AI Article Synopsis

  • The study investigates how soil-solid phase buffering affects phosphorus availability for plants, highlighting the importance of labile phosphorus pools and their desorption kinetics.
  • Utilizing the DGT technique, researchers evaluated phosphorus levels in 10 agricultural soils across the UK and compared those results to traditional soil phosphorus extraction methods.
  • Findings revealed that the commonly used Olsen P method significantly overestimated desorbable phosphorus, and while various DIFS models showed good data fitting, they had discrepancies in parameter agreement, with the 3D model deemed the most accurate.

Article Abstract

The buffering of phosphorus concentrations in soil solution by the soil-solid phase is an important process for providing plant root access to nutrients. Accordingly, the size of labile solid phase-bound phosphorus pool and the rate at which it can resupply phosphorous into the dissolved phase can be important variables in determining when the plant availability of the nutrient may be limited. The phosphorus labile pool (P) and its desorption kinetics were simultaneously evaluated in 10 agricultural UK soils using the diffusive gradients in thin-films (DGT) technique. The DGT-induced fluxes in the soil and sediments model (DIFS) was fitted to the time series of DGT deployments (1-240 h), which allowed the estimation of P, and the system response time ( T). The P concentration was then compared to that obtained by several soil P extracts including Olsen P, FeO-P, and water extractable P, in order to assess if the data from these analytical procedures can be used to represent the labile P across different soils. The Olsen P concentration, commonly used as a representation of the soil labile P pool, overestimated the desorbable P concentration by 6-fold. The use of this approach for the quantification of soil P desorption kinetic parameters found a wide range of equally valid solutions for T. Additionally, the performance of different DIFS model versions working in different dimensions (1D, 2D, and 3D) was compared. Although all models could provide a good fit to the experimental DGT time series data, the fitted parameters showed a poor agreement between different model versions. The limitations of the DIFS model family are associated with the assumptions taken in the modeling approach and the three-dimensional (3D) version is here considered to be the most precise among them.

Climate change is one of the main challenges that human societies are currently facing. Given that forests represent major natural carbon sinks in terrestrial ecosystems, administrations worldwide are launching broad-scale programs to promote forests, including stands of non-native trees. Yet, non-native trees may have profound impacts on the functions and services of forest ecosystems, including the carbon cycle, as they may differ widely from native trees in structural and functional characteristics.

Development of Etf-3-specific nanobodies to prevent Ehrlichia infection and LNP-mRNA delivery in cellular and murine models.

Ehrlichia chaffeensis is an obligatory intracellular bacterium that infects monocytes and macrophages and causes human monocytic ehrlichiosis. Ehrlichia translocated factor-3 (Etf-3) is a type IV secretion system effector that binds host-cell ferritin light chain and induces ferritinophagy, thus increasing cellular labile iron pool for Ehrlichia proliferation. To further characterize roles of Etf-3 in Ehrlichia infection, we produced immune libraries of Etf-3-specific nanobodies (Nbs).

The metabolism of phytoplankton cells is synchronized with the diel light cycle. Likewise, associated heterotrophic bacteria adjust their diel expression of transporter- and catabolism-related genes to target the dissolved organic matter released by the phytoplankton cell. Dissolved combined carbohydrates (DCCHO) and dissolved amino acids (DAA) are major phytoplankton products and bacterial substrates.

The priming effect (PE) refers to the enhanced remineralization of recalcitrant organic carbon (OC) driven by the respiration of labile OC, potentially increasing CO fluxes from aquatic ecosystems. Patterns of PE induced by marine and terrestrial OC inputs can be explored through sedimentary contributions to the degraded OC pool. In this study, coastal sediments (δC = -25.

Bone marrow stromal cells protect myeloma cells from ferroptosis through GPX4 deSUMOylation.

Bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) are vital for preventing chemotherapy induced apoptosis of multiple myeloma (MM), but roles and machinery in other forms of cell death have not been well elucidated. Here, using an in vitro BMSC-MM interacting model, we observed BMSCs protected MM cells from labile iron pool (LIP) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) triggered ferroptosis by elevating glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4). Mechanistically, direct interaction with BMSCs upregulated the expression of SUMO-specific protease 3 (SENP3) in MM cells through CD40/CD40L signaling pathway, and SENP3 de-conjugated SUMO2 at lysine 75 residue to stabilize GPX4 protein, thereby consuming ROS to obviate ferroptosis in MM cells from the Vk∗MYC mouse model, as well as in CD138B220 cells separated from the Cd40l;Prx1 mice (CD40-CKO) and Sumo2 knock out (SUMO2-KO) mice.
