Gadolinium Pollution—A Future Forward Perspective on Human and Environmental Impact
Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, Volume 95, Issue 3, Page 1660-1670, March 2026.ABSTRACT The widespread use of gadolinium‐based contrast agents (GBCAs) in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been instrumental in enhancing diagnostic capabilities. However, the potential environmental and human health impacts of gadolinium pollution have become a growing concern.

Prokaryotic PfaB is a terminal acyltransferase that determines the final PUFA product
Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 3, March 2026.Abstract Omega‐3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are essential for human health due to their numerous beneficial biological properties. These compounds are synthesized in marine bacteria and eukaryotic microalgae by PUFA megasynthases (Pfas), which are evolutionarily related to fatty acid synthases (FAS) and polyketide synthases (PKS). In FAS, PKS,

Bias in culture-independent assessments of microbial biodiversity in the global ocean [PDF]
, 2009 On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequencing, the SAR11 clade of marine bacteria has almost universal distribution, being detected as abundant sequences in all marine provinces. Yet SAR11 sequences are rarely detected in fosmid libraries, suggesting that the
