Molecular detection of uncultured cyanobacteria and aminotransferase domains for cyanotoxin production in sediments of different Kenyan lakes
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2009-04-15)
PCR-based denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) analysis of 16S rRNA
gene fragments was used to identify the cyanobacterial phylotypes in sediments
and plankton of saline–alkaline and freshwater lakes of Kenya. ...
Changes of phytoplankton communities in Lakes Naivasha and Oloidien, examples of degradation and salinization of lakes in the Kenyan Rift Valley
(Springer, 2009)
Increasing degradation of the water quality,
caused by overuse and salinization, leads to
considerable changes of the phytoplankton composition
in Kenyan Rift Valley lakes. Exemplarily, the
phytoplankton communities ...

Long-term effects of tillage, sub-soiling, and profile strata on properties of a Vitric Andosol in the Kenyan highlands
(2008-09)
Tillage alters the structure and composition of soil aggregates affecting infiltration rate (IR) and hydraulic conductivity (K). This study investigated the long-term effects of conventional, minimum, and no-tillage with ...
