Candida antarctica lipase B (CAL‐B) is a very effective catalyst for the production of amines
and amides using different enzymatic procedures. Simplicity of use, low cost, commercial …

Pregnancy induces a number of immunological, hormonal, and metabolic changes that are
necessary for the mother to adapt her body to this new physiological situation. The …

The microenvironment surrounding individual phytoplankton cells is often rich in dissolved
organic matter (DOM), which can attract bacteria by chemotaxis. These “phycospheres” may …

Stable-isotope probing is widely used to study the function of microbial taxa in their natural
environment, but sorting of isotopically labelled microbial cells from complex samples for …

Meaningful motion is an unambiguous biosignature, but because life in the Solar System is
most likely to be microbial, the question is whether such motion may be detected effectively …

The exchange of nutrients and dissolved gasses between corals and their environment is a
critical determinant of the growth of coral colonies and the productivity of coral reefs. To date, …

The capacity of planktonic marine microorganisms to actively seek out and exploit microscale
chemical hotspots has been widely theorized to affect ocean-basin scale biogeochemistry …

The sinking of organic particles in the ocean and their degradation by marine microorganisms
is one of the main drivers of the biological pump. Yet, the mechanisms determining the …

Microbial interactions influence the productivity and biogeochemistry of the ocean, yet they
occur in miniscule volumes that cannot be sampled by traditional oceanographic techniques. …

In natural environments, microbes are typically non‐dividing and gauge when nutrients
permit division. Current models are phenomenological and specific to nutrient‐rich, …
