Wintertime Simulations Induce Changes in the Structure, Diversity and Function of Antarctic Sea Ice-Associated Microbial Communities

Microorganisms, 2022
Antarctic sea-ice is exposed to a wide range of environmental conditions during its annual existence; however, there is very little information describing the change in sea-ice-associated microbial communities (SIMCOs) during the changing seasons.

Nano‐ and Micro‐Sized Solid Materials Used as Antiviral Agents

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Due to the rise of viral infections in humans and possible viral outbreaks, the use of nano‐ or micro‐sized materials as antiviral agents is rapidly increasing. This review explores their antiviral properties against RNA and DNA viruses, either as a prevention or a treatment tool, by delving into their mechanisms of action and how to properly assess ...

Sulfur-Element containing metabolic pathways in human health and crosstalk with the microbiome

Biochemistry and Biophysics Reports, 2023
In humans, methionine derived from dietary proteins is necessary for cellular homeostasis and regeneration of sulfur containing pathways, which produce inorganic sulfur species (ISS) along with essential organic sulfur compounds (OSC).

The microbial sulfur cycle at extremely haloalkaline conditions of soda lakes

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2011
Microbial sulfur cycle is among the most active in soda lakes. Oxidative part of the cycle is driven by chemolithoautotrophic haloalkaliphilic sulfur-oxidizing bacteria.

Metal–Organic Frameworks for Gaseous Pollutant Management: From Capture to Neutralization and Reutilization

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This review maps how MOFs can manage hazardous gases by combining adsorption, neutralization, and reutilization, enabling sustainable air‐pollution control. Covering chemical warfare agent simulants, SO2, NOx, NH3, H2S, and volatile organic compounds, it highlights structure‐guided strategies that boost selectivity, water tolerance, and cycling ...

Versatile Medium for the Isolation of Sulfur-Reducing Bacteria from Natural Ecotypes

International Journal of Environment and Climate Change, 2022
Sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) are a diverse group of microorganisms that are commonly isolated from anoxygenic environments (lake depths, soil, or swamps) and are also found in the intestines of humans and animals. They are well known for outcompeting methanogens for common substrates thereby helping in the decrease of methane emissions and also ...

Single‐ and Dual‐Atom Configurations in Atomically Dispersed Catalysts for Lithium–Sulfur Batteries

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Single‐atom and dual‐atom‐based atomically dispersed catalysts (ADCs) effectively address the shuttle effect and sluggish redox kinetics in Li–S batteries. With nearly 100% atomic utilization and tunable coordination environments, ADCs enhance LiPSs adsorption, lower conversion barriers, and accelerate sulfur redox reactions.

Diversity of corrosive aggressive bacteria in soils of different biotopes

Біологічні студії, 2011
Dissemination of corrosive-aggressive bacteria in soils from different biotopes under man-caused load was investigated. In the man-caused biotopes there were 2–3 degree more of the sulfate-reducing bacteria, 1–2 degreeless nitrogen-fixing bacteria, and 2–
