Carbide-derived carbons produced from titanium carbide at temperatures from 600 degrees C to 1000 degrees C and exhibiting different porosities were treated with urea in order to introduce nitrogen containing species to their surface. Adsorption of hydrogen sulfide in the dynamic conditions in the presence of moisture was studied on initial and modified samples. The samples, before and after exposure to hydrogen sulfide, were characterized using adsorption of nitrogen, potentiometric titration, elemental analysis, and thermal analysis. The results showed that the introduction of nitrogen significantly enhances the performance of carbons in the process of hydrogen sulfide removal. The amount adsorbed and the degree of oxidation depended on the porosity. On the samples with very small pores, the adsorption was limited, probably owing to the sterical hindrances. With an increase in the size and volume of micropores, in which water and hydrogen sulfide can be accommodated, the efficiency of H(2)S removal by CDC increased.

Aerobic and anaerobic organisms and their functions are spatially or temporally decoupled at scales ranging from individual cells to ecosystems and from minutes to hours. This is due to competition for energy substrates and/or biochemical incompatibility with oxygen (O). Here we report a chemolithotrophic Aquificales bacterium, Hydrogenobacter, isolated from a circumneutral hot spring in Yellowstone National Park (YNP) capable of simultaneous aerobic and anaerobic respiration when provided with hydrogen (H), elemental sulfur (S), and O.

Obesity treatment requires an individualized approach, emphasizing the need to identify metabolic pathways of diagnostic relevance. Toll-like receptors (TLRs), particularly TLR2 and TLR4, play a crucial role in metabolic disorders, as receptor deficiencies improves insulin sensitivity and reduces obesity-related inflammation. Additionally, hydrogen sulfide (HS) influences lipolysis, adipogenesis, and adipose tissue browning through persulfidation.

Sulfur-containing small molecules, mainly including cysteine (Cys), homocysteine (Hcy), glutathione (GSH), and hydrogen sulfide (HS), are crucial biomarkers, and their levels in different body locations (living cells, tissues, blood, urine, saliva, ) are inconsistent and constantly changing. Therefore, it is highly meaningful and challenging to synchronously and accurately detect them in complex multi-component samples without mutual interference. In this work, we propose a steric hindrance-regulated probe, NBD-2FDCI, with single excitation dual emissions to achieve self-adaptive detection of four analytes.
