Supplementation with that compound enabled plants to maintain their photosynthetic capacity and development of the root system while promoting the uptake of N, P, K, Ca, Mg, Fe, Mn, Cu, Zn, and B, altering the way in which those nutrients were partitioned throughout the plant.
The mass difference between the corresponding fragment ions present in the MS/MS spectra of the native and U-C-labeled compound enabled the assignment of the number of carbon atoms to each fragment signal and allowed the generation of meaningful putative molecular formulas for each fragment ion, which in turn also helped determine the elemental composition of the precursor ion.
The formation of blue compounds derived from FC-reactive phenols was independent of the structures of the phenolic compounds, enabling quantification of the full complement of phenolics from plant extracts.
In contrast to "wet" experiments, computational (in silico) prediction of xenobiotic metabolites can be applied to virtual (not yet synthesized) compounds, enabling the optimization of the drug discovery process and generating a priori knowledge of metabolites that may be used for the creation of prodrugs.
An earlier example of a metastable inorganic oxo-compound enabling biodegradative reactions through O2 formation is chlorite, an intermediate of microbial chlorate reduction (ClO2−→ Cl− + O2; Δ G°′ = −148.4 kJ mol−1; Ginkel et al., 1996; Chakraborty and Coates, 2004; Tan et al., 2006; Weelink et al., 2008; Mehboob et al., 2009a, b;).
It seems to be well justified to search for new compounds enabling biofilm reduction, which is highly resistant to antibiotics.
Studies in Escherichia coli have suggested that these molybdoenzymes have the ability to hydroxylate or dehydroxylate certain compounds enabling the bacteria to detoxify them [ 14].
Surprisingly, using a single known cytotoxic agent as a positive control for training a multivariate classifier allowed accurate quantification of cytotoxicity for mechanistically unrelated compounds enabling generation of dose response curves.
Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are of particular concern, as some members of this clade resist hop antimicrobial compounds, enabling growth and spoilage of beer through acidification, hazes, and off-flavors (Suzuki et al., 2006; Bokulich and Bamforth, 2013).
An ES-MS system equipped with an ion trap for MS measurements revealed characteristic MH+ and MS fragmentation patterns for these compounds, enabling the identification of these or similar complexes in biota samples.
