Morphological, Pathogenic and Toxigenic Variability in the Rice Sheath Rot Pathogen Sarocladium Oryzae [PDF]
Sheath rot is an emerging rice disease that leads to considerable yield losses. The main causal agent is the fungus Sarocladium oryzae. This pathogen is known to produce the toxins cerulenin and helvolic acid, but their role in pathogenicity has not been

Downy mildew: is resistance linked to inoculum concentration?
Leaves of different Vitis vinifera cultivars, susceptible (‘Chasselas’ and ‘2185’), less susceptible (‘2142’) or resistant to downy mildew ('Solaris’ and ‘2091’), were inoculated with four different concentrations of an aqueous sporangia suspension of Plasmopara viticola (5 × 105, 2 × 105, 6 × 104 and 2 × 104 sporangia·ml-1).

Effect of Inoculum Concentration and Pretreatment on Biomethane Recovery From Cotton Gin Trash
The potential of cotton gin waste, a considerable challenge to the gin owners, has not been fully investigated as a renewable energy source via anaerobic digestion. The weathered cotton gin trash and inoculum for triplicate biomethane potential assays were obtained from a local cotton gin mill and a municipal wastewater treatment plant, respectively ...

Environmentally Relevant Inoculum Concentrations Improve the Reliability of Persistent Assessments in Biodegradation Screening Tests [PDF]
Standard OECD biodegradation screening tests (BSTs) have not evolved at the same rate as regulatory concerns, which now place an increased emphasis on environmental persistence. Consequently, many chemicals are falsely assigned as being potentially persistent based on results from BSTs.

Anaerobic digestate as substrate for microalgae culture: the role of ammonium concentration on the microalgae productivity [PDF]
In spite of the increasing interest received by microalgae as potential alternatives for biofuel production, the technology is still not industrially viable.

Effect of inoculum and sludge concentration on viscosity evolution of anaerobic granular sludges
The rheological behaviour of granular sludges (diameter 20–315 μm) originating from different anaerobic reactors was carried out using rotation tests. The sieved granular sludges suspensions display a non-Newtonian rheological behaviour and the limit viscosity was therefore used as a rheological parameter. The values obtained, which depend on the shear

Temperature effects on methanogenesis and sulfidogenesis during anaerobic digestion of sulfur-rich macroalgal biomass in sequencing batch reactors [PDF]
Methanogenesis and sulfidogenesis, the major microbial reduction reactions occurring in the anaerobic digestion (AD) process, compete for common substrates.

Bio-hythane production from food waste by dark fermentation coupled with anaerobic digestion process: A long-term pilot scale experience [PDF]
In this paper are presented the results of the investigation on optimal process operational conditions of thermophilic dark fermentation and anaerobic digestion of food waste, testing a long term run, applying an organic loading rate of 16.3 kgTVS/m3d in
