¹³C metabolic flux analysis identifies an unusual route for pyruvate dissimilation in mycobacteria which requires isocitrate lyase and carbon dioxide fixation. by Dany J V Beste, Bhushan Bonde, Nathaniel Hawkins, Jane L Ward, Michael H Beale, Stephan Noack, Katharina Nöh, Nicholas J Kruger, R George Ratcliffe, Johnjoe McFadden

“…Here we show that deletion of one of the two icl genes impairs the replication of Mycobacterium bovis BCG at slow growth rate in a carbon limited chemostat. In order to further understand the role of isocitrate lyase in the central metabolism of mycobacteria the effect of growth rate on the in vivo fluxes was studied for the first time using ¹³C-metabolic flux analysis (MFA). …”

Research on the disintegration characteristics of fissured loess under water–vibration coupling effect by Tao Lei, Jiading Wang, Shaotong Jiao

“…To reveal the disaster mechanisms, this study conducted water-vibration coupled disintegration tests on fissured loess using the self-developed EDS-600 vibration disintegration apparatus, based on the measured dominant vibration frequencies (12–46 Hz) of the Lanzhou-Qinghai Railway. The influence patterns of vibration frequency (f) and fissure type (t) on disintegration rate (S), disintegration velocity (V), and disintegration velocity growth rate ( $$\alpha_{f - t}$$ ) were systematically investigated, with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) employed to uncover microstructural evolution mechanisms. …”
