During fertilization, eggs undergo a temporary rise in the intracellular concentration of free Ca(2+) ions. Using the membrane permeable acetoxymethylester of the fluorescent calcium indicator dye Fura-2, Fura-2 AM, the Ca(2+)-signal at fertilization was not detectable in eggs of the

Halogenated organic compounds serve as terminal electron acceptors for anaerobic respiration in a diverse range of microorganisms. Here, we report on the widespread distribution and diversity of reductive dehalogenase homologous (rdhA) genes in marine subsurface sediments. A total of 32

The concentrations of traditional brominated flame retardants (BFRs) and organophosphate flame retardants (OPFRs) in new consumer products, including electronic equipment, curtains, wallpaper, and building materials, on the Japanese market in 2008 were investigated. Although some components of the electronic equipment
A strain Bacillus sp. GZT capable of debrominating and mineralizing 2,4,6-tribromophenol (TBP) was isolated and characterized by morphological observation, biochemical and physiological identification as well as 16S rRNA sequence analysis. Biodegradation kinetics experiments demonstrated that initial TBP concentration had a

2,4,6-Tribromophenol (TBP) is expected to exist in both ionic and non-ionic forms in the environment due to ionisation of the phenolic group at near neutral pH. In this study, the water solubility (Sw) and 1-octanol-water partition coefficient (Kow) of aqueous
