And grains are also an important source of our daily magnesium supply. Especially wheat in the western countries. But the amount of magnesium in wheat has gone down dramatically with on average 19,6 %, as the data of Guo have shown. This has among others to do with soils, varieties and fertilizing. In this article the focus is on fertilizing. How can we change fertilizing in order to get better and healthier grains? Here is made a comparison between conventional fertilizing, and fertilizing with extra seaweed and other sea minerals, or with rock flour, or silt. The available data make clear that the type of fertilizer makes a big difference. The data on Non Protein Nitrogen (NPN) are missing because they are not available in the historical records, nor in most actual analyses. High levels of NPN (a.o. nitrate; ammonium; nitrogen dioxide) are a serious health risk. The grains with conventional fertilizing are no longer in balance. Sodium has gone down dramatically. And from trials with ryegrass we know that extra sodium helps to restore the balance between the macro elements. Calcium in most grains is low, but the balance of Ca/P in the wheat from Normandy is much higher (= better) than in the other grains. And the Ca/P on silted soils is even better than on soils fertilized with seaweed and seaminerals as in Normandy. Not only the grains and the potatoes from Normandy are more in balance, even the dung of the cows shows a somewhat healthier balance than modern cow dung. But here we can’t draw conclusions yet, because the data from different eras and places are not really comparable. With a good quality of vermicompost the balance in crops can be restored also. But here the rule is that the feeding material for the worms is decisive. Magnesium is very important for human health. The first Homo’s Sapienses are found in areas where the soil is very high in magnesium. This magnesium is erupted there bij earth mantle volcanoes. Many important food crops also originated in these magnesium rich centers of origin. But others came from fault lines which originated from colliding earth crust plates which have a granitic origin.","PeriodicalId":405870,"journal":{"name":"Biogeosystem Technique","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124017827","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Of the ten media, two in which Aspergillus grew the fastest were selected. These media were concluded to be optimal for growth. Comparing the compositions of the media and the growth rate of Aspergillus in them, we found a key component that is a favorable factor for the growth of AM1 and the biodegradation of white phosphorus. This component was sodium nitrate (NaNO3). It has also been shown that copper sulphate (CuSO4) has no effect on the growth of Aspergillus in media with white phosphorus, regardless of the composition of these media. This result is in harmony with our previous findings. Furthermore, in the present work, attempts to increase the concentration of white phosphorus in the culture medium to values above 1 % are described for the first time. For this purpose, we added the following solvents to the culture media: dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and diesel, in which white phosphorus dissolves relatively well. Apparently, the presence of these substances adversely affects the growth of Aspergill. Therefore, the problem of further increasing the concentration of P4 remains an unanswered. White phosphorus, reacts with ions of divalent copper even at room temperature. and the Pridham-Gottlieb medium, which we have chosen for our purposes, contains copper sulfate in its composition. The addition of an emulsion of white phosphorus led to the formation of a black precipitate, which is evidence that a chemical reaction took place. Thus, the growth of microorganisms occurred in the presence of not so much white phosphorus as the products of its chemical transformations, and the experiments were not completely clean. Therefore, in the present study, we carried out further modification of the Pridham-Gottlieb nutrient medium, excluding from it not only phosphates as a source of phosphorus, but also copper sulfate. In addition, we compared the white phosphorus resistance of our A. niger strains AM1 and AM2, with three strains from the All-Russian Collection of Microorganisms (ARCM) (strains FW-650, * Corresponding author E-mail addresses: mindubaev-az@yandex.ru (A.Z. Mindubaev) Biogeosystem Technique, 2019, 6(2) 103 FW-2664 and FW-2731), as well as four different bacterial species. Though highest resistance was observed in strain AM1, the three strains of A. niger, sent from ARCM, also showed a higher resistance to white phosphorus than the bacteria. It was shown that exclusion of copper sulfate from the composition of the nutrient medium with white phosphorus does not prevent the growth of fungi. In addition, white phosphorus does not react with the formation of a precipitate and remains for a longer period under these conditions. This fact is a serious argument in favor of biodegradation and has practical applicability in the method of microbial detoxification of white phosphorus.
