Metabolic Performance and Fate of Electrons during Nitrate-Reducing Fe(II) Oxidation by the Autotrophic Enrichment Culture KS Grown at Different Initial Fe/N Ratios

Autotrophic nitrate-reducing Fe(II)-oxidizing (NRFeOx) microorganisms fix CO2 and oxidize Fe(II) coupled to denitrification, influencing carbon, iron, and nitrogen cycles in pH-neutral, anoxic environments. However, the distribution of electrons from Fe(II ...

Accounting for foliar gradients in Vc(max) and J(max) improves estimates of net CO2 exchange of forests

Christoph Bachofen

Vertical gradients in the canopy represent a major challenge for scaling from foliar photosynthesis to ecosystem-level CO2 fluxes. We tested whether accounting for independent gradients of carboxylation capacity (Vc(max)) and photosynthetic electron transp ...

Anhydrous Conditions Enable the Catalyst-Free Carboxylation of Aromatic Alkynes with CO2 under Mild Conditions

Paul Joseph Dyson, Marinella Mazzanti, Felix Daniel Bobbink, Davide Toniolo

The direct carboxylation of aromatic alkynes with CO2, a cheap and widely available C1 source, is the most attractive method for the synthesis of carboxylic acids. Here we show that direct carboxylation of terminal alkynes can be simply performed in near-q ...

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 ...

Design of Surface-Supported Bio-inspired Networks for CO2 and O2 Activation at Room Temperature

Daniel Eduardo Hurtado Salinas

The structure of a biological system defines its function. Therefore, nature has developed sophisticated systems that catalyze chemical reactions that are vital for life on earth. For instance, the photosynthesis is a biological process that is partially r ...

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 ...

Quantitative Mass Spectrometry Reveals Plasticity of Metabolic Networks in Mycobacterium smegmatis

John McKinney, Tarun Chopra, Romain Hamelin, Florence Armand, Diego Chiappe, Marc Moniatte

Mycobacterium tuberculosis has a remarkable ability to persist within the human host as a clinically inapparent or chronically active infection. Fatty acids are thought to be an important carbon source used by the bacteria during long term infection. Catab ...

Endosomes: Guardians Against [Ru(Phen)3]2+ Photo-action In Endothelial Cells During In Vivo pO2 Detection?

Georges Wagnières, Veronika Huntosova

Phototoxicity is a side-effect of in vitro and in vivo oxygen partial pressure (pO(2)) detection by luminescence lifetime measurement methods. Dichlorotris(1,10-phenanthroline)-ruthenium(II) hydrate (Ru(Phen)(3)) is a water soluble pO(2) probe associ ...
