Abstract The Lyme disease pathogen Borrelia burgdorferi contains a highly reduced genome lacking many primary metabolic pathways. However, B. burgdorferi retains the mevalonate pathway that synthesizes isopentenyl pyrophosphate (IPP), the precursor to the peptidoglycan carrier lipid.

Deciphering isoprene variability across dozen of Chinese and overseas cities using deep transfer learning [PDF]
Isoprene, the globally most abundant volatile organic compound, significantly impacts air quality. Determining isoprene concentration variations and their drivers is a persistent challenge.

Clogmia albipunctata Larvae Influence the Odour Dynamics of Rotting Organic Matter
Drain flies live in organic waste. We investigated how drain fly larvae influence the unpleasant smells produced by sewage sludge and rotting nettle. Although the perception of these smells did not change significantly according to the public, chemical analyses showed that sewage sludge with drain fly larvae yielded a different composition of odors ...

Jasmonate signalling underpins establishment of plant systemic acquired resistance (SAR). Activation of the hypersensitive response (HR) not only contains the pathogen but establishes broad spectrum resistance in unchallenged leaves. The strong burst of reactive oxygen/nitrogen species initiating the HR results in lipid peroxidation (illustrated by ...

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 ...

Weak Tropical Tropospheric OH Response to Idealized ENSO
Abstract The hydroxyl radical (OH) is a key oxidant for methane. Previous studies suggest that OH exhibits interannual variability linked to the El Nino–Southern Oscillation (ENSO), but the sign, magnitude, and underlying mechanisms of this response remain uncertain.

The Role of Lightning in Atmospheric Chemistry
Abstract Lightning has important effects on atmospheric constituents in primarily the middle and upper troposphere. We summarize the effects of lightning on atmospheric chemistry that have been published since the last major review in 2007. The estimates of NOx production by lightning (LNOx) are based on five methods: theoretical/laboratory estimates ...

Abstract Hot extremes have increased globally and on a regional scale. Traditional data processing methods to understand air quality changes in hot extremes may not adequately describe variations in directly emitted air pollutants like nitrogen oxides (NOx) or volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and their influence on secondary species such as ozone (O3).

Abstract Ground‐level ozone and secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formation in urban‐rural environments involves complex interactions between nitrogen oxides (NOx) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). This study employed WRF‐Chem version 4.2 with SAPRC99 chemistry to investigate ozone and SOA formation in the Triad region NC during peak photochemical ...

Abstract Aerosol radiative effects are the largest uncertainty in anthropogenic forcing estimates due to challenges in accurately representing aerosol properties and aerosol‐cloud interactions. In this study, we implement the Advanced Particle Microphysics module (APM) into the Energy Exascale Earth System Model (E3SMv3) to represent evolving size ...
