The transfer of organic material from one coastal environment to another can increase production in recipient habitats in a process known as spatial subsidy. Microorganisms drive the generation, transformation, and uptake of organic material in shallow coastal environments, but their significance in connecting coastal habitats through spatial subsidies has received limited attention. We address...

The Brazilian Agricultural Products Wholesale Market fits well as example of residues generating system, reaching 750 metric tons per month of total residues, from which 600 metric tons are organic material and 150 metric tons are recyclable materials. Organic material is basically composed of fruit, vegetables and flowers leftovers from the products commercialization. The recyclable compounds ...

Most studies of freshwater dissolved organic matter (DOM) have been conducted in temperate climates where allochthonous organic material is abundant. Because climatic conditions of the Southwestern USA are different than temperate environments, DOM from three freshwater reservoirs (Saguaro Lake, Bartlett Lake and Lake Pleasant) was investigated to determine the importance of allochthonous and a...

[1] The average composition of the dissolved and particulate products of early degradation of marine phytoplankton has been established for the first time in a coastal upwelling system using a mixing analysis along isopycnal surfaces combined with a stoichiometric model. About 17–18% of the mineralized organic matter is derived from the decomposition of organic particulates, and 16–35% is from ...

Water soluble and biocompatible fluorescent organic nanoparticles based on aggregation-induced emission (AIE) material were facilely prepared by mixing AIE material and surfactant. The utilization of such fluorescent organic nanoparticles for cell imaging applications was further explored.

A novel density barrier material, Phase Lock Gel, has been formulated and optimized for use in enhancing the separation between aqueous and organic phases during organic extraction/ centrifugation of nucleic acids. Phase Lock Gel is inert, stable to heating, compatible with most enzymatic reactions of nucleic acids without sacrificing subsequent downstream applications, and can be easily and co...
