When 1,3-butadiene is incubated with liver postmitochondrial fractions from mouse, rat, monkey or man and a NADPH-regenerating system, the formation rate of butadiene monoxide is different in the four species. With the exception of the rhesus monkey, the amount of epoxide is proportional to the monooxygenase activity. The sequence of epoxide formation is B6C3F1 mouse, Sprague Dawley rat, man, rhesus monkey. The ratio between mouse and monkey was about 7:1. When 1,3-butadiene is incubated with homogenates from lung tissue, only tissues from mouse and rat produce measurable butadiene monoxide concentrations. The monooxygenase activity in lung tissue of the mouse was only 1/30 that in mouse liver. By contrast, lung tissue formed epoxide concentrations comparable to those formed by liver tissue, whereas monkey and human lung tissue did not produce any measurable levels of butadiene monoxide. The data might suggest that the results of recent rodent inhalation studies with 1,3-butadiene could not automatically be extrapolated to man.

Global Atmospheric Composition Effects from Marine Isoprene Emissions.

Isoprene emissions, primarily of biogenic origin, play an important role in atmospheric chemistry and climate. However, the atmospheric implications of marine isoprene emissions remain underexplored due to sparse in situ measurements and the intricate mechanisms governing isoprene in the upper ocean. This study uses 20 years of MODIS satellite observations to upscale isoprene production and loss rates derived from laboratory experiments, enabling global modeling of aqueous isoprene concentrations and emissions.

The reaction of the ,-diisopropyl bromoiminium salt with excess sodium phosphaethynolate (NaPCO) affords a diphospha-urea 2. Under blue light irradiation (450 nm), carbon monoxide is liberated affording the bis(carbene)P adduct 3. Photolysis of a benzene solution of 3 at 365 nm gives rise to the carbene dimer, namely the 1,2-bis(diisopropylamino)ethylene as a / mixture, along with white and red phosphorus.

The reduction of SO to fixed forms of sulfur can address the growing concerns regarding its detrimental effect on health and the environment as well as enable its valorization into valuable chemicals. The naturally occurring heme enzyme sulfite reductase (SiR) is known to reduce SO to H S and is an integral part of the global sulfur cycle. However, its action has not yet been mimicked in artificial systems outside of the protein matrix even after several decades of structural elucidation of the enzyme.

3-D printers are widely used. Based on previous findings, we hypothesized that their emissions could enhance allergen responsiveness and reduce lung diffusing capacity. Using a cross-over design, 28 young subjects with seasonal allergic rhinitis were exposed to 3-D printer emissions, either from polylactic acid (PLA) or from acrylonitrile butadiene styrene copolymer (ABS), for 2 h each.

Gas fermentation provides a promising platform to turn low-cost and readily available single-carbon waste gases into commodity chemicals, such as 2,3-butanediol. Clostridium autoethanogenum is usually used as a robust and flexible chassis for gas fermentation. Here, we leveraged constraint-based stoichiometric modeling and kinetic ensemble modeling of the metabolic network to provide a systematic analysis of metabolic engineering interventions for 2,3-butanediol overproduction and low carbon substrate loss in dissipated CO.
