Derivatives of ribosyl pyrophosphate have been synthesized, and examined with magnesium salts in the coupling of the ribose unit to various nucleophiles, including pyrazole and 2-chloroimidazole. Only with the magnesium salt present did they generate the ribosyl cation by binding to the leaving group and then couple the ribose derivative with nucleophiles. The role of magnesium salts in phosphorylation of methanol by ATP was also examined. Here a remarkable effect was seen: phosphorylation by ATP was slowed with low concentrations of Mg(2+) but accelerated by higher concentrations. Related effects were also seen in the effect of Mg(2+) on phosphorylation by ADP. The likely mechanisms explain these effects.

Reusing treated wastewater (TWW) for crop irrigation has shown to provide environmental and economic benefits as well as drawbacks. This study was conducted using soils collected from a wastewater reuse facility in Tallahassee, FL, mainly to elucidate the long-term impact(s) of TWW irrigation on soil microbiome and nutrient status. Approximately 890 ha of land have been spray-irrigated with TWW since the 1980's to grow fodder crops.

A method was developed for determining five organochlorine unstable pesticides (captan, chlorothalonil, dichlofluanid, folpet, and tolylfluanid) in agricultural products using GC-MS/MS. To prevent pesticide degradation, the food sample was maintained at -20℃ until the initiation of the extraction process. The sample underwent homogenization with acetonitrile and salting out using anhydrous magnesium sulfate and sodium chloride in the presence of citrate salts.

Chloride salts (MgCl and occasionally CaCl) coagulation of the heated soymilks is the key step in manufacturing traditional tofu. In this study, colloidal state diagrams were constructed first, and then the effects of processing parameters, including coagulant concentration, preheating intensity, protein concentration, and coagulation temperature as well as the intrinsic properties (phytate concentration) on the microstructure, protein coagulability, and water holding capacity (WHC) were investigated to gain an overall framework understanding of the Mg and Ca coagulated soymilk process. As the variables changed, the coagulated soymilks displayed one of the following states: colloidal suspension, flocs, weak gel, and strong gel.

Newly formed playas, such as those resulting from the desiccation of Lake Urmia (LU) in northwest Iran, are significant global dust sources with implications for human health and the environment. Stabilizing these surfaces affordably can be achieved using locally sourced magnesium-enriched brine. To evaluate this approach, for LU playa, we examined the accumulation of ions, minerals deposition, and salt crust (Cr) formation in LU brine under both natural and laboratory conditions.
