Bioavailability of soil organic carbon and Fe as influenced by forestry practices in a subtropical coastal catchment [PDF]
Potential impacts of plantation forestry practices on soil organic carbon and Fe available to microorganisms were investigated in a subtropical coastal catchment. The impacts of harvesting or replanting were largely limited to the soil top layer (0–10 cm

Cell wall target fragment discovery using a low‐cost, minimal fragment library
LoCoFrag100 is a fragment library made up of 100 different compounds. Similarity between the fragments is minimized and 10 different fragments are mixed into a single cocktail, which is soaked to protein crystals. These crystals are analysed by X‐ray crystallography, revealing the binding modes of the bound fragment ligands.

Total and watersoluble organic matter content in soil under various methods of forestry
Water-base organic compounds are among the most labile fractions of soil organic matter. Their content are considered a sensitive indicator of soil quality and changes quantitatively under the influence of anthropogenic pressure.

Effect of cultivation in different age’s oil palm plantation on selected chemical properties of peat swamp soils [PDF]
Large-scale land conversion of peat for agricultural purposes requires clearance, drainage, fertilizer application, and liming to increase the pH and boost microbial activity.

Total organic carbon content in the waters of the Arabian Gulf
Abstract Total organic carbon (TOC) content determined by organic carbon analyzer in the waters of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Qatar of the Arabian Gulf during 1986 showed values ranging from 0.8 to 3.9 and from 0.5 to 3.6 mg L−1, respectively.

Total carbon analysis may overestimate organic carbon content of fresh waters in the presence of high dissolved inorganic carbon [PDF]
Automated carbon analyzers often are configured to provide estimates of both total organic carbon (TOC) and nonpurgeable organic carbon (NPOC). We show there can be an overestimation of total carbon in the presence of moderate to large quantities of dissolved inorganic carbon.

We reconstituted Synechocystis glycogen synthesis in vitro from purified enzymes and showed that two GlgA isoenzymes produce glycogen with different architectures: GlgA1 yields denser, highly branched glycogen, whereas GlgA2 synthesizes longer, less‐branched chains.

Accumulation effect of soil aggregate organic carbon in mixed forest in open-pit coal mine
Mining activities result in the depletion of soil nutrients and carbon reservoirs. A pressing need exists to examine soil nutrient status, particularly the recovery of organic matter following prolonged revegetation in open pit mines.
