Bacterial Salmonella enteritidis var. Issatchenko in media without exogenic energy source uptakes K+ in one step with Km 2.1 mM and Vmax 0.08 mM min-1/10(12) cells. This K+ uptake does not depend on pH and osmotic shock and is not inhibited by DCC. Endogenic energy source (glucose) leads to K+ uptake with Km 2.8 mM and Vmax 0.10 mM min-1/10(12) cells, and secretion of H+. The ratio of the DCC-sensitive fluxes of H+ to K+ equals 2. Arsenate and protonophores depress the K+ uptake. Valinomycin decreases the rate of K+ uptake. It is assumed that K+ uptake takes place via the Trk-like system, which works as a separate system as supercomplex with the H+-ATPase complex.

The ubiquitous distribution of microplastics (MPs) in aquatic environments is linked to their transport in rivers and streams. However, the specific mechanism of bedload microplastic (MP) transport, notably their stochastic behaviors, remains an underexplored area. To investigate this, particle tracking velocimetry was employed to examine the continuous near-bed movements of four types of MPs under nine setups with different experimental conditions in a laboratory flume, with an emphasis on their streamwise transport.

The impact of thermal treatment for roasting on pine nuts from two geographical regions in Russia (Vladivostok and Baikal) was studied. They were roasted at 180 °C for 20 min in an oven. The aim was to establish the changes that occurred in the chemical (proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, ash, fibers), lipid composition (fatty acids, tocopherols, sterols, phospholipids), and physicochemical characteristics (peroxide value, acid value, iodine value, conjugated dienes and trienes) after roasting of the pine nuts.

FEgrow is an open-source software package for building congeneric series of compounds in protein binding pockets. For a given ligand core and receptor structure, it employs hybrid machine learning/molecular mechanics potential energy functions to optimise the bioactive conformers of supplied linkers and functional groups. Here, we introduce significant new functionality to automate, parallelise and accelerate the building and scoring of compound suggestions, such that it can be used for automated design.

With the help of the qubit driving from the ground state to the excited state, the cascaded emission of magnon occurs and then the two-magnon bundle is formed. By analyzing the ordinary and generalized second-order correlation functions, it is found that the antibunched two-magnon bundle could be achieved via properly choosing the system parameters, which is originated from the anharmonicity of dressed energy levels induced by magnon-qubit couplings.

sp. strain p52, an aerobic dioxin degrader, was capable of utilizing petroleum hydrocarbons as the sole sources of carbon and energy for growth. In the present study, the degradation of the mixture of aliphatic hydrocarbons (hexadecane and tetradecane) and aromatic hydrocarbons (phenanthrene and anthracene) by strain p52 was examined.
