Unlabelled: To examine the synergetic effects of ocean acidification (OA) and light intensity on the photosynthetic performance of marine diatoms, the marine centric diatom was cultured under ambient low CO (LC, 390 μatm) and elevated high CO (HC, 1000 μatm) levels under low-light (LL, 60 μmol m s) or high-light (HL, 220 μmol m s) conditions for over 20 generations. HL stimulated the growth rate by 128 and 99% but decreased cell size by 9 and 7% under LC and HC conditions, respectively. However, HC did not change the growth rate under LL but decreased it by 9% under HL. LL combined with HC decreased both maximum quantum yield ( / ) and effective quantum yield ( ), measured under either low or high actinic light. When exposed to UV radiation (UVR), LL-grown cells were more prone to UVA exposure, with higher UVA and UVR inducing inhibition of compared with HL-grown cells. Light use efficiency () and maximum relative electron transport rate (rETR) were inhibited more in the HC-grown cells when UVR (UVA and UVB) was present, particularly under LL. Our results indicate that the growth light history influences the cell growth and photosynthetic responses to OA and UVR.

Background: Aarskog-Scott syndrome (AAS) is a rare condition with multiple congenital anomalies, caused by hemizygote variants in the gene. Its description was based mostly on old case reports, in whom a molecular diagnosis was not always available, or on small series. The aim of this study was to better delineate the phenotype and the natural history of AAS and to provide clues for the diagnosis and the management of the patients.

Unlabelled: Archaeal molecular biology has been a topic of intense research in recent decades as their role in global ecosystems, nutrient cycles, and eukaryotic evolution comes to light. The hypersaline-adapted archaeal species and serve as important model organisms for understanding archaeal genomics, genetics, and biochemistry, in part because efficient tools enable genetic manipulation. As a result, the number of strains in circulation among the haloarchaeal research community has increased in recent decades.

Graphitic Carbon Nitride for Photocatalytic Hydrogen Production from Water Splitting: Nano-Morphological Control and Electronic Band Tailoring.

Nanomaterials (Basel)

December 2024

State Key Laboratory of Solidifcation Processing, School of Materials Science and Engineering, Northwestern Polytechnical University, Xi'an 710072, China.

Semiconductor polymeric graphitic carbon nitride (g-CN) photocatalysts have garnered significant and rapidly increasing interest in the realm of visible light-driven hydrogen evolution reactions. This interest stems from their straightforward synthesis, ease of functionalization, appealing electronic band structure, high physicochemical and thermal stability, and robust photocatalytic activity. This review starts with the basic principle of photocatalysis and the development history, synthetic strategy, and structural properties of g-CN materials, followed by the rational design and engineering of g-CN from the perspectives of nano-morphological control and electronic band tailoring.
