A survey of photogeochemistry
The participation of sunlight in the natural chemistry of the earth is presented as a unique field of study, from historical observations to prospects for future inquiry. A compilation of known reactions shows the extent of light-driven interactions between naturally occurring components of land, air, and water, and provides the backdrop for an outline of the mechanisms of these phenomena. Cata...
متن کاملEffects of Desert Weathering on Meteoritic Hydrogen Isotope Systematics: Insights from Tissint
Introduction: The hydrogen isotopic composition of meteorites and their components can provide insights into the source of water on their parent bodies and secondary processes that may have occurred on these bodies. As such, determining the indigenous D/H ratio of meteorites and their constituent phases is crucial. Nonetheless, terrestrial weathering can affect many of the properties of meteori...
متن کاملAdaptive changes in phosphate uptake by the fungus Neurospora crassa in response to phosphate supply.
The phosphate uptake rate of Neurospora crassa germlings growing exponentially in media containing phosphate at concentrations between 10 mM and 50 micronM was virtually constant. The uptake characteristics of these germlings were studied in detail assuming the simultaneous operation of two uptake systems, one of low affinity and one of high affinity. The Km of the low-affinity system was const...
متن کاملShock-transformation of whitlockite to merrillite and the implications for meteoritic phosphate
Meteorites represent the only samples available for study on Earth of a number of planetary bodies. The minerals within meteorites therefore hold the key to addressing numerous questions about our solar system. Of particular interest is the Ca-phosphate mineral merrillite, the anhydrous end-member of the merrillite-whitlockite solid solution series. For example, the anhydrous nature of merrilli...
متن کاملPhosphate supply as a promoter of tolerance to arsenic in pearl millet
Many soils are contaminated by heavy metals, with arsenic posing serious environmental threat. Enrichment of soil with phosphate is believed to reduce the arsenic toxicity. However, only a few attempts have already been conducted towards understanding the precise role of phosphate in controlling As toxicity. Moreover, there is no adequate information on the effect of phosphate on As-induced...
