Sulfur-cycling chemolithoautotrophic microbial community dominates a cold, anoxic, hypersaline Arctic spring

Background Gypsum Hill Spring, located in Nunavut in the Canadian High Arctic, is a rare example of a cold saline spring arising through thick permafrost. It perennially discharges cold (similar to 7 degrees C), hypersaline (7-8% salinity), anoxic (similar ...

Factors influencing the sulfate balance in pure phase C3S/C(3)A systems

Karen Scrivener, Franco Alberto Zunino Sommariva

Understanding the sulfate balance mechanism of cement is needed for an effective use of sustainable blended cements. Pure phase systems allow to study the interaction between sulfate and each of the phases involved in early age hydration separately. This p ...

Active sulfur cycling in the terrestrial deep subsurface

Rizlan Bernier-Latmani, Manon Frutschi, Emma Bell, Chen Qian

The deep terrestrial subsurface remains an environment where there is limited understanding of the extant microbial metabolisms. At Olkiluoto, Finland, a deep geological repository is under construction for the final storage of spent nuclear fuel. It is th ...

Kleptoplastidic benthic foraminifera from aphotic habitats: insights into assimilation of inorganic C, N and S studied with sub-cellular resolution

Anders Meibom, Charlotte Madeleine Nicole Lekieffre, Emmanuelle Geslin

The assimilation of inorganic compounds in foraminiferal metabolism compared to predation or organic matter assimilation is unknown. Here, we investigate possible inorganic-compound assimilation in Nonionellina labradorica, a common kleptoplastidic benthic ...

Segregation of Nickel/Iron Bimetallic Particles from Lanthanum Doped Strontium Titanates to Improve Sulfur Stability of Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Anodes

Oliver Kröcher, Davide Ferri, Patrick Simon Steiger, Andre Heel

Perovskite derived Ni catalysts offer the remarkable benefit of regeneration after catalyst poisoning or Ni particle growth through the reversible segregation of Ni from the perovskite-type oxide host. Although this property allows for repeated catalyst re ...

Synthesis and reactivity of a terminal uranium(IV) sulfide supported by siloxide ligands

Rosario Scopelliti, Marinella Mazzanti, Julie Renée Michelle Andrez

The reactions of the tetrasiloxide U(III) complexes [U(OSi(OtBu)3)4K] and [U(OSi(OtBu)3)4][K18c6] with 0.5 equiv. of triphenylphosphine sulfide led to reductive S-transfer reactions, affording the U(IV) sulfide complexes [SU(OSi(OtBu)3)4K2]2, 1, and [{SU(O ...

The cysteine desulfurase IscS of Mycobacterium tuberculosis is involved in iron sulfur cluster biogenesis and oxidative stress defence

Stewart Cole, Florence Pojer, Gaëlle Séraphine Kolly, Jan Lars Rybniker, Jeffrey Chen

The complex multiprotein systems for the assembly of protein-bound iron sulfur (Fe S) clusters are well defined in Gram-negative model organisms. However, little is known about Fe S cluster biogenesis in other bacterial species. The ISC (iron sulfur cluste ...

An unusual tandem-domain rhodanese harbouring two active sites identified in Desulfitobacterium hafniense

Christof Holliger, Julien Maillard, Emmanuelle Rohrbach, Laure Prat

The rhodanese protein domain is common throughout all kingdoms of life and is characterized by an active site cysteine residue that is able to bind sulfane sulfur and catalyse sulfur transfer. No unique function has been attributed to rhodanese-domain-cont ...

Investigation of Sulfate Attack by Experimental and Thermodynamic Means

Wolfgang Kunther

This work investigates sulfate attack in complex sulfate environments by exposing different binder types to various sulfate solutions and comparing predicted phase and volume changes with experimental data. The most important aspects of this work can be gr ...

The genome of the Gram-positive, metal- and sulfate-reducing bacterium Desulfotomaculum reducens strain MI-1

Rizlan Bernier-Latmani, Thomas Junier, Nicholas Wigginton

P>Spore-forming, Gram-positive sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) represent a group of SRB that dominates the deep subsurface as well as niches in which resistance to oxygen and dessication is an advantage. Desulfotomaculum reducens strain MI-1 is one of the ...

Identification and characterization of proteins supporting dehalorespiration in Desulfitobacterium hafniense strain TCE1

Laure Prat

Respiration is a fundamental catalytic process in the aerobic and anaerobic energy metabolism of many prokaryotic and most eukaryotic organisms. The major difference between these organisms is that various organic and inorganic substrates can be used to do ...

Trace gas and aerosol interactions in the fully coupled model of aerosol-chemistry-climate ECHAM5-HAMMOZ: 2. Impact of heterogeneous chemistry on the global aerosol distributions

Isabelle Bey, Luca Pozzoli

We use the ECHAM5-HAMMOZ aerosol-chemistry-climate model to quantify the influence of trace gas–aerosol interactions on the regional and global distributions and optical properties of aerosols for present-day conditions. The model includes fully interactiv ...

Studying sulfur functional groups in Norway spruce year rings using S L-edge total electron yield spectroscopy

Christian Ludwig, Rudolf Paul Wilhelm Jozef Struis

Profiles of the major sulfur functional groups in mature Norway spruce wood tissue have been established for the first time. The big challenge was the development of a method suitable for sulfur speciation in samples with very low sulfur content (
