Draft Genome Sequences of Four Aerobic Isobutane-Metabolizing Bacteria

MICROBIOLOGY RESOURCE ANNOUNCEMENTS, 10(18).

By: W. Chen n, N. Faulkner  n, C. Smith n, M. Fruchte n & M. Hyman n 

Ed(s): J. Maresca

TL;DR: The draft genome sequences of four aerobic gaseous alkane-oxidizing bacteria isolated from soil by enrichment culture using isobutane (2-methylpropane) as the sole carbon and energy source reveal microorganisms with multiple alkane/monooxygenases, including soluble di-iron monooxygenase (SDIMOs), copper-containing mono oxygengenases (CuMMOs), and alkane hydroxylases (AHs).

2009 journal article

Isotopic Fractionation of Methyl tert-Butyl Ether Suggests Different Initial Reaction Mechanisms during Aerobic Biodegradation

Environmental Science & Technology, 43(8), 2793–2799.

By: J. McKelvie n, M. Hyman n , M. Elsner  n, C. Smith n, D. Aslett n, G. Lacrampe-Couloume  n, B. Sherwood Lollar  n

MeSH headings : Aerobiosis; Bacteria, Aerobic / metabolism; Methyl Ethers / metabolism
TL;DR: Significantly, delta13C measurements of the tert-butyl alcohol and tert-amyl alcohol products indicated that the secondary metabolites of these groups do not participate in the reaction and confirmed that ether biodegradation by strain K1 involves oxidation of the methoxy (or ethoxy) group.

Effects of notebook computer configuration and task on user biomechanics, productivity, and comfort

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF INDUSTRIAL ERGONOMICS, 30(1), 7–31.

By: C. Sommerich n, H. Starr n, C. Smith n & C. Shivers n

author keywords: portable computer; laptop computer; notebook computer; ergonomics; biomechanics; pointing device
TL;DR: Results were generally consistent with the hypothesis, though some biomechanical advantages were identified for each configuration; specifics and exceptions are discussed, along with reasons for a general recommendation for the use of an external mouse, or mouse and keyboard when using a notebook computer for an extended period of time.
