Coral Productivity Is Co-Limited by Bicarbonate and Ammonium Availability

Microorganisms, 2020
The nitrogen environment and nitrogen status of reef-building coral endosymbionts is one of the important factors determining the optimal assimilation of phototrophic carbon and hence the growth of the holobiont. However, the impact of inorganic nutrient

Thermodynamic and Kinetic Aspects of Calcium Oxalate Crystallization and Renal Lithiasis

Biomolecules
Thermodynamic factors (supersaturation of substances that form crystals) and kinetic factors (heterogeneous nucleants and crystallization inhibitors) affect the formation of crystals and stones in the urinary tract.

Association of serum fetuin-A and biochemical parameters in hemodialysis patients. [PDF]

, 2014
Fetuin-A, a hepatic glycoprotein present in the circulation, is a potential inhibitor for systemic calcification. The main aim of this study was to evaluate the association between fetuin-A and other biochemical parameters as facilitator factors for ...

Pharmacokinetics and Ex Vivo Activity of 7-Methylxanthine, an Inhibitor of Monosodium Urate Crystallization

Biomedicines
Background/Objectives: 7-Methylxanthine (7-MX) is a naturally occurring metabolite of caffeine and theobromine that can inhibit the crystallization of monosodium urate (MSU) and may be useful for the prevention or treatment of gout.

Acclimatization Drives Differences in Reef-Building Coral Calcification Rates

Diversity, 2020
Coral reefs are susceptible to climate change, anthropogenic influence, and environmental stressors. However, corals in Kāneʻohe Bay, Hawaiʻi have repeatedly shown resilience and acclimatization to anthropogenically-induced rising temperatures and ...

Seagrass meadows mixed with calcareous algae have higher plant productivity and sedimentary blue carbon storage

Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Seagrass meadows capture and store large amounts of carbon in the sediment beneath, thereby serving as efficient sinks of atmospheric CO2. Carbon sequestration levels may however differ greatly among meadows depending on, among other factors, the plant ...

Seagrass can mitigate negative ocean acidification effects on calcifying algae [PDF]

, 2019
The ultimate effect that ocean acidification (OA) and warming will have on the physiology of calcifying algae is still largely uncertain. Responses depend on the complex interactions between seawater chemistry, global/local stressors and species-specific
