Article Synopsis
  • - Two specific strains (SCP14 and SCP15) were extracted from coral remains in Singapore, particularly in high-temperature conditions.
  • - The genomes of these strains were sequenced, which means their genetic makeup was analyzed and recorded.
  • - The genetic information revealed important elements that contribute to the health of coral, especially when they face temperature-related stress.

A sp. was isolated from the skeleton of the heat resilient coral . Genome analysis revealed the presence of the complete denitrification pathway and potential dimethylsulfoniopropionate metabolism which enhance coral resilience and production of tropodithietic acid, an antibiotic implicated in host defense.

The effect of temperature on the localized corrosion resistance and passive film characteristics of laser powder-bed fusion (LPBF) 316L (UNS S31603) was studied in a buffered 3.5 wt% NaCl solution at 25, 50, and 75 °C. DC techniques such as cyclic potentiodynamic polarization showed lower passive current densities, high breakdown potentials, and a higher resistance to initial breakdown compared with wrought 316L samples at all temperatures.

Targeting antigens with antibodies exhibiting pH/Ca-dependent binding against an antigen is an attractive strategy to mitigate target-mediated disposition and antigen buffering. Studies have reported improved serum exposure of antibodies exhibiting pH/Ca-binding against membrane-bound receptors. Asialoglycoprotein receptor 1 (ASGR1) is a membrane-bound receptor primarily localized in hepatocytes.

In this work, the passivation and localized corrosion of selective laser melted (SLM) stainless steel 316 L when exposed to high pressures of CO with the presence of HS and Cl at 25 °C and 125 °C were studied. Depletion of Cr/Mo was observed at the cell interiors and melt-pool boundaries (MPBs) compared to the cell boundaries. Volta potential differences obtained from scanning Kelvin probe force microscopy (SKPFM) showed that the MPBs were 8-20 mV lower than the matrix, while the cell interiors were 20-50 mV lower than the cell boundaries.
