Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and nitrogen containing aromatic compounds (NCACs) are characterized in soil extracts and laboratory standards by capillary electrochromatography (CEC) with laser-induced dispersed fluorescence (LIDF) detection using a liquid-nitrogen cooled charge-coupled device detector. The LIDF detection technique provides information on compound identity and, when coupled with the high separation efficiencies of the CEC technique, proves useful in the analysis of complex mixtures. Differences in fluorescence spectra also provide a means of identifying co-eluting compounds by using deconvolution algorithms. Detection limits range from 0.5 to 96x10(-10) M for selected PAHs and 0.9-3.7x10(-10) M for selected NCACs. Soil extracts are also injected onto the CEC column to evaluate chromatographic method performance with respect to complex samples and the ability to withstand exposure to environmental samples.

An obligately anaerobic, spore-forming sulphate-reducing bacterium, strain SB140, was isolated from a long-term continuous enrichment culture that was inoculated with peat soil from an acidic fen. Cells were immotile, slightly curved rods that stained Gram-negative. The optimum temperature for growth was 28 °C.

Plants produce defensive toxins to deter herbivores. In response, some specialized herbivores evolved resistance and even the capacity to sequester toxins, affecting interactions at higher trophic levels. Here, we test the hypothesis that potential natural enemies of specialized herbivores are differentially affected by plant toxins depending on their level of adaptation to the plant-herbivore system.

The root ducts play an important role in the plant's transport of nutrients from the soil. Based on the selective transport characteristics of plant roots, amino pillar[6]arene bionic porous root sub-nano channel membrane were constructed to remove Imazamox. Imazamox (IM) is an effective imidazolinone herbicide frequently utilized in soybean fields to control a wide range of annual grasses and broad-leaved weeds.
