A new zinc hybrid guanidine catalyst [Zn{(R,R)TMGNMe2(1,2)ch}2](OTf)2 (C1) shows very high catalytic activity in the polymerization of cyclic esters and in the depolymerization of these polyesters. Using C1 in the ring‐opening polymerization of lactide and caprolactone under industrially relevant conditions, astonishing rate constants of the same order

Coupling Nitrogenous Organic Wastewater Treatment and Biorefinery via N‐Cycling Bacterium
The vast reservoir of nitrogenous organic pollutants in industrial wastewaters can serve as untapped carbon‐nitrogen resources. This study employs the newly discovered Paracoccus sp. ZQW‐1 as a versatile chassis to simultaneously achieve N‐methylpyrrolidone (NMP) wastewater depuration and polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) synthesis.

Methylation going sour: The first uncoupled fluorescence‐based assay was established to measure methyltransferase activity in a continuous fashion. Different use cases are presented, including the assay's compatibility with catalyst formulations other than purified enzymes, the determination of kinetic parameters, as well as the screening of a ...

Does Invasive Mammal Exclusion Restore an Ecosystem Function Mediated by Invertebrates?
Excluding invasive mammals is key to protecting native biodiversity, but it is unclear if their removal also restores ecosystem functions, especially those provided by invertebrates, such as decomposition, pollination and herbivory. Fenced ecosanctuaries on mainland New Zealand, which exclude most introduced mammals except mice, offer a unique ...
