Hydrocarbon mineralization coupled to Fe(III) and Mn(IV) reduction was of minor importance.
The calculations indicated that hydrocarbon mineralization coupled to SO42− reduction and methanogenesis contributed in equal proportions to the hydrocarbon removal.
The ability to monitor overall construct mineralization non-invasively coupled with quantitative analysis of mineralized particle size, number, and distribution offers a powerful tool for elucidating how mineral growth mechanisms are affected by cell type, scaffold material and architecture, or bioreactor flow conditions.
Results indicate that the slow mineralization of bird guano, coupled with high levels of organic matter and reduced leaching, notably Ca, contribute to reduced soil acidification and low exchangeable Al3 + content, unlike ornithogenic soils from Maritime Antarctica.
Aging and death of cyanobacteria (especially M. aeruginosa which biomass was high) cell colonies was coupled with their mineralization.
The mineralization of A. pernyi silk sericin coupled with its biocompatibility and capability in promoting osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs proved that A. pernyi silk sericin would have potential applications in the field of bone tissue engineering.
Silk protein-based composites, coupled with selective peptides with mineralization domains, were utilized to mimic the soft-to-hard transition in osteochondral interfaces.
DNA-stable isotope probing showed increased assimilation of 13CO2 by AOA, but not AOB, under warming, indicating that AOA were actively growing and utilizing the 13CO2 substrates, which was coupled with significantly higher net nitrogen mineralization and nitrification rates.
Expression of these genes during MSC differentiation coupled with other differentiation assays (e.g., in vitro mineralization and in vivo bone formation for osteoblasts and in vitro lipid formation for adipocytes) will provide more definite evidence for the effects of age and HBO on lineage commitment by MSCs.
If coupled with an increase in terrestrial carbon inputs to thermokarst lakes from surface runoff, conditions favorable for mineralization and emission of methane, these water bodies may become even more important sources of greenhouse gases.
