Higher CH4 production in permafrost while oxidation prevails in the active layer: Insights from a forest‒wetland ecotone in Northeast China by Xing-Feng Dong, Chao Liu, Miao Li, Xiao-Dong Wu, Zhi-Chao Zheng, Xiang-Wen Wu, Shu-Ying Zang

“…Amongst microbial properties, CH4 production was enhanced by the abundance of mcrA genes and methanogenic diversity rather than by community composition. On the contrary, CH4 oxidation was influenced by pmoA gene abundance, methanotrophic diversity and community composition. …”

Surface Reactions in Natural Aqueous Colloidal Systems by Garrison Sposito

“…The problem of determining the surface species activity coefficients in these stability constants is discussed along with recent activity coefficient models based on mean-field theory. Surface speciation models that incorporate both surface complexation and diffuse ion swarm association are reviewed and illustrated for adsorption phenomena in natural colloidal systems. …”

Microbial Basis for Suppression of Soil-Borne Disease in Crop Rotation by Boxi Wang, Shuichi Sugiyama

“…Twenty preceding crops from different plant families showed significant differences in the disease damage, pathogen density, and bacterial community composition of the host plant. Structural equation modelling revealed that the relative abundance of four key bacterial orders in Chinese cabbage roots can explain 85% and 70% of the total variation in pathogen density and disease damage, respectively. …”

Differential lipid dependence of the function of bacterial sodium channels. by Nazzareno D'Avanzo, Emily C McCusker, Andrew M Powl, Andrew J Miles, Colin G Nichols, B A Wallace

“…NavMs and NavSp showed strong preference for different negatively-charged lipids (phosphatidylinositol and phosphatidylglycerol, respectively), whilst NaChBac exhibited a more modest variation with lipid type. To investigate the molecular bases of these differences we used synchrotron radiation circular dichroism spectroscopy to compare structures in liposomes of different composition, and molecular modeling and electrostatics calculations to rationalize the functional differences seen. …”
