Cellular pathways of carbon and nitrogen assimilation in kleptoplastic foraminiferal species

Anders Meibom, Charlotte Madeleine Nicole Lekieffre, Emmanuelle Geslin

Kleptoplasty is the process by which an organism sequesters algal chloroplasts while discarding or digesting other algal components. This ability is encountered in different organisms, including benthic foraminifera. Among kleptoplastic foraminiferal speci ...

The cold denaturation of IscU highlights structure–function dualism in marginally stable proteins

Paolo De Los Rios

Proteins undergo both cold and heat denaturation, but often cold denaturation cannot be detected because it occurs at temperatures below water freezing. Proteins undergoing detectable cold as well as heat denaturation yield a reliable curve of protein stab ...

Surviving anoxia in marine sediments: The metabolic response of ubiquitous benthic foraminifera (Ammonia tepida)

Anders Meibom, Stéphane Laurent Escrig, Charlotte Madeleine Nicole Lekieffre, Emmanuelle Geslin

High input of organic carbon and/or slowly renewing bottom waters frequently create periods with low dissolved oxygen concentrations on continental shelves and in coastal areas; such events can have strong impacts on benthic ecosystems. Among the meiofauna ...

Development of an albumin-binding ligand for prolonging the plasma half-life of peptide therapeutics

Alessandro Zorzi

Peptides represent a promising format for the development of therapeutics since they combine the advantages of proteins and small molecules. Several techniques based on rational design or in vitro evolution can be used to develop peptides as therapeutics. ...

Sexual dimorphism in hepatic lipids is associated with the evolution of metabolic status in mice

Rolf Gruetter, Hongxia Lei, Jonathan Paz Montoya, Marc Moniatte, Ana Francisca Leal Silva Soares

Ectopic lipid accumulation in the liver is implicated in metabolic disease in an age- and sex-dependent manner. The role of hepatic lipids has been well established within the scope of metabolic insults in mice, but has been insufficiently characterized un ...

Nitrogen-enriched compost application combined with plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) improves seed quality and nutrient use efficiency of sunflower

Alexandre Buttler, Luca Bragazza, Muhammad Saleem Arif, Muhammad Riaz

Ecological benefits associated with plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) inoculants offer a promising integrated nutrient management option to counteract plant nitrogen (N) deficiency. We performed field experiments to evaluate the effect of integra ...

Innovative and stable TiO2 supported catalytic surfaces removing aldehydes under UV-light irradiation

Juan Kiwi, Sami Rtimi

The present study reports the photocatalytic degradation of aldehydes using TiO2 impregnated polyester (PES) and glass fiber (GFT)-TiO2 addressing the photocatalytic degradation aldehydes (air-solid interface). The PES-TiO2 optical absorption was determine ...

Regulation of Endoplasmic Reticulum Architecture by Protein S-Palmitoylation

Patrick Alain Sandoz

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is the largest organelle in mammalian cells. More than 50 years ago, its morphology was already described as consisting of two major compartments: the rough ER and the smooth ER, which both fulfil precise and distinct functio ...

Characterization of carbon dioxide concentrating chemolithotrophic bacterium Serratia sp ISTD04 for production of biodiesel

Edgard Gnansounou, Manish Kumar

Proteomics and metabolomics analysis has become a powerful tool for characterization of microbial ability for fixation of Carbon dioxide. Bacterial community of palaeoproterozoic metasediments was enriched in the shake flask culture in the presence of NaHC ...

Buckling patterns in biaxially pre-stretched bilayer shells: wrinkles, creases, folds and fracture-like ridges

Pedro Miguel Nunes Pereira de Almeida Reis

We introduce a new experimental system to study the effects of pre-stretch on the buckling patterns that emerge from the biaxial compression of elastomeric bilayer shells. Upon fabrication of the samples, releasing the pre-stretch in the substrate through ...
