Lightning Imaging Sensor (LIS) data have been analysed to ascertain the statistical pattern of lightning occurrence over southern Africa.The diurnal and seasonal variations are mapped in detail.The highest flash rates (107.2 km-2 y-1) occur close to the equator but maxima are also found over Madagascar (32.1 km-2 y-1) and South Africa (26.4 km-2 y-
Using immunohistochemistry, the study demonstrates the distribution of keratins (pan-keratin with CK1-8, 10, 14-16, 19; keratins CK1, 5, 6, 9, 10; girls romper hair keratins AE13, AE14) in the epidermis of the Malayan pangolin (Manis javanica).A varying reaction spectrum was observed for pan-keratin, with body region-dependent negative to very stro
Abstract Biotechnological processes Manganese use microbes to convert abundant molecules, such as glucose, into high-value products, such as pharmaceuticals, commodity and fine chemicals, and energy.However, from the outset of the development of a new bioprocess, it is difficult to determine the feasibility, expected yields, and targets for enginee
Zearalenone (ZEN) is a non-steroidal estrogenic mycotoxin produced by Fusarium species, which has been shown to be associated with reproductive disorders in livestock, and to a lesser extent with Inserts hyperoestrogenic syndromes in humans.The aim of this study was to characterize a Bacillus amyloliquefaciens strain with ZEN removal ability.A pure
