Background:
A feature of the health of men across Europe is their higher rates of premature mortality and shorter
life expectancy at birth than women. Following the publication of the first State of Men’s Health in Europe ...
Characterization of mineral phosphate solubilization traits from a barley rhizosphere soil functional metagenome.
(John Wiley & Sons, 2013)
Mineral phosphate solubilization (MPS) microorganisms are important for their provision of orthophosphate anions for plant growth promotion activity in soil. In this study, we applied a functional metagenomic approach to ...

This research is a mixed-method case study of the organisational culture of market orientated companies. Market orientation occupies an important position in marketing and strategy literature. Research has acknowledged ...
Bumblebee (Hymenoptera: Apidae) sample storage for a posteriori molecular studies: Interactions between sample storage and DNA-extraction techniques.
(Institute of Entomology, 2013)
A global decline in pollinator abundance and diversity has demanded increased research attention to the ecology and genetics of bumblebees. However, as progressively more restrictions are placed on sampling for insects, ...
Genome sequence reveals that Pseudomonas fluorescens F113 possesses a large and diverse array of systems for rhizosphere function and host interaction
(BioMed Central, 2013)
Background: Pseudomonas fluorescens F113 is a plant growth-promoting rhizobacterium (PGPR) isolated from the
sugar-beet rhizosphere. This bacterium has been extensively studied as a model strain for genetic regulation ...
