Energy metabolism in extant life is centered around phosphate and the energy-dense
phosphoanhydride bonds of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), a deeply conserved and ancient …

In modern geochemistry, phosphorus (P) is considered synonymous with phosphate (Pi)
because Pi controls the growth of organisms as a limiting nutrient in many ecosystems. The …

A long-term goal of exoplanet studies is the identification and detection of biosignature
gases. Beyond the most discussed biosignature gas O2, only a handful of gases have been …

The element phosphorus (P) controls growth in many ecosystems as the limiting nutrient,
where it is broadly considered to reside as pentavalent P in phosphate minerals and organic …

Phosphite, an essential component in the biogeochemical phosphorus cycle, may make
significant contributions to the bioavailable phosphorus pool as well as water eutrophication …

Abstract Phosphite [P (III)], an emerging eutrophication pollutant, has attracted limited
attention in recent years. Owing to the higher solubility and resistance to biotransformation of …

We present a new model for the biological production of phosphine (PH 3). Phosphine is
found globally, in trace amounts, in the Earth's atmosphere. It has been suggested as a key …

Inorganic phosphate is the major bioavailable form of the essential nutrient phosphorus.
However, the concentration of phosphate in most natural habitats is low enough to limit …

Algae (including eukaryotic microalgae and cyanobacteria) have been genetically
engineered to convert light and carbon dioxide to many industrially and commercially …

Abstract Phosphite (HPO 3 2−) is a highly soluble, reduced phosphorus compound that is
often overlooked in biogeochemical analyses. Although the oxidation of phosphite to …
