The production of GFP was then measured on-line, the signal was interfaced directly with other controlling parameters, thereby allowing the microbial process to be controlled directly based on recombinant protein expression.
Thus, mat-covered sediments at MC118 have a disproportionately large contribution to microbial processes relative to their small areal coverage.
How do microbial processes contribute to larger-scale landform and landscape development?
Subsequently, microbial processes need to be included into mine rehabilitation practices, hypotheses, models, and interpretation of rehabilitation findings.
Soil salinization may negatively affect microbial processes related to carbon dioxide (CO2) and nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions.
These correlations indicate that the biogenic structure produced by P. laminata significantly influences soil N dynamics, and suggest that the soil micro-environment associated with large aggregates promotes microbial processes related to N dynamics, especially N2O production.
Our objective was: (1) to determine how two years of annual or perennial plant cover and CO2 enrichment could affect Mediterranean soil microbial processes; (2) to test the resistance and the resilience of these soil functional processes after a natural perturbation.
Since it correlates with the occurrence of syndepositional microbial micrite in the pore space below the phosphatic hardground in the lower part of the Bryozoan Limestone (Figs. 4d, 5d), this δC depletion can be well explained with microbial processes related to the hardground formation (Mutti and Bernoulli, 2003).
Where groundwater and lake composition are favorable, carbonate mineral precipitation, evaporative concentration of lake water, and microbial processes can combine to strongly deplete dissolved Ca relative to influent groundwaters.
