Biogeochemical processes mediated by microorganisms in river sediments (hyporheic sediments) play a key role in river metabolism. Because biogeochemical reactions in the hyporheic zone are often limited to the top few decimetres of sediments below the water-sediment interface, slow filtration

A study was conducted to investigate the sediment health and water quality of the River Sagana, Kenya, as impacted by the local tanning industry. Chemical analysis identified the main chemical pollutants (pentachlorophenols and chromium) while a bioassay addressed pollutant bioavailability.

Diethyl pyrocarbonate (DEPC), a histidine-modifying reagent, has been utilized to demonstrate the importance of histidine residues in the functioning of proteins. In previous studies of the NADPH oxidase, histidine residues have been determined to be important in the ability of
The properties of the recombinant ferredoxin-dependent glutamate synthase of Synechocystis PCC6803 were determined by means of kinetic and spectroscopic approaches in comparison to those exhibited by the bacterial NADPH-dependent enzyme form. The ferredoxin-dependent enzyme was found to be similar to

Anaerobic biodegradability of organic compounds can be assessed from the changes in organic compounds, the end products, and the activity of microorganisms. In this study, all three of these variables were considered to integrate assessment of the anaerobic biodegradability of
