A discovery by UCLA organic chemists may one day put catalytic converter thieves out of business. In new research, they've ...

Key takeawaysPrecious transition metals like platinum and palladium are used as catalysts to speed up chemical reactions that produce carbon-nitrogen ...

Researchers have conducted a unique bioengineering experiment: phytase gene of Pantoea agglomerans (Gram-negative and known to be an opportunistic pathogen) was transplanted to Arabidopsis thaliana ...

Phosphorus is a critical raw material that should be recycled more efficiently. There is also a need for more environmentally friendly production methods for organic phosphorus compounds. A recently ...

OCCUPATIONAL poisonings in agricultural workers caused by organic phosphorus insecticides have become fairly common since the compounds were introduced. These compounds are potent cholinesterase ...

Infinite vastness: Gases are constantly exchanged between the ocean and the atmosphere. The study presented here shows how tiny marine organisms contribute significantly to the release of the ...

The potent greenhouse gas methane constantly escapes from the sea into the atmosphere and contributes significantly to global warming. Methane is mainly produced by microorganisms and mostly in places ...

In aquatic systems, recycling of phosphorus (P) is strongly influenced by microbial metabolic responses. This study was designed to look at the generation of P (as soluble-reactive phosphate (SRP)) ...

Radio-chemical and chemical studies of the uptake of inorganic phosphorus by Daphnia magna have shown that an apparent direct uptake of $2.2 \times 10^-3$ $\mu g ...
