Record 1 2003-07-08

English

Subject field(s)
  • Chemical Elements and Compounds
CONT

The biochemical process whereby ammoniacal nitrogen is released from nitrogen-containing organic compounds. Soil bacteria decompose organic nitrogen forms in soil to the ammonium form. This process is referred to as ammonification. The mount of nitrogen released for plant uptake by this process is most directly related to the organic matter content. The initial breakdown of a urea fertilizer may also be termed as an ammonification process.

CONT

The oxidation of iron and manganese salts is the result of bacterial growth fostered by the presence of ammonia (ammoniacal nitrogen is an essential element in bacterial nutrition).

French

Domaine(s)
  • Éléments et composés chimiques
CONT

L'oxydation des sels de fer et de manganèse est le résultat de développements bactériens favorisés par la présence d'ammoniaque (l'azote ammoniacal est un élément essentiel de la nourriture bactérienne).

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Elementos y compuestos químicos
DEF

Nitrógeno combinado en forma de amoniaco (NH3) o amonio (NH4+). El amoniaco y el amonio son gases que se producen de forma natural por fermentaciones microbianas de productos nitrogenados, por ejemplo en la descomposición de proteínas o urea.

Record 3 1994-04-22

English

Subject field(s)
  • Biochemistry
CONT

A transport protein function has a symport that couples accumulation of the anion to the inward diffusion of H plus ....

CONT

Functional characteristics of the sugar-H+ symport proteins from magic-angle spinning NMR... A theoretical description of initial uptake kinetics of H+/sugar symport is given, with emphasis on the differences between carrier and non-carrier systems... Symport mechanisms as the basis of solute transport in yeast and mouse ascites tumor cells... [Source : PASCAL database].

French

Domaine(s)
  • Biochimie
CONT

Le PH cytosolique et l'activité de la pompe à protons sont étudiés en relation avec leur rôle régulateur dans le transport des acides aminés à travers la membrane plasmique et sont reliés à la force dirigeant le symport H SUP +/aminoacide, le gradient de proton électrochimique.
