Abstract The importance of soil biodiversity is increasingly recognized in agriculture and natural resource research development. Yet, traditional assessments are costly time‐consuming, limiting the extent frequency sampling analysis space time. Flow cytometry (FCM) a powerful technique to characterize cell communities due its high robustness accuracy, requiring only short time for characteriza...

Tropical mangroves are considered one of the most productive ecosystems in the world, characterized by high rate of cycling of organic matter and nutrients that occurs between the oceans and terrestrial environments. This paper proposes the characterization and evaluation of structures and diversity of microbial communities in the soil of mangroves in three conservation areas located in Sergipe...

This study reports the purification and biochemical characterization of thermostable and acidic-pH-stable α-amylase from Bacillus sp. Iranian S1 isolated from the desert soil (Gandom-e-Beryan in Lut desert, Iran). Amylase production was found to be growth associated. Maximum enzyme production was in exponential phase with activity 2.93 U ml-1 at 50°C and pH 5. The enzyme was purified by isoprop...

Background. Environmental pollution with toxic compounds poses a danger to nature and humans. Various technologies for soil purification from metals are being developed. Objective. The work was aimed study the possibility of lawn grass using Cr(VI). Methods. Plant seeds (Festuca rubra L. 45%, Festuca arundinacea Schreb. 25%, Lolium perenne 20%, Poa pratensis 10%) were sown in container at 24 °C...

This article focuses on studying biotechnologies for remediation of soils contaminated with heavy metals to determine further the most effective methods cleaning from action toxicants their subsequent implementation in practice. The soil restoration were analyzed, advantages and disadvantages identified, making it possible establish that biological are safest environmentally friendly. expedienc...
