Soil Carbon Characteristics of a Fluvisol Affected by Aggregates from Two Tillage and Crop Regimes by Emmanuel Onweremadu, Frank Akamigbo, Chigozie Asiabaka

“…Aggregate size distribution was significantly (P < 0.05) influenced by tillage and crop type at 0 – 10 cm depth and soil carbon varied significantly (P < 0.05) with aggregate–size forms, tillage technique and crop species. Prediction of carbon behaviour in floodplain soils should take into consideration variability in ped forms, tillage method and crop types. …”

A cyanobacteria-derived intermolecular salt bridge stabilizes photosynthetic NDH-1 and prevents oxidative stress by Mei Zheng, Yuanyuan Jiang, Zhaoxing Ran, Shengjun Liang, Tingting Xiao, Xiafei Li, Weimin Ma

“…Its disruption destabilizes photosynthetic NDH-1 and impairs PSI CET, resulting in the production of more reactive oxygen species under high light conditions. The salt bridge and transmembrane helix 16, both situated at the C-terminus of NdhF1, collaboratively secure the linkage between NdhD1 and NdhB, akin to a cramping mechanism. …”

Genotoxic impact of BPA and analogs (BPE, BPZ, and BADGE) on Mytilus galloprovincialis: insights from biomarker analysis by Beyza Nalbantlar, Özlem Çakal Arslan

“…The genotoxic effects of analogs such as bisphenol E (BPE), bisphenol Z (BPZ), and bisphenol A diglycidyl ether (BADGE)—containing almost the entire alphabet—were investigated on the Mytilus galloprovincialis species exposed to increasing concentrations. When comparing their effects on gills, it was observed that BADGE and BPA had similar impacts, with the micronucleus (MN) frequency determined as BPA (32‰) > BADGE (26.5‰) > BPE = BPZ (24.6‰), respectively. …”
