Photocatalytic oxidation of the sulfur-containing compounds, trimethylene sulfide (C3H6S), propylene sulfide (C3H6S), thiophene (C4H4S), and methyl disulfide (C2H6S2), was carried out using an annular plug flow reactor with TiO2 in a supported form. Formation of products and byproducts was monitored in real time using a mass spectrometry online system. Mineralization of the sulfur-containing co...

Aromatic substances are among the key determinants of food and beverage quality, owing to their interactions with the senses of smell and taste. These can then determine consumer acceptance or rejection of a product. The aroma of foods is influenced by different compounds, among which sulfur containing compounds are an important group due to their abundance and aromatic impact. Likewise, wine c...

The removal of sulfur compounds from petroleum is extremely necessary for industrial and environmental reasons. Sulfur in transportation fuels is a major air pollution source. In this work, the efficiency of nanostructured Ni-clinoptilolite adsorbent was investigated in the removal of sulfur from gas oil. For this purpose, the design of experiments was performed by selecting effective factors i...

Under adequate sulfur supply, plants accumulate sulfate in the vacuoles and use sulfur-containing metabolites as storage compounds. Under sulfur-limiting conditions, these pools of stored sulfur-compounds are depleted in order to balance the nitrogen to sulfur ratio for protein synthesis. Stress conditions like sulfur limitation and/or pathogen attack induce changes in the sulfate pool and the ...

Fungi are well known for their metabolic versatility, whether it is the degradation of complex organic substrates or the biosynthesis of intricate secondary metabolites. The vast majority of studies concerning fungal metabolic pathways for sulfur assimilation have focused on conventional sources of sulfur such as inorganic sulfur ions and sulfur-containing biomolecules. Less is known about the ...

Through a combination of selective extractions and molecular characterization techniques including Isoelectric Focusing Chromatography Electrospray Ionization Fourier-Transform Ion Cyclotron Resonance Mass spectrometry, structures diatom ( Phaeodactylum tricornutum ) coccolithophore Emiliania huxleyi )-associated biopolymers that are responsible for the distinct partitioning behavior between 21...
