Serum estrogenicity and biological responses in African catfish raised in wastewater ponds in Ghana by Asem-Hiablie, S., Church, C.D., Elliott, H.A., Shappell, N.W., Schoenfuss, H.L., Drechsel, Pay, Williams, C.F., Knopf, A., Dabie, M.Y.

“…Reuse of wastewater for aquaculture improves the efficient use of water and promotes sustainability but the potential effects of endocrine disrupting compounds including estrogens in wastewater is an emerging challenge that needs to be addressed. We examined the biological effects of wastewater-borne estrogens on African catfish (Clarias gariepinus) raised in a wastewater stabilization pond (WSP) of a functioning municipal wastewater treatment plant, a wastewater polishing pond (WWP) of a dysfunctional treatment plant, and a reference pond (RP) unimpacted by wastewater, located in Ghana. …”

Potential Role of Fungal Endophytes in Biological Nitrification Inhibition in Brachiaria Grass Species by Odokonyero, Kennedy, Acuña, Tina Botwright, Cardoso Arango, Juan Andrés, Jiménez Serna, Juan de la Cruz, Rao, Idupulapati M., Nuñez, Jonathan, Arango, Jacobo

“…Brachiaria species have the ability to suppress nitrification in soil by releasing an inhibitory compound called ‘brachialactone’ from its roots; a process termed biological nitrification inhibition (BNI). This study tested the hypothesis that endophytic association with Brachiaria grass improves BNI activity of root tissues and reduces nitrification in Brachiaria-cultivated soil. …”

True yams (Dioscorea): a biological and evolutionary link between eudicots and grasses by Mignouna, Hodeba D., Abang, Mathew M., Asiedu, Robert, Geeta, R.

“…Therefore, it represents an important biological link between the eudicots and grasses--groups that contain all the model flowering plant species--and has the potential to fill gaps in our knowledge of plant biology and evolution. …”

Is there a link between biological nitrification inhibition and mycorrhizal symbiosis in Brachiaria grasses? by Teutscherova, Nikola, Vásquez, Eduardo, Arévalo, Ashly, Chagueza, Yamileth, Díaz, Enna, Benito, Marta, Pulleman, Mirjam Margreet, Arango, Jacobo

“…The tropical grass species Brachiaria humidicola (Rendle) Schweick has the ability to release a substantial amount of exudates composed of substances inhibiting soil nitrification (a process known as Biological Nitrification Inhibition, BNI) which reduces N losses from soil and increases the plant nitrogen use efficiency. …”
