Bacterial Cheaters Evade Punishment by Cyanide
iScience, 2019 Summary: In all domains of life, mechanisms exist that protect cooperating groups from exploitation by cheaters. Recent observations with the bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa have suggested a paradigmatic cheater control mechanism in which cooperator ...

Cyanide adsorption from cassava wastewater onto calcined periwinkle shell
Journal of Degraded and Mining Lands Management, 2019 Local cassava processing industries produce large quantities of wastewater containing cyanide which is toxic in nature with negative impacts on the environment when disposed without treatment.

Identification of specific metabolic pathways as druggable targets regulating the sensitivity to cyanide poisoning. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Cyanide is a potent toxic agent, and the few available antidotes are not amenable to rapid deployment in mass exposures. As a result, there are ongoing efforts to exploit different animal models to identify novel countermeasures.

Cyanide overproduction impairs cellular bioenergetics in Down syndrome
NeurotherapeuticsCyanide exerts its toxic effects primarily by inhibiting mitochondrial Complex IV (Cytochrome c oxidase, CCOx). Recent studies have shown that mammalian cells can endogenously produce cyanide from glycine via a lysosomal pathway.

Dimethylstibine cyanide, an analogue of cacodyl cyanide [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series A, Containing Papers of a Mathematical and Physical Character, 1926 Abstract The combination of cyanogen bromide and organic arsines has been studied by Steinkopf and collaborators, who found that triethylarsine furnished an unstable cyanobromide hydrolysed by air to triethylarsine hydroxybromide, although the unhydrolysed product, triethylarsine cyanobromide, was eventually isolated in a special ...

Cyanide in breath as a marker for cyanide poisoning
, 2011 Approximately 120 people die every year due to fires in Sweden. A majority of the fire victims die due to toxic fire gases. Carbon monoxide is often thought to be the major cause of death. Still, another very toxic fire gas, hydrogen cyanide, is formed when materials containing nitrogen burn, e.g. wool or polyurethane foam.

Bacteriological Reviews, 1976 The susceptibility of cytochrome oxidases to cyanide means that cyanide is toxic to living cells and cyanide pollution causes great damage to microbial and other ecosystems. Cyanide pollution comes from both industrial wastes and a number of plants, many of agricultural importance, which are cyanogenic and release cyanide into the soil.

Cyanide intoxication by apricot kernels: A case report and literature review
Emergency Care Journal, 2019 Acute cyanide intoxication is a serious healthcare problem due to its potentially life threatening and fatal toxic effects. Ingestion of cyanide containing foods is an important source of cyanide poisoning and apricot kernels contain significant amounts ...

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Abruptly changing from aerobic to anaerobic conditions (sudden anaerobization) induced growth inhibition and a significant increase in intracellular labile ferrous iron in the aerotolerant anaerobe Amphibacillus xylanus. We found that free flavins mediate efficient electron transfer from NADH to ferric iron under anaerobic conditions, suggesting that ...

Alternatives to hypochlorite treatment for destruction of cyanide in effluent water. [PDF]
, 2004 This study focuses on the treatment of cyanide containing wastewater from a chemical process for cyanide liquor manufacture. An introduction to cyanide is given including legislation and governmental controls in place for Britain and the works.
