phragmites roxburghii/phosphatase

The present study aims to investigate the effects of Phragmites communis and Zizania aquatica on rhizosphere soil enzyme activity and bacterial community structure in a surface flow constructed wetland (SFCW) for the treatment of domestic sewage from the Shanxi province of China. The basic physical

Solidago canadensis is a notorious invasive species from North America that is spreading across East China. It is invading some coastal grasslands and replacing native grass species. The effects of the S. canadensis invasion on soil nutrient cycling in

Microcystin-LR (MCY-LR), a toxin produced mainly by freshwater cyanobacteria, is a potent inhibitor of type 1 and 2A protein phosphatases. As such, it induces biochemical, cellular and tissue alterations in vascular plants, including cell death. The aim of this study was the analysis of MCY-LR

Microcystin-LR (MC-LR) is a heptapeptide cyanotoxin, known to be a potent inhibitor of type 1 and 2A protein phosphatases in eukaryotes. Our aim was to investigate the effect of MC-LR on the organization of microtubules and mitotic chromatin in relation to its possible effects on cell and whole

Bacterial diversity of reed (Phragmites australis) periphyton communities of Kelemen-szék and Nagy-Vadas (two Hungarian soda ponds) was investigated using molecular cloning and cultivation-based techniques. The majority of the 80 Kelemen-szék and 72 Nagy-Vadas bacterial isolates proved to be

In this study, the soil catalase, phosphatase and urease activities of typical plant communities of reed (Phragmites australis) and tamarisk (Tamarix ramosissima) and their influencing factors were investigated in Ebinur Lake wetland. The results showed that three soil enzyme activities of reed and

Four gramineous energy plants, Miscanthus sacchariflorus, M. floridulus, Phragmites australis, and Arundo donax were grown on copper tailings in the field for four years. Their phytoremediation potential was examined in terms of their effects on the fractions of heavy metals and soil enzyme

The rhizosphere is a key zone for pollutant removal in treatment wetlands; therefore, studies on microbial activity may provide helpful information for a better understanding of purification processes. We studied microbial activity in a vertical-downflow constructed wetland system treating waste

Soil enzymes play key roles in the construction and succession of coastal wetland communities, while the driving mechanism of their activities under water and salt stress conditions is still unclear. The activities and distributions of sucrase, phosphatase, catalase, and urease in the rhizosphere

Salt marshes are transitional zone between terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, occupied mainly by halophytic vegetation which provides numerous ecological services to coastal ecosystem. Halophyte-associated microbial community plays an important role in the adaptation of plants to adverse condition

Eight constructed wetland microcosm (CWM) units have been designed using three macrophytes for domestic wastewater treatment. The main aim of this study is to evaluate enzyme activities with respect to time and soil depth and their correlation with removal efficiency of pollutants within different

Sixteen small-scale wetlands planted with four plant species were constructed for domestic wastewater purification. The objective of this study was to determine the correlations between contaminant removal and soil enzyme activity, root activity, and growth in the constructed wetlands. The results
