The novel fungal strain, Fusarium sp. DS 682, was isolated from the rhizosphere of the perennial grass, Bouteloua gracilis , at the Konza Prairie Biological Station in Kansas. This fungal strain is common across North American grasslands and is resilient to environmental fluctuations. The draft...

Viral communities detected from three large grassland soil metagenomes with historically different precipitation moisture regimes.

"Visualizing the Hidden Half: Plant-Microbe Interactions in the Rhizosphere" Plant roots and the associated rhizosphere constitute a dynamic environment that fosters numerous intra- and interkingdom interactions, including metabolite exchange between plants and soil mediated by root exudates and the...

Particle-based crystallization is an important pathway to synthesize advanced materials with complex structures. Unlike monomer-by-monomer addition or Ostwald ripening, particle-based crystallization occurs via particle-by-particle addition to form larger crystals. This chapter reviews the...

Understanding molecular-scale factors governing the precipitation of aluminum hydroxides, such as gibbsite, under alkaline conditions is important for the formation of laterite deposits, as well as aluminum processing. However, mechanisms enabling tetrahedral aluminate ions to assemble into...

To better understand the effects of solution chemistry on particle aggregation in the complex legacy tank wastes at the Hanford (WA) and Savannah River (SC) sites, we have performed a series of tumbler small- and ultra-small-angle neutron scattering experiments on 20 wt % solid slurries of...

he production and release of H2 and O2 during and after electron (100–1000 eV) irradiation of boehmite nanoplatelet films was studied. H2 and O2 produced during irradiation likely correspond to electron-induced dissociation of the hydroxyls primarily in the terminal surface layers of the boehmite...

Understanding the structure and composition of aluminate complexes in extremely alkaline systems such as Bayer liquors has received enormous attention due to their fundamental and industrial importance. However, obtaining direct molecular information of the underlying ion–ion interactions using...

Electrolyte solutions in alkaline nuclear waste contain aluminate, hydroxide, nitrate and nitrite with sodium as the predominant counterion. The salts of these ions are highly soluble, so the liquids are highly concentrated. This study found that there is a substantial incompatibility between the...

X-ray, energetic photon, and electron irradiation can ionize and electronically excite target atoms and molecules. These excitations undergo complicated relaxation and energy-transfer processes that ultimately determine the manifold system responses to the deposited excess energy. In weakly bound...

The Sequel II System Sequencer is a high-throughput DNA sequencer machine developed and manufactured by PacBio , and is designed for high throughput, production-scale sequencing laboratories. Originally released in 2015, the Sequel system provides Single Molecule, Real-Time (SMRT) sequencing core...

Human infections caused by viral pathogens trigger a complex gamut of host responses that limit disease, resolve infection, generate immunity, and contribute to severe disease or death. Here, we present experimental methods and multi-omics data capture approaches representing the global host...

The Illumina MiSeq System Sequencer is a high-throughput DNA sequencer machine developed and manufactured by Illumina , and is designed for sequencing data acquisition using synthesis technology to provide an end-to-end solution (cluster generation, amplification, sequencing, and data analysis) in a...

The Illumina HiSeq X System Sequencer is a high-throughput DNA sequencer machine developed and manufactured by Illumina , and is designed for high throughput, production-scale sequencing laboratories. Built off the HiSeq 2500 System, harnessing the patterned flow cell technology originally developed...

The IONTOF TOF.SIMS 5 data source is a time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometer and powerful surface analysis tool used to investigate scientific questions in biological, environmental, and energy research. Among the most sensitive of surface analysis tools, it uses a high-vacuum technique...
