Effects of Alkyl Spacer Length in Carbazole‐Based Self‐Assembled Monolayer Materials on Molecular Conformation and Organic Solar Cell Performance by Qiaonan Chen, Kangbo Sun, Leandro R. Franco, Jingnan Wu, Lars Öhrström, Xianjie Liu, Maureen Gumbo, Mailde S. Ozório, C. Moyses Araujo, Guangye Zhang, André Johansson, Ellen Moons, Mats Fahlman, Donghong Yu, Yufei Wang, Ergang Wang

“…To improve the knowledge, four dichloride‐substituted carbazole‐based SAMs (from 2Cl‐2PACz to 2Cl‐5PACz) with spacer lengths of 2–5 carbon atoms is developed. Single crystal analyses reveal that SAMs with shorter spacers exhibit stronger intermolecular interactions and denser packing. …”

Transcriptional profiles of Microcystis reveal gene expression shifts that promote bloom persistence in in situ mesocosms by Lauren E. Krausfeldt, Paisley S. Samuel, Robert P. Smith, Hidetoshi Urakawa, Barry H. Rosen, Rita R. Colwell, Jose V. Lopez

“…The addition of urea initially resulted in the upregulation of photosynthesis machinery, as well as phosphate, carbon, and N transport and metabolism. Once Microcystis presumably became N-replete, upregulation of amino acid metabolism, microcystin biosynthesis, and other processes associated with biomass generation occurred. …”
