... μl of 1 M sodium bicarbonate then derived with 300 μl of 4-fluoro-3-nitrobenzo-trifluoride (FNBT) reagent (a mixture of 10 μl of FNBT and 1 ml of dimethyl sulfoxide) at 60 °C for 20 min. At the end of derivation, 40 μl of 1 M histidine in 1 M sodium bicarbonate was added to the reaction mixture ...

... iron on a large scale should actually cool the planet directly, in addition to increasing C drawdown, because all those liddle phytos release DMS (dimethyl suphide) which is a water nucleator i.e. a rainmaker. Unproductive areas are far from land (see above) and the most productive ones are where ...

... Southern Ocean...now that is interesting stuff. 02 doesnt cool the atmosphere to my knowledge, and in fact is actually not our main concern. DMS (dimethyl sulphide) does cool the atmosphere as it oxidises to sulphate and nucleates water to form cloud...and this stuff is released from phytoplankton ...

... (Table). These primers were used in a 50-µL PCR as described, except that AmpliTaq DNA polymerase (PE-ABI) was used at 1 unit per reaction, no dimethyl sulfoxide was added, 50 cycles of PCR were run with a 3-minute pre-melt at 94°C, and the annealing temperature was 55°C. To each 50-µL PCR ...

... . The literature is reviewed as supporting either view. We report, for the first time, (i) reactions of the endospores with the salt MTT (3-[4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl]-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide) and (ii) ultrastructural appearances; and suggest that both views on the nature of spherical ...
