Sentences with phrase «for microbial activity»
In the case of the cyanobacterial mat - covered polygonal ponds on Bylot Island, the negative CO2 flux most likely resulted from high photosynthetic rates in the mats, and the modern dates for CH4 suggest that abundant labile compounds coming from a modern autochthonous pool could be the main C supply for microbial activity, including methanogenesis.

They sent soil samples for DNA testing, looking for matches with particular genes known to be found in microbes and fungi; they tried to stimulate microbial growth on a wide variety of substances and then count the cells produced; and they used highly sensitive radiorespiration activity assays, which involve feeding the soil microorganisms a food source which has been labelled with radioactive carbon, which can then be used to detect if the microorganisms are active.
Viral infections simultaneously reduce the amount of nutrients and materials available to larger organisms by killing microbial cells, but also stimulate microbial activity through the release of organic matter and nutrients, which provides increased biomass available for larger organisms including fish.»
While a core microbiota of the same bacteria was present in all areas of the mock - up spacecraft, the authors noticed specific bacterial signatures for each individual area, or module, indicating that — much like in other indoor environments — microbial presence is associated with human presence as well as the type of activity that an area is used for.
If, for example, it turns out the extra CO2 released during El Niño is largely due to microbial activity in soils and decomposing plant material, Malhi says, «I wouldn't expect it to last» as the world warms further.
Brussels, Belgium, 9 December 2016 — A Canadian researcher, Dr. Lori Ziolkowski, has been awarded the prestigious $ 150,000 Baillet Latour Antarctica Fellowship for her proposal to study radiocarbon estimates of microbial activity and carbon accumulation surrounding the Princess Elisabeth Antarctica Research Station.
