The fungal community of the forest floor was examined as the cause of previously reported increases in soil organic matter due to experimental N deposition in ecosystems producing predominantly high-lignin litter, and the opposite response in ecosystems producing low-lignin litter. The mechanism proposed to explain this phenomenon was that white-rot basidiomycetes are more important in the degr...

We investigated the individual properties of various polyion-coated bubbles with a mean diameter ranging from 300 to 500 nm. Dark field microscopy allows one to track the individual particles of the submicron bubbles (SBs) encapsulated by the layer-by-layer (LbL) deposition of cationic and anionic polyelectrolytes (PEs). Our focus is on the two-step charge reversals of PE-SB complexes: the firs...

The most common technique for sorting, identifying, and purifying nucleic acid fragments is agarose gel electrophoresis. performance of the electrophoresis could be impacted by buffers’ composition, ionic strength, pH characteristics [1].

We previously introduced a vacuum deposition interface for matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI/TOF MS) on a moving surface (e.g., quartz wheel, Mylar tape, metal target). In our present work, the approach has been extended to demonstrate parallel analysis for multiple on-line infusion MALDI MS and capillary array electrophoresis (CAE)-MALDI MS. In...

Abstract Background Multiple myeloma causes different types of renal injury. C3 glomerulonephritis (C3GN) is characterised by an abnormal deposition complement in the glomeruli due to activation alternative pathway system. While association between C3GN and multiple has been well established, mild injury patients with high levels light chain not reported. Case presentation A 55-year-old Chinese...
