Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In recent years, biochar has been studied for its range of applications. Recognized by the IPCC as a key Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) strategy, it also stands out as an important tool for reclaiming degraded lands, including vast global areas affected by salinity, such as those in China, India, and Australia.

Extracellular Proteins: Novel Key Components of Metal Resistance in Cyanobacteria? [PDF]
, 2016 Metals are essential for all living organisms and required for fundamental biochemical processes. However, when in excess, metals can turn into highly-toxic agents able to disrupt cell membranes, alter enzymatic activities, and damage DNA.

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.Abstract The demand for efficient image sorting methods has increased due to technological advancements that enable more intensive phytoplankton monitoring. Both statistical and machine learning algorithms can misidentify algal taxa in taxonomically diverse samples, in which phytoplankton morphology and image traits can vary.

New Plant Protection, EarlyView.We developed a genome‐integrated CRISPR/Cas12a system for Xenorhabdus budapestensis XBD8, which enables precise deletion or replacement of DNA fragments ranging from 379 to 45,168 bp, with a success rate exceeding 90%. Application of this tool for the dynamic regulation of fabclavine‐8 biosynthesis resulted in a 1.90‐fold increase in production ...

Interplanetary frontiers: terraforming from an invasion science perspective
Oikos, EarlyView.The pursuit of a multi‐planetary existence represents one of humanity's greatest frontiers. If applied justly, it offers an opportunity to extend its civilization's lifespan amid escalating sustainability crises on Earth. One approach increasingly gaining traction is terraforming, a hitherto theoretical ecological and evolutionary experiment revolving ...

Multitrophic alpha and beta diversity of lake plankton across Canada
Oikos, EarlyView.Anthropogenic environmental changes impact freshwater biodiversity globally. While biodiversity assessments in freshwater environments have traditionally focused on individual groups of organisms or trophic levels, considering patterns of ‘multitrophic biodiversity' across the food web provides a more comprehensive view of anthropogenic impacts and ...

Heterocyte glycolipids indicate polyphyly of stigonematalean cyanobacteria
, 2019 International audienceThe cyanobacterial phylum is currently divided into five subsections (I-V), with the latter two containing no or false-branching (nostocalean) and true-branching (stigonematalean) cyanobacteria.

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The role of the cell envelope‐associated Rv0132c/FGD2 from Mycobacterium tuberculosis has long been a subject of debate. Importantly, FGD2 is found only in pathogenic mycobacteria, making it a potential drug target. While some suggest it functions as a glucose‐6‐phosphate dehydrogenase, others propose it acts instead as an F420‐dependent ...
