Is metal contamination responsible for increasing aneuploidy levels in the Manila clam Ruditapes philippinarum?
( Elsevier , 2017 , Article)The present study assessed the metal genotoxicity potential at chromosome-level in the bivalve Ruditapes philippinarum collected along different areas of the Tagus estuary. Higher levels of aneuploidy on gill cells were ... -
Is the ecosystem approach effective in transboundary water systems: Central Asia as a case study?
( John Wiley and Sons Inc , 2021 , Article Review)In the context of international environmental law and International Water Law (IWL), the Ecosystem Approach (EA) has become a source of heated debate. In recent years, there has been growing recognition of the negative ... -
Islam and International Relations (IR): why is there no Islamic IR theory?
( Taylor and Francis Group , 2022 , Article)International Relations (IR) as an academic discipline is relatively new and almost entirely dominated by Western sources of knowledge. Its biased nature undermines its capacity to understand, explain and predict events ... -
Isolation and characterization of a newly naphthalene degrading Halomonas pacifica, strain Cnaph3: biodegradation and biosurfactant production studies
( Springer Verlag , 2020 , Article)A newly marine Halomonas pacifica strain Cnaph3 was isolated, as a naphthalene degrader and biosurfactant producer, from contaminated seawater collected in Ataya's fishing harbor, located in Kerkennah Islands, Tunisia. ... -
Isolation and Identification of Organics-Degrading Bacteria From Gas-to-Liquid Process Water
( Frontiers Media S.A. , 2021 , Article)The gas-to-liquid (GTL) process generates considerable amounts of wastewater that are highly acidic and characterized by its high chemical oxygen demand (COD) content, due to the presence of several organic pollutants, ... -
Isolation of bacterial strains from compost teas and screening of their PGPR properties on potato plants
( Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH , 2022 , Article)The beneficial effect of compost and compost tea on plant growth and protection is mainly associated with the microbial diversity and the presence of bacteria with plant growth-promoting effect. PGPR are considered as ... -
Isolation of bacterial strains from compost teas and screening of their PGPR properties on potato plants
( Springer , 2022 , Article)The beneficial effect of compost and compost tea on plant growth and protection is mainly associated with the microbial diversity and the presence of bacteria with plant growth–promoting effect. PGPR are considered as ... -
Isolation, identification and biodiversity of antiscalant degrading seawater bacteria using MALDI-TOF-MS and multivariate analysis
( Elsevier B.V. , 2019 , Article)Seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) is a commonly used desalination technique owing to its lesser environmental and economic impacts as compared to thermal desalination techniques. Antiscalants are used in SWRO to reduce ... -
Isolation, screening and activity of hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria from harsh soils
( Avestia Publishing , 2016 , Conference Paper)The study of microbial communities in relation to their ecology, interaction, and genetics must be covered in Qatar with special soil, weather and water. Microorganisms of an environment never having been exposed to such ... -
