Temperature nutrients

Major factors affecting biological growth are temperature, nutrient availability. 

Phytoremediation is only effective at shallow depths because root density decreases with depth. The mobility of contaminants also decreases with depth. In addition, phytoremediation is a slower process than some alternative technologies, and cleanup often requires several growing seasons. Environmental factors, including soil type, water availability, temperature, nutrients, and solar radiation can also limit the success of phytoremediation. 

To ensure that the anaerobic bacteria thrive, careful control over substrate concentration, pH, temperature, nutrients and toxins must be maintained. For example, acetate concentrations above 2 g/L and ammonia concentrations above 3 g/L will significantly diminish methane production. Oxygen and certain metals and antibiotic contaminants can be harmful. 

One aspect of sedimentary 7 8 chlorite formation which is particularly interesting is the fact that these minerals are never found forming at depths greater than 80 meters in recent sediments. Porrenga (1967b) thinks that they are characteristic of tropical sediments and their formation is thus temperature dependent. This appears invalid since they are known to form in recent sediments in a Scottish loch (Rohrlich, e al.. 1969). Nevertheless there does seem to be a bathymetric control on their occurrence. This is probably not a pressure effect but more likely some sort of factor related to organic activity in the sediments which is controlled by the biotic factors of sea depth, temperature, nutrients, etc.

The soil is a complex structure with close interrelationship among factors that influence biodegradation of pesticides, such as the structure of the pesticide, presence of an effective, active microbial community capable of degradation, and bioavailability of the compound in space and time (sorption, moisture content, temperature, nutrients, and soil pH) to enzymes or to whole cells (Aislabie and Lloydjones, 1995). 

In a recent study, Sattler et al. (2001) examined cloud water collected at high altitudes (3.1km) on Mt. Sonnblick, Austria. They found that bacteria in cloud droplets were actively growing and reproducing at temperatures at or below 0°C. They concluded that temperature, nutrients, and energy sources are unlikely to limit microbial processes in cloud droplets, at least at lower... 

The biochemicals identified as allelochemicals are generally metabolites resulting from secondary plant and microbial metabolism. The levels of such compounds can be elevated in plant tissues by stress (temperature, nutrient, water stress) or as a response to pathogenic infections. Because of this, care needs to... 

Mammalian cell culture processes must be tightly controlled to attain acceptable cell density and maximize product titer. Slight deviations in pH, temperature, nutrient, or catabolite concentrations can cause irreparable damage to the cells. This section covers the effects of pH, shear stress, catabolite, and carbon dioxide accumulation on cell growth and product formation, and discusses the importance of controlling glucose and glutamine concentrations... 

Equation (22-19) describes the biomass-mediated reaction and indicates that proper environmental conditions are required for the reaction to take place. These conditions are required by the biomass, not the electron donor or acceptor. The environmental conditions include pH, temperature, nutrients, ionic balance, and so on. In general, biomass can function over a wide pH range generally from 5 to 9. However,... 

The earlier works by Mague et al. (1974 1977), Venrick (1974), and Kimor (1978) attempted to define some of the environmental factors and conditions that control the N2 fixation activity and distribution of DDA populations. Some have argued that distribution and activity is largely controUed by latitude, temperature, nutrients (i.e., iron, phosphorous), and wind stress for the other co-occurring cyanobacteria. 

Neither did we find such correlation in waters west of Baja California during September 1979 (23). In the different water types identified in that survey of surface waters, the correlations between temperature, nutrients, and fluorescence were rather poor and varied from one water type to another (Table II). The close correlation between temperature, nitrate, and phosphate just discussed (22) probably exists in freshly upwelled water then, as phytoplankton consume increasing amounts of the initial nutrients, and as solar heating modifies the initial temperature, these close relationships break down. 

Bench-scale testing of the biooxidation of minerals is a major exercise in view of the number of parameters that have to be evaluated, including pH, temperature, nutrient and oxygen supply, particle size of the ore, and pulp density (percentage solids). It is complicated further because of the heterogeneity of the ore sample. Samples from the same ore body can display considerable variation in properties. It is also important to check the ion-exchange properties of the mineral. 

One of the major areas of research interest in wine strains of S. cerevisiae is the analysis of response to stress. This focus is motivated by both practical and fimdamental interests. The production of wine imposes both biotic and abiotic stresses on the yeast. The principal stresses encountered are high osmolarity, high ethanol, extremes of temperature, nutrient limitation, and presence of inhibitory metabolites (Bisson, 1999). Genomic analysis of the response to each of these types of stress has been conducted (Alexandre et al., 2001 Aranda and del Olmo, 2004 Backhus et al., 2001 Erasmus et al., 2003 Kuhn et al., 2001 Marks et al., 2003 Rep et al., 2000 Rossignol et al., 2006 Sahara et al., 2002). Several... 

The latter is because laboratory data are typically obtained with specific and well-characterized microorganisms, while the real world provides all kinds of microorganisms, not necessarily including those employed in the laboratory. Laboratory data demonstrate general regularities of microbial degradation, such as effect of temperature, nutrients, pH, effect of antimicrobial agents, and so on. Each one of these factors can be very different in the real world.
