Tetrathionic Acid
Benz(a)Anthracenes
Seeds
Fruit
The fleshy or dry ripened ovary of a plant, enclosing the seed or seeds.
Pollination
The transfer of POLLEN grains (male gametes) to the plant ovule (female gamete).
Sulfur
Acidianus
A genus of facultatively anaerobic coccoid ARCHAEA, in the family SULFOLOBACEAE. Cells are highly irregular in shape and thermoacidophilic. Lithotrophic growth occurs aerobically via sulfur oxidation in some species. Distribution includes solfataric springs and fields, mudholes, and geothermically heated acidic marine environments.
Alcaligenaceae
Oxidoreductases Acting on Sulfur Group Donors
Oxidoreductases with specificity for oxidation or reduction of SULFUR COMPOUNDS.
Oxidation-Reduction
A chemical reaction in which an electron is transferred from one molecule to another. The electron-donating molecule is the reducing agent or reductant; the electron-accepting molecule is the oxidizing agent or oxidant. Reducing and oxidizing agents function as conjugate reductant-oxidant pairs or redox pairs (Lehninger, Principles of Biochemistry, 1982, p471).
Waste Disposal, Fluid
Water Purification
Any of several processes in which undesirable impurities in water are removed or neutralized; for example, chlorination, filtration, primary treatment, ion exchange, and distillation. It includes treatment of WASTE WATER to provide potable and hygienic water in a controlled or closed environment as well as provision of public drinking water supplies.
