Anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) is both a promising process in wastewater treatment and a long overlooked microbial physiology that can contribute significantly to biological nitrogen cycling in the world's oceans. Anammox is mediated by a monophyletic group of bacteria that branches deeply in the Planctomycetales. Here we describe a new genus and species of anaerobic ammonium oxidizing ...

Aim Land-use change and overexploitation are major threats to biodiversity, climate will exert additional pressure in the 21st century. Although there strong interactions between these threats, our understanding of synergistic compensatory effects on threatened species' range geography remains limited. Our aim was disentangle impact habitat loss, hunting species, using example endangered Chacoa...

Research highlights: In the present survey we examined sandy grasslands appearing in steppe-forest-steppe vegetation central part of Carpathian Basin along Danube. Background and objectives: We aimed to answer following questions: Is it possible build a picture past form through examination these units based on dominant grass taxa? Festuca wagneri an element open or steppes? According our hypot...

background: mercury (hg) is considered a global pollutant because hg0 which is the predominant form of atmospheric hg resides in the atmosphere for as long as 0.5 to 2 years. mercury has many negative effects on the reproductive, respiratory, and immune systems. methods: in this study, 24 caspian lampreys (caspiomyzon wagneri) were transported to the university laboratory and then stored in -20...
