Geminiviruses(family Geminiviridae) are small single-stranded(ss) DNA [deoxyribonucleic acid] viruses infecting plants. Their virion morphology is unique in the known viral world – two incomplete... icosahedra are joined together to form twinned particles. Geminiviruses utilize a rolling-circle mode to replicate their genomes. 2, record 1, English, - geminivirus

A measurement of the completeness of an incomplete chemical reaction. It is defined as the negative logarithm(to the base 10) of the equilibrium constant, K, for the reaction in question. The pK is most frequently used to express the extent of dissociation or the strength of weak acids... In a solution of weak acid, if the concentration of undissociated acid is equal to the concentration of the anion of the acid, the pK will be equal to the pH. 1, record 2, English, - pK

During fermentation organic matter is decomposed in the absence of air(oxygen) ;hence, there is always an accumulation of reduction products, or incomplete oxidation products.... There are also many microbiological processes that go on in the presence of air while yielding incomplete oxidation products. Good examples are the formation of acetic acid(vinegar) from alcohol by vinegar bacteria, and of citric acid from sugar by certain molds.... 4, record 4, English, - aerobic%20fermentation

fermentation : Transformation de la matière organique sous l'influence d'organismes microscopiques qui sécrètent des enzymes. [...] Elle peut se produire en l'absence d'oxygène libre (fermentation anaérobie, telle la transformation du sucre en alcool et en gaz carbonique sous l'influence des levures) ou à l'air libre (fermentation aérobie, telle la transformation de l'alcool en acide acétique, ou vinaigre). 3, record 4, French, - fermentation%20a%C3%A9robie

La fermentation de la matière végétale. On distingue deux types de fermentation : 1. La première a lieu à l'air libre : elle est appelée dégradation aérobie. L'activité de certaines bactéries provoque la décomposition de la matière végétale. Cette décomposition dégage du gaz carbonique et de l'ammoniaque. Elle donne un sous-produit solide, le compost, qui est un excellent engrais naturel. [...] 2. La fermentation méthanique. 4, record 4, French, - fermentation%20a%C3%A9robie
