The environment has been exposed to a number of hazardous chlorinated
organic compounds. These compounds may be anaerobically biotransformed by
sequential reductive dechlorination reactions in which the chlorine atoms are
replaced with hydrogen atoms. Because reductive dechlorination processes may
occur very slowly in the environment and chlorine position affects the...
A gas-permeable-membrane-supported (GPMS) biofilm consisting
of methylotrophic bacteria was effective in degrading chlorinated
methanes, ethanes, and ethenes. The biofilm was developed on a
gas-permeable fabric (Goretex, W.L.Gore & Associates, Elkton,
Maryland) that divided a reactor vessel into a liquid compartment
and a gas compartment. Goretex is a nylon-backed teflon mesh...
Nematodes are tiny but complex unsegmented roundworms that are anatomically differentiated for feeding, digestion, locomotion, and reproduction. These small animals make important contributions to organic matter decomposition and to the food chain. Some species, however, are parasitic to plants or animals. This publication provides a description and information on biology,...
This report was prepared for the 2009 Range Field Day held at the Columbia Basin Agricultural Research Center in Pendleton, Oregon. It contains research reports on molecular identification of cyst nematodes in wheat and barley; hard red winter wheat production; club wheat breeding in Oregon; growing canola on wide row...
Cereal cyst nematodes reduce yields of wheat, barley, and oats in the Pacific Northwest states of Idaho, Oregon, and Washington. It is estimated that these pests reduce wheat profitability in these states by at least $3.4 million annually. This publication describes the distribution, biology, damage, management, and detection of cereal...
