Characterization of the Spectral Accuracy of an Orbitrap Mass Analyzer Using Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometry

Analytical Chemistry, 90(3), 1897–1906.

By: S. Khodjaniyazova n, M. Nazari n, K. Garrard n, M. Matos, G. Jackson & D. Muddiman n

MeSH headings : Caffeine / analysis; Carbon Isotopes / analysis; Nitrogen Isotopes / analysis; Oligopeptides / analysis; Spectrometry, Mass, Electrospray Ionization / methods; Spectrometry, Mass, Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption-Ionization / methods; Sulfur Isotopes / analysis
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that at optimum absolute ions abundances the Orbitrap can be used to accurately count carbons, nitrogens, and sulfurs in samples with varying masses and absolute monoisotopic ion abundances required for high SA were empirically determined by using the expected and experimental isotopic distributions to calculate the Pearson chi-square test.

Filtration via Conventional Glass Fiber Filters in 15N2 Tracer Assays Fails to Capture All Nitrogen-Fixing Prokaryotes

Frontiers in Marine Science, 5.

author keywords: oceanic nitrogen fixation; diazotrophs; cyanobacteria; glass fiber filter; bias; filtration
TL;DR: Using Illumina sequencing of nitrogenase (nifH) gene amplicons, it is shown that diazotroph communities can markedly differ between bulk water and filtrates from GF/F and Advantec filtrations, suggesting that different d Diazotrophs can pass through the filter types. (via Semantic Scholar)

Endocrine disruptors and the developing immune system

Current Opinion in Toxicology, 10, 31–36.

TL;DR: The role of endocrine disruption in DIT is considered and endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) with known DIT effects are highlighted, of special importance are microglia, the resident immune cells of the central nervous system that are highly influenced by endogenous endocrine signals during development and are therefore sensitive to effects from exposure to EDCs.

Quorum sensing and iron regulate a two-for-one siderophore gene cluster in Vibrio harveyi

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 115(29), 7581–7586.

By: D. McRose*, O. Baars*, M. Seyedsayamdost* & F. Morel*

author keywords: siderophores; quorum sensing; iron; Vibrio harveyi; high-resolution mass spectrometry

Factors associated with NO2 and NOX concentration gradients near a highway

Atmospheric Environment, 174, 214–226.

By: J. Richmond-Bryant*, M. Snyder*, R. Owen* & S. Kimbrough*

Contributors: J. Richmond-Bryant*, M. Snyder*, R. Owen* & S. Kimbrough*

author keywords: Near-road; NO2; Oxides of nitrogen; Nitrogen dioxide; Dispersion
TL;DR: Variability in near-road concentrations is influenced by local meteorology and ambient O3 concentration, and wind direction parallel to the highway was related to an increased magnitude of both dCNO2 /dx and dC NOX /dx, likely shrinking the zone of elevated concentrations occurring near roads.
