Moisture doesn't last in the desert, which means the microbes have no time to waste. As soon as the rains come, these thread-like cyanobacteria instantly soak up the water and spring back to life. Most living things, including us, are full of water. Although we feel pretty solid, our bodies are made up of as much as 80% water, making us ...

Coastal sand dunes are a nutrient-limited ecosystem. The coastal dune ecosystem experiences severe stresses in the form of salt spray, sand burial, low moisture content, high light intensity, wind exposure, soil salinity, and nutrient deficiency (C, N, P, and K). Sand dune plants or psammophytes as they are called are naturally adapted to …

Microbially induced calcite precipitation (MICP) is a ground improvement method often driven by ureolytic bacteria to precipitate calcite in a soil mass. While in previous studies MICP was often accomplished by the injection of exogenous bacterial solutions, this study utilizes the soil's native ureolytic microorganisms. The roles of yeast …

Once your sand is clean and rinsed, you can add it to the aquarium to create a natural-looking aquascape. Start by adding a thin layer of sand to the bottom of the tank, using your hands or a small utensil to spread it evenly. Then, add more sand until you've achieved the desired depth.

Post by esztershine onMay 23, 2011 at 11:25pm. I would just bake it or cook it in water. Freezing does not sterilize. Freezing can kill mites (for example) but does not kill bacteria. Bacteria goes to sleep on below freezing temperatures. However hot (over 100 'C kills most bacteria) treatment should sterilize it if cooked for a good half hour.

Antibiotic-containing wastes and food used in aquaculture directly get into the ocean. Antibiotics are natural chemicals produced by bacteria. There is some evidence that bacteria use them to communicate with their neighbors. But they also kill off other competing bacteria and help them retain control of their neighborhood.

3) Limit Organic Matter. Too much organic matter in ponds, like fallen leaves, can deplete oxygen levels, reduce beneficial bacteria, and feed algal growth. Public domain. While bacteria are adept at breaking down organic matter, having too much of it will result in them not being able to decompose it quickly enough.
