Oxygen Sensation: Into Thick Air
نویسنده
چکیده
Two recent studies show that a neural globin tunes oxygen responses in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. Analysis of wild C. elegans strains suggests that the commonly used Bristol strain may have adapted to life in the laboratory.

Spatial physiological heterogeneity in Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm is determined by oxygen availability.
The role of oxygen availability in determining the local physiological activity of Pseudomonas aeruginosa growing in biofilms was investigated. Biofilms grown in an ambient-air environment expressed approximately 1/15th the alkaline phosphatase specific activity of planktonic bacteria subjected to the same phosphate limitation treatment. Biofilms grown in a gaseous environment of pure oxygen ex...
متن کاملA planar solid-state potentiometric CO2 sensor in thick-film technology for breath analysis
In this work, a planar solid-state potentiometric CO2 sensor for medical applications of the type CO2, O2, Au, Li2CO3-BaCO3 | Nasicon | Na2Ti6O13-TiO2, Au, O2, CO2 was developed in thick-film technology. Due to an integrated screen-printed platinum heater on the rear side, the sensor can be applied without changing its working temperature of 525°C in the main flow of the respiratory air of an i...
متن کاملFabrication of SrCoo . SFeO , Oxygen Separation Membranes on Porous Supports
SrCoO.~FeO, (SCF) is an attractive material for oxygen separation membranes and for use in catalytic membrane reactors. While tubes of this material have been prepared by extrusion, further improvements in oxygen transport performance may be gained by preparing thinner membranes on porous supports. In this paper, we will discuss the deposition of thick films by spray deposition and centrifugal ...
متن کاملApplication of LIF to investigate gas transfer near the air-water interface in a grid-stirred tank
The interaction between oxygen absorption into liquids and bottom shear-induced turbulence was investigated in a grid-stirred tank using a laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) technique. The LIF technique enabled visualization as well as quantification of planar concentration fields of the dissolved oxygen (DO) near the airwater interface. Qualitative observation of the images provided more insight...
متن کاملAssessment and Interpretation of Arterial Oxygen Saturation in Children with Cystic Fibrosis
In CF, salt transport abnormalities at the airway surface leads to reduced volumes of airway surface liquid, thick mucous which traps bacteria, and recurrent respiratory infections. The resultant infection-inflammation cycle causes lung damage, and the subsequent lung function deterioration ultimately results in premature death. This process may be exacerbated by periods of low oxygen levels (h...
