Because previous studies have demonstrated that renal inorganic phosphate reabsorption is enhanced in rats after dietary phosphorus deprivation, we studied the effects of parathyroid hormone (PTH) upon inorganic phosphate reabsorption in acutely thyroparathyroidectomized rats stabilized on a low phosphorus diet to determine if the phosphaturic response to PTH is impaired during phosphorous depl...

BACKGROUND External nutrient discharges have caused eutrophication in many estuaries and coastal seas such as the Baltic Sea. The sedimented nutrients can affect bacterial communities which, in turn, are widely believed to contribute to release of nutrients such as phosphorus from the sediment. METHODS We investigated relationships between bacterial communities and chemical forms of phosphoru...

Since Engelmann’s (1871) demonstration of increased phosphorus excretion in urine secreted during muscular exercise, there have been many attempts to show that the increase originated in the muscles. Muscle phosphorus compounds remain obscure, and it has only been during the last 10 years that the inorganic phosphorus of tissues could be conveniently determined. During this period, tissue inorg...

ruminal bacteria and protozoa provide excellent organic phosphorus (p) sources for the host animal. this experiment was conducted to compare the bioavailability of bacterial and protozoal p in comparison with that of dicalcium phosphate (dcp) as a reference phosphorus source. bacteria and protozoa were isolated from the rumen contents of dairy cows and the chick-model was used to determine the ...

BACKGROUND The health implications of dietary phosphorus intake and the role of kidney function in managing serum phosphorus homeostasis are well studied. However, examining the source of dietary phosphorus intake and its impact on serum phosphorus has not been characterized in population studies. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to distinguish the association of food sources of organic phosphorus ...

Accumulation of phosphorus in soil is a major factor limiting the operational life of land application waste disposal systems. Moreover, for nutrient management purposes and evaluation of potential environmental problems it is necessary to understand the impact of manure application on soil phosphorus sorption characteristics. In this study laboratory experiments were conducted to investigate t...

Food production requires application of fertilizers containing phosphorus, nitrogen and potassium on agricultural fields in order to sustain crop yields. However modern agriculture is dependent on phosphorus derived from phosphate rock, which is a non-renewable resource and current global reserves may be depleted in 50–100 years. While phosphorus demand is projected to increase, the expected gl...

A feasibility study with three pre-conditioning times was carried out to examine the effect of anaerobic pre-treatment on phosphorus removal by aeration. The results showed that soluble phosphorus could be decreased from 120 mg L−1 to about 40 mg L−1 within one-day aeration. However, soluble phosphorus concentration was found not affected by pre-conditioning, but more pH dependent. Anaerobic pr...

This study investigated the effectiveness of bioretention as a stormwater management practice using repetitive bioretention columns for phosphorus removal. Bioretention media, with a higher short-term phosphorus sorption capacity, retained more phosphorus from infiltrating runoff after 3 mg/L phosphorus loading. A surface mulch layer prevented clogging after repetitive total suspended solids in...

Phosphorus is an essential element for life, serving as an integral component of nucleic acids, lipids and a diverse range of other metabolites. Concentrations of bioavailable phosphorus are low in many aquatic environments. Microalgae, including diatoms, apply physiological and molecular strategies such as phosphorus scavenging or recycling as well as adjusting cell growth in order to adapt to...
