This research appraised the simultaneous biofixation, that is not quite common in scientific literature, of carbon dioxide (CO) and nitric oxides (NO) by microalgae species Chlorella vulgaris, Haematococcus pluvialis, and Scenedesmus subspicatus. The experimental design was established by five treatments with gas concentrations between control-0.04% of CO, 5 to 15% of CO, and 30 to 100 ppm of NOx.

A 21-year-old woman arrived at the emergency department with dyspnoea, arterial hypotension and abdominal pain after 5 days with a influenza-like syndrome. SARS-CoV-2 was detected by reverse transcription PCR in a nasopharyngeal swab specimen. CT of the chest and abdomen with contrast demonstrated a minimal amount of free intraperitoneal fluid, gallbladder with wall oedema, multiple para-aortic lymph node and interlobular septal thickening with ground glass opacities on the lungs.

Article Synopsis
  • - Biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) is crucial for providing nitrogen in tropical savannas, especially in Brazil's Cerrado, which has a conservative nitrogen cycle.
  • - A long-term study explored how seasonal rainfall and nutrient additions (control, liming, nitrogen, nitrogen + phosphorus, phosphorus) affected the abundance of N-fixing bacteria related to Bradyrhizobium.
  • - Results showed that as the seasons changed from rainy to dry, the amount of nitrogen-fixing genes decreased, particularly in the liming treatment, indicating that various factors influence nitrogen-fixation in these nutrient-poor and seasonally dry areas.
