    Abstract: Sulfate-reducing bacteria are categories of bacteria and archaea that can obtain energy by oxidizing organic compounds or molecular hydrogen (H2) while reducing sulfate (SO42−) to hydrogen sulfide (H2S). By analysis, these organisms "respire" sulfate rather than oxygen, a form of anaerobic respiration, the oxidation of hydrogen by the primary genus... Show More

    Abstract: Male traits known to influence on female mating decision were also known to influence on male remating ability too. In Phorticella striata age of male effect on male remating and progeny production has been studied. It was noticed that middle aged male had greater percentage of remating than those of young and old males. In all the three male age c... Show More
