Novel Anthraquinone Chlorination Contributes to Pigmentation and ATP Formation in Thermomyces dupontii

open access: yesMicrobial Biotechnology, Volume 18, Issue 10, October 2025.
This diagram illustrates the chlorination of anthraquinones and its biological functions in Thermomyces dupontii, elucidating how chlorination‐mediated fungal pigmentation promotes energy production and stress adaptation. (1) Extracellular Fenton Chemistry: Involves superoxide anion (O2−) and ferrous ion (Fe2+), which are two fundamental elements for ...

Landmines and Spatial Development

open access: yesEconometrica, Volume 93, Issue 5, Page 1739-1778, September 2025.
Landmines affect the lives of millions in many conflict‐ridden communities long after the end of hostilities. However, there is little research on the role of demining. We examine the economic consequences of landmine removal in Mozambique, the only country to transition from heavily contaminated in 1992 to mine‐free in 2015. First, we present the self‐
