Summary: Recent studies suggest that aluminum (Al) plays a role in the ocean carbon cycle by affecting the carbon fixation and decomposition of marine organisms. This study investigates the influence of Al on carbon fixation and decomposition in Trichodesmium cyanobacteria. The results show that Al enhances carbon fixation in Trichodesmium, but also accelerates its decomposition. Additionally, Al from sediment may slow down the decomposition rate of decaying Trichodesmium.

Summary: The study showed that the use of CAP stabilizer in the H2O2 treatment with two exogenous iron species can extend the lifetime of H2O2 in soil and enhance diesel removal efficiency. Specifically, the diesel removal efficiency in the IC based process was significantly higher than that in the IB based process.

Summary: Arabidopsis plants exposed to kanamycin show altered metal homeostasis, and mutation of the WBC19 gene leads to increased sensitivity to kanamycin and changes in iron and zinc uptake. A dynamic compartment model was constructed based on a transport and interaction diagram and was parameterized using experimental time series data. The model provides novel insights into metal homeostasis and explains differences in data from wildtype, mutants, and kanamycin inhibition experiments.

Summary: Repeat measurements of nutrients along the eastern Arabian Sea (EAS) in 2018-19 revealed nitrogen as the major limiting nutrient controlling primary production. The depth of nitracline (DNO3) was positively correlated with the upper boundary of thermocline (D26). Mixed layer nutrient availability varied with DNO3/D26, leading to low N/P ratios during nutrient enrichment events.

Summary: This study found that djulis hull (DH) has positive effects on iron metabolism in obese rats, increasing serum and hepatic iron levels while decreasing appetite hormones, body weight, hepcidin, and liver inflammation. DH can downregulate hepatic hepcidin through the IL-6-JAK-STAT3 pathway and enhance ferroportin via the Keap1-Nrf2 and PHD2-HIF-2 alpha pathways.

Summary: Endolysosomes play a crucial role in iron metabolism and redox signaling. This study quantitatively measured the levels of ferrous iron (Fe2+) in endolysosomes and investigated its effects on endolysosome morphology, distribution and function. The findings suggest that the fluorescence dye FeRhoNox-1 is a useful probe for studying endolysosome Fe2+, and further research is needed to better understand the physiological and pathological significance of endolysosomes with different iron content.

Summary: This study investigated the activity, abundance, and community composition of diazotrophs in groundwater in the Hetao Plain of Inner Mongolia. The results showed that biological nitrogen fixation is an important source of nitrogen in this region's groundwater, and active diazotrophs are closely associated with factors such as dissolved oxygen, ammonia, and iron ions.

Summary: The presence of Enterobacter sp. E1 significantly affects the accumulation of arsenic in Pteris vittata by promoting plant growth and dissolving soil arsenic. The strain E1 increases the water-soluble and exchangeable arsenic while reducing the Fe-bound arsenic in the soil. Additionally, the strain E1 has a positive effect on microbial diversity and soil enzymatic activities with low ecological risks.

Summary: Iron is essential for life and its acquisition by unicellular pathogens through siderophores is crucial for virulence. Ferric reductases play a key role in reducing Fe3+ to Fe2+ for uptake, but remain poorly understood, highlighting the important connection between Fe3+ reduction and Fe2+ transport.

Summary: This study evaluated current hypotheses of iron acquisition by higher plants quantitatively. The results showed that all plants growing in aerated soils could suffer from extreme iron deficiencies. The rate of ligand excretion is a key parameter in the process of soil iron hydroxide dissolution by organic ligands for iron acquisition by plants.

Summary: By studying the iron sources in a heavily glaciated western Antarctic Peninsula fjord, it is revealed that surface glacial melt and subglacial plumes contribute to the seasonal cycle of iron and manganese within the environment. The study also shows that organic ligands derived from phytoplankton and glaciers play a role in the dispersion of dissolved and particulate iron downstream, while buoyant plumes enriched in labile particulate trace metals supply iron to the fjord euphotic zone. Additionally, prolonged katabatic wind events enhance the export of meltwater out of the fjord, indicating an important atmosphere-ice-ocean coupling in coastal iron biogeochemistry and primary productivity along the WAP.
