With some research and industry interviews, the piece shows how Michigan could emerge as a leader in algae biofuel production, and why that is a good idea. Michigan has water resources and a scheme to protect this resource. Michigan can use this resource advantage in a responsible manner, ...
At each site, an additional 1-L water sample was taken (and stored at 4 °C) for laboratory analysis of the chemical parameters and food resources (algae, detritus). Total nitrogen (TN) and phosphorus (TP) were determined according to APHA (1998) and dissolved organic matter (DOM) ...
78.63%, and 88.60%, respectively). Notable findings include a negative correlation between GST and water temperature (r = − 0.57) at Anza. In Aourir, CAT exhibited a positive correlation with rainfall and dissolved oxygen (r = 0.78 andr...
Why are red algae important to coral reefs? Why do veins collapse when drawing blood? Why is the diving reflex important in both humans and aquatic mammals? Why do sand flies bite? Why is the ocean water more salty in the subtropics?
Does amoeba eat algae? Can you get a brain-eating amoeba from well water? What causes eye-eating amoeba? Can amoeba live in tap water? Can you get a brain-eating amoeba from swimming? Is water a form of an amoeba? Where is an amoeba moving to? How does an amoeba digest food? How...
Diatomite, meanwhile, is made up oflayer upon layer of the fossilized shells of diatom, a type of algae. As diatomite is exceptionally water-absorbent, even sucking in moisture from the air, it is commonly used in construction materials and general consumer items. ...
For experiments with the sediment-dwelling amphipods, the saturated solutions with the precipitate were dosed to filtered (Pall VacuCap 90 Filter Unit, 0.45 µm) natural seawater at the desired total bioassay concentration. In contrast, toxicity testing of Al and the anode material to algae and...
Sediment pore-water can potentially supply the majority of nitrogen for sea- grass as the sediment contains higher concentrations of nitrogen than the water column does, but seagrasses will rapidly absorb DIN from the of rhizomes, meaning that a water small column24. Furthermore, increase in ...
How do you make a microcosm? Place sand, aquarium rocks or pebbles at the bottom for drainage. For closed terrariums, add ahalf-inch layer of horticultural charcoalon top to filter the air and keep it fresh. Add a layer of moss to let the water seep down while keeping the soil out of...
So how did Earth end up with an atmosphere made up of roughly 21 percent of the stuff? The answer is tiny organisms known as cyanobacteria, or blue-green algae. These microbesconduct photosynthesis: using sunshine, water and carbon dioxide to produce carbohydrates and, yes, oxygen. ...
