Influence of Climate on Stable Nitrogen Isotopic Values of Contemporary Greek Samples: Implications for Isotopic Studies of Human Remains from Neolithic to Late Bronze Age Greece

open access: yesGeosciences, 2019
In this paper, we study δ15N enrichment as an indicator not only of marine protein diet, but also of climate change. The slope of the variation of δ15N with precipitation was calculated equal to 0.38/100 mm of precipitation for Greek plants, 0 ...

Microbial carbon recycling – an underestimated process controlling soil carbon dynamics – Part 1: A long-term laboratory incubation experiment [PDF]

open access: yesBiogeosciences, 2015
Independent of its chemical structure carbon (C) persists in soil for several decades, controlled by stabilization and recycling. To disentangle the importance of the two factors on the turnover dynamics of soil sugars, an important compound of soil ...

An evaluation of migration fidelity of Ruby-throated Hummingbirds inferred from stable isotope methods [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ
Knowledge of spatial connectivity between breeding and non-breeding locations of migratory birds and their breeding site fidelity are important for avian conservation.

Microbial carbon recycling: an underestimated process controlling soil carbon dynamics – Part 2: A C3-C4 vegetation change field labelling experiment [PDF]

open access: yesBiogeosciences, 2015
The mean residence times (MRT) of different compound classes of soil organic matter (SOM) do not match their inherent recalcitrance to decomposition. One reason for this is the stabilization within the soil matrix, but recycling, i.e.

Isotopic Traceability (13C and 18O) of Greek Olive Oil

open access: yesMolecules, 2020
In recent years, isotopic analysis has been proven a valuable tool for the determination of the origin of various materials. In this article, we studied the 18O and 13C isotopic values of 210 olive oil samples that were originated from different regions ...

Synthesis of Isotope Labeled Protocatechuic Acid-(13COOH)

open access: yesJournal of Isotopes, 2020
A novel synthesis method of protocatechuic acid-(13COOH) was designed. 3,4-dimethoxy bromobenzene as raw material, Grignard reagent was prepared by Grignard reaction, then passed through the 13C labeled 13CO2 gas, the intermediate 3,4-dimethoxy benzoic ...

Manganese–pyridone-catalyzed site-selective hydrogen isotope exchange of 2-arylpyridines using D2O [PDF]

open access: yesRSC Advances
We report a manganese-catalyzed protocol for the selective ortho-deuteration of 2-arylpyridines using D2O as a readily available deuterium source. Enabled by Mn(CO)5Br and 2-pyridone, the reaction delivers deuterated products in good isolated yields with

Nitrogen-Induced Changes in Soil Environmental Factors Are More Important Than Nitrification and Denitrification Gene Abundance in Regulating N2O Emissions in Subtropical Forest Soils

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Subtropical regions are currently experiencing a dramatic increase in nitrogen (N) deposition; however, the contributions of nitrification and denitrification processes to soil N2O emissions and the underlying mechanisms under increasing N deposition ...

Smaller is better: nanobodies meet NMR

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Nanobodies are single‐domain antigen‐binding fragments derived from camelid heavy chain antibodies. Their small size, high stability, and exceptional specificity make nanobodies uniquely useful probes for NMR studies of protein dynamics, transient conformational states, and protein–protein interactions.

Content, composition, and transfer of polyunsaturated fatty acids in an Arctic lake food web

open access: yesEcosphere, 2022
Freshwater fish production depends on the production and use of polyunsaturated fatty acids (n‐3 and n‐6 PUFA) from lower trophic levels. Here, we aimed to identify the main trophic pathways that support PUFA content in different fish species (mean 39.7 ...
