A hallmark of animals is the coordination of whole-body movement. Neurons and muscles are central to this; yet, coordinated movements also exist in sponges that lack these cell types. Sponges are sessile animals with a complex canal system for filter-feeding. They undergo whole-body movements res...
Direct infusion mass spectrometry (DI-MS) offers a rapid, high-throughput analysis and, compared to liquid chromatography MS (LC-MS), a different analytical window into the composition of complex biological samples. However, the lack of chromatographic separation in DI-MS results in highly comple...
AIM: Low-molecular-weight organic substances (LMWOSs) are at the nexus between micro-organisms, plant roots, detritus and the soil mineral matrix. The nominal oxidation state of carbon (NOSC) has been suggested as a potential parameter for modelling microbial uptake rates of LMWO...
