Ultrasensitive quantitation of Paraquat based on a small molecule-induced dual-cycle amplification strategy.

Paraquat (PQ) is a typical biotoxic small molecule. Knowledge of how to directly introduce it into cyclic amplification rather than transform it into a secondary target is lacking in current analytical methods. Considering the urgent need for trace pesticide residue detection and the inherent defects of small molecule analysis, a CRISPR/Cas12a-driven small molecule-induced dual-cycle strategy was developed based on the immune competition method.

Role of Kinetic Instability in Runaway-Electron Avalanches and Elevated Critical Electric Fields.

The effects of kinetic whistler wave instabilities on the runaway-electron (RE) avalanche is investigated. With parameters from experiments at the DIII-D National Fusion Facility, we show that RE scattering from excited whistler waves can explain several poorly understood experimental results. We find an enhancement of the RE avalanche for low density and high electric field, but for high density and low electric field the scattering can suppress the avalanche and raise the threshold electric field, bringing the present model much closer to observations.

Isolation and Complete Genome Sequence of Algibacter alginolytica sp. nov., a Novel Seaweed-Degrading Bacteroidetes Bacterium with Diverse Putative Polysaccharide Utilization Loci.

The members of the phylum Bacteroidetes are recognized as some of the most important specialists for the degradation of polysaccharides. However, in contrast to research on Bacteroidetes in the human gut, research on polysaccharide degradation by marine Bacteroidetes is still rare. The genus Algibacter belongs to the Flavobacteriaceae family of the Bacteroidetes, and most species in this genus are isolated from or near the habitat of algae, indicating a preference for the complex polysaccharides of algae.
