The 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill (EVOS) in Prince William Sound, Alaska provided impetus for a great deal of research into the ecosystems of the Northern Gulf of Alaska. Buried within the multitude of resulting impacts, which included hundreds of thousands of oiled seabirds and dramatic ecosystem shifts in the...
Carbonyl sulfide (COS) has been investigated as a rapid-equilibrium inhibitor of CO oxidation
by the CO dehydrogenase purified from Rhodospirillum rubrum. The kinetic evidence suggests that the
inhibition by COS is largely competitive versus CO (Ki = 2.3 pM) and uncompetitive versus methylviologen
as electron acceptor (Ki = 15.8 pM)....
Crops were grown at the experimental farms using accepted cultural practices within the limits of experimentation or trials were conducted on growers' fields. Most experiments were designed as randomized complete blocks with two to five replications. Herbicide treatments were applied uniformly with precision plot sprays or granular formulations were distributed...
