Article Synopsis
- Biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) is crucial for global nitrogen contributions, with symbiotic BNF from plants accounting for about 56% and free-living nitrogen fixers (FLNF) contributing 22-45%.
- This study investigated the diversity and functionality of FLNFs in the Indian Sundarbans, employing both cultivation-dependent and independent methods to analyze 235 bacterial isolates from mangrove environments.
- The results indicate a predominance of Gammaproteobacteria and Firmicutes, suggesting that these FLNFs are linked to various processes like iron oxidation and nutrient solubilization, highlighting their importance in overcoming environmental stresses in estuarine habitats.
Article Synopsis
- Most global mangrove restoration efforts focus on mono-species plantations, often lacking ecological principles, which leads to a low success rate in these initiatives.
- Researchers tested an innovative restoration framework for degraded mangrove ecosystems in the Indian Sundarbans, incorporating site-specific strategies and comparing them to conventional methods.
- This study used advanced statistical analyses to evaluate the success of restoration efforts, demonstrating that a diverse ecological approach has a higher potential for restoring functions and sustainability compared to single-species practices.
Hypobicarbonatemia with an elevated anion gap on a metabolic panel is frequently the initial marker of a life-threatening condition such as diabetic ketoacidosis in a patient with epigastric pain. The two commonly used means of measuring bicarbonate levels are direct measurement from a metabolic panel and calculated measurement from arterial blood gas. In this case report, we would like to highlight a potentially serious deficiency in one of these two means and how it may lead to a dangerous misdiagnosis and subsequent mismanagement.

Using radial injection of gas jet in the ion source, RIBs of 11C1+, 11CO21+, and 11CO1+ have been produced online with beam intensity up to about 9 × 103 particles per second for a 1 µA primary proton beam bombarding a nitrogen gas target.

- * These compounds are produced through specific branches of the phenylpropanoid biosynthetic pathway, particularly in response to environmental stressors like high salinity, which affects species like mangroves known for their adaptability to extreme conditions.
- * Recent research identified a core bibenzyl scaffold in 28 mangrove and related species from the Indian Sundarbans, suggesting a potential role in detoxifying reactive oxygen species and aiding in the plants’ metabolic processes under salinity stress.
