Do submerged macrophytes facilitate the development of large crustacean zooplankton in tropical shallow lakes?
In temperate shallow lakes, submerged macrophytes facilitate zooplankton development by providing refuge against fish predation and, thereby, indirectly contribute to maintaining a clear-water state through en...

Food quality upgrade of carbon from submerged macrophytes by flagellates via a heterotrophic pathway can stimulate growth of Daphnia magna
Submerged macrophytes play crucial roles in maintaining the stability of clear-water states in shallow lakes. Recent stable isotope studies have shown that crustacean zooplankton can utilize submerged macrophy...

Extensive Carbon Contribution of Inundated Terrestrial Plants to Zooplankton Biomass in a Eutrophic Lake
Organic carbon derived from terrestrial plants contributes to aquatic consumers, e.g., zooplankton in lakes. The degree of the contribution depends on the availability of terrestrial organic carbon in lake org...

Carbon transfer from the submerged macrophyte Hydrilla verticillata to zooplankton: a 13C-labeled mesocosm study
Submerged macrophytes cannot be utilized directly by zooplankton. However, vegetation can serve as an organic carbon resource for heterotrophic bacteria, which are themselves accessible to zooplankton. We ther...

Biomanipulation-induced reduction of sediment phosphorus release in a tropical shallow lake
Biomanipulation via fish regulation combined with submerged plant introduction is an effective measure to restore eutrophic shallow lakes. Improved water quality and clarity promote growth of benthic algae, wh...

Knockout of crtB or crtI gene blocks the carotenoid biosynthetic pathway in Deinococcus radiodurans R1 and influences its resistance to oxidative DNA-damaging agents due to change of free radicals scavenging ability
Deinococcus radiodurans R1, a red-pigmented strain of the extremely radioresistant genus Deinococcus, contains a major carotenoid namely deinoxanthin. The high resistance of this organism...

Effect of glutathione on UV induction of prophage lambda
The effect of glutathione (GSH) on the ultraviolet (UV) induction of lambda prophage was investigated in lysogenic Escherichia coli. The data showed that extracellular GSH could inhibit the UV induction of lambda...
