Superoxide dismutase (SOD, E.C.1.15.1.1) converts superoxide to hydrogen peroxide, therefore important in prevention of oxygen toxicity produced by several environmental stresses. In the present work, the effect of water deficit on the activity of SOD isoenzymes in roots and shoots of 10 day-old seedlings of seven wheat cultivars was studied. Bread wheat varieties showed different responses, while a general decrease in the SOD isoenzyme activity was observed in a durum variety. The obtained data suggest that: i. Under similar stress conditions, mitochondrial and cytosolic SOD isoenzymes respond differently, ii. Drought stress may increase isoenzyme activity of SOD in the tolerant and adaptive varieties, while causing a decrease in the sensitive varieties.

Effect of nutrients on culture dynamics of marine phytoplankton Eker-Develi, E; Kıdeyş, Ahmet Erkan; TUĞRUL, SÜLEYMAN (2006-01-01) The effects of nitrate, ammonium and phosphate on the abundance, chlorophyll a content (chl a), in vivo fluorescence, particulate organic carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus and cell morphology of the diatom Skeletonema costatum, the dinoflagellate Prorocentrum micans and the coccolithophore Emiliania huxleyi were investigated in the laboratory. The carbon:chlorophyll a ratio (as weight), a parameter often used in productivity estimates, differed substantially among the three species as well as at different nutrie...
Effect of acclimatization of microorganisms to heavy metals on the performance of activated sludge process Ozbelge, Tulay A.; Özbelge, Hilmi Önder; Altinten, Pinar (Elsevier BV, 2007-04-02) Although selected heavy metals (HMs) stimulate biological reactions at low concentrations, all HMs are toxic to microorganisms (MOs) at moderate concentrations and can cause inhibitory effects on the biological processes. Therefore, MOs must be acclimated to HMs or other toxic substances present in wastewaters (WWs) before they are used in an activated sludge process (ASP). In this study, combined effect of Cu2+ and Zn2+ ions in a synthetic WW on the efficiency of a laboratory- scale ASP without recycle was...
Effects of heavy metals on activated sludge process Dilek, Filiz Bengü; Yetiş, Ülkü (1992-01-01) The purpose of this study was to evaluate the toxic effects nf various heavy metals on activated sludge process. Different concentrations of Cu(II) (0.5, 1.0, 5.0, and 10.0 mg/l), Ni(II) (5.0, 10.0, 25.0 mg/l), and Cr(VI) (1.0, 5.0, 10.0, 25.0, 50.0 mg/l) were maintained in a laboratory-scale completely mixed activated sludge unit, without recycle, treating simulated wastewater. The feed solution contained 650 mg/l protein (corresponding to 1300 mg/l COD) as a source nf carbon. Experimental results indicate...
Influence of nickel (II) and chromium (VI) on the laboratory scale rotating biological contactor Taseli, B. K.; Gökçay, Celal Ferdi; Gurol, A. (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2008-09-01) High concentration of heavy metals is toxic for most microorganisms and cause strict damage in wastewater treatment operations and often a physico-chemical pretreatment prior to biological treatment is considered necessary. However, in this study it has been shown that biological systems can adapt to Ni (II) and Cr (VI) when their concentration is below 10 and 20 mg/L, respectively. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of Ni (II) and Cr (VI) on the lab-scale rotating biological contactor process...
Effect of High Temperature on Swellable Organically Modified Silica (SOMS) and Its Application for Preferential CO Oxidation in H-2 Rich Environment Basu, Dishari; Ailawar, Saurabh; Çelik, Gökhan; Edmiston, Paul; Ozkan, Umit S. (Wiley, 2020-07-01) Transition metal oxide catalysts tend to deactivate in the presence of moisture during hydrogen purification using preferential oxidation (PROX) of carbon monoxide (CO) . Thus, novel water-tolerant catalysts need to be developed. Herein, the evolution of heat treated swellable organically-modified silica (SOMS), a hydrophobic organic-inorganic hybrid material, has been characterized and applied as a catalyst support for PROX under moisture-rich conditions. While the SOMS-supported cobalt manganese oxide was...
