Radical-mediated ring contraction in the biosynthesis of 7-deazapurines [PDF]
Pyrrolopyrimidine containing natural products are widely distributed in Nature. The biosynthesis of the 7-deazapurine moiety that is common to all pyrrolopyrimidines entails multiple steps, one of which is a complex radical-mediated ring contraction ...

Influence of Plant Species and De‐Icing Salt on Microbial Communities in Bioretention
Plant species shape bioretention bacterial and fungal communities and their associated functions, which drive system efficiency. These results underscore the importance of plant selection when designing bioretention systems. Moreover, the communities were preserved or recovered within 5 months after the exposure to NaCl levels typical of spring runoff.

Reductive dechlorination of tetrachloroethene by a stepwise catalysis of different organohalide respiring bacteria and reductive dehalogenases [PDF]
The enrichment culture SL2 dechlorinating tetrachloroethene (PCE) to ethene with strong trichloroethene (TCE) accumulation prior to cis-1,2-dichloroethene (cis-DCE) formation was analyzed for the presence of organohalide respiring bacteria and reductive ...

ABSTRACT Micritization of marine carbonate grains is an early diagenetic process involving the alteration of the original carbonate fabric and the formation of cryptocrystalline textures through cycles of dissolution and reprecipitation. Microorganisms play a significant role in this process, actively contributing to the formation of constructive and ...

Heavy Metal Remediation: A Sustainable Approach
With an emphasis on bioremediation as a crucial approach to mitigate the detrimental effects of heavy metals (HMs), this study explores the causes of HM pollution, their impact on the environment and human health, and remediation techniques. In contrast to traditional physical and chemical methods, bioremediation offers a more economical, less toxic ...
