The therapeutic opportunities and pitfalls of using iron ion chelators to treat neurodegenerative diseases

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Although too much iron in the brain promotes neurodegeneration, iron ion chelators have had mixed effects in clinical trials. This review explains why; some chelators do not render the iron redox‐inactive (e.g., L1) whereas others do (e.g., desferrioxamine).

A yeast model of 5‐oxoproline accumulation reveals a general toleration to 5‐oxoproline

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Using a yeast model, we show that even high accumulation of 5‐oxoproline causes only mild cellular stress and does not trigger oxidative stress. Instead, cells adapt by activating efflux pumps and diverse protective pathways, suggesting that previously proposed harmful effects of 5‐oxoproline may arise from indirect metabolic imbalances rather than the

YeeE-like bacterial SoxT proteins mediate sulfur import for oxidation and signal transduction

open access: yesCommunications Biology
Many sulfur-oxidizing prokaryotes oxidize sulfur compounds through a combination of initial extracytoplasmic and downstream cytoplasmic reactions. Facultative sulfur oxidizers adjust transcription to sulfur availability.

Phenotype-driven assessment of the ancestral trajectory of sulfur biooxidation in the thermoacidophilic archaea Sulfolobaceae

open access: yesmBio
Certain members of the family Sulfolobaceae represent the only archaea known to oxidize elemental sulfur, and their evolutionary history provides a framework to understand the development of chemolithotrophic growth by sulfur oxidation. Here, we evaluate

Assessment of the stoichiometry and efficiency of CO2 fixation coupled to reduced sulfur oxidation

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2015
Chemolithoautotrophic sulfur oxidizing bacteria (SOB) couple the oxidation of reduced sulfur compounds to the production of biomass. Their role in the cycling of carbon, sulfur, oxygen and nitrogen is, however, difficult to quantify due to the complexity

The oxidation of sulfur by microorganisms [PDF]

open access: yesExperimental Biology and Medicine, 1920
Two groups of phenomena are to be considered in the study of the sulfur cycle: (1) the reduction phenomena and (2) the oxidation phenomena. The first result in the production of hydrogen sulfide and the second in the oxidation of H2S to S and of the latter to H2SO4. Both groups of phenomena result from activities of microorganisms.

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 ...

Alkaline Solution

open access: yesInternational Journal of Electrochemical Science, 2015
The electro-oxidation processes of sulfide at Ti/RuO2 anode in alkaline solution are investigated. The experiment results indicated that the electro-oxidation process of sulfide is irreversible, and the control step is mass diffusion.

Effects of organic sulfur on oxidation spontaneous combustion characteristics of coking coal

open access: yesEnergy Exploration & Exploitation, 2022
Research on the spontaneous combustion of coal caused by sulfur has always been focused on pyrite in coal but has rarely considered the influence of organic sulfur.
