Carbon dioxide usually floats away into the sky, but a tiny soil bacterium has a different plan. Under the right conditions, it converts the gas into solid limestone. The trick belongs to Bacillus ...
This editorial initiative, led by Prof. Isabel Correia and Prof. Sylvia M. Draper, Specialty Chief Editors of the Bioinorganic Chemistry section, and Prof. Debbie Crans, Field Chief Editor of the ...
Stabilization of heavy metals through phosphate-solubilizing bacteria (PSB) induced phosphate precipitation and urease-producing bacteria (UPB) induced carbonate precipitation are promising ...
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) bacteria attach to the stomach’s lining. In some cases, they can cause peptic and duodenal ulcers. Natural treatments, such as honey, aloe vera, and probiotics, may ...
Our work provides insights into how cells solve the problem of delivering nickel, a toxic metal, to the active site of a metalloenzyme such as urease. Urease, a nickel-containing enzyme, is a ...
Urease, a nickel-containing metalloenzyme, was the first enzyme to be crystallized and has a prominent position in the history of biochemistry. In the present study, we identified a nickel urease gene ...
Surface-bound enzymes act as pumps in the presence of their specific substrates or promoters, thereby combining sensing and fluidic pumping into a single self-powered microdevice. Using a combination ...
High nitrogen losses by ammonia volatilization are expected when urea is used as the source of N. The use of controlled-release urea and urease inhibitors are possible strategies to reduce such losses ...
Bacterial genomic DNA was extracted from pure culture with the fast spin kit (Invitrogen) following the manufacturer's instructions. Amplification of 16S rRNA gene was performed in 50 μL of reaction ...
