Magic Angle Spinning Solid-State 13C Photochemically Induced Dynamic Nuclear Polarization by a Synthetic Donor-Chromophore-Acceptor System at 9.4 T

David Lyndon Emsley, Federico De Biasi, Máté Visegrádi, Michael Allan Hope

Solid-state photochemically induced dynamic nuclear polarization (photo-CIDNP) is a nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy technique in which nuclear spin hyperpolarization is generated upon optical irradiation of an appropriate donor-acceptor system. Unt ...

Seasonal phytoplankton and geochemical shifts in the subsurface chlorophyll maximum layer of a dimictic ferruginous lake

Hannah Elisa Chmiel

Subsurface chlorophyll maxima layers (SCML) are ubiquitous features of stratified aquatic systems. Availability of the micronutrient iron is known to influence marine SCML, but iron has not been explored in detail as a factor in the development of freshwat ...

Accounting for foliar gradients in Vc(max) and J(max) improves estimates of net CO2 exchange of forests

Christoph Bachofen

Vertical gradients in the canopy represent a major challenge for scaling from foliar photosynthesis to ecosystem-level CO2 fluxes. We tested whether accounting for independent gradients of carboxylation capacity (Vc(max)) and photosynthetic electron transp ...

Warming may extend tree growing seasons and compensate for reduced carbon uptake during dry periods

Charlotte Grossiord, Christoph Bachofen, Yann Vitasse, Eugénie Isabelle Mas, Margaux Clara Lou Didion-Gency

Warming and drought alter plant phenology, photosynthesis and growth with important consequences for the global carbon cycle and the earth’s climate. Yet, few studies have attempted to tease apart their effects on tree phenology, particularly leaf senes ...

Diel quenching of Southern Ocean phytoplankton fluorescence is related to iron limitation

Nina Schuback

Evaluation of photosynthetic competency in time and space is critical for better estimates and models of oceanic primary productivity. This is especially true for areas where the lack of iron (Fe) limits phytoplankton productivity, such as the Southern Oce ...

Effects of non-uniform vertical constituent profiles on remote sensing reflectance of oligo- to mesotrophic lakes

Alfred Johny Wüest, Damien Bouffard, Vincent Maurice Nouchi

We investigate the impact on remote sensing reflectance by the vertical non-uniformities of water constituents. Reflectance simulated for 210 pairs of in situ measured chlorophyll-a and turbidity profiles (z = 0–20 m) from Lake Geneva are compared to simul ...

Impact of molecular flexibility on the site energy shift of chlorophylls in Photosystem II

Daniele Narzi, Leonardo Guidoni, Marco Manzoli

Light harvesting from the Sun by antenna complexes surrounding the reaction center of Photosystem II represents the first step of the natural oxygenic photosynthesis performed by plants, algae and cyanobacteria. The excitation energy derived from the sunli ...

Ultrafast dynamics of the photo-excited hemes b and c(n) in the cytochrome b(6)f complex

Adrien Alexis Paul Chauvet, Rachna Agarwal

The dynamics of hemes b and c(n) within the cytochrome b(6)f complex are investigated by means of ultrafast broad-band transient absorption spectroscopy. On the one hand, the data reveal that, subsequent to visible light excitation, part of the b hemes und ...

Non-invasive continuous monitoring of pro-oxidant effects of engineered nanoparticles on aquatic microorganisms

Olivier Martin, Paul Bowen, Christian Santschi, Volodymyr Koman, Nadia Rachel Von Moos

Engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) are key drivers for the development of highly sophisticated new technologies. As all new attainments, the rapidly increasing used of ENMs raise concerns about their safety for the environment and humans. There is growing evi ...

Influence of the Adsorption of Phycocyanin on the Performance in DSS Cells: and Electrochemical and QCM Evaluation

Michael Graetzel, Jean-David Décoppet, Thomas Moehl

The influence of some coadsorbents and different pH values on the efficiency of DSS cells assembled with phycocyanin was evaluated using quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) and electrochemical techniques as impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and cyclic voltammetry ...
