Application of rpoB sequence similarity analysis, REP-PCR and BOX-PCR for the differentiation of species within the genus Geobacillus
(2008)Aim: To investigate the applicability of rpoB gene, which encodes the beta subunit of RNA polymerase, to be used as an alternative to 16S rRNA for sequence similarity analysis in the thermophilic genus Geobacillus. Rapid ... -
Current and potential uses of composted olive oil waste
(2007)Food industry will have to focus on waste avoidance as well as utilisation of process waste. Application of clean technologies greatly enhances the safety and quality of the product as well as reducing the energy requirements ... -
Degradation and Adsorption of Pesticides in Compost-Based Biomixtures as Potential Substrates for Biobeds in Southern Europe
(2010)Biobeds have been used in northern Europe for minimizing point source contamination of water resources by pesticides. However, little is known regarding their use in southern Europe where edaphoclimatic conditions and ... -
The dissipation of three fungicides in a biobed organic substrate and their impact on the structure and activity of the microbial community
(2013)Biopurification systems (BPS) have been introduced to minimise the risk for point source contamination of natural water resources by pesticides. Their depuration efficiency relies mostly on the high biodegradation of their ... -
The effect of climate change on floods in British Columbia
(1999)A hydrological modelling of the flood response of two watersheds to climate change are presented. The two study watersheds are the Upper Campbell and the Illecillewaet watersheds located in British Columbia. The first ... -
Effects of aluminum and moisture levels on aluminum bioaccumulation and protein content in the earthworm Octodrilus complanatus
(2013)Laboratory experiments were conducted to determine the effects of soil aluminum levels and moisture content on aluminum (Al) bioaccumulation and protein content in the earthworm (Octodrilus complanatus). The experimental ... -
EFFECTS OF BIOSOLIDS APPLICATION ON SWEET SORGHUM BIOMASS, WATER USE EFFICIENCY AND ETHANOL PRODUCTION
(2013)The effects of biosolids application to sweet sorghum crop were examined during the years 2009-2011 at Central Greece. Considering sweet sorghum as a possible alternative crop for biomass and bio-ethanol production in ... -
Effects of different N fertilizers on the activity of Glomus mosseae and on grapevine nutrition and berry composition
(2007)Grapevine N fertilization may affect and be affected by arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungal colonization and change berry composition. We studied the effects of different N fertilizers on AM fungal grapevine root colonization ... -
Effects of organic and inorganic amendments on weed management in sweet maize
(2012)Field experiments were conducted to determine the effects of organic and inorganic amendments on weed suppression in sweet maize cultivation (Zea mays L.). A randomized complete block design was employed with four replicates ... -
Effects of treated municipal wastewater on the essential nutrients interactions in the plant of Brassica oleracea var. Italica
(2009)The effects of the treated municipal wastewater (TMWW) on the essential nutrients interactions in the various plant parts of Brassica oleracea var. Italica (Broccoli) was studied, in comparison to the fresh irrigation ... -
Emerging technologies in bioremediation: constraints and opportunities
(2012)Intensive industrialisation, inadequate disposal, large-scale manufacturing activities and leaks of organic compounds have resulted in long-term persistent sources of contamination of soil and groundwater. This is a major ... -
Evaluation of toxic and interactive toxic effects of three agrochemicals and copper using a battery of microbiotests
(2009)Three commonly used test organisms of different trophic levels (Vibrio fischeri, Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata and Daphnia magna) were exposed to selected agrochemicals (fosthiazate, metalaxyl-M, imidacloprid) and copper, ... -
Exploring the potential of biobeds for the depuration of pesticide-contaminated wastewaters from the citrus production chain: Laboratory, column and field studies
(2012)The high wastewater volumes produced during citrus production at pre- and post-harvest level presents serious pesticide point-source pollution for groundwater bodies. Biobeds are used for preventing such point-source ... -
Fruit Volatiles, Quality, and Yield of Watermelon as Affected by Grafting
(2014)The aim of the present study was to examine the effect of grafting of watermelon hybrids 'Obla F-1' and 'Vanessa F-1' on to Cucurbita maxima x Cucurbita moschata rootstock TZ 148 and Lagenaria sp. rootstock 'Dias F-1', on ... -
Impact of a beneficial and of a pathogenic Fusarium strain on the fingerprinting-based structure of microbial communities in tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Milll.) rhizosphere
(2011)Fusarium solani strain FsK (FsK), isolated from a plant pathogen-suppressive compost, grows endophytically in tomato roots and controls infestations by Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. radicis-lycopersici (FORL). The effect of ... -
The impact of biological pesticides on arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi
(2012)Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi have a key role for plant nutrition in organic farming systems where crop protection relies on biopesticides. Although these are considered safe, their effects on non-target organisms, ... -
Influence of different organic amendments on the degradation, metabolism, and adsorption of terbuthylazine
(2007)The behavior of the herbicide terbuthulazine (TA) was studied in a clay loam soil after the addition of the addition of different organic amendments (OAs). Addition of poultry compost (PC) and urban sewage sludge (USS) ... -
