<I>Cynobacteria Synechococcus</I> Sp. PCC 7002 Culture Iron Acquisition in Cynobacteria Synechococcus sp. PCC 7002 Culture Ayten Pehlivan Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry Submission date: May 2018 Supervisor: Murat Van Ardelan, IKJ Co-supervisor: Martin.F Hohmann-Marriott, IKJ Norwegian University of Science and Technology Department of Chemistry Abstract Iron is an essential micronutrient for the growth and health of phytoplankton and low overall iron concentrations in the High Nutrient Low Chlorophyll (HNLC) zones in the ocean have been reported. Cyanobacteria is one of the most important organism involved in primary productivity and iron-limitation could indirectly affect the global carbon cycle and CO2 sequestration. This project aims to study the influence of the type of iron mineral and iron acquisition mechanism efficiency in Cyanobacteria. Two incubation experiments were carried out using a tropical strain of Synechococcus sp. PCC 7002 at room temperature (25 °C). Two different forms of Fe were used in cultures with different solubilities; one culture was added with 50 nM FeCl3 (74.4 g/100 mL) and the other culture was added with 50 nM Goethite (FeO(OH)) (HCl soluble), respectively. Biological parameters such as growth and chlorophyll a concentration as well as particulate and intracellular Fe were analysed. Growth of Synechococcus sp. PCC 7002 was significantly slow in both cultures regardless of Fe concentrations which was predicted to be due to cells already being in stationary phase during the sampling period. High particulate and intracellular Fe were detected in FeCl3 culture and no physiological stress response was observed. On the other hand, cells grown in FeO(OH), had less particulate and intracellular Fe however, the days where intracellular Fe was recorded, the Fe concentration was high. Overall, this study suggests that FeCl3 is more available to cells than the less soluble goethite FeO(OH) and the cells grown in FeO(OH) culture are able to utilise the particulate Fe via PilA1 mechanism. However, future work must be carried out in order to conclude the experiment. iii iv Acknowledgements I would like to thank my supervisor, Professor Murat, for the opportunity to work on this project. I would also like to thank Annie Vera Hunnestad for being very helpful and supportive throughout this project, and for teaching me a lot of useful skills.

    (c) Bürkle GmbH 2010 Important Important information The tables “Chemical resistance of plastics”, “Plastics and their properties” and “Viscosity of liquids" as well as the information about chemical resistance given in the particular product descriptions have been drawn up based on information provided by various raw material manufacturers. These values are based solely on laboratory tests with raw materials. Plastic components produced from these raw materials are frequently subject to influences that cannot be recognized in laboratory tests (temperature, pressure, material stress, effects of chemicals, construction features, etc.). For this reason the values given are only to be regarded as being guidelines. In critical cases it is essential that a test is carried out first.

  • Résistance Chimique Des Plastiques », « Plastique Et Ses Propriétés » Et « Viscosité Des Liquides »
    (c) Bürkle GmbH 2010 Importantes Informations Importantes Les tableaux « Résistance chimique des plastiques », « Plastique et ses propriétés » et « Viscosité des liquides ». ainsi que les informations au sujet de la résistance chimique donnée dans les descriptions de produit ont été élaborées à partir des informations fournies par différents fabricants de matières premières. Ces valeurs sont basées uniquement sur des essais en laboratoire avec des matières premières. Les composants en plastique déjà produisaient à partir de ces matières premières sont souvent soumis à des influences qui ne peuvent pas être reconnus dans les tests de laboratoire (température, pression, contrainte matérielle, les effets des produits chimiques, les caractéristiques de construction, etc.) Pour cette raison, les valeurs données doivent seulement être considérées comme des orientations. Dans les cas critiques, il est essentiel que le test soit effectué en premier. Aucune réclamation légal, ne peut pas être dérivé de cette information, ni nous n’avons pas la responsabilité pour cet-là. A la connaissance de la résistance chimique et mécanique seule n'est pas suffisante pour l'évaluation de l'utilisabilité d'un produit. Par exemple, la réglementation concernant les liquides inflammables (Prévention de l'explosion) doivent également être prises en considération.

  • Risks of Iron Supplements S
    Review Article Risks of iron supplements S. Umadevi*, A. Mohamed Akram, K. Mugesh, R. Mukilan ABSTRACT Iron is a vital mineral that is included in many over the counter multivitamin and mineral supplements and is used therapeutically in higher doses to treat or prevent iron deficiency anemia. When taken at the usual recommended daily doses or in replacement doses, iron has little or no adverse effect on the liver. However, in high doses or accidental overdoses, iron causes severe toxicities. Today different types of iron supplements are available in the market without mentioning the individual compound. These supplements are based on at least 20 different iron compounds and sold under a wide range of brands. Iron supplements are good for women and children, but when we focus on individual compound, not all supplements are created equal potency, as some compounds may actually do more harm than good. From the recent research, it was found that two iron compounds, ferric citrate and ferric ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid are often used in dietary supplements and as a food additive, respectively, in worldwide markets can increase the biomarkers for colon cancer, suggesting a link to the death toll. This review reports the cautious of iron supplements and serious disorders of an overdose of ionic compounds. KEY WORDS: Amphiregulin, Ferric citrate, Ferric ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, Ferritin, Iron overload INTRODUCTION used, iron will enhance immunity, and it provides anticarcinogenic and cognition-enhancing activities.[1] Iron is a metallic element which is present in most of soils, mineral waters, and certain minerals. Iron The majority of the iron that is required for the body is an essential mineral that is compulsory for life.
