Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTraditional Aquaculture Practice at East Calcutta Wetland: The Safety AssessmentS. Raychaudhuri, M. Mishra, S. Salodkar et al.The current study is on East Calcutta Wetland (ECW) which is a model for multi-use resource recovery system with activities like pisciculture and agriculture. The entire city's soluble waste is disposed into the raw sewage canals which finally drains into the shallow, flat bottom fish ponds called Bheri. These sewage fed fisheries act simultaneously for the purification process like removal … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Apr 2008 · 9,442 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTrace Metal Mercury Levels in Residential Homes in KuwaitL. AL-Awadi, A. R. Khan, R. Al-KandariKuwait is an oil rich state on the northeastern corner of Arabian Peninsula and has faced the unprecedented man made environmental disaster in early 1991 of igniting over 600 oil wells those continually burnt for a period of over six months. The use of crude and heavy fuel oil in the power generating facilities has aggravated the pollution due to … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 29 Feb 2008 · 6,833 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStudies on Metal Microbe Interaction of Three Bacterial Isolates From East Calcutta WetlandV. K. Adarsh, Madhusmita Mishra, Sanhita Chowdhury et al.The present paper put forth the isolation and complete characterization of three bacterial isolates from different sites of East Calcutta Wetland (ECW). These isolates show tolerance to heavy metals like Ag, Al, Cu, Cr, Co, Ni, Pb and were found to be efficient metal accumulators as evident from Energy Dispersive X Ray Fluorescence (EDXRF) analysis and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 31 Dec 2007 · 9,431 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMorphological and Structural Reaction of Avena sativa Seedlings to the Effects of Nano and Microparticles of ZincArailym Serikbai, Aidar Aitkulov, Anna Stanco et al.Kazakhstan has a well-developed mining and metallurgical industry, which produces macroand nanoparticles of heavy metals, including zinc emitted to the environment. The nanoscale particles have a different biological activity, which requires some additional research. The effects of various concentrations of zinc macroparticles and nanoparticles on the anatomical structure of oat seedlings (Avena sativa L.) and their accumulation in vegetative organs … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 24, Issue 4 · 9 Jul 2024 · 4,410 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTRANSPIRATION INFLUENCES CADMIUM UPTAKE BY BABY LEAF SPINACH (SPINACIA OLERACEA L.)Carlo Chehine, Paul Holford, Oula Ghannoum et al.Cadmium (Cd) is a toxic heavy metal whose concentration in soils is rising. This study investigated the effect of transpiration on Cd uptake by plants using soil conditions akin to those experienced by field crops. Two experiments were performed using baby leaf spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) grown in soil containing Chloride (Cl) at a typical concentration of 70 mg kg-1. … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 23 Dec 2014 · 8,066 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMULTI-TRAITS OF NON-PATHOGENIC FLUORESCENT PSEUDOMONAS AND EVALUATION OF THEIR POTENTIEL AS BIOCONTROL AGENTSMehri Inès, Turki Yousra, Ben Rajeb Asma et al.In recent years, certain strains of fluorescent pseudomonads called PGPB have drawn attention due to their abilities to promote plant growth. Therefore, in this investigation, we have explored the adhesive properties, the phytostimulator effects and the biocontrol activities of 40 isolates, with the aim to select potential inoculants to improve crop yields. Ten different colony morphotypes were detected on CRA … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 16 Apr 2014 · 7,241 accessesView PDFCite
