Copper is one of the most abundant heavy metals present in swine manure. In this study, a laboratory-scale aerobic composting system was amended with Cu at three levels (0, 200, and 2000 mg kg-1, i.e., control, Cu200, and Cu2000 treatments, respectively) to determine its effect on the fate of copper resistance genes [copper resistance genes (CRGs): pcoA, cusA, copA, and tcrB], antibiotic resist...

The Klip River has suffered from severe anthropogenic effects from industrial activities such as mining. Long-term exposure to heavy metal pollution has led to the development of heavy metal resistant strains of Pseudomonas sp. KR23, Lysinibacillus sp. KR25, and E. coli KR29. The objectives of this study were to characterize the genetics of copper and chromate resistance of the isolates. Copper...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the morphometry of the anterior thalamoperforating arteries (ATPA). METHODS A microanatomical study was performed in 79 specimens from 42 formalin-fixed adult cadaver brains. The origins of the ATPAs were divided into anterior, middle, and posterior segments according to the crowding pattern. The morphometry of the ATPAs, including the premammillary artery (PMA), were ex...

Lupinus mutabilis Sweet (Fabaceae), “tarwi” or “chocho”, is an important grain legume in the Andean region. In Peru, studies on tarwi have mainly focused morphological features; however, they not been molecularly characterized. Currently, it possible to explore genetic parameters of plants with reliable and modern methods such as genotyping by sequencing (GBS). Here, for first time, we used sin...

Amomum tsao-ko (Zingiberaceae) is a well-known medicinal and aromatic crop with long history of cultivation in China. Food pharmaceutical industries widely use its dried ripe fruit. In this study, 12 promoter anchored amplified polymorphism (PAAP) primer pairs conserved DNA-derived (CDDP) primers were used to assess the genetic diversity population structure 96 A. accessions from eight cultivat...

Mutagenesis is a well-known technique for introducing new variants into crop plants. In the present study, M2 populations were generated in cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.) variety CO7 using gamma irradiation. The progeny used to investigate effectiveness of irradiation doses and examined agronomic traits. genomic variation mutants their parents was analysed five SCoT markers. Marker analy...

Lablab purpureus is an important pulse crop in some parts of sub-Saharan Africa and Asia but has largely remained underutilized. Understanding the genetic diversity prerequisite for improvement utilization this leguminous crop. The relationships local lablab genotypes those collected from other diverse geographic origins including wild accessions remain unknown Kenya. study was undertaken to de...

Abstract Although cinema narrative represents a fundamental communication tool in framing public opinion, whether negative representation of certain species the context animal‐horror movies might increase attitudinal hostilities towards them remains an aspect wildlife perception that is poorly studied. Here, we reviewed online sources from last 70 years to describe animal roles horror and disas...

Gut microbiota play a very important role in the health of host, such as protecting from pathogens and maintaining homeostasis. However, environmental stressors, ocean acidification, hypoxia, warming can affect microbial communities by causing alteration their structure relative abundance destroying network. The study aimed to evaluate combined effects low pH, dissolved oxygen (DO) levels, on g...

Traditionally, humans have consumed nonhuman primates in many places, including throughout the Amazon region. However, primate consumption rates are changing with rising urbanization and market access. We characterize central Amazonia using 192 qualitative interviews inhabitants three rural villages city of Tefé. used a generalized linear model to investigate how individual consumer characteris...
