A rational synthesis of hierarchically porous, N-doped carbon from Mg-based MOFs: understanding the link between nitrogen content and oxygen reduction electrocatalysis

Controlled mixtures of novel Mg-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) were prepared, with H+ or K+ as counterions. A linear relation was found between synthesis pH and K/H ratio in the resultant mixture, establishing the tunability of the synthesis. Upon p ...

Soil microbial community resistance to drought and links to C stabilization in an Australian grassland

Pierre Rémi Mariotte

Drought is predicted to increase in many areas of the world, which can greatly influence soil microbial community structure and C stabilization. Increasing soil carbon (C) stabilization is an important strategy to mitigate climate change effects, but the u ...

Contrasting effects of untreated textile wastewater onto the soil available nitrogen-phosphorus and enzymatic activities in aridisol

Alexandre Buttler, Muhammad Saleem Arif, Muhammad Riaz

Water shortage and soil qualitative degradation are significant environmental problems in arid and semi-arid regions of the world. The increasing demand for water in agriculture and industry has resulted in the emergence of wastewater use as an alternative ...

Photosymbiosis and the expansion of shallow-water corals

Anders Meibom, Jaroslaw Hubert Stolarski

Roughly 240 million years ago (Ma), scleractinian corals rapidly expanded and diversified across shallow marine environments. The main driver behind this evolution is uncertain, but the ecological success of modern reefbuilding corals is attributed to thei ...

Copper-Catalyzed Oxy-Alkynylation of Diazo Compounds with Hypervalent Iodine Reagents

Jérôme Waser, Durga Prasada Rao Hari

Alkynes have found widespread applications in synthetic chemistry, biology, and materials sciences. In recent years, methods based on electrophilic alkynylation with hypervalent iodine reagents have made acetylene synthesis more flexible and efficient, but ...

One-Pot Three-Component Synthesis of Vicinal Diamines via In Situ Aminal Formation and Carboamination

Jérôme Waser, Ugo Jonathan Orcel

A synthesis of vicinal diamines via in situ aminal formation and carboamination of allyl amines is reported. Employing highly electron-poor trifluoromethyl aldimines in their stable hemiaminal form was key to enable both a fast and complete aminal formatio ...

Autotrophic and heterotrophic nutrient fluxes in the dinoflagellate-coral symbiosis – A NanoSIMS perspective

Anders Meibom, Isabelle Domart-Coulon, Thomas Krüger, Maoz Fine, Julia Marie Jeanne Yvonne Bodin

The exchange of metabolites between photosynthetic symbionts and their coral host in shallow-water scleractinians provides the nutritional basis for their successful evolution and the existence of massive coral reefs in oligotrophic tropical waters. Autotr ...

Ultrastructural analysis of adult mouse neocortex comparing aldehyde perfusion with cryo fixation

Carl Petersen, Graham Knott, Natalya Korogod

Analysis of brain ultrastructure using electron microscopy typically relies on chemical fixation. However, this is known to cause significant tissue distortion including a reduction in the extracellular space. Cryo fixation is thought to give a truer repre ...

Defining the nitrogen regulated transcriptome of Mycobacterium smegmatis using continuous culture

Andrej Benjak

Background: Nitrogen is essential for microbial growth and its importance is demonstrated by the complex regulatory systems used to control the transport, assimilation and metabolism of nitrogen. Recent studies are beginning to shed light on how mycobacter ...

Effect of TiO2 Nanoparticles and UV Radiation on Extracellular Enzyme Activity of Intact Heterotrophic Biofilms

Kristin Schirmer, Laura Sigg, Hannah Inka Schug

When introduced into the aquatic environment, TiO2 NP are likely to settle from the water column, which results in increased exposure of benthic communities. Here, we show that the activity of two extracellular enzymes of intact heterotrophic biofilms, bet ...
