Reactivity of Bioinspired Magnesium-Organic Networks under CO2 and O-2 Exposure

Klaus Kern, Magalí Alejandra Lingenfelder, Bart Willem Stel, Fernando Pablo Cometto, Daniel Eduardo Hurtado Salinas

Photosynthesis is the model system for energy conversion. It uses CO2 as a starting reactant to convert solar energy into chemical energy, i.e., organic molecules or biomass. The first and rate-determining step of this cycle is the immobilization and activ ...

Ultrastructural analysis of adult mouse neocortex comparing aldehyde perfusion with cryo fixation

Carl Petersen, Graham Knott, Natalya Korogod

Analysis of brain ultrastructure using electron microscopy typically relies on chemical fixation. However, this is known to cause significant tissue distortion including a reduction in the extracellular space. Cryo fixation is thought to give a truer repre ...

Phenotypic heterogeneity in metabolic traits among single cells of a rare bacterial species in its natural environment quantified with a combination of flow cell sorting and NanoSIMS

Anders Meibom, Stéphane Laurent Escrig, Martin Ackermann

Populations of genetically identical microorganisms residing in the same environment can display marked variability in their phenotypic traits; this phenomenon is termed phenotypic heterogeneity. The relevance of such heterogeneity in natural habitats is u ...
