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 ...

Relative efficacy and stability of biological and synthetic nitrification inhibitors in a highly nitrifying soil: Evidence of apparent nitrification inhibition by linoleic acid and linolenic acid [PDF]
, 2021 Biological nitrification inhibition is a plant‐mediated rhizosphere process where natural nitrification inhibitors can be produced and released by roots to suppress nitrifier activity in soil.

Heterotrophic nitrification of organic nitrogen is stimulated by agricultural plants
Communications Earth & EnvironmentThe association between soil heterotrophic nitrification and plant nitrogen (N) uptake remains poorly understood. Here, we used 15N isotope tracing and numerical analysis to quantify the rate of ammonification (organic N to ammonium), heterotrophic ...

Reconstructing enzyme evolution by protein engineering
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Natural enzyme evolution can be retraced by protein engineering methods such as directed evolution, rational design, and ancestral sequence reconstruction. These approaches reveal how enzymes emerged from ligand‐binding scaffolds, developed varying substrate preferences, formed oligomeric complexes, adapted to environmental changes, and evolved novel ...

Ammonium uptake by phytoplankton regulates nitrification in the sunlit ocean. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Nitrification, the microbial oxidation of ammonium to nitrate, is a central part of the nitrogen cycle. In the ocean's surface layer, the process alters the distribution of inorganic nitrogen species available to phytoplankton and produces nitrous oxide.

The Legacy of Plant Invasion: Impacts on Soil Nitrification and Management Implications
Plants, 2023 Plant invasions can have long-lasting impacts on soil nitrification, which plays a critical role in nutrient cycling and plant growth. This review examines the legacy effects of plant invasion on soil nitrification, focusing on the underlying mechanisms,

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Obesity raises blood levels of PAI‐1, a protein linked to metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease in people with obesity. In female mice fed a high‐fat diet, partially lowering PAI‐1 led to smaller subcutaneous fat cells and lower liver cholesterol, without changing body weight or insulin sensitivity.

Biochemistry of nitrification in soil. 1. Kinetics of, and the effects of poisons on, soil nitrification as studied by a soil perfusion technique [PDF]
, 1946 [First paragraph] Nitrification is the process whereby nitrogen, in the form of the ammonium cation or in organic combination, is converted into the nitrate anion.

Microorganisms, 2019 Ammonia oxidizing archaea (AOA) and bacteria (AOB) are thought to contribute differently to soil nitrification, yet the extent to which their relative abundances influence the temperature response of nitrification is poorly understood.
