Soybean rust on the leaves of soybean plants and eventually kills the plants. The disease has caused serious yield loss of soybeans. In the areas where this disease is common, the yield losses can be up to 80%. In 2002, USDA reported 10-60% of yield losses in South America and Africa. Soybean rust is caused by two types of fungi, "Phakopsora pachyrhizi" and "Phakopsora meibomiae". It affects several important commercial plants, however, most notable for soybeans. Asian Soybean Rust can infect and reproduce on 90 known plant species, 20 of which are found in the United States, such as, soybeans, dry beans,
Aerobic organism Aerotolerant organisms must continue fermentation in the presence of oxygen. A good example is the oxidation of glucose (a monosaccharide) in aerobic respiration. Oxygen is used during the oxidation of glucose and water is produced. This equation is a summary of what happens in three series of biochemical reactions: glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation. Aerobic organism An aerobic organism or aerobe is an organism that can survive and grow in an oxygenated environment. In contrast, an anaerobic organism (anaerobe) is any organism that does not require oxygen for growth. Some anaerobes react negatively or even die if oxygen
