A dissertation describing the results of a series of greenhouse experiments conducted to better understand phytoremediation in stormwater bioretention systems.
The inhibition of S-aden.osylmethionine: Δ²⁴-sterol methyltransferase
(EC 2.1.1.41) activity by endogenous cellular components has
been studied in vitro. The principal inhibitors were Na⁺ and K⁺; Cs⁺,
NH₄⁺ and Li⁺ were also shown to inhibit the reaction. The inhibition
by potassium cation has been studied, and we have found that energy...
Investigations were made in the field, greenhouse, growth
chamber, and laboratory to: (a) observe the general activity of N-
(phosphonomethyl)glycine (glyphosate); (b) determine the extent of its
interaction with certain s-triazine herbicides; and (c) find an explanation
for such an interaction.
Greenhouse and growth chamber studies substantiated other
observations that...
