Minerals are widely assumed to protect organic matter (OM) from degradation in the environment, promoting the persistence of carbon in soil and sediments. In this Review, we describe the mechanisms and processes operating at the mineral–organic interface as they relate to OM transformation dynamics...
Climate change scenarios predict increases in temperature and organic matter supply from land to water, which affect trophic transfer of nutrients and contaminants in aquatic food webs. How essential nutrients, such as polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), and potentially toxic contaminants, such as methy...
The evolution, appearance, ecology, and metabolism of various classes of microalgae are highly variable, owing to their metabolic composition and phytochemical content. Important components to examine in microalgae include PBPs, carotenoids, phenolics, flavonoids, polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), ...
'Transport of organic anions in the liver. An update on bile acid, fatty acid, monocarboxylate, anionic amino acid, cholephilic organic anion, and anionic drug transport' published in 'Reviews of Physiology, Biochemistry and Pharmacology, Volume 123'
(Ramirez-Estrada et al.2016; Zhang et al.2012). According to the studies on production of the pigments—betalain, shikonins, carotenoids and flavonoids (Georgiev et al.2008; Malik et al.2016; Rizzello et al.2014; Savitha et al.2006), biotic elicitors can be divided to four classes: (...
Thymus mongolicus (family Lamiaceae) is a Thyme subshrub with strong aroma and remarkable environmental adaptability. Limited genomic information limits the use of this plant. Chromosome-level 605.2 Mb genome of T. mongolicus was generated, with 96.28% a
Stephan Wolfram defined four classes that can be used to describe any cellular automaton or other simple computational model based on their observed behaviors. These definitions are qualitative in nature, with some room for intepretation, but are nonetheless considered the most effective classification ...
These results suggested that the aromatic of WSOC molecules was much higher in spring, while the higher molecule sizes presented in winter, the lower aromatic and molecule sizes were present in the summer. The higher molecule sizes of WSOC in winter were also observed in precipitation of Nanjing...
They clearly revealed the polymerization–carbonization process in the Arg-EDA CPD system, including four steps: (i) polymerization of small organic molecules, (ii) formation of a dense core with an extended shell, (iii) collapse of the shell, and (iv) carbonization/aromatization of the core....
Plant cell-wall polysaccharides constitute the most abundant but recalcitrant organic carbon source in nature. Microbes residing in the digestive tract of herbivorous bilaterians are particularly efficient at depolymerizing polysaccharides into fermentab
