There it was covered with mud which prevented bacterial decomposition.

Bacterial decomposition of the organic material stripped the oxygen from the water.

Lack of oxygen slowed bacterial decomposition and kept scavengers away.

It is the product of bacterial decomposition of an essential acid called Tryptophan.

Bacterial decomposition of the remains produced carbon dioxide that combined with dissolved iron from the groundwater.

This is a result of a bacterial decomposition that produces, among other things, high histamine levels in the flesh of the fish.

Mineralisation: Mineralisation is achieved through bacterial decomposition of organic matter.

Oxygenation speeds the bacterial decomposition of the manure.

Ultimately, the rate of bacterial decomposition acting on the tissue will be depend upon the temperature of the surroundings.

Blowflies are attracted to decaying hosts due to the odors produced by bacterial decomposition.

By inoffensive, Fletcher meant that there was no stench and no evidence of bacterial decomposition.

Amber, fossilized resin from tree sap, protects trapped materials from decay and bacterial decomposition.

Waters with high levels of sediment and sludge, which is consumed by bacterial decomposition of oxygen are, accordingly not as a habitat for the larvae.

The sulfur-containing amino acids cysteine and methionine undergo bacterial decomposition to yield:

During movement from recharge to discharge, sulfate is reduced by bacterial decomposition of organic matter in the clays, producing high sulfide and bicarbonate activities.

Diversity may be limited by the interaction of stratification with primary productivity and bacterial decomposition, which may be influenced by human activities.

Composting It Human waste can be rendered pathologically harmless by composting (aerobic bacterial decomposition) at a suitable temperature.

Bacterial decomposition of algal blooms consumes dissolved oxygen in the water, generating hypoxia with detrimental consequences for fish and aquatic invertebrates.

Dimethyl trisulphide is probably a decomposition product from bacterial decomposition and a major attractant for blowflies looking for hosts.

The hydrochemical environment shifts from oxygenated to anoxic, as bacterial decomposition of sunken biomass utilizes all of the free oxygen.

If large areas of ground underneath were to thaw one day, the bacterial decomposition process would pick up where it left off, releasing huge amounts of greenhouse gases.

Bacterial decomposition of organic matter (without oxygen) in rice paddies, swamps, garbage dumps, and intestines of ruminants like cows and sheep.

Anoxic or near anoxic conditions (e.g. oxygen-free mud) which suppresses common bacterial decomposition long enough for the initial casts of soft body parts to register.

Furthermore, associated bottom currents can enhance dissolution and remobilization of nutrients by transporting the products of bacterial decomposition away from the sediment-water interface into the water column.

This solution is biodegradable in time, but it cross-links proteins found in tissue-cell membranes, slowing down bacterial decomposition and inhibiting the body's breakdown in the earth.
