Petrogenesis and geodynamic implication of the newly recorded Cryogenian Suwaj adakitic magmatism at the eastern Arabian-Shield.

Recent reconnaissance geochemical investigations have unveiled Cryogenian magmatism linked to the compressional accretionary phase, contributing to the growth of the Afif Terrane in the eastern Arabian Shield. The Cryogenian Suwaj intrusive suite, within the Afif Terrane, displays a compositional range from gabbro-diorite to tonalite-granodiorite. The uniform compositional variation is primarily due to magmatic differentiation within parental magma across multiple pulses.

Molecular diagnosis for camel raw milk microbiota.

The existence of diverse microbes in unprocessed camel milk poses a significant threat to the well-being of a large population, especially infants and toddlers. The objective of this study was to ascertain the existence of microorganisms in unprocessed raw camel milk by employing a molecular-based technique in combination with a histological examination of bacteria. The identification of microbial species was achieved by employing PCR amplification and sequencing of 16s rRNA gene fragments.

Parallel Potentiometric and Capacitive Response in a Water-Gate Thin Film Transistor Biosensor at High Ionic Strength.

We show that an SnO-based water-gate thin film transistor (WGTFT) biosensor responds to a waterborne analyte, the spike protein of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, by a parallel potentiometric and capacitive mechanism. We draw our conclusion from an analysis of transistor output characteristics, which avoids the known ambiguities of the common analysis based on transfer characteristics. Our findings contrast with reports on organic WGTFT biosensors claiming a purely capacitive response due to screening effects in high ionic strength electrolytes, but are consistent with prior work that clearly shows a potentiometric response even in strong electrolytes.

Draft Genome Sequence of the Plant Growth-Promoting Bacterium Pseudomonas pseudoalcaligenes KB-10.

KB-10 can enhance salinity tolerance in coriander plants. We report a draft genome sequence of KB-10, comprising a 5,241,174-bp circular chromosome containing 4,921 genes, with a GC content of 62.97%.
