Mycelial biomass estimation and metabolic quotient of Lentinula edodes using species-specific qPCR. [PDF]
PLoS One, 2020 Lentinula edodes, commonly known as shiitake, is an edible mushroom that is cultivated and consumed around the globe, especially in Asia. Monitoring mycelial growth inside a woody substrate is difficult, but it is essential for effective management of mushroom cultivation.

A metabolic quotient for methanogenic Archaea
Water Science and Technology, 2012 Biogas production from renewable resources is an alternative to generate energy and concomitantly save fossil fuels and mitigate greenhouse gas emissions. As methanogenesis is a major bottleneck in the biogas process, the determination of the specific activity of methanogenic Archaea can be a good indicator of the process state.

Global pattern and controls of soil microbial metabolic quotient
Ecological Monographs, 2017 AbstractThe microbial metabolic quotient (MMQ), microbial respiration per unit of biomass, is a fundamental factor controlling heterotrophic respiration, the largest carbon flux in soils. The magnitude and controls of MMQ at regional scale remain uncertain.

Acta Agriculturae Scandinavica - Section B Soil and Plant Science, 2017 The study was conducted to determine how biochar as a soil amendment maintained the microbial community in pesticide contaminated soils. Alfisol (Adenta series – Typic Kandiustalf) and Vertisol (Akuse series – Typic Calciustert) were amended with biochar

The stoichiometry of soil microbial biomass determines metabolic quotient of nitrogen mineralization
Environmental Research Letters, 2020 Soil nitrogen (N) mineralization is crucial for the sustainability of available soil N and hence ecosystem productivity and functioning. Metabolic quotient of N mineralization ( Q _min ), which is defined as net soil N mineralization per unit of soil ...

Effect of forestry practices on the biological characteristics of soils (Case study: Beech Forest of Asalem) [PDF]
مدلسازی و مدیریت آب و خاک, 2022 Introduction In forest management, it is essential to maintain soil performance. Forest soils control and support many forest ecosystem services and tree growth. So, maintaining soil health is critical to sustainable forest management.

Resting Metabolic Rate and Respiratory Quotient in Human Longevity [PDF]
The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, 2005 Significant changes in body composition, body fat distribution, and resting metabolic rate (RMR) occur with aging. Interestingly, studies on human longevity pointed out that long-lived subjects are less prone to the anthropometrics and metabolic derangement normally observed in the elderly.

The influence of malnutrition on the postprandial metabolic rate and respiratory quotient [PDF]
British Journal of Nutrition, 1972 1. Pre- and post-prandial metabolic rates were measured in twelve malnourished Jamaican infants.2. On admission to hospital, minimal increase in postprandial metabolic rate were found, whereas during the recovery phase when growth was rapid, inreases in postprandial metabolic rate of up to 38% occurred.3.

AN APPARATUS FOR THE STUDY OF RESPIRATORY QUOTIENT AND BASAL METABOLISM OF MICE [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Medicine, 1930 A simple apparatus has been developed for the study of the respiratory quotient and basal metabolism of mice. Data are given which indicate that the values for the respiratory quotient obtained are accurate to within 0.02. The apparatus is especially designed for rapid, routine manipulation.
