Drivers for the adoption of circular water systems at the building level in a high-income context

Water Research X
Circular water systems at the building level offer potential for sustainable water management. Yet, user acceptance and willingness to pay (WTP) challenge their adoption. This study explores factors shaping acceptance and WTP by surveying 496 respondents

Polymers for Fluorescence Imaging of Formaldehyde in Living Systems via the Hantzsch Reaction.

ACS Macro Letters, 2018
Formaldehyde (FA) has been detected via the Hantzsch reaction for many decades. However, the Hantzsch reaction has been rarely used to detect FA in biological systems due to the disadvantages of small-molecule probes (including toxicity and poor water ...

Cell geometry and membrane protein crowding constrain Escherichia coli growth rate, overflow metabolism, respiration, and maintenance energy

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The physical dimensions and shape of bacterial cells define the surface area available to acquire nutrients and the volume available for synthesizing proteins and DNA. Here, we use computational systems biology to decode the importance of cell geometry as a major determinant of prokaryotic phenotype, including growth rate and metabolic efficiency. This

Salmonella lipopolysaccharide‐containing supported lipid bilayers as platforms to study bacteriophage interactions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We present robust protocols for the preparation of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) incorporating either Salmonella smooth LPS or outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). We use a combination of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM‐D) and fluorescence microscopy to both characterize the SLBs of various compositions and to probe their interactions ...

Phosphoinositides and inositol phosphates as molecular glues

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Inositol phosphates (IPs) and phosphoinositides (PIPs) regulate diverse eukaryotic processes. Beyond recruiting signaling proteins or acting as structural cofactors, recent studies suggest they mediate protein–protein interactions as natural molecular glues.

Auswirkungen eines technischen Paradigmenwechsels auf die wasserwirtschaftliche Organisation in strukturschwachen ländlichen Räumen

Raumforschung und Raumordnung, 2015
Structurally weak rural areas in Germany partially are confronted with enormous challenges. It is becoming increasingly difficult to provide these regions with an adequate infrastructure to secure equivalent living conditions. Alternative concepts

Structural insights and therapeutic targets in Acinetobacter baumannii capsule biosynthesis

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Hypervirulent KL49 A. baumannii's capsular polysaccharide contains the nonulosonic acid 8‐epi‐Leg5,7Ac2, synthesized by epimerization via ElaA, ElaB, and ElaC. Crystal structures of ElaA, ElaB, and ElaC reveal their role in CMP‐Leg5,7Ac2 synthesis and regioselective C8 epimerization.

Oxygen isotope ecology of recent planktic foraminifera at the central Walvis Ridge (SE Atlantic) [PDF]

, 2005
Above the Walvis Ridge, in the SE Atlantic Ocean, we collected living plantkic foraminifera from the upper water column using depth stratified plantkon tows. The oxygen isotope composition (
