The regiodivergent O- to C- or N-carboxyl transfer of pyrazolyl carbonates is described, with DMAP giving preferential N-carboxylation and triazolinylidenes promoting selective C-carboxylation (both with up to >99 : 1 regioselectivity). An enantioselective O- to C-carboxyl variant using NHC catalysis is demonstrated (up to 92% ee), while mechanistic and DFT studies outline...
Plant wax lipids and lignin phenols are the two most common classes of molecular markers that are used to trace vascular plant-derived OM in the marine environment. However, their ¹³C and ¹⁴C compositions have not been directly compared, which can be used to constrain the flux and attenuation of terrestrial...
The placement of ‘Pseudomonas butanovora’ in the genus Thauera was proposed previously, based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, upon further studies of taxonomical characteristics. In this study, physiological characteristics and DNA–DNA reassociation data are presented and the transfer of ‘P. butanovora’ to the genus Thauera is proposed. The original...
AIM: C₄ photosynthesis is an adaptation that maintains efficient carbon assimilation in warm and low-CO₂ conditions. Due to the importance of C₄ grasses for carbon and surface energy fluxes numerous models have been proposed to describe their spatial distribution and forecast responses to climate change. These models often rely on...

A previous study showed that ammonia oxidation by the Thaumarchaeota Nitrosopumilus maritimus (group 1.1a) was resistant
to concentrations of the C₈ 1-alkyne, octyne, which completely inhibits activity by ammonia-oxidizing bacteria. In this study, the
inhibitory effects of octyne and other C₂ to C₁₀ 1-alkynes were evaluated on the nitrite production...
This study describes the combined experimental and computational elucidation of the mechanism and
origins of stereoselectivities in the NHC-catalyzed dynamic kinetic resolution (DKR) of α-substituted-β-ketoesters. Density functional theory computations reveal that the NHC-catalyzed DKR proceeds by two
mechanisms, depending on the stereochemistry around the forming bond: 1) a concerted, asynchronous...
Ammonia (NH₃)-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) and thaumarchaea (AOA) co-occupy most soils, yet no short-term growth-independent method exists to determine their relative contributions to nitrification in situ. Microbial monooxygenases differ in their vulnerability to inactivation by aliphatic n-alkynes, and we found that NH₃ oxidation by the marine thaumarchaeon Nitrosopumilus maritimus was unaffected...
The deep-towed Argo I optical/acoustical vehicle and a geographic information system (GIS) have been used to establish the abundance, widths, and spatial distribution of fissures, as well as the relative age distribution of lavas along the narrow (<500 m wide) axial zone of the East Pacific Rise (EPR) from 9°12′...
