Cesium chloride (CsCl) is a non-radioactive salt wrongly promoted and used as part of an alternative cancer treatment based on questionable research output published in the mid-eighties. Self-administered cesium can lead to various symptoms. We analyzed the complete set of published case reports of people who have taken cesium to characterize demographics, reasons for intake, clinical effects, reported symptoms, pathophysiolog...

Commercial production of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) from photoautotrophic microalgae like Nannochloropsis oceanica requires higher productivity and larger scales to reduce costs. Improving productivity can be achieved by increasing biomass concentrations, which creates light gradients in the reactor depending on the culture’s acclimation and the reactor geometry. These light gradients affect physiology, lipid synthesis, but a...

Large areas of the oceanic shelf are composed of sandy sediments through which reactive solutes are transported via porewater advection fueling active microbial communities. The advective oxygen transport in permeable sands of the North Sea was investigated under in situ conditions using a new benthic observatory to assess the dynamic interaction of hydrodynamics, sediment morphodynamics, and oxygen penetration depth. During 1...

Summary Anaerobic ammonium‐oxidizing (anammox) bacteria are responsible for a significant portion of the loss of fixed nitrogen from the oceans, making them important players in the global nitrogen cycle. To date, marine anammox bacteria found in marine water columns and sediments worldwide belong almost exclusively to the ‘ Candidatus Scalindua’ species, but the molecular basis of their metabolism and competitive fitness is p...

In recent years, increased awareness of the potential interactions between rising atmospheric CO 2 concentrations ([ CO 2 ]) and temperature has illustrated the importance of multifactorial ecosystem manipulation experiments for validating Earth System models. To address the urgent need for increased understanding of responses in multifactorial experiments, this article synthesizes how ecosystem productivity and soil processes...
