Alginate is a major constituent of mature biofilms produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The penultimate step in the biosynthesis of alginate is the conversion of some beta-D-mannuronate residues in the polymeric substrate polymannuronan to alpha-L-guluronate residues in a reaction catalyzed by C5-mannuronan epimerase.…

In this paper, we report the preparation of one-dimensional (1D) nanostructures from layered compounds (2D). γ-MnOOH nanorods were successfully prepared from platelike layered Na-birnessite by simple hydro(solvo)thermal treatment at low temperature. It was observed that the reaction medium plays an important role in t…

We measured the temperature-dependent photoluminescence (PL) decay time of the mixed system of free exciton (FX) and donor-bound exciton (DX0) in a ZnO thin film. From the measured cw PL spectra, we also calibrated the individual spectral widths and integrated PL intensities of FX and DX0 by fitting the spectra with f…

The phase stability of polycrystalline BiFeO3−δ (BFO) was measured using coulometric titration in the technologically important temperature range for growth of epitaxial thin films, 680°C–800°C. BFO exhibits only a very narrow oxygen nonstoichiometry, i.e., δ<0.01. For the most nonstoichiometric sample obtainab…

Initial attempts to prepare new Ln-Cd-Te-O-Cl compounds led to the isolation of two novel cadmium tellurium(IV) oxychlorides with two different types of structures, namely, [Cd(2)(Te(6)O(13))][Cd(2)Cl(6)] and Cd(7)Cl(8)(Te(7)O(17)). Both compounds feature novel polymeric tellurium(IV) oxide anions and unusual cadmium…

Using self-consistent field theory, we examine the stability of a lamellar layer of diblock copolymer subject to strong orthogonal electric fields. Two competing instabilities are identified; one is a peristaltic mode that leads to perpendicular lamellae, and the other is an undulatory mode that results in the formati…
