Persistence of the isoflavones formononetin and biochanin A in soil was investigated by HPLC analysis. Biochanin A disappeared more rapidly than formononetin in nonsterile soil. In soil planted with corn seedlings, the disappearance was dramamtic for both isoflavones. The results suggested that soil microbial populations were able to metabolize these isoflavones. The response of several microbial populations to isoflavone amendments was measured in soil samples obtained from Michigan potato fields. Results suggested that the isoflavones formononetin and biochanin A were able to stimulate the growth of soil microorganisms.

Patterns of dark respiration in aquatic systems Mantikci, Mustafa; Staehr, Peter A.; Hansen, Jorgen L. S.; Markager, Stiig (CSIRO Publishing, 2020-01-01) We used continuous measurements of dissolved oxygen (DO) in dark bottles to characterise patterns of the dark respiration rate (R-dark) for three marine phytoplankton monocultures and in natural-water samples from two marine coastal systems. Furthermore, patterns of ecosystem community respiration rate were determined from open-water changes in DO in a fjord and in a lake. We considered two models of R-dark to describe temporal changes in DO: constant R-dark and decreasing R-dark; increasing R-dark. In addi...
Distribution and abundance of ctenophores, and their zooplankton food in the Black Sea. I. Pleurobrachia pileus Mutlu, E; Bingel, F (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 1999-12-01) The distribution of Pleurobrachia pileus Muller, 1776 in the Black Sea was determined using plankton samples collected above the anoxic zone (maximum of 200 m) in the winter, spring, and summer of 1991 to 1995; The summer samples were collected in 1991 to 1993 (for a previous) and are included in this paper for comparative purposes. High concentrations of P. pileus were found at the northern edges of anticyclonic eddies along the southern coastal regions. The biomass and abundance of P. pileus increased fro...
A study of the relative dominance of selected anaerobic sulfate-reducing bacteria in a continuous bioreactor by fluorescence in situ hybridization İçgen, Bülent; Harrıson, S.T.L. (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2007-01-01) The diversity and the community structure of sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) in an anaerobic continuous bioreactor used for treatment of a sulfate-containing wastewater were investigated by fluorescence in situ hybridization. Hybridization to the 16S rRNA probe EUB338 for the domain Bacteria was performed, followed by a nonsense probe NON338 as a control for nonspecific staining. Sulfate-reducing consortia were identified by using five nominally genus-specific probes (SRB129 for Desulfobacter, SRB221 for De...
Modeling of catalytic ozonation process in a three-phase reactor Erol, Funda; Oezbelge, Tuelay A.; Oezbelge, H. Oender (Informa UK Limited, 2009-01-01) In this research, the main objective was to determine the flow characteristics of a three-phase reactor in order to use this knowledge in the modeling of catalytic ozonation of aqueous dye solutions. Therefore, the stimulus-response method was used in the tracer experiments; thus, the degree of liquid mixing in the reactor was estimated by means of residence time distribution, Peclet number and axial dispersion coefficient in the presence and the absence of the catalyst. Experimental data were obtained by p...
Pollen morphology of some taxa of Vicia L. subgenus Vicia (Fabaceae) from Turkey KAHRAMAN, AHMET; Binzat, Okan Kaan; Doğan, Musa (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2013-11-01) In this study, the pollen morphology of 11 taxa belonging to Atossa (Alef.) Asch. & Graebner, Hypechusa (Alef.) Asch. & Graebner, Peregrinae Kupicha, Wiggersia (Alef.) Maxted, Vicia L. and Narbonensis (Radzhi) Maxted sections of the genus Vicia L. subgenus Vicia (Fabeae, Fabaceae) naturally growing in Turkey has been studied using Light Microscopy (LM) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) to evaluate the taxonomic relevance of pollen characters. Twelve morphometric characters are analysed with one-way ana...
