Metal sulphates are one of the major contributors to acid mine drainage (AMD) or acid rock
drainage (ARD). AMD occurs by the oxidation of metal sulphides. Sulphides produce …

Dissimilatory sulphate reduction is the unifying and defining trait of sulphate-reducing
prokaryotes (SRP). In their predominant habitats, sulphate-rich marine sediments, SRP have …

The dominant process adding nitrogen (N) to the ocean, di-nitrogen (N2) fixation, is
mediated by prokaryotes (diazotrophs) sensitive to a variety of environmental factors. In …

Seagrass meadows are ecologically and economically important components of many
coastal areas worldwide. Ecosystem services provided by seagrasses include reducing the …

Seagrasses possess similar organs and tissues as the other flowering plants. Nearly all-
mature flowering plants have distinctive above and below ground parts. The exceptions are …

Microbial assemblage as biofilm around the aquatic plant forms a firm association that
largely depends upon the mutual supplies of nutrients, eg, microbes interact with plants in …

Biological dinitrogen (N 2) fixation is the primary input of fixed nitrogen (N) into the marine
biosphere, making it an essential process contributing to the biological functions of all …

This review shows that the presence of seagrass microbial community is critical for the
development of seagrasses; from seed germination, through to phytohormone production …

Seagrasses develop extensive beds at the interface between the water column and
sediment in tidal or subtidal environments. The height of seagrass canopy ranges from a few …

Tropical seagrasses are nutrient-limited owing to the strong phosphorus fixation capacity of
carbonate-rich sediments, yet they form densely vegetated, multispecies meadows in …
