Simple and Efficient Synthesis of Functionalized Cyclic Carbonate Monomers Using Carbon Dioxide

ACS Macro Letters, 2022
Aliphatic polycarbonates represent an important class of materials with diverse applications ranging from battery electrolytes, polyurethane intermediates, and materials for biomedical applications. These materials can be produced via the ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of six- to eight-membered cyclic carbonates derived from precursor 1,3- and 1,5 ...

Microbial carbon use efficiency in different ecosystems: A meta‐analysis based on a biogeochemical equilibrium model

Global Change Biology, 2023
Soil microbial carbon use efficiency (CUE) is a crucial parameter that can be used to evaluate the partitioning of soil carbon (C) between microbial growth and respiration.

Efficient carbon dioxide sequestration by using recombinant carbonic anhydrase

Process Biochemistry, 2018
Abstract Efficient biological carbon dioxide sequestration for slowing down the climate changes requires a highly active and stable carbonic anhydrase (CA). A CA from Mesorhizobium loti (i.e., MlCA) was first over-expressed in E. coli via different vectors and a concentration of up to 5 g/L was obtained with pET32a(+).

Nitrogen input enhances microbial carbon use efficiency by altering plant–microbe–mineral interactions

Global Change Biology, 2022
Microbial growth and respiration are at the core of the soil carbon (C) cycle, as these microbial physiological performances ultimately determine the fate of soil C.

Large‐scale importance of microbial carbon use efficiency and necromass to soil organic carbon

Global Change Biology, 2021
Optimal methods for incorporating soil microbial mechanisms of carbon (C) cycling into Earth system models (ESMs) are still under debate. Specifically, whether soil microbial physiology parameters and residual materials are important to soil organic C ...

Carbon Efficient Transport Management Using Multi-agent System

2014 IEEE 23rd International WETICE Conference, 2014
This paper presents a carbon efficient transport management system that uses agent-based technology to simulate the existing transport infrastructure of a city. By utilizing real-time information about the current use of transport infrastructure from different data sources (e.g. road-side sensors) the system is capable of providing guidance to everyday

Nitrogen addition to soil affects microbial carbon use efficiency: Meta‐analysis of similarities and differences in 13C and 18O approaches

Global Change Biology, 2022
The carbon use efficiency (CUE) of soil microorganisms is a critical parameter for the first step of organic carbon (C) transformation by and incorporation into microbial biomass and shapes C cycling in terrestrial ecosystems.

Carbon use efficiency diagnostics in Nannochloropsis salina

Algal Research, 2018
Abstract Carbon dioxide (CO2) can be a significant resource input affecting the cost of algae biomass production on an industrial scale. Improvements in biofuel productivity therefore require characterization of CO2 use efficiency (CUE). RuBisCO saturation with CO2 is an important factor influencing biomass productivity.

Unlocking Mechanisms for Soil Organic Matter Accumulation: Carbon Use Efficiency and Microbial Necromass as the Keys

Global Change Biology
Soil microorganisms transform plant‐derived C (carbon) into particulate organic C (POC) and mineral‐associated C (MAOC) pools. While microbial carbon use efficiency (CUE) is widely recognized in current biogeochemical models as a key predictor of soil ...

Microbial Carbon Use Efficiency and Growth Rates in Soil: Global Patterns and Drivers

Global Change Biology
Carbon use efficiency (CUE) of microbial communities in soil quantifies the proportion of organic carbon (C) taken up by microorganisms that is allocated to growing microbial biomass as well as used for reparation of cell components.
