Selective uptake of alkaline earth metals by cyanobacteria forming intracellular carbonates

Nithavong Cam, Karim Benzerara, Thomas Georgelin, Maguy Jaber, Jean-Francois Lambert, Melanie Poinsot, Feriel Skouri-Panet, Laure Cordier

The uptakes of Ca, Sr and Ba by two cyanobacterial strains, Cyanothece sp. PCC7425 and Gloeomargarita lithophora, both forming intracellular carbonates, were investigated in laboratory cultures. In the culture medium BG 11 amended with 250 μM of Ca and 50 or 250 μM of Sr and Ba, G. lithophora…

In vitro synthesis of amorphous Mg-, Ca-, Sr- and Ba-carbonates: what do we learn about intracellular calcification by cyanobacteria?

Nithavong Cam, Thomas Georgelin, Maguy Jaber, Jean-François Lambert, Karim Benzerara

Some cyanobacteria, including Candidatus Gloeomargarita lithophora, which was isolated from Lake Alchichica (Mexico), can form intracellular carbonates. This contradicts the common paradigm that cyanobacterial calcification is always extracellular and suggests that calcification might be controlled…

Orange Carotenoid Protein in Mesoporous Silica: A New System towards the Development of Colorimetric and Fluorescent Sensors for pH and Temperature

Silvia Leccese, Andrea Calcinoni, Adjélé Wilson, Diana Kirilovsky, Donatella Carbonera, Thomas Onfroy, Claude Jolivalt, Alberto Mezzetti

Orange carotenoid protein (OCP) is a photochromic carotenoprotein involved in the photoprotection of cyanobacteria. It is activated by blue-green light to a red form OCPR capable of dissipating the excess of energy of the cyanobacterial photosynthetic light-harvesting systems. Activation to OCPR…

Influence of natural adsorbates of magnesium oxide on its reactivity in basic catalysis

Damien Cornu, Hugo Petitjean, Guylène Costentin, Hazar Guesmi, Jean-Marc Krafft, Hélène Lauron-Pernot

Solid materials possessing basic properties are naturally covered by carbonates and hydroxyl groups. Those natural adsorbates modify their chemical reactivity. This article aims to specifically evidence the role of surface carbonates and hydroxyls in basic heterogeneous catalysis on MgO. It…

Influence of acid–base properties of Mg-based catalysts on transesterification: role of magnesium silicate hydrate formation

Damien Cornu, Longfei Lin, Maya Mounir Daou, Maguy Jaber, Jean-Marc Krafft, Virginie Herledan, Guillaume Laugel, Yannick Millot, Hélène Lauron-Pernot

The transesterification reaction assisted through heterogeneous basic catalysis was thoroughly studied because of its importance in transforming biomass, as for biodiesel production or lactone opening. As catalysts with the strongest basic properties are not always the most efficient ones, a series…

Surface orientation dependent interaction of cobalt (II) precursors with alpha-alumina

Céline Chizallet, Christian Schlaup, Emiliano Fonda, Xavier Carrier

The performances of alumina-supported cobalt catalysts strongly depend on Co/alumina interactions, that are poorly understood. In the present work, α-alumina surfaces are used as models of polycrystalline support, to unravel their orientation dependent behavior by GI-EXAFS. The CoII/α-alumina…

Laboratory simulation to support the search for organic molecules at the surface of Mars

Olivier Poch, Cyril Szopa, Patrice Coll, Maguy Jaber, Thomas Georgelin, Jean-Francois Lambert, Fabien Stalport

The search for organic carbon at the surface of Mars, as clues of past habitability or remnants of life, is a major science goal of Mars’ exploration. Understanding the chemical evolution of organic molecules under current Martian environmental conditions is essential to support the analyses…

In situ observation of atomic redistribution in alloying gold-silver nanorods

Jessi E S van Der Hoeven, Tom a J Welling, Tiago a G da Silva, Jeroen E van den Reijen, Camille La Fontaine, Xavier Carrier, Catherine Louis, Alfons van Blaaderen, Petra E de Jongh

The catalytic performance and optical properties of bimetallic nanoparticles critically depend on the atomic distribution of the two metals in the nanoparticles. However, at elevated temperatures, during light induced heating or during catalysis atomic redistribution can occur. Measuring such metal…
