  • The Dissemination of Magnitotactic Microorganisms in the Water Reservoirs of Georgia
    Russian Journal of Biological Research, 2018, 5(1) Copyright © 2018 by Academic Publishing House Researcher s.r.o. Published in the Slovak Republic Russian Journal of Biological Research Has been issued since 2014. E-ISSN: 2413-7413 2018, 5(1): 6-9 DOI: 10.13187/ejbr.2018.1.6 www.ejournal23.com The Dissemination of Magnitotactic Microorganisms in the Water Reservoirs of Georgia Magda D. Davitashvili a , *, Nana K. Natsvlishvili a, Gela S. Azikuri a a Iakob Gogebashvili Telavi State University, Georgia Abstract A search for magnetotactic bacteria was conducted in several water reservoirs of Georgia. At least five species of magnitotactic microorganisms reacting to geomagnetic field have been found. The majority of the organisms move in northern direction. Light and electron microscopic studies of the morphological features of these microorganisms have indicated that all magnetotactic cells contain magnetic domains, so-called magnetosomes. The shape, dimensions and intracellular guantity of these organeles are species – specific. Keywords: magnitotactic microorganisms, magnetic domains, magnetosomes, magnetotaxis, eutrophic lakes, microaerophiles, obligate anaerobes, biogenic magnetitis, enriched culture. 1. Introduction Microorganisms are one of the most interesting and at the same time rarely studied phenomena of the microbial world; they are oriented in the earth's magnetic field and are moving in the direction of magnetic lines of this field. These microbes i. e. Magnetotactic bacteria were discovered by Blakemore in 1975 (Lins de Barro, Eskuivel', 1989). During the last decade a number of researchers have identified some morpho-physiological and biochemical properties of such bacteria (Balkwill, Maratea, 1980; Bazylinski et al., 1988; Blakemore, 1975; Blakemore, 1932).

  • The Diversity and Abundance of Aquatic Insects in 5 Major Lakes of South Georgia
    The diversity and abundance of aquatic insects in 5 major lakes of South Georgia Bella Japoshvili, Zhanetta Shubitidze, Ani Bikashvili, Sophio Gabelashvili and Levan Mumladze Ilia State University Institute of Zoology Lab of Hydrobiology and Ichthyology Tbilisi, Georgia 8 September 2016 Tulcea Javakheti highland covers western part of South Georgian upland, which is surrounded by Trialeti range from the north and Samsar-Kechuti (Javakheti range) volcanic-tectonic highland from the east. Georgian-Turkish and Georgian-Armenian borders represent the southern margins of the region, while the Mtkvari Gorge is its western limit. Javakheti Region is characterized with uplifted plain relief on 1500-2200 m a.s.l. and less continental climate supports a vast amount of freshwater habitats (more than 60 lakes, mires and rivers). Javakheti upland is eminent by multitude of freshwater ecosystems and biodiversity, although much of the animal groups (especially invertebrate fauna) is poorly known. E.g. aquatic insects which represents the most diverse and important groups of freshwater ecosystems is strongly understudied in the area. Paravani Lake is located at an altitude of 2080 m. a.s.l, is the biggest lake for the country by its surface area 37.5 km², with its maximum depth reaching 3.3. m. Paravani lake is connected to the Saghamo Lake (4.8 km²) by the river Paravaini. Lake Khanchali is located in a large hallow (length 9 km) west of Ninostminda. The lake is very shallow. Khanchali was 5th largest lake in the country with the total area 13.3 km ² until more than 2/3 of it was drained.

  • Medicinal Ethnobotany of Wild Plants
    Kazancı et al. Journal of Ethnobiology and Ethnomedicine (2020) 16:71 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13002-020-00415-y RESEARCH Open Access Medicinal ethnobotany of wild plants: a cross-cultural comparison around Georgia- Turkey border, the Western Lesser Caucasus Ceren Kazancı1* , Soner Oruç2 and Marine Mosulishvili1 Abstract Background: The Mountains of the Western Lesser Caucasus with its rich plant diversity, multicultural and multilingual nature host diverse ethnobotanical knowledge related to medicinal plants. However, cross-cultural medicinal ethnobotany and patterns of plant knowledge have not yet been investigated in the region. Doing so could highlight the salient medicinal plant species and show the variations between communities. This study aimed to determine and discuss the similarities and differences of medicinal ethnobotany among people living in highland pastures on both sides of the Georgia-Turkey border. Methods: During the 2017 and 2018 summer transhumance period, 119 participants (74 in Turkey, 45 in Georgia) were interviewed with semi-structured questions. The data was structured in use-reports (URs) following the ICPC classification. Cultural Importance (CI) Index, informant consensus factor (FIC), shared/separate species-use combinations, as well as literature data were used for comparing medicinal ethnobotany of the communities. Results: One thousand five hundred six UR for 152 native wild plant species were documented. More than half of the species are in common on both sides of the border. Out of 817 species-use combinations, only 9% of the use incidences are shared between communities across the border. Around 66% of these reports had not been previously mentioned specifically in the compared literature.
