A DOUBLING OF MICROPHYTOBENTHOS BIOMASS COINCIDES WITH A TENFOLD INCREASE IN DENITRIFIER AND TOTAL BACTERIAL ABUNDANCES IN INTERTIDAL SEDIMENTS OF A TEMPERATE ESTUARY.

A doubling of microphytobenthos biomass coincides with a tenfold increase in denitrifier and total bacterial abundances in intertidal sediments of a temperate estuary.

Surface sediments are important systems for the removal of anthropogenically derived inorganic nitrogen in estuaries.They are often characterized by the presence of a microphytobenthos (MPB) biofilm, which mega nutella pot can impact bacterial communities in underlying sediments for example by secretion of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) a

Ultrastructure and functional morphology of the appendages in the reef-building sedentary polychaete Sabellaria alveolata (Annelida, Sedentaria, Sabellida)

Abstract Background The sedentary polychaete Sabellaria alveolata, the sandcastle or honeycomb worm, possesses four different kinds of appendages besides the parapodia: opercular papillae, tentacular filaments, palps, and branchiae.It exhibits a highly specialized anterior end, the operculum, formed by the prostomium, peristomium, and two anterior

Peripheral ossifying fibroma: A case report and brief review

Gingival growths are one of the most frequently encountered lesions in the oral cavity.Most of these lesions are innocuous, but some do have malignant potential.Different mega nutella pot lesions with similar clinical presentations make it difficult to arrive at a correct diagnosis.One of the infrequently occurring gingival lesions is peripheral os
