typha laxmannii/phosphatase

We examined the effect of light on extracellular enzyme activities of periphytic/endogenous microbial assemblages associated with decomposing litter of an emergent macrophyte Typha angustifolia within a small inland wetland in southeastern Michigan. Standing-dead Typha leaf litter was collected,

BACKGROUND Typha angustata is a traditional Chinese medicine, commonly used for a variety of clinical disorders, including atherosclerosis and wound healing. In the present study, the protective effects of T. angustata pollen extract (TE) on the response of osteoblast to oxidative stress were

BACKGROUND Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic inflammation of the intestinal epithelium that is driven by the intestinal immune system, oxidative stress and the loss of tolerance to the luminal microbiota. The use of dietary products containing ingredients such as fibres and carbohydrates

The effects of Typha latifolia L. on the remediation of cadmium (Cd) in wetland soil were studied using greenhouse pot culture, with soil Cd concentrations of 0, 1, and 30 mg/kg. The T. latifolia showed excellent tolerance to the low and high concentrations of Cd in soil. A higher bioaccumulation of

BACKGROUND Cattail (Typha domingensis) has been spreading in phosphorus (P) enriched areas of the oligotrophic Florida Everglades at the expense of sawgrass (Cladium mariscus spp. jamaicense). Abundant evidence in the literature explains how the opportunistic features of Typha might lead to a

The rhizosphere is a key zone for pollutant removal in treatment wetlands; therefore, studies on microbial activity may provide helpful information for a better understanding of purification processes. We studied microbial activity in a vertical-downflow constructed wetland system treating waste

Eight constructed wetland microcosm (CWM) units have been designed using three macrophytes for domestic wastewater treatment. The main aim of this study is to evaluate enzyme activities with respect to time and soil depth and their correlation with removal efficiency of pollutants within different
