BRILLIANT REVIEW OF CALCIFICATION. "The absolute minimum energy cost for the conversion of 1 mol CO2 to carbohydrate is 8.43 mol of absorbed photons (400−700 nm), assuming that the additional ATP needed in addition to that produced in non-cyclic photophosphorylation comes from cyclic photophosphorylation. Considerations of reductive assimilation of nitrate and sulphate, and ATP use in nutrient transport, biosynthesis and maintenance gives a total cost of photosynthetic growth of at least 15.5 mol photons per mol CO2." https://lnkd.in/e2i9eMi View in LinkedIn

EPIGENETICS. "Today, a wide variety of illnesses, behaviors, and other health indicators already have some level of evidence linking them with epigenetic mechanisms, including cancers of almost all types, cognitive dysfunction, and respiratory, cardiovascular, reproductive, autoimmune, and neurobehavioral illnesses." https://lnkd.in/evZabC3 View in LinkedIn

HOLO- AND HETRO. "Two distinct classes of coccoliths have been identified. Holococcoliths are simple single-crystalline structures, while heterococcoliths are more complex multi-component structures. Current evidence suggests that holococcoliths are formed on the external cell surface while heterococcoliths are produced in intracellular compartments (coccolith vesicle)." https://lnkd.in/eXTtntg View in LinkedIn

ACUTE COMMUNICATION. "The microbiological community is exposed to a broad range of chemical substances in which an incredible variety of chemical messenger substances is embedded, from which they must be able to take up and interpret the correct ones in order to survive. It is very difficult to imagine how bacteria can differentiate between sense and nonsense in their chemical environment, in which they are constantly bombarded from all sides by small molecules." https://lnkd.in/eDswHmC View in LinkedIn

NEW INFO #6. "If we look at the flexible and dynamic expansion of information processes through epigenetic programming and reprogramming, alternative splicing and RNA-editing, we must confess today that investigations of the genomic contents of organisms with the molecular biology tools of the last 5 decades have yielded more questions than answers." https://lnkd.in/eUYvi8e View in LinkedIn

VIRUSES AND EVOLUTION. "A significant part of the human genome turns out to consist of viral genes and it is beginning to look as though the ability of viruses to transfer genes to and from their hosts and each other — so spreading genes throughout the biological world — may have been an important factor in the evolution of species." https://lnkd.in/eD4R5hH View in LinkedIn
