However, in the presence of 1 mM benzene and under typical groundwater conditions, chloride and bromide are minor sinks for sulfate radical (i.e., k13[benzene] > k14[Cl–]; k13[benzene] > k15[Br ]).
In order to analyze the consequences of this approach, together with analysis of the minor sinks, we have developed models C1 and C2.
We would like to thank to Henning Knoop from Humboldt University in Berlin for providing data for the minor sinks fluxes out of the Calvin-Benson cycle on the basis of FBA for metabolic network of Synechocystic sp. PCC 6803.
It is apparent that the content of metabolites within the Calvin-Benson cycle is less sensitive to changes induced by minor sinks implementation if the photorespiration is implemented as oxygenase activity of RuBisCO.
Finally, one can also conclude that the minor sinks, even with small relative fluxes, should be considered in the models of the Calvin-Benson cycle for analyses out of the steady state.
Other minor sinks are methanotrophic bacteria in aerated soils and reactions with atmospheric constituents in the stratosphere and the marine boundary layer (Allan et al., 2007; Cicerone and Oremland, 1988).
As it became evidently clear I would not be having a Christmas this year, I allowed myself to sink into a minor depression.
It was the late Mr Fortuyn's stunning success in Rotterdam, in the Dutch local elections in March, that holed the complacent "purple" coalition of the day (Labour red, Liberal blue, plus a minor party) and, in particular, sank the veteran Wim Kok, who was prime minister, and his Labour Party.
Including or excluding the regrowth has a minor effect on the current carbon sink (less than 0.01 Tg difference).
Temperate steppe grasses responded to nocturnal warming by depleting more stored carbohydrates at night and compensated for this response by enhancing daytime photosynthesis to such a degree (+19.8 %) that the steppe ecosystem switched from being a minor C source to a C sink (Wan et al. 2009).
