Nitrogen fixation

In the book the “German Genius” by Peter Watson, two series of events are documents that’s takes the works of several scientist and connects them to increasing importance of science in Germany as well as Germany’s growth as an economic power. One enzyme for the growth of science in Germany is shown in chapter 18 called the Rise of the Laboratory: Siemens, Hofmann, Bayer, Zeiss. This chapter follows the chain reactions of how cheaper purple dye allowed the production of aspirin all the way to the…

Unknown Bacteria 228 Adisney Pino Professor Dowding Miami Dade College Section T/R 7:05PM Introduction Enterobacter aerogenes is rod-shaped bacteria that belongs in the family of Enterobacteriaceae. This rod-shaped bacterium is gram negative which makes it a facultative anaerobe which grew perfectly in 37-degree temperature. This species was motile and therefore it can synthesize an enzyme known as ornithine decarboxylase. This bacterium is prevalent in the intestines of animals…

other. This helps to reduce disease outbreaks, in particular, a destructive fungus known as rice blast disease which could destroy a farmer’s crop even before the rice grains form (Tan). Other traditional practices include legume crops for nitrogen fixation, crop rotations, terracing and the use of diverse crop varieties. (Cook). A non-ecofriendly agricultural practice used by farmers in China today is the use of pesticides and chemical…

When the world thinks of New Zealand, they think of clean beautiful waterways, its clean green image and of course, the agriculture, but on the contrary this is actually the opposite. This false image brings in thousands of tourists every single year, benefiting immensely economically. Among tourism, the dairy industry is the biggest economic trade, earning the country around $13.7 billion NZ dollars in export alone. Dairy export in New Zealand goes way back, in 1882 we were the first country to…

The Mode of Inheritance in Nicotiana Tabacu seeds and Albinism Introduction In plants, the chloroplast is an essential organelle for a plant cell’s primary metabolism. Productions such as CO2 fixation, manufacture of carbon skeletons and fatty acids, and synthesis of amino acids from inorganic nitrogen that is important for a plant to live and thrive. (Liu, Li, & Cheng, 2016) In addition, the chloroplast is responsible for producing the color pigment in plants because chloroplast produces a…

sources of energy, this essay will use one example of renewable energy source to present its argument. Bio-fuels will be used as a reference. Bio-fuels are those fuels which have geological energy from recent carbon fixation. Bio-fuels are produced from living organisms. The carbon fixation takes place in microalgae and plants. Bio-fuels are via conversion of biomass, recent living organisms. Biomass can form convenient energy that is composed of substances is different ways such as chemical…

Pollution is one of the most serious problems that affect our environment, and its effects on all life aspects are clear to everyone. Because of this, pollution is one of the most serious issues that all the word countries are concerned about. As time goes, the pollution problem increases and also the population growth increase. The increase in demand for water and food supplies place an increasing stress on the ground and surface water quality and quantity. One of the environmental problems…

World War II was fought from 1939-1945. Those of the Jewish faith were treated poorly with Zyklon B helping kill them, which did involved many others with WWII. Zyklon B played a role that killed millions of jews and many others which created a mass destruction called the Holocaust. Zyklon B is a pesticide that is in the form of small blue tablets. This pesticide was used for disinfecting ships, barracks, clothing, warehouses, factories, granaries, and many more. Zyklon B was used for…

oil under stress conditions with slow growth rate. Hu et al. (2008) reported that neutral lipids content, mainly in the form of triacylglycerol (ATG), double or triple increased when the cells were subjected to unfavorable culture conditions. The nitrogen limitation also could increase the oil content in Neochloris oleoabundans (Li et al., 2008) and five Chlorella strains including Chlorella vulgaris, Chlorella emersonii, Chlorella protothecoides, Chlorella sorokiniana and Chlorella…

important is because it is necessary for photosynthesis. Iron is an electron transport in chloroplasts. While Iron is present in small amounts and few sources it is necessary in the ocean for photosynthesis. The enzymes in cyanobacteria help perform nitrogen fixation this information has become very controversial because of lack of efficiency it might entail. Questions such as when will we notice the removal of primary productivity or will we are able to stop once we start fertilizing the ocean…
