Variability in Genomic Patterns of Bacterial Communities Related to Tarmats and Quantification of Hydrocarbon Present in the Tarmats Deposited along the Qatar Coast
(Environmental Sciences, 2020 , Master Thesis)
Qatar has undergone a rapid transition from a fishing and small agriculture to an economy focused on oil and gas since 1960. Owing to the comparatively large level of oil and gas production, the region has become severely ...
Prospects of Biocrude Production Potential from Local Diatom
(Environmental Sciences, 2020 , Master Thesis)
A marine diatom Nitzchia reversa was grown in 5 sq. m open raceway pond (10
cm culture depth, 500 L culture volume) in the Qatari desert environment. After 7
days of growth, the final biomass density reached 0.52 g/L, ...
Linking Soil Chemical Parameters and Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungal Communities in Qatar
(Environmental Sciences, 2020 , Master Thesis)
Much of Qatar’s habitats are characterized by a hyper-arid climate, low rainfall
and scarce soil nutrients; all of which combine to create a stress-induced environment
for fungal development. Agricultural productivity ...
Investigation of the Role of Carbonic Anhydrase in Mineral Formation and Magnesium Incorporation by Bacteria from Qatari Sabkhas and Marine Sediments
(Biological and Environmental Science, 2020 , Master Thesis)
Mineral-forming bacteria are of great interest in arid environments specifically. These
environments are favorable for enhancing the microbial carbonate deposition that is
thought to largely influence the sedimentary ...
