A Spectroscopic Description of Asymmetric Isotopologues of CO.

A polyad-conserving algebraic model applied to vibrational excitations of asymmetric isotopologues of CO is presented. First, the problem of vibrational excitations is studied by taking into account only the minimum subspace of states to characterize the Fermi interaction. This analysis allows an estimation of the force constants as well as the feasibility of describing the system in a local mode scheme, in terms of (2) operators associated with Morse ladder operators for the stretches.

Using Flexible Gold-Titanium Reaction Cells to Simulate Pressure-Dependent Microbial Activity in the Context of Subsurface Biomining.

Laboratory studies investigating subsurface microbial processes, such as metal leaching in deep ore deposits (biomining), share common and challenging obstacles, including the special environmental conditions that need to be replicated, e.g., high pressure and in some cases acidic solutions.

The taphonomic fate of isorenieratene in Lower Jurassic shales-controlled by iron?

Fossil derivatives of isorenieratene, an accessory pigment in brown-colored green sulfur bacteria, are often used as tracers for photic zone anoxia through Earth's history, but their diagenetic behavior is still incompletely understood. Here, we assess the preservation of isorenieratene derivatives in organic-rich shales (1.5-8.

Viability and adaptation potential of indigenous microorganisms from natural gas field fluids in high pressure incubations with supercritical CO2.

Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is currently under debate as large-scale solution to globally reduce emissions of the greenhouse gas CO2. Depleted gas or oil reservoirs and saline aquifers are considered as suitable reservoirs providing sufficient storage capacity. We investigated the influence of high CO2 concentrations on the indigenous bacterial population in the saline formation fluids of a natural gas field.
