For this reason, changes in bird migration patterns were addressed through non-parametric analysis of variance and temporal and beta diversity correlations during an ENSO event at Barra Norte Beach (BN) in Tuxpan, Ver., Mexico. The diversity of birds change from 53 species before the anomalies to 66 during the ENSO event, this gradient of change occurred to the diversity of migratory birds (from 21 to 32). These results may be an evidence that the high impact ENSO anomalies can modify bird migration patterns, which is supported by differences in medians richness (especially in migratory birds) as well as by positive and significant values in correlations in beta and alpha diversity. Finally, we conclude that the migratory route of Gulf of Mexico can serve as an alternative for the migration of birds during events such as ENSO phenomenon.","PeriodicalId":91326,"journal":{"name":"Journal of microbiology & experimentation","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47553671","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}

Occasionally a fever, dark urine, abdominal pain, and yellow tinged skin occur. The virus persists in the liver in about 75% to 85% of those initially infected. Early chronic infection typically has no symptoms.

In 1890, Muentz6 started to probe into the action process of bacteria in rock weathering and soil formation, which initiated the study of microbial weathering. Afterwards, Beijerinck7 discovered that microbes were involved in the oxidation and deposition of Mn in nature in 1931, who didn’t come singly but in pairs when Woksman8 reported that the microbial metabolites participated in geological processes, such as nitrifying bacteria, lichens, fungi and other acid-producing microorganisms in 1932. In many studies so far,9–11 it is believed that there are two main forms of microbial mineralization: one is BIM (bacteria-induced mineralization), generally nucleate and grow out of cells. The metabolites secreted by organisms are transported to the extracellular and react with ions and compounds in the environment, causing changes in pH-Eh in the solution or environment, leading to mineral deposition. The second is BCM (bacteria-controlled mineralization). Microorganism cells determine the form of mineral formation.12,13 In BCM, minerals are usually deposited inside the organic matrix or vesicles of biological cells, allowing organisms to control the nucleation and growth of minerals significantly, thus influencing the composition and size of mineralization. In cementbased materials, microbial mineralization is mainly used to repair cracks.14 In this study, the mechanism of microbial mineralization in the pores of cement-based materials and its effects on the pore structure were identified by the help of a numerical simulation of gradient mineralization.","PeriodicalId":91326,"journal":{"name":"Journal of microbiology & experimentation","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47932690","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}
