Abiotic production of methylmercury by solar radiation.
Methylmercury [MeHg(I) in the aerobic surface water of lakes is thought to be rapidly degraded, but contrary to expectations, we show that MeHg(I) concentrations often increase during sunlight hours or remain relatively constant. We hypothesized that there were water column processes that generated MeHg(I) and that these processes were linked to dissolved organic matter (DOM) and solar radiatio...
متن کاملThe kinetics of ribosomal peptidyl transfer revisited.
The speed of protein synthesis determines the growth rate of bacteria. Current biochemical estimates of the rate of protein elongation are small and incompatible with the rate of protein elongation in the living cell. With a cell-free system for protein synthesis, optimized for speed and accuracy, we have estimated the rate of peptidyl transfer from a peptidyl-tRNA in P site to a cognate aminoa...
متن کاملEvidence for elevated production of methylmercury in salt marshes.
Depth variations of total mercury (Hg) and methylmercury (MeHg) concentrations were obtained in cores from nonvegetated sediments, sediments colonized by Sarcocornia fruticosa, Halimione portulacoides, and Spartina maritima and below-ground biomass in three Portuguese estuaries. Similar analyses were also performed on the above-ground plant tissues. Concentrations in below-ground biomass exceed...
متن کاملSpatial characteristics of net methylmercury production hot spots in peatlands.
Many wetlands are sources of methylmercury (MeHg) to surface waters, yet little information exists about the distribution of MeHg within wetlands. Total mercury (THg) and MeHg in peat pore waters were studied in four peatlands in spring, summer, and fall 2005. Marked spatial variability in the distribution of MeHg, and %MeHg as a proxy for net MeHg production, was observed, with highest values ...
متن کاملfaciliting lexical access for the fluent production of speech
the hypothesis is that recent and frequent exposure to lexical items leads to a more fluent production of speech in terms of rate of speech. to test the hypothesis,a one-way anova experimental design was carried out. 24 sednior students of efl participated in a one-way interview test. data analyses revealed that those who were exposed frequently to the lexical items over a week prior to inter...
