Age and growth of Buccinum undatum off Douglas (Isle of Man, U.K.)were studied using four independent methods: length-frequency analyses (LFA), operculum analysis (OA), mark-recapture experiment (MRE) and laboratory rearing (LR). Within the 16-month period between February 1989 and June 1990, only the January 1990 sample showed histograms allowing possible age group determination Among the several length frequency analyses applied to this sample, the growth analysis program MIX calculated that Buccinum reaches mean lengths of 28.5, 45.8, 59.9, 71.5 and 81.0 mm at the end of its first, second, third, fourth and fifth year, respectively, with an asymptotic length (L(infinity)) of 123.8 mm and Brody growth coefficient (K) of 0.20. Whilst the results from the LFA were supported by those from the OA and the MRE, growth in the laboratory differed; however, this was expected. Both K and L values found in this study are higher than those in two previous studies undertaken for Buccinum in northeastern England and northern France.

Exposure to sulfide causes populations shifts in sulfate-reducing consortia İçgen, Bülent (Elsevier BV, 2006-10-01) The shift in the community structure of a mixed culture of sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) at 0.5, 0.75, 1, and 1.5 kg m(-3) sulfide loadings was investigated in an anaerobic continuous bioreactor used for treatment of sulfate-containing wastewater by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), using SRB species-specific and group-specific 16S rRNA-targeting probes. Hybridization analysis using these 16S rRNA-targeted oligonucleotide probes revealed that sulfide was toxic for Desulfonema, Desulfobulbus spp. ...
Microarray studies in Bacillus subtilis Kocabaş, Pinar; Çalık, Pınar; Çalik, Güzide; Özdamar, Tunçer H. (Wiley, 2009-10-27) This review focuses on the construction of a global, comprehensive understanding of Bacillus subtilis through microarray studies. The microarray studies in B. subtilis were analysed based on the theme of the work, by mentioning the growth media, bioreactor operation conditions, RNA isolation method, number of data points analysed in exponential or stationary phases, compared genotypes, induction and repression ratios, investigated gene(s) and their positive and/or negative influences. Based on the theme and...
Nutritional and cultural parameters influencing antidipteran delta endotoxin production ÖZKAN, MELEK; Dilek, Filiz Bengü; Yetiş, Ülkü; Özcengiz, Gülay (Elsevier BV, 2003-01-01) In this study, various nutritional and cultural parameters influencing diptera-specific delta-endotoxin synthesis by Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. israelensis HD500 were investigated. Of various inorganic nitrogen sources, the highest yields of Cry11Aa and Cry4Ba proteins were obtained on (NH4)(2)HPO4. Among carbon sources, inulin, dextrin, maltose, lactose, sucrose, whey and glycerol were all stimulatory, while glucose, starch and molasses were suppressive. High concentrations of inorganic phosphate (50 to...
Morphology, anatomy and systematics of the genus Salvia l. (Lamiaceae) in East and Southeast Anatolia, Turkey Kahraman, Ahmet; Doğan, Musa; Department of Biology (2011) This study aims to revise the genus Salvia L. in East and Southeast Anatolia in Turkey on the basis of macromorphological, anatomical, palynological, mericarp micro-morphological, ecological and numerical analysis. Towards achieving this goal, about 2500 specimens of Salvia were collected and examined during extensive field studies between July 2005 and June 2009. The materials collected by other researchers either from Turkey or abroad were also investigated. The results of the taxonomic revision show that...
Boosted decision tree classifications of land cover over Turkey integrating MODIS, climate and topographic data EVRENDİLEK, FATİH; Gulbeyaz, O. (2011-01-01) This study investigates the impact of using different combinations of Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) and ancillary datasets on overall and per-class classification accuracies for nine land cover types modified from the classification system of the International Geosphere Biosphere Programme (IGBP). Twelve land cover maps were generated for Turkey using boosted decision trees (BDTs) based on the stepwise addition of 14 explanatory variables derived from a time series of 16-day MODIS co...
