FALL 2010 MB535-Lab Genomic Analysis (4 credits) Tuesday lecture 2:00-3:15 Thursday laboratory 2:00-5:00 LOCATION:TBA Note from Marcie: enrollment is strictly limited to 12 and there are only 10 spots left. I am trying to get a head count for the fall as graduate students usually do not register until then. Please send me an email if you intend on taking this class. Professor Marcie McClure marsmcclure@gmail.com Learn the basics of Bioinformatics: database searching, sequence analysis, phylogenetic reconstruction and in silico research design. Take advantage of biological databases that will inform and direct your future research agenda.

Results Plant Biomass BACKGROUND Mycorrhizae in Hydrothermally-Altered Soils of Yellowstone National Park R. A. Bunn and C. A. Zabinski Department of Land Resources and Environmental Science, Montana State University, Bozeman Soil Chemistry In September 2000, we collected rhizosphere soils adjacent to thermal features (thermal) and in areas approximately 10 m from thermal features (background) near Rabbit Creek in Midway Geyser Basin. 4.5 2.3 mg Kg-1 Zn2 12.8 – 4 mg Kg-1 P3 75–100% <25% Vegetative Cover 98.2 7.2 mg Kg-1 Mn2 48.5 181.3 mg Kg-1 Fe2 0.62 0.81 mg Kg-1 Cu2 5.42 3.78 pH1 0.49 2.22 mmhos cm-1 EC1 26 35 oC Temp Background (n=4) Thermal (n=8) Characteristics Notes 1. 2:1 ratio of deionized water to soil 2. Available concentrations by DTPA-TEA extraction, and ICP analysis Olsen method Not measured Yellowstone’s hydrothermal sites are located on a 6,500 km2 volcanic region that has been intermittently active for at least 2.2 million years (Christiansen 1984). Site Description Thermal soils range from alkaline chloride to acid sulfate chemistry. In the latter, acidification and acid leaching are major processes removing plant nutrients relative to non-hydrothermal soils. ABSTRACT Our research focuses on arbuscular mycorrhizae in the hydrothermally-altered soils of Yellowstone National Park. Sparse vegetation cover, acidic to alkaline soils, elevated root...

Facts about CBM and water

Facts about CBM and water

Extraction of CBM requires withdrawal of water from coal seams containing methane. Projections call for disposal or management of one quarter million acre-feet of product water annually in the Powder River Basin. Common signature of CBM product water is salinity, sodicity, ammonia, bicarb, minor other constituents.

Septic Tank x Drain Field Biological and Chemical Functions BOD5 = the biological oxygen demand, i.e., the quantity of oxygen consumed by microorganisms during a 4-day period, in the process of organic substrate decomposition. BOD is a surrogate measure or gauge (somewhat like a scale) of the amount of biodegradable organic material in sewage or wastewater. Thus, a high BOD means that the wastewater contains a high concentration of biodegradable organic material. Ideal - < 1 mg/l Impaired water – 2-8 mg/l Treated effluent discharge - < 20 mg/l Untreated sewage – 200-600 mg/l

Background Information

Background Information

Extraction of CBM requires withdrawal of large amounts of water from coal seams containing methane. Projections call for disposal or management of one quarter million acre-feet of product water annually in the Powder River Basin. Water quality issue: common signature of CBM product water is salinity x sodicity at varying levels.
