All organisms produce specialized organic molecules, ranging from small volatile chemicals
to large gene-encoded peptides, that have evolved to provide them with diverse cellular and …

The anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) process has the advantages of high
efficiency and low energy consumption, so it has broad application prospects in biological …

London dispersion, which constitutes the attractive part of the famous van der Waals
potential, has long been underappreciated in molecular chemistry as an important element …

Conspectus Cycloaddition reactions are an effective method to quickly build molecular
complexity. As predicted by the Woodward–Hoffmann rules, concerted cycloadditions with …

Advances in imaging technologies have revealed that many bacteria possess organelles
with a proteomically defined lumen and a macromolecular boundary. Some are bound by a …

Anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) is a microbial process in which NH4+ is
oxidized to N2 gas with NO2− as an electron acceptor. The anammox process is mediated …

Extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) of aerobic (AerAOB) and anaerobic ammonium-
oxidizing bacteria (AnAOB) are expected to have a significant impact on the performance of …

Biological systems sense and respond to mechanical stimuli in a complex manner. In an
effort to develop synthetic materials that transduce mechanical force into multifold changes …

Organic matter must be removed from sewage to protect the quality of the water bodies that it
is discharged to. Most current sewage treatment plants are aimed at removing organic …

Anaerobic ammonium-oxidizing (anammox) bacteria primarily grow by the oxidation of
ammonium coupled to nitrite reduction, using CO2 as the sole carbon source. Although they …
