Seed Dispersal of Halophytes in Tidal Salt Marshes

1 Dispersal of halophyte propagules by tidal currents was studied in transects along the tidal gradient in a salt marsh in the Netherlands using standing nets fixed to the soil surface and floating nets. 2 Significant interspecific differences were found in propagules caught in standing or in floating nets. 3 The transport of propagules was mainly determined by the tidal currents: neither wind direction or speed nor the height of the high tide played a significant role. 4 In the vegetated marsh a net upward transport of propagules with the flood currents was found. Comparatively few propagules were transported into the marsh from elsewhere with the incoming tide; a significantly higher number of propagules was transported out of the marsh with the ebb currents. 5 There was substantial exchange of propagules within the marsh. Export of propagules especially of species growing in the lower parts of the marsh indicate a potential exchange between different salt marshes.

Growth of Candida guilliermondii FTI 20037 on mixed substrate

Candida guilliermondii FTI 20037 was grown on a mixed substrate comprising glucose and xylose. Inocula were grown using xylose or glucose as carbon source. Results showed that xylose utilization was delayed until glucose was utilized. Inoculum prepared on glucose showed a lag phase in xylose consumption. Cell mass production was higher when glucose was utilized during fermentation
