Nitrous oxide emissions from ephemeral wetland soils are correlated with microbial community composition

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2011
Nitrous oxide (N2O) is a greenhouse gas with a global warming potential far exceeding that of CO2. Soil N2O emissions are a product of two microbially mediated processes: nitrification and denitrification.

Ammonium uptake by phytoplankton regulates nitrification in the sunlit ocean. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS 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.

Long Term Influence of Fertility and Rotation on Soil Nitrification Potential and Nitrifier Communities

open access: yesFrontiers in Soil Science, 2022
The agricultural imprints on soil microbial processes manifest at various timescales, leaving many temporal patterns to present slowly. Unfortunately, the lack of long-term continuous agricultural field sites in North America has left gaps in our ...

Urethanes and Soil Nitrification [PDF]

open access: yesApplied Microbiology, 1953
Urethanes have marked physiological activity in plants and animals. Lefevre (1939) found that phenyl urethane affects wheat germination, and subsequently Templeman and Sexton (1946) showed that a variety of urethanes suppress the germination of wheat and oats without affecting charlock.

An unexpected alternative viologen electron mediator site in tungsten‐containing formate dehydrogenase

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
An unexpected alternative interaction site for ethyl viologen was identified in formate dehydrogenase 1 from Methylorubrum extorquens. Combined mutagenesis, kinetic analysis, and docking revealed that aromatic residues near an iron–sulfur cluster enable flavin mononucleotide‐independent electron transfer, offering a framework for engineering improved ...

Pilot-scale partial nitrification and anaerobic ammonium oxidation system for nitrogen removal from municipal wastewater

open access: yesCommunications Engineering
Partial nitrification has the advantages of saving energy and reducing the need for carbon sources in municipal wastewater treatment. However, for municipal wastewater with low ammonia, start-up and maintenance of partial nitrification is a worldwide ...

Electron transfer between complexes III and IV in S. cerevisiae mitochondrial membranes

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation in S. cerevisiae mitoplasts is limited by complex IV catalytic capacity, rather than two‐dimensional cytochrome c diffusion. At physiological cytochrome c : supercomplex ratios at salinity equivalent to that of 20 mm monovalent salt, activity is maximized, indicating that this low ionic strength accurately mimics

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

open access: yesFEBS 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 ...

New insights into how increases in fertility improve the growth of rice at the seedling stage in red soil regions of subtropical China.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
The differences in rhizosphere nitrification activities between high- and low- fertility soils appear to be related to differences in dissolved oxygen concentrations in the soil, implying a relationship to differences in the radial oxygen loss (ROL) of ...

PARK(ing) time–How park deficiency affects the biological clock in a Drosophila model of Parkinson's disease

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Drosophila park mutants serve as a model for Parkinson's disease. We used this strain to investigate the connection between oxidative stress and the circadian clock mechanism. We showed that increased oxidative stress affects the physiology of pacemaker cells, disrupting their daily structural plasticity. Lack of rhythmic signaling from pacemaker cells
