Enzymological characterization of the sapropelic muds in the lakes Ocna Sibiului.
Journal Title: Extreme Life, Biospeology & Astrobiology - International Journal of the Bioflux Society - Year 2010, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Besides purely scientific interest, the spa waters and therapeutic muds consecrated research have a remarkable practical importance. The evaluation of the water and therapeutical muds’s physicochemical, microbiological and enzymological potential constitutes a remarkable instrument with very high utility to the balneotherapy specialists.

Microbial production of poly-β-hydroxybutyrates -an overview
Efficient poly-β-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) production represents an actual preoccupation of fundamental research from current biotechnology. Since PHB production out of renewable sources has a positive environmental impact a...
Microorganisms isolated from subsurface environments and their importance for astrobiology and theoretical biology.
Objective: the article is a review of the very controversial microbial life in subsurface environments like caves, rocks, mines, deep subsurface water and springs, in very special extreme environments. Material and Metho...
Describing head shapes of white stem borers (Schirpophaga innotata Walker) that are able to survive on different rice types using Landmark based geometric morphometrics
Rice stem borers are considered as the most serious insect pest of rice in Asia. It infects its plant host by burrowing into the stem using its mandible. However, apart from the mandible, the head of rice stem borers is...
The influence of shielded magnetic field on the cell viability and nitrogenase activity of Azotobacter chroococcum.
This paper studies the magnetic field influence on the viability of zotobacter chroococcum 2286T cells. The viability of the Azotobacter chroococcum cells incubated under shielded magnetic field was established accordin...
