Microalgae have major functions in global biogeochemical cycles and are promising sources of renewable energy, yet the relationships between algal hosts their associated microbiomes remain relatively underexplored. Understanding community organization microalgal microbiomes, such as how species identity influences bacterial structure, will aid efforts to engineer more efficient phototrophic ecosystems. Here, we examined assembly phycosphere-associated (attached) free-living taxa with two...
The need to develop standardized diets support zebrafish (Danio rerio) research is supported by the knowledge that specific dietary ingredients, nutrients, or antinutritional factors in have been shown affect development and growth of adult D. rerio their offspring. In this study, there were seven treatments consisting five commercially available two laboratory-prepared diets, three replicates per treatment. Fish fed ad libitum twice daily for 9 weeks. At weeks, both weight length recorded...
Zebrafish (Danio rerio) skeletal bone possesses properties similar to human bone, which suggests that they may be used as a model study mineralization characteristics of the Haversian system, well diseases. One prerequisite for use zebrafish an alternative osteoporotic is determine whether their displays functional plasticity observed in other models. Strontium citrate was supplemented into laboratory-prepared diet (45% crude protein) produce dietary strontium levels 0%, 0.63%, 1.26%, 1.89%,...
In this work, renewable composites were prepared by the association of a thermosetting resin synthesized via free-radical polymerization, using mixture tung oil, n-butyl methacrylate, and divinylbenzene, with silica-rich fillers, namely an algae biomass high silica content, well-sorted sand. Furthermore, to investigate if interaction between non-polar polar reinforcements could be improved, enhancing materials’ mechanical properties, itaconic anhydride, bio-derived molecule obtained from...
The current study evaluated transgenic cotton lines with normal levels of gossypol/terpenoids in the vegetative and floral tissues, but ultra-low gossypol seeds as a replacement for glandless cottonseed meal (GCSM) fishmeal. A 64-day growth trial ability meals from natural variety/mutant, two Ultra-low Gossypol Cottonseed (ULGCS) lines, non-transgenic parental control commercial variety, to replace 355 g kg−1 fishmeal diet containing 350 g kg−1 crude protein. Juvenile Litopenaeus vannamei...
ABSTRACT Accurate digestibility coefficients for protein, energy, and lipid are needed by feed formulators to optimize diets meet nutritional requirements substitute ingredients cost‐effectively. Of particular interest is which accounts the majority of shrimp content expense. The current study evaluated seven cottonseed meal protein products. Most samples were derived from a glandless cotton variety that lacks significant levels antinutritive compound, gossypol. various fractions apparent...
Abstract Biogeochemistry and productivity of algae-dominated environments is fundamentally influenced by the diversity activity bacteria. Namely, algicidal bacteria that prey on algal hosts can control elemental cycling host populations within outdoor ponds used for biofuel production. In this study, we describe genomic proteomic signatures a putative bacterium, Kordia sp. (family Flavobacteriaceae ), bloomed during population-wide crash diatom, Phaeodactylum tricornutum . This bloom...
the above eight land use categories. It is envisaged that a Year 2 CCBNEP project will model loadings of these pollutants based on variable conditions (e.g., wet/dry year, large/small storm) for watersheds and subwatersheds within study area. The report includes comprehensive geographic analysis contribution NPS to area an probable causes.
