phosphomonoesterase/atrophy

A study of the presence, distribution and activity of acid phosphatase has been carried out in the cells of the spinning gland of moth pest Pericallia ricinii in sequential larval, prepupal and pupal stages. Acid phosphomonoesterase activity at first appears in the apical and basal regions of the

Samples of an Ah horizon from a Cambisol under oakwood vegetation were artificially contaminated with diesel (at doses of 20, 40, 80, 160 and 400 microl g(-1)) under laboratory conditions. The presence of the contaminant caused a decrease in the microbial biomass and in phosphomonoesterase,

The regenerating forelimb of the adult newt, Notophthalmus viridescens was investigated for 5'-nucleotidase (5' ribonucleotide phosphohydrolase, 3.1.3.5) acitivity. The newt's humeri were surgically removed, and after a twenty-one-day recovery period, the forelimbs amputated above the elbows.

Deterioration in water quality caused by the movement of excessive soil P has created a condition necessary for the development of a sustainable P remediation technology. In this investigation, the phytoremediation potential of Gulf and Marshall ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum) grown in a greenhouse
