Active Microbial Sulfur Disproportionation in the Mesoproterozoic [PDF]
The environmental expression of sulfur compound disproportionation has been placed between 640 and 1050 million years ago (Ma) and linked to increases in atmospheric oxygen. These arguments have their basis in temporal changes in the magnitude of 34 S/ 32 S fractionations between sulfate and ...

Microbial Activity ̶ Indicators & Drivers
Biota des Kohlenstoffkreislaufs spielen bei der Speicherung und Verteilung des Kohlen-stoffs im Bodennahrungsnetz eine herausragende Rolle. Wobei der Abbau organischer Bodensubstanz stark von deren Verfügbarkeit für Mikroorganismen und Enzyme abhängt.

Immunosuppressive activity of a microbial product
Microbial products have amazing diversity and complexity in their chemical structures as well as in their biological activities. The successful discovery and development of FK506 (Tacrolimus) adds a new example showing that microbial products are agents with potential therapeutic benefits.

Influence of interfaces on microbial activity
Bacterial adhesion in natural and artificial systems has been critically reviewed to investigate the influences exerted by the presence of interfaces. Numerous investigations have demonstrated that, in the presence of a solid phase, the activity of bacterial cultures is changed. Reviewing relevant literature, two problems were encountered. One is of an
