Whole-Genome Shotgun (WGS) Sequence of cis -Isoprene Polymer-Degrading Nocardia sp. strain BSTN01

Microbiology Resource Announcements, 2022
Species belonging to the genus Nocardia are known to be facultative human pathogens. There are also reports of Nocardia species capable of degrading various forms of rubber. Here, we report the whole-genome shotgun (WGS) sequence of Nocardia sp. strain BSTN01, isolated

New formation and fate of Isoprene SOA markers revealed by field data-constrained modeling

npj Climate and Atmospheric Science, 2023
Particulate 2-methyltetrols (2-MT) and 2-methylglyceric acid (2-MG) are typically used to indicate the abundance of isoprene-derived secondary organic aerosols (SOA). However, their formation and fate are not fully understood.

A walk in the park—Identifying healthy greenspaces using scents

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
As urbanisation accelerates globally, access to nature is increasingly recognised as vital for public health and wellbeing. We captured and analysed plant‐emitted airborne ‘scent signatures’ across Oxford's urban greenspaces to assess their potential health relevance.

Isolation of isoprene degrading bacteria from soils, development of isoA gene probes and identification of the active isoprene‐degrading soil community using DNA‐stable isotope probing

Environmental Microbiology, 2016
Summary Emissions of biogenic volatile organic compounds (bVOCs), are an important element in the global carbon cycle, accounting for a significant proportion of fixed carbon. They contribute directly and indirectly to global warming and climate change and have a major effect on atmospheric chemistry.

Recent advances of non‐invasive sensors for smart wearable respiratory monitoring

VIEW, EarlyView.
Respiration contains rich physiological and pathological information, making it one of the most fundamental and continuous vital signs. Respiration monitoring is a non‐invasive and simple, but incredibly powerful, tool for assessing health, managing disease, and tracking fitness.

Fascinating single‐cell red algae: models for evolution and adaptation

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary The unicellular red algae, Cyanidiophyceae, that diverged early during Archaeplastida (algal and plant) evolution, occupy a variety of extreme habitats that are inhospitable for most other eukaryotes. With the use of modern genomics and genetics methods, Cyanidiophyceae show a remarkable taxonomic diversity, share haplodiplophasic life cycles ...

Impact of emerging compound droughts on forests: A water supply and demand perspective

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
This review examines the physiological and ecological responses of trees to emerging compound droughts from a water demand and supply perspective, as well as the role of acclimation and consequences for ecosystem‐level functions. Abstract The intensification of climate change‐induced drought results in unprecedented tree and forest die‐offs worldwide ...
