Since the success of Monod’s expression (Equation 1) to model substrate-limited microbial growth1, many expressions have been proposed2, accounting for a range of phenomena including substrate inhibition and population density effects3,4. All of these expressions rely on empirical rules, differently to enzymology for which analogues of Monod and Haldane expressions have been mathematically derived5). Microbial transition […] More

Mode of formation The overall morphology and variability in the preservation of the Naranco Formation trace fossils analysed here are best regarded as the result of different facets of a single anatomy defining a behavioural continuum. In this context, the almost pristine body impression with transverse furrows defining the segments observed in best-preserved specimens of […] More
An accurate quantification of the impacts caused by invasive organisms forms the basis for management strategies29. For fungal forest pathogens, tree mortality is the most commonly used variable to quantify losses. Since tree mortality is an inherent process of forest dynamics, defining a baseline against which mortality caused by a new pathogen can be compared […] More
Effect of ML on quality of barley silage during aerobic stage The pH values of the control (CK), M silage and ML silage were within the range of 3.87–3.94 after 60 days of ensiling (Table 1). When exposed to air, the pH values of the CK and M silages increased rapidly with prolonged exposure but not […] More
