Zinc Isotope Ratios as Indicators of Diet and Trophic Level in Arctic Marine Mammals.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2016
Carbon and nitrogen stable isotope ratios of bone collagen are an established method for dietary reconstruction, but this method is limited by the protein preservation.

Nitrogen Isotopes in Deep Time [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
Nitrogen is an essential nutrient for life, and its sources and cycling have varied over earth history. Stable isotope ratios of nitrogen compounds (expressed as δ15N, in ‰) are preserved in the sedimentary record and track these changes, providing important insights into associated biogeochemical feedbacks.

Ontogenetic δ15N Trends and Multidecadal Variability in Shells of the Bivalve Mollusk, Arctica islandica

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Bulk stable nitrogen isotope values of the carbonate-bound organic matrix in bivalve shells (δ15NCBOM) are increasingly used to assess past food web dynamics, track anthropogenic nitrogen pollution and reconstruct hydrographic changes.

Nitrogen Isotopes in the Global Ocean [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Nitrogen is an essential nutrient for life. Its low abundance throughout much of the sunlit surface ocean limits the growth of primary producers that form the base of ocean ecosystems.

Use of three isotopes to calibrate human bone radiocarbon determinations from Kainapirina (SAC), Watom Island, Papua New Guinea

open access: yes, 2005
In archaeological dating, the greatest confidence is usually placed upon radiocarbon results of material that can be directly related to a defined archaeological event.

Cell‐cycle‐specific lesion evolution rather than inhibition of double‐strand‐break repair underpins cisplatin radiosensitization

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
We analyze cisplatin–DNA adducts (CDAs) and double‐strand breaks (DSBs) in a cell‐cycle‐dependent manner. We find that CDAs form similarly across all cell cycle phases. DSBs arise only in S‐phase. CDAs might not directly impair DSB repair, but S‐phase DSB lesions evolve in the presence of CDAs and disrupt repair in G2, also causing radiosensitization ...

Towards a global interpretation of dual nitrate isotopes in surface waters

open access: yesJournal of Hydrology X, 2019
Modern anthropogenic activities have significantly increased nitrate (NO3−) concentrations in surface waters. Stable isotopes (δ15N and δ18O) in NO3− offer a tool to deconvolute some of the human-made changes in the nitrogen cycle.

Elementary Isotopic Analysis: Determination of Nitrogen [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 1947
We have recently described an isotopic method for the determination of oxygen1 and carbon2 in organic compounds by using heavy oxygen (O18) and carbon (C13) respectively in conjunction with a mass spectrometer. Using the same method, higher precision is possible in the determination of nitrogen and hydrogen, since N15 and H2 (deuterium) are available ...

Sudden anaerobization in Amphibacillus xylanus increases intracellular labile ferrous iron and inhibits cell growth

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Abruptly changing from aerobic to anaerobic conditions (sudden anaerobization) induced growth inhibition and a significant increase in intracellular labile ferrous iron in the aerotolerant anaerobe Amphibacillus xylanus. We found that free flavins mediate efficient electron transfer from NADH to ferric iron under anaerobic conditions, suggesting that ...

Nitrogen Isotope Discrepancy Between Primary Producers and Sediments in an Anoxic and Alkaline Lake

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2021
Nitrogen isotope compositions (δ15N) in sedimentary rocks are extensively used to investigate the biogeochemical nitrogen cycle through geological times.
