Adaptation of Rice to Anaerobiosis

Australian Journal of Plant Physiology, 1974
Responses of established rice plants to anaerobiosis were examined by flushing nitrogen through culture solutions. Although shoot growth was not affected, anaerobiosis reduced root dry weight and caused shortening and increased branching of roots. Oxygen uptake, CO2 evolution and respiratory quotient of excised apical root tissue were lower for plants ...

The Utilization of Glycogen and Accumulation of Some Intermediates During Anaerobiosis in Mytilus edulis L. [PDF]

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part B: Comparative Biochemistry, 1972
1. 1. Glycogen degradation in the mussel under anaerobic conditions was measured at two temperatures. Glycogen decrease at 6·6°C was about 3 mg and at 20°C about 6 mg/24 hr per mussel. A Pasteur effect was observed. 2. 2.

Anaerobiosis of fluid mud

Nature, 1976
OBSERVATIONS in estuaries have reported the existence of ephemeral deposits of semi-fluid mud1,2 extending several metres from the bottom. These muds differ from ‘mud’ as normally understood in that although they form definite boundaries with the overlaying water mass they have a lower solid content and settle, if at all, only very slowly.

Anaerobiosis and Sodium Accumulation

Nature, 1961
ACCUMULATION of most cations by higher plants is considered to be an aerobic process. However, we now find that sodium is in part an exception to this generalization. Uptake of sodium by 6-day old plants of Hordeum vulgare, variety Atlas 46, occurs under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions.

Plant responses to anaerobiosis

Plant Science, 1993
Abstract Plant life is greatly impaired under conditions of oxygen deficit. Only few plants can grow in waterlogged soils, thanks to anatomical adaptation allowing the transport of oxygen to the submerged parts of the plant. The behaviour of a few plant species able to germinate under completely anoxic conditions can be explained only by assuming ...

Invertebrate Facultative Anaerobiosis

Science, 1972
The unique pattern of anaerobic carbohydrate metabolism in invertebrate facultative anaerobes serves to couple other substrate-level phosphorylations to the glycolytic reactions, thus increasing the potential yield of high-energy phosphate compounds. Currently, two important coupling sites can be identified:

Anaerobiosis in Marine Sandy Beaches

Science, 1960
Organisms living at depths greater than 5 to 10 cm in marine beaches composed of fine sand are completely anaerobic whenever their particular section of beach is covered by water. Anaerobic conditions are continuous if the slope of the beach is slight enough so that capillary forces keep the sand saturated with water even at low tide.

THE ROLE OF ANAEROBIOSIS IN ASYMBIOTIC NITROGEN FIXATION

Canadian Journal of Microbiology, 1967
Microbial fixation of atmospheric nitrogen was measured in soil amended with ground wheat straw and incubated at two moisture levels (field capacity and waterlogged). Fixation equivalent to 42–52 kg/ha in the soil at field capacity and 13–150 kg/ha in the waterlogged soil was observed using 15N techniques when the soil was amended with 1% straw or ...

Role of anaerobiosis in virulence of Salmonella typhimuirium

Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry, 2000
Intestinal pathogens are exposed to various stress conditions during their infectious cycle. Anaerobiosis, one of such hostile condition, is offered by the host within gut and intestinal lumen, where survival, multiplication and entry into intestinal epithelial cells is priority for the invading pathogen.

The influence of anaerobiosis on the activity of fosfomycin trometamol

Infection, 1992
MICs of fosfomycin trometamol were estimated for 40 strains of bacteria (20 gram-positive cocci, 20 gram-negative bacilli) by the agar incorporation method (Iso-Sensitest agar) in the presence of the potentiating agent, glucose-6-phosphate (25 mg/l). Titrations were carried out in duplicate under aerobic and anaerobic conditions.
