The growth of Microcystis aeruginosa and Chlorella pyrenoidosa in three dissolved organic phosphorus sources (glucose-1phosphate, adenosine triphosphate, cyclic-adenosine monophosphate) were studied in cultures separated by a dialysis membrane. Results showed that M. aeruginosa and C. pyrenoidosa could utilize those three forms of organic phosphorus, but their growth rates and cell abundances w...

White lupin (Lupinus albus L.) is highly adapted to phosphorus-diminished soils. P-deficient white lupin plants modify their root architecture and physiology to acquire sparingly available soil phosphorus. We employed gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) for metabolic profiling of P-deficient white lupins, to investigate biochemical pathways involved in the P-acquiring strategy. After 1...

Blue light-emitting phosphorus and silicon-bridged stilbenes have been synthesized and characterized. The organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) fabricated with these compounds demonstrate that this new type of phospholes is a promising material for deep blue fluorescence emitters.

Hypoxia has occurred intermittently over the Holocene in the Baltic Sea, but the recent expansion from less than 10 000 km(2) before 1950 to >60 000 km(2) since 2000 is mainly caused by enhanced nutrient inputs from land and atmosphere. With worsening hypoxia, the role of sediments changes from nitrogen removal to nitrogen release as ammonium. At present, denitrification in the water column and...

We have synthesized new D-A-D type phosphorus(V) porphyrin derivatives and functionalized with axial carbazolylvinylnaphthalimide units. The absorption bands of the obtained phosphorus(V) porphyrins were in the range 250-640 nm with high molar absorption coefficients, meaning strong light-harvesting abilities. Notably, it is found that the devices based on phosphorus(V) porphyrins with a config...

this study was carried out to determine effects of phosphorus residual applied to wheat on vetch (vicia panonioca) growth, yields and some  soil  physical, chemical  properties in soil. the experiment was conducted with randomized completely block design in a field with three replications including four levels of p residual (applied for wheat p0, p15, p30, and p45 kg p2o5 in hectare) from tripl...

Hurricanes pose a great risk to forestry, and lead to high financial losses due to destroyed wood. For example, the hurricane ‘‘Gudrun’’ devastated a large part of the forests of southern Sweden in January 2005. Windthrown logs are removed from forest, temporarily stored on log yards, and frequently sprinkled with water to avoid decay. However, the subsequent runoff may cause environmental poll...

(31)P Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) was assessed to investigate the phosphorus-containing compounds present in the tissues of the scleractinian coral Stylophora pistillata as well as of cultured zooxanthellae (CZ). Results showed that phosphorus-containing compounds observed in CZ were mainly phosphate and phosphate esters. Phosphate accounted for 19 ± 2% of the total phosphorus compounds ob...

This paper presents data on the distribution of acid-soluble phosphorus compounds in the blood cells of a few apparently normal individuals of each of forty-six species: twenty-two mammalian, twelve avian, six reptilian, four amphibian, and two fish. Since the studies were limited by availability of material, each order is represented by only a few species, and in many instances only one blood ...
