The objective of this study was to quantify the coverage Kariba weed (Salvinia molesta) on lakes Kyoga and Kwania document environmental socio-economic impacts associated with its infestation. Data infestation status collected in 2017 compared pre-infestation period 2013. Weed infestations were approximately 15,643 13,688 ha respectively. impaired fishing activities, water quality, abstraction ...

Abstract: Aim Evaluate the structure of aquatic macrophytes assembly Jacarecica II Dam, Areia Branca, Sergipe, and verify if distance from margin is a driver for species richness, composition in this environment. Methods We settled transects where we plotted quadrats subplots. The were perpendicular relation to reservoir margin, first quadrat was placed on with four following ones completely ov...

Prevalence of various aquatic vegetation and their role in supporting vector breeding were studied by drawing plant samples from natural fresh water habitats in Shertallai region which is endemic for Brugia malayi. As many as 30 aquatic plant species were identified in addition to the most abundant and preferred host plants such as Pistia stratiotes, Salvinia molesta and Eichhornia crassipes wh...

Plankton communities and macrofauna associated to aquatic macrophyte stands in a shallow water-supply reservoir (21°14'09″S; 48°18'38″W) on an aquaculture farm were compared to evaluate the relationship between organism densities and some abiotic features of the reservoir. Water and communities associated were sampled at two sites, one in an area with the predominance of Eichhornia azurea (Sw.)...

The ability of seven species of aquatic plants (Elodea canadensis, Najas guadelupensis, Vallisneria spiralis L., Riccia fluitans L., Limnobium laevigatum, Pistia stratiotes L., and Salvinia natans L.) to absorb metal nanoparticles from colloidal solutions was studied. It was established that investigated aquatic plants have a high capacity for removal of metal nanoparticles from aqueous solutio...

The work describes the flora of higher sporeless vascular plants (superdivision Bryobionta, divisions Marhantiophyta, Bryophyta) and spore (divisions Lycopodiophyta, Equisetophyta, Psilotophyta, Polypodiophyta) Poltava region, analyzed peculiarities its systematic taxonomic composition. As a result research, it was established that bryobiont includes 167 species, 87 genus, 43 families. Lycopodi...

Bacterial adhesion to surfaces is the first step in biofilm formation, which leads development of conditions that may compromise health status patients. Surface modification has been proposed reduce bacterial biomaterials. The objective this work was assess and compare Streptococcus mutans surface biomimetically-modified stainless steel using different topographies. Stainless plates were modifi...
