Utilization of microbial abundance and diversity as indicators of the origin of soil aggregates produced by earthworms

2013

This study aimed at testing the capability of microbial community structure and abundance to be used as bioindicators of the origin of earthworm cast aggregates. Compact surface casts produced by Amynthas khami and surrounding aggregates lacking visible signs of biological activity (control) were left to disaggregate by natural rainfall and separated into four size classes (5-2, 2-0.5, 0.5-0.25 and <0.25 mm). The genetic structure and the abundance of the bacterial and fungal communities were characterized using B- and F-ARISA fingerprinting approach and quantitative PCR directly from DNA extracted from soil. Bacteria and to a lesser extent fungi were more abundant in casts than in control …

Finding the missing link between diversity and activity using denitrifying bacteria as a model functional community

2005

The recent development and application of numerous methods mainly based on 16S rDNA analyses have brought insights into the questions of which and how many bacterial populations can be found in a given ecosystem. A new and challenging question for microbial ecologists has emerged from the exploration of this diversity: what is its significance for ecosystem functioning? We propose the denitrifying bacteria as a model microbial community for understanding the relationship between community structure and activity, and have summarized the recent progress in studies of this functional community.

Genetic characterization of the nitrate reducing community based on narG nucleotide sequence analysis.

2003

The ability of facultative anerobes to respire nitrate has been ascribed mainly to the activity of a membrane-bound nitrate reductase encoded by the narGHJI operon. Respiratory nitrate reduction is the first step of the denitrification pathway, which is considered as an important soil process since it contributes to the global cycling of nitrogen. In this study, we employed direct PCR, cloning, and sequencing of narG gene fragments to determine the diversity of nitrate-reducing bacteria occurring in soil and in the maize rhizosphere. Libraries containing 727 clones in total were screened by restriction fragment analysis. Phylogenetic analysis of 128 narG sequences separated the clone famili…

Impact on flavour release of the structure of composite gels containing polysaccharides: Example of the fruit préparations

2006

The main objective of this study was to understand the respective rôle of the structure of a food product and of the physicochemical interactions on flavour release. For that purpose, fruit préparations hâve been chosen as model matrices. Those matrices contain a polysaccharide as gelling agent, a cross-linked waxy corn starch (1.4%), a high sucrose content (35%), an acidic buffer and a strawberry aroma (17 molécules). Four matrices were developed by modifying either the composition or the concentration in gelling agent: two matrices of similar texture containing either LM pectin or carrageenan, and two carrageenan based matrices with différent gelled structures. In a first step; two comple…

Mise en évidence de corps d'origine cosmique probable au sein de la formation de Carnot (République Centrafricaine)

1992

Resume Deux etudes realisees independamment l'une de l'autre, ont permis de mettre en evidence, au sein de la Formation de Carnot, formation fluviatile mesozoique, d'une part des spherules magnetiques recuperees dans les residus d'un forage (zone de Boyali), d'autre part une anomalie magnetique tres localisee (sur 270 metres de long) traduisant la presence d'un corps decametrique a forte magnetisation remanente (zone de Gambondo). Ces deux elements magnetiques ont une origine cosmique probable. Ils correspondent a des micrometeorites et a une meteorite ayant atteint l'ouest de la Republique Centrafricaine entre l'Albien et le Maastrichtien.

A simple algorithm to estimate evapotranspiration from DAIS data: Application to the DAISEX campaigns

2005

DOI:10.1016/j.jhydrol.2005.03.027; The knowledge of evapotranspiration is of great interest in many applications such as assessing irrigation water use. In this paper, a methodology is presented to estimate evapotranspiration using the surface energy balance model S-SEBI (Simplified Surface Energy Balance Index) and the evaporative fraction. The method is applicable under the assumptions of constant atmospheric conditions and sufficient wet and dry pixels over the image. The model uses remotely sensed parameters such as albedo, MSAVI (Modified Soil Adjusted Vegetation Index) and surface temperature and emissivity images. The methodology has been applied over the Barrax test site, located in…

Importance de la variabilité génétique bactérienne sur le fonctionnement de la symbiose Rhizobium leguminosarum biovar viciae avec le pois (Pisum sat…

2008

Les irrégularités de rendement et de teneur en protéine des graines que présente la culture du pois sont, en partie, liées à des problèmes de nutrition azotée. En tant que légumineuse, la nutrition azotée du pois repose à la fois sur la fixation symbiotique de l’azote atmosphérique et sur l’absorption racinaire des nitrates du sol. Notre principal objectif a été de déterminer si le partenaire bactérien, Rhizobium leguminosarum biovar viciae (Rlv), peut être un facteur limitant de la nutrition azotée et du rendement du pois. La variabilité génétique des Rlv et les facteurs influençant la structure des populations de Rlv à l'état libre et symbiotiques ont été étudiés. La signification de la d…

Évolution de la durée et du tempo dans les enregistrements du Sacre du printemps d’Igor Stravinski de 1929 à 2019. Une cartographie des styles d’inte…

2022

Le Sacre du printemps constitue une oeuvre clé pour l’histoire de l’enregistrement et pour la musicologie de l’interprétation. Igor Stravinski considérait ses enregistrements comme établissant un modèle d’interprétation faisant autorité, mais c’est un fait connu qu’il ne respecte pas ses propres indications de tempo et fait un usage plus ou moins important du rubato. Ces incertitudes sur les tempi ont créé le doute et ont ouvert un espace de liberté pour les interprètes. Cet article s’est donné pour objectif d’examiner à nouveaux frais l’évolution de l’interprétation du Sacre des points de vue de la durée et du tempo. Le recours à un vaste corpus de 96 versions discographiques enregistrées …
