Culture-dependent and culture-independent approaches were used to determine the relationship between the dehalogenase gene pool in bacteria enriched and isolated on 2,2-dichloropropionic acid (22DCPA) and the environmental metagene pool (the collective gene pool of both the culturable and uncultured microbes) from which they were isolated. The dehalogenases in the pure-cultures isolates, which ...

From the many existing documents on the history of glanders, it is possible to detail the practical measures adopted for disease surveillance and control from antiquity until the 19th century, principally in European countries. Surveillance is based on clinical diagnosis, post-mortem examination, animal inoculation and knowledge of the conditions under which infection occurred: aetiology, patho...

Witnesses are frequently questioned immediately following a crime. The effects of such testing on false recall are inconclusive: Testing may inoculate against subsequent misinformation or enhance false memory formation. We examined whether different types of processing can account for these discrepancies. Drawing from Fuzzy-trace and Associative-activation theories, immediate questions that tri...

(Dated: February 24, 2010) Proper acceleration and proper velocity are relativity-smart concepts that, along with propertime, can (i) inject conceptual-clarity into low-speed intro-physics applications and (ii) inoculate students against cognitive-dissonance when special and general relativistic applications are discussed. By calling the attention of introductory students to clock and free-floa...

An interrelationship between introduced and indigenous rhizobia focused on their competitiveness in nodulation was evaluated in a soil pot experiment. Clover seeds were inoculated by six different gradual concentrations of inoculum of two effective Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. trifolii isolates (inoculation strains 1/2 and 14/2). At the beginning of flowering, clover plants were removed from the...

Faced with the contrasting results of inoculation and co-inoculation in bean crop, an experiment was carried out pots, objective evaluating performance plant treatments inoculated or co-inoculated Rhizobium tropici Azospirillum brasilense, via seeds, without chemical treatment fungicide insecticide, combined 4 top-dressing nitrogen doses (0, 30, 60, 120 kg ha-1), a ‘Latossolo Vermelho-Amarelo d...

in order to evaluate arbuscular mycorrhiza (glomuss mossea) and mycorrhiza-like (piriformospora indica) effects on yield, yield components and some morphological (cv. azar 2) traits of wheat (triticum aestivum l.) under water deficit stress, a pot experiment was conducted as factorial experiment based on completely randomized design with four replications. treatments were drought stress at thre...

in order to study the response of concentration and composition of essential oil of coriander (coriandrum sativum) to cattle manure and nitrogen fixing bacteria, an experiment was conducted as factorial experiment in the base of randomized complete blocks design with twelve treatments and three replications at homand research station in damavand of iran in 2010. the factors were cattle manure i...
