Distinct roles for intra- and extracellular siderophores during Aspergillus fumigatus infection. by Markus Schrettl, Elaine Bignell, Claudia Kragl, Yasmin Sabiha, Omar Loss, Martin Eisendle, Anja Wallner, Herbert N Arst, Ken Haynes, Hubertus Haas

“…Restoration of the conidial hydroxyferricrocin content partially rescues the virulence of the apathogenic siderophore null mutant Delta sidA, demonstrating an important role for the conidial siderophore during initiation of infection. Abrogation of extracellular siderophore biosynthesis following inactivation of the acyl transferase SidF or the nonribosomal peptide synthetase SidD leads to complete dependence upon reductive iron assimilation for growth under iron-limiting conditions, partial sensitivity to oxidative stress, and significantly reduced virulence, despite normal germ tube formation. …”

Study on the mechanical properties of unloaded damage sandstone under dry-wet and freeze-thaw cycling conditions. by Wenrui Wang, Xingzhou Chen, Lili Chen, Sheng Gong, Zhenkun Su

“…This shift coincides with an increase in pore compaction strain as well as plastic strain values; meanwhile, peak strength experiences a sharp decline initially but subsequently moderates to more gradual reductions.; (2) The elastic modulus, cohesion, and friction angle all show a similar trend of attenuation, with the most severe degradation occurring after the first cycle and then gradually diminishing, particularly with the elastic modulus; (3) The uniaxial failure of the unloaded damaged samples is primarily brittle, with spalling and buckling becoming more pronounced with increasing cycles, while triaxial failure exhibits certain plastic characteristics that develop more with further cycling. …”
