Anabaena), is an outstanding plant, thanks to its high biomass productivity along with its tremendous rate per unit area for nitrogen-fixation.  The present study investigates the potential growth of Azolla in secondary effluents for removal of COD, phosphorus, and nitrogen. Resul...

Pyrroline-5-carboxylate, the intermediate in the interconversion of proline, ornithine, and glutamate, increases 5-phosphoribosyl 1-pyrophosphate (PP-ribose-P) and purine nucleotide formation in intact human erythrocytes. We proposed that: 1) pyrroline-5-carboxylate is converted to proline by pyrroline-5-carboxylate reductase with concomitant oxidation of NADPH, 2) NADP+ augments glucose-6-phos...

A serious problem in cultivation of ornamental plants is a lack scientific and applied program in fertilization, so that the plant nutrition focused on growth medium. A randomized completely design with 8 different fertilization methods with the use of ammonium sulphate, potassium sulphate, di ammonium phosphate, ferrilene and kristalon was conducted in three replications in a greenhouse of Cha...

BACKGROUND The relative effectiveness and safety of sevelamer for treatment of hyperphosphataemia in dialysis patients is uncertain, as compared with calcium-based phosphate binders. METHODS We conducted a comprehensive search to identify all randomized cross-over or parallel group studies comparing sevelamer to any other therapy or placebo in adult dialysis patients. Study quality was assess...

Rice is an important commodity in human life where its production increase must be followed by environmental sustainability and land health. The achievement of increased rice supported can achieved utilizing biological fertilizers. One the microbes that used as nutrient providers for plants cyanobacteria. This study was carried out a greenhouse soil biology laboratory Indonesian Soil Research I...
