Some Insights into How Nitrogenases Work
Nitrogenase, the biological catalyst for N2 fixation, occurs in widely diverse Eubacteria and Archaea, but not in Eukaryotes. It exists in three genetically distinct forms of the conventional nitrogenase, the well-known Mo-based system (Mo-nitrogenase) and two “alternative” systems, Vnitrogenase and Fe-nitrogenase. A fourth, completely unrelated Mo-based system also exists. All three convention...
متن کاملHow do terrestrial Antarctic organisms survive in their harsh environment?
Anhydrobiosis, or extreme desiccation tolerance, is one of the strategies that allows terrestrial Antarctic organisms to survive in a harsh environment. A new study in BMC Genomics analyses gene expression in an Antarctic nematode during desiccation, and sheds new light on this phenomenon.
متن کاملDetection probabilities for sessile organisms
Estimation of population sizes and species ranges is central to population and conservation biology. It is widely appreciated that imperfect detection of mobile animals must be accounted for when estimating population size from presence–absence data. Sessile organisms also are imperfectly detected, but correction for detection probability in estimating their population sizes is rare. We illustr...
متن کاملLotka-Volterra competition models for sessile organisms.
Markov models are widely used to describe the dynamics of communities of sessile organisms, because they are easily fitted to field data and provide a rich set of analytical tools. In typical ecological applications, at any point in time, each point in space is in one of a finite set of states (e.g., species, empty space). The models aim to describe the probabilities of transitions between stat...
متن کاملWhy many firms run into crises, and why some survive
Many firms run into crises that threaten their existence. These crises result partly from properties of the firms themselves and partly from properties of the firms' environments. The crises arise and grow stronger partly because top managers hold incorrect beliefs. To make crises rarer, top managers should listen to dissenters and to forthright subordinates, convert happenstance events into le...
