This book was released on 2006-09-22 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With millions of different bacterial species living in soil, the microbial community is extremely complex, varying at very small scales. Microbe-driven functions are essential for most processes in soil. Thus, a better understanding of this microbial diversity will be invaluable for the management of the various soil functions. Nucleic Acids and Proteins in Soil combines traditional approaches in soil microbiology and biochemistry with the latest techniques in molecular microbial ecology. Included are methods to analyse the presence and importance of nucleic acids and proteins both inside and outside microbial cells, the horizontal gene transfer which drives bacterial diversity, as well as soil proteomes. Further chapters describe techniques such as PCR, fingerprinting, the challenging use of gene arrays for structural and functional analysis, stable isotope probing to identify in situ metabolic functions, and the use of marker and reporter genes in soil microbial ecology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: D. BOULTER and B. PARTHIER At the time of the former edition of the Encyclopedia of Plant Physiology, approximately 25 years ago, no complete plant protein amino acid sequences or nucleic acid sequences had been determined. Although the structure of DNA and its function as the genetic material had just been reported, little detail was known of the mechanism of its action, and D. G. CATCHSIDE was to write in the first chapter of the first volume of the Encyclopedia: "There is a consider able body of evidence that the gene acts as a unit of physiological action through the control of individual enzymes". No cell-free transcription and pro tein-synthesizing systems were available and the whole range of powerful meth ods of recombinant DNA technology was still to be developed. Today for the first time with plant systems, it is possible not only to describe their molecular biology but also to manipulate it, i. e. , to move from a description to a technological phase. The properties of living systems are inscribed by those of the proteins and nucleic acids which they synthesize. Proteins, due to their very large size, occur as macromolecules in colloidal solution or associated in supra-molecular colloi dal form. The colloidal state confers low thermal conductivity, low diffusion coefficients and high viscosity, properties which buffer a biological system from the effects of a changing environment. Biological systems not only have great stability, but also the capacity to reproduce.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 415 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the summer of 1974 we discussed the state of molecular biology and biochemical developmental biology in plants on a few occasions in Paris and in Strasbourg. The number of laboratories engaged in such research is minute compared with those studying comparable problems in animal and bacterial systems, but by then much interesting work had been done and a great momentum was building. It seemed to us that the summer of 1976 would be a good time to review these areas of plant biology for students as well as advanced workers. We outlined a program for a course to colleagues both in Europe and the United States and asked a few potential lecturers if they would be interested. The response was not just positive; it was overwhelm ingly enthusiastic. Those who had some acquaintance with Alsace, and especially with Strasbourg, invariably told us that they had two reasons for being enthusiastic about participating - the subject and the proposed site. The lectures published here* reflect the diversity of current research in plant molecular biology and biochemical developmental biology. Each lecture gives us a glimpse of the depth of questions being asked, and sometimes answered, in segments of this field of investigation. This research is directed at fundamental biological problems, but answers to these questions will provide knowledge essential for bringing about major changes in the way the world's agricultural enterprise can be improved.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Twenty articles focus on the most significant sources of nitrogen in the biosphere--macromolecules such as proteins, amino sugars, nucleic acids, and others. The articles review current research, questions pertaining to the stability of N-containing macromolecules, and the process that they undergo during diagenesis. Also discussed are the fates of proteins and amino acids in the natural environment, the distribution and biodegradation of chitin (an amino sugar), the amplification of DNA in ancient samples, and the fate of so-called "unidentified" organic nitrogen in soils and sedimentary rocks.

Download or read book Proteins and Nucleic Acids in Plant Systematics written by U. Jensen and published by Springer. This book was released on 1983-12 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The continued rapid expansion of molecular biology, genetics, and macromolecular biochemistry has provided significant data for ana lyses, interpretations, and incorporation into plant phylogenetic re search and plant classification. These disciplines have produced techni ques and methods which enable the evolutionary biologists to obtain new and provocative information, especially about those substances which are coupled with the genetic material. In July, 1982 these im portant biochemical substances extracted from living plant organs, tis sues or cells were the subject of an International Symposium held at the University of Bayreuth, Federal Republic of Germany, entitled Proteins and Nucleic Acids in Plant Systematics. At this Symposium German scientists communicated with leading scientists from eleven other countries. The Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft generously supported this symposium and thus enabled the exchange of data, ideas, and new scientific proposals. This book contains 26 contribu tions delivered at the Symposium, which review the present status of Plant Macromolecular Systematics. The two editors acknowledge the effort of the Springer Verlag and their indispensable help with the preparation of this publication. Bayreuth, FRG and U. JENSEN and New Brunswick, NJ, USA D. E.

Download or read book Sample Preparation Techniques for Soil Plant and Animal Samples written by Miodrag Micic and published by Humana. This book was released on 2016-01-29 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Sample Preparation Techniques for Environmental, Plant, and Animal Samples handbook is a collection of best practices, recipes and theoretical information aimed at anyone who works with any type of molecular biology, proteomics, or metabolomics research involving diffi cult and tough-to-process samples, and thus is exposed to the seemingly unbreakable bottleneck of sample preparation. Th is book is most useful to researchers preparing nucleic acids and proteins from environmental (e.g., soil, marine, and wastewater, feces) and tough microbiological (e.g., spores, yeasts, gram positive bacteria) samples, as well as solid tissue samples from plants and animals. This book is the first comprehensive piece of literature dealing with applications of bead beating technology and other types of mechanical homogenization sample preparation.
