The purpose of the study was two-fold: first, to identify and describe the air-borne Moniliales encountered in the Fresno area; and second, to determine their relative abundance. Several methods of collecting culturing and identification are described . . .

Ever since the discovery of 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) as an effective herbicide during World War II, extensive research effort has been directed to all aspects of this synthesized subs tame that behaves in some respects similar to plant a . . .

Mammalian cells produce different types of cell protrusions (CPs)—like filopodia, lamellipodia, invadopdia, and tunneling nanotubes—that have been implicated in numerous important biological functions, such as cell migration, cell-cell communication, . . .

Methyl bromide is a broad-spectrum pesticide that successfully controls insects, weeds, rodents, and several pathogens in agricultural crops; however, its use is strongly restricted by international agreement. Consequently, pesticides including inline . . .

Cyanobacteria, the only prokaryotes capable of oxygenic photosynthesis, generate reactive oxygen (ROS) and nitrogen (RNS) species as by-products of photosynthesis and cellular metabolism. To defend against oxidative and nitrosative stress caused by RO . . .

Beattie and Setlow (1970) presented data to expand and confirm the "lethality mechanism" theory. Steinhart and Herriott (1968b) noted that their theory need not necessarily replace Schaeffer's "limited pairing" hypothesis since the integration level i . . .

The chemical composition of sea water has been described as being relatively constant with respect to the ratios of the major components (Dittmar, 1884). There are, however, certain of the minor constituents of sea water which are less conservative an . . .

The generic name Chlorococcum appears frequently in reports of soil flora investigations, but there is a marked lack of agreement regarding the circumscription of organisms to which this genus name applies (Starr, 1955). Furthermore, there is confusio . . .

There is a great deal of evidence which suggests that bacteria play many important roles in aquatic communities. Their roles include serving as food sources, uptake of otherwise unusable and sometimes toxic organic substances, biosynthesis of vitamins . . .

The present study- concerned the quantitative and qualitative comparison of two intertidal benthic algal floras. Data were collected from the experimental area, Ano Nuevo Point, and Pigeon Point the control area, both in San Mateo County California (F . . .
