Impact of nitrogen fertilization on nodulation and symbiotic efficiency of indigenous Bradyrhizobium japonicum strains

(Corresponding) Sikora S., Abrlic J., Rajnović I., Kajic S.
Topic: 
Agroforestry, forest and agricultural sustainability
Nitrogen fixation is a beneficial microbial process that greatly contribute to sustainable agricultural production and environment protection. Soil bacteria, collectively named rhizobia, are characterized by their unique ability to induce the formation of root nodules in which they convert...Read more

Sustainability analysis of a bean stew using Environmental LCA and Life Cycle Cost Assessment

(Corresponding) San Miguel G., Ruiz D.
Topic: 
Life cycle analysis (lca)
This investigation aims to investigate the sustainability of an industrially produced bean stew, as a representative example of the ready-made food industry. The analysis covers the environmental and economic dimensions of the products, which were evaluated using Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and...Read more

Environmental, economic and socio-economic life cycle assessment of the Spanish electricity system

Cerrato M., (Corresponding) San Miguel G.
Topic: 
Life cycle analysis (lca)
This paper investigates the sustainability of the Spanish electricity system under four different scenarios for 2030 and 2050 published by a reputable think tank assessing the Spanish Government. The analysis was performed using a life cycle approach and evaluates five sustainability indicators:...Read more

Monitoring of Vitis vinifera endophyte population

(Corresponding) Vrchotová B., Škotková M., Vlková V., Kolochová I., Lovecká P.
Topic: 
Agroforestry, forest and agricultural sustainability
Due to increasing demands to agricultural production it is necessary to fine processes which will increase health of cultural plants and will have positive impact on landscape with potential to increase production. Our work is concerned on grapevine plants (Vitis vinifera) endophytic population. We...Read more

Cooperation of bacteria and fungus on polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons degradation

(Corresponding) Vrchotová B., Danda M., Lovecká P.
Topic: 
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are diverse family of hydrophobic organic pollutants. They can be removed from environment by bacterial degradation. One of the process which could limit biodegradation is transfer of hydrophobic contaminants in to aqueous phase were degrading microorganisms live...Read more

Arsenic uptake in bean and cabbage grown in silty and sandy soil and irrigated with arsenic containing water

Sandil S., (Corresponding) Dobosy P., Kröpfl K., Füzy A., Óvári M., Záray G.
Topic: 
Heavy metals in the environment
The uptake of arsenic was studied in bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) and cabbage (Brassica oleracea L. var. capitata L.) in an open greenhouse pot culture with sand and silt soil as substrate. The plants were irrigated with water containing sodium arsenate at concentrations 0.05 and 0.2 mg As L-1. The...Read more

Origin of Cr in alluvial sediments and ultramafic rocks in Sultanate of Oman. Magnetic fractionation and sunlight effect.

(Corresponding) Moraetis D., Al-Suhai S., Pracejus B., Pyrgaki K., Argyraki A., Dermatas D.
Topic: 
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
The present study attempts to identify the sources of Cr(VI) in a coastal alluvial fan soil and soil from a chromite mine. In addition investigates the effect of photochemically oxidized organic matter in the Cr(VI) mobilization in soil. The alluvial bulk soil samples contain several evidence of...Read more

QUNTITATIVE PCR AS A TOOL FOR ANALYSIS OF DIVERSITY IN SOIL MICROBIOME

Drobníková T., Maryška L., Jindřichová B., Burketová L., (Corresponding) Siegel J., Valentová O., Lovecká P., (Corresponding) Macůrková A.
Topic: 
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
Majority of terrestrial soils are used primarily for agricultural production. The main factor of soil fertility is mediated by soil microorganisms and invertebrates. Soil microorganisms plays crutial role in ecosystems nutrient cycling and therefore any change in their diversity could have serious...Read more

COMPLEX APPROACH FOR ANALYSIS OF CHANGES IN SOIL MICROBIOME

(Corresponding) Macůrková A., Drobníková T., Maryška L., Jindřichová B., Burketová L., Siegel J., Valentová O., Lovecká P.
Topic: 
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
In the few past decades, genetic approaches for analysis of soil microbiome, e.g pyrosequencing, gained major attention and cultivation techniques were pushed into the background. The combination of several techniques could be useful and cheap approach for analysis of changes in soil microbiome. In...Read more
