Hydrogen atoms from water and food are incorporated into biomass during cellular metabolism and biosynthesis, fractionating the isotopes of hydrogen-protium and deuterium-that are recorded in biomolecules. While these fractionations are often relatively constant in plants, large variations in the magnitude of fractionation are observed for many heterotrophic microbes utilizing different central...

In this research iron manganese oxide nanocomposites were prepared by co-precipitation, sol-gel and mechanochemical methods by using iron (III) nitrate, iron (II) sulfate and manganese (II) nitrate as starting materials. These nanocomposites were prepared in the presence of various catalyst beds. The polyvinyl pyrrolidon (PVP) was used as a capping agent to control the agglomeration of the nano...

Mineralization rates of C-labeled substrates were determined in the presence and absence of Na(2)MoO(4), an inhibitor of sulfate reduction, in the profundal sediments of a shallow eutrophic lake. Sulfate reduction was inhibited by Na(2)MoO(4) at all concentrations tested (0.2 to 200 mM), whereas methane production was inhibited at Na(2)MoO(4) concentrations greater than 20 mM. Initial mineraliz...

A green methodology for the development of the synthesis of dihydropyrimidinones via a clean multi-component Biginelli reaction by using cyclohexane-1,4-diyl bis (hydrogen sulfate) (CDBH) as an effective catalyst in water and solvent-free conditions was reported. This sulfonated catalyst is an efficient and environmentally benign homogeneous catalysts which characterized by using different tech...

A sulfate-reducing vibrio was isolated from a methanogenic enrichment with choline as the sole added organic substrate. This organism was identified as a member of the genus Desulfovibrio and was designated Desulfovibrio strain G1. In a defined medium devoid of sulfate, a pure culture of Desulfovibrio strain G1 fermented choline to trimethylamine, acetate, and ethanol. In the presence of sulfat...

A class of squaramide-based tripodal molecules was employed as new ionophores for highly sensitive and selective sulfate-selective sensors. Compared with the reported tripodal ionophore with urea, squaramide groups as superior hydrogen bonding donor were introduced into the tripodal structure to obtain new ionophores leading to better electrode performance. Three derivatives with unsubstituted ...
