Phenotypic and biochemical characterisation of the causal agent of bacterial leaf streak of maize
… profiles with SDS-PAGE electrophoresis and carbon utilisation patterns with the Biolog® GN2 system. Protein profiling banding patterns was assessed based on presence/absence criteria. Highly similar protein profiles were observed among the X. campestris pv. zeae isolates but groupings of …

The Biochemistry of VapBC Toxin-Antitoxins
… VapC expression in M. smegmatis are involved in carbon utilisation and transport (Robson, 2010). Bioinformatics shows that the target sequence is overrepresented in the downregulated transcripts. The majority of the downregulated genes are in operons, which suggests a mechanism for destabilising …

Digital Chemical Engineering Across Scales and Domains: Case studies in electrochemistry, automated labs, and reticular materials
… on mechanistic understanding of electrochemical carbon dioxide reduction, a reaction central to carbon utilisation. It begins by analysing the challenges of connecting atomistic reaction mechanisms to reactor-scale behaviour under industrial conditions, motivating the need for integrated …

Preparation of CO2 adsorbents and techno-economic analysis for CO2 capture and utilization
… non-volatility, etc. Many adsorbents such as carbonaceous adsorbents, microporous organic frameworks (MOFs), amorphous microporous/porous organic polymers (MOPs/POPs) have been proposed to capture CO2. Among them, hypercrosslinked polymers (HCPs) and biochar are very promising for large-scale …

Survival and recovery of Escherichia coli O157:H7 during starvation at sub-optimal temperatures
… and non-starved cells to metabolise single carbon sources were compared using the Biolog MicroPlatesTM. When held at 4°C, a three- to six-log reduction in culturability on PCA was observed after 84 days of starvation. The reduction in culturability observed for cells starved at 15°C was …

Integration of anaerobic digestion with bio-electrochemical technologies in cascading circular bioeconomy systems producing biofuel and chemicals
… a pathway for effective in-situ bioconversion of carbon dioxide to biomethane and improved substrate utilisation. The overall carbon utilisation of biomass conversion in AD and MEC-AD can be limited by the presence of carbon dioxide (CO2; approximately 30–45%) in the off-gas. This residual CO2 can …

Stable isotopic insight into pelagic carbon cycling in Loch Lomond: a large, temperate latitude lake.
Lakes play an important role in biosphere carbon dynamics. Though proportionally they constitute a small surface feature on the planet, in many cases lakes are subject to significant subsidies of organic material from their catchments. This input of allochthonous organic material, in addition to …

Multiscale modelling of CO₂ Electroreduction on Cu - based gas diffusion electrodes (GDEs)
… electrochemical system. CO₂RR is a promising carbon utilisation technology which converts or recycles CO₂ into value-added hydrocarbons and fuels, powered by water and renewable energy (solar and wind). Gas diffusion electrodes (GDEs) are an important component of the electrochemical cell …
