Article Synopsis
- * Two specific cultivars, OUR and UPI, were found to significantly enhance the growth and metabolic activity of beneficial probiotics, outperforming established prebiotic compounds like fructooligosaccharides (FOS).
- * The cultivation of OUR and UPI resulted in positive changes in the gut microbiota of celiac individuals, promoting beneficial bacteria while reducing less favorable ones, indicating their potential use in functional foods and dietary supplements.
Chromium Displacement in Subtropical Soils Fertilized with Hydrolysed Leather: A Laboratory Study.
Bull Environ Contam Toxicol
December 2016
Prolonged use of biosolids with high metal content may result in diffuse pollution across large regions, especially if such ions can move freely through the soil profile and reach underground water sources. The objective of this study was to verify whether Cr added to the soil surface in the form of hydrolysed leather or a soluble salt would migrate over significant distances in four subtropical soils differing in physical, chemical and mineralogical properties. Horizontal and vertical mobility were assessed in Petri dishes and small pots, respectively, using low (12 mg kg soil) and high Cr levels (150 mg kg soil) added to the soil surface.
