Potentilla recta, the sulphur cinquefoil [1] or rough-fruited cinquefoil, is a species of cinquefoil. It is native to Eurasia but it is present in North America as an introduced species, ranging through almost the entire continent except the northernmost part of Canada and Alaska. The plant probably originated in the Mediterranean Basin.
Potentilla / ˌ p oʊ t ən ˈ t ɪ l ə / [1] is a genus containing over 500 species of annual, biennial and perennial herbaceous flowering plants in the rose family, Rosaceae.. Potentillas may also be called cinquefoils in English, but they have also been called five fingers and silverweeds.
The sulfur cycle in marine environments has been well-studied via the tool of sulfur isotope systematics expressed as δ 34 S. The modern global oceans have sulfur storage of 1.3 × 10 21 g, [92] mainly occurring as sulfate with the δ 34 S value of +21‰. [93] The overall input flux is 1.0 × 10 14 g/year with the sulfur isotope composition ...
For example, some microbe species oxidize sulfide to sulfate and another species will reduce sulfate to elemental sulfur. As a result, a web of chemical pathways mediated by different microbial species transform elements such as carbon, sulfur, nitrogen, and hydrogen, from one species to another.
The genus Beggiatoa is diverse, with representatives occupying several habitats and niches, both in fresh and salt water. In the past, they have been confused as close relatives of Oscillatoria spp. (phylum Cyanobacteria) because they have similar morphology and motility, [8] but 5S rRNA analysis showed that members of Beggiatoa are phylogenetically distant from Cyanobacteria, and are instead ...
Purple non-sulfur bacteria, green non-sulfur bacteria, and heliobacteria are examples of bacteria that carry out this scheme of photoheterotrophy. Other organisms, including halobacteria and flavobacteria [ 8 ] and vibrios [ 9 ] have purple-rhodopsin-based proton pumps that supplement their energy supply.
Potentilla millefolia is a species of cinquefoil known by the common names cutleaf cinquefoil [1] and feather cinquefoil. It is native to Oregon , Nevada and eastern California , where it grows in moist mountain meadows and similar habitat. [ 1 ]
Some are lithotrophs that oxidize sulphur to create sulfuric acid as an energy source, thus requiring the microorganism to be adapted to very low pH (i.e., it is an acidophile as well as thermophile). These organisms are inhabitants of hot, sulfur-rich environments usually associated with volcanism, such as hot springs, geysers, and fumaroles.
