Engineering Fluoroacetate Dehalogenase by Growth‐Based Selections on Non‐Natural Organofluorides [PDF]
We present a high‐throughput selection system to engineer fluoroacetate dehalogenases (FAcDs). By challenging E. coli populations that produce diverse FAcD libraries to grow on non‐natural organofluorides as their sole carbon source, we isolated a panel of FAcD variants with improved activity and altered substrate specificity.

Volatile Organic Compounds Emitted by Fungi Have Substantial Effects on Growth and Disease Resistance in Arabidopsis thaliana [PDF]
ABSTRACT Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted by certain fungi have previously been suggested to modulate plant development and their response to stresses. While some fungal species, such as Trichoderma harzianum, are known to produce VOCs, the production of VOCs in other phylogenetically divergent species, such as Mucor mucedo, was previously ...

Biodegradation of mono-, di- and trifluoroacetate by microbial cultures with different origins [PDF]
This work focused on the biodegradation of three structurally related fluoroacetates (FAs), mono- (MFA), di- (DFA) and trifluoroacetate (TFA), using as microbial inocula samples collected from a site with a long history of industrial contamination and ...

Atmospheric Photooxidation of Fluoroacetates as a Source of Fluorocarboxylic Acids
A 1080 L environmental chamber with in situ FTIR spectroscopy detection was used to study the product distribution and the mechanism of the Cl-initiated photooxidation of a series of fluoroacetates.

Exceptionally Mild, High-Yield Synthesis of α-Fluoro Acrylates
Novel achiral and chiral alkyl α-(1,3-benzothiazol-2-ylsulfonyl)-α-fluoroacetates can be readily synthesized by metalation−fluorination of (1,3-benzothiazol-2-ylsulfonyl)acetates.

Carbon Anodes for Low‐Temperature Nonaqueous Alkali Metal‐Ion Batteries
This review summarizes recent progress in carbon anodes for low‐temperature nonaqueous alkali‐metal ion batteries. Fundamental thermodynamic and kinetic limitations are examined, alongside a systematic discussion of graphite, hard carbon, and emerging carbon architectures.

Feral pigs (Sus scrofa) are important reservoirs for zoonotic and livestock pathogens in Australia, but robust information on the spatial distribution of pathogens in pig populations remains limited. We analysed serological data from a systematic, state‐wide surveillance program to investigate spatial heterogeneity in exposure to Brucella suis and ...

Myths, Furphies and Red Herrings Associated With Dingo Ecology and Management
ABSTRACT Variability in the inferential strength or reliability of different scientific studies creates uncertainty in the status of knowledge on a given subject, giving rise to multiple myths, furphies and red herrings in scientific discourse. This is particularly true in the case of dingo ecology and management in Australia, which exemplifies common ...
