Her focus was to add longevity to wood species that were found to be less resistant to microbial decay.

The seeds can survive for up to 50 years in soil due to a 'chemical that inhibits microbial decay'.

Microbial decay is caused, but vitamins are unaffected.

This allows accumulated water to drain from the nestlike center of the plant, thus preventing microbial decay.

Bert van den Berg is seen here microscopically investigating carrots to determine whether microbial decay occurred and, if so, what kind.

These busts were unusually well-preserved, owing to the anaerobic conditions of their interment and a stable water temperature that impeded microbial decay.

The leech produces an anticoagulant that prevents the stored blood from clotting, plus other agents that inhibit microbial decay of the blood.

Microbial decay occurs faster when bacteria are starved (shortage of electron donor) rather than deprived of oxygen (or other electron acceptors).

Residues from some crops inhibit the growth of other plants either directly or indirectly from the by-products produced from the microbial decay of the residues.

The two Cornus species did not differ in rate of pulp deterioration (milligrams dry tissue per day) when a linear model of microbial decay of pulp was used.

Solid state C NMR has been used to look at the concentrations of lignin, as well as other major components in wood e.g. cellulose, and how that changes with microbial decay.

These same compounds are released during many forms of microbial decay, including the internal microbial action in Camembert cheese, although the kraft process is a chemical one and does not involve any microbial degradation.

Fast sinking means that the biomass and its constituents reach the deeper ocean layers without major degradation, where microbial decay releases CO2 that can be stored without direct contact with the atmosphere for millennia.

This may indicate that silicon is an important elemental component of exine materials characteristic of many types of pollen, in which silicate compounds may aid in the high degree of pollen resistance to geological weathering, microbial decay, and acetolysis treatments.

"Our results indicate that, as the Arctic warms up, this frozen carbon will thaw out, allowing microbial decay to resume and releasing carbon into the atmosphere," said Kevin Schaefer of the US National Snow and Ice Data Centre in Boulder, Colorado.

Microbial degradation of 1,2-dichloroethane in water has been observed but is a slow process.

Bill Mohn’s research is on microbial degradation of pollutants.

Microbial degradation is the main cause of glyphosate's decomposition in plants.

It is an intermediate formed by microbial degradation of validamycins.

Microbial degradation of protein in the environment can be regulated by nutrient availability.

For example, in grass-dominated compost, most of the carbon is susceptible to microbial degradation.

Microbial degradation appears to be a major process involved in the decontamination of oil polluted ecosystems.

Microbial degradation of components of crude oil was concluded to be a dynamic process.

Adsorption, mobility and microbial degradation of Glyphosate in the soil.

These land farming activities cultivate and enhance microbial degradation of hazardous compounds.

In anaerobic conditions microbial degradation by fungi and bacteria takes place to form the same major end product.

Microbial degradation accounted for about 15%, while the rest probably was lost to the water as partly degraded metabolites.

Humic substances are formed by the microbial degradation of dead plant matter, such as lignin.

The major route of transformation of glyphosate in soils is microbial degradation.

Apparent adsorption and microbial degradation of phenol by soil.

One of these is microbial degradation.

Microbial degradation is the principal route of removal of metribuzin from the soil.

It is resistant to microbial degradation and is largely a by-product of photosynthesis.

Microbial degradation of hydrocarbon mixtures in a marine sediment under different temperature regimes. 1987.

Good ingredient preservation maintains the nutritional quality by preventing loss through enzymatic or microbial degradation.

Defence mechanisms of nature include wave action and beach erosion, biological conversion, and microbial degradation.

Bronze sculptures, although known for their longevity, still undergo microbial degradation; such as from certain species of yeasts.

It extends the freshness and fights microbial degradation.

Hydrolysis was the major route of microbial degradation of both carbamate insecticides.

Factors influencing microbial degradation of 14C-Glyphosate to 14CO2 in soil.
