Nitrogen Fixation and Diazotrophic Community in Plastic-Eating Mealworms Tenebrio molitor L
Mealworms, the larvae of a coleopteran insect Tenebrio molitor L., are capable of eating, living on, and degrading non-hydrolyzable vinyl plastics as...

Effect of symbiotic N2 fixation on leaf protein contents, protein degradation and nitrogen resorption during leaf senescence in temperate deciduous woody species
Nitrogen (N) resorption from senescing leaves enables plants to reuse N, making them less dependent on current N uptake from the environment, leading...

Polyphasic characterization of nitrogen-fixing and co-resident bacteria in nodules of Phaseolus lunatus inoculated with soils from Piauí State, Northeast Brazil
Phaseolus lunatus (Lima bean) is an important legume for the poor population of the Brazilian northeast region. The legume is able to take advantage...
