Journal ArticleDOI
Pulmonary surfactant-associated protein A enhances the surface activity of lipid extract surfactant and reverses inhibition by blood proteins in vitro.
TL;DR: Although a monolayer of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine, the major component of pulmonary surfactant, is thought to be responsible for the reduction of the surface tension at the air-liquid interface of the alveolus, the participation of unsaturated and anionic phospholipids and the three surfactants-associated proteins is suggested in the generation and maintenance of this surface-active monolayers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Determining diversity of freshwater fungi on decaying leaves: comparison of traditional and molecular approaches.
TL;DR: Leaf disks from red maple, alder, linden, beech, and oak as well as birch wood sticks were submerged in a stream in southeastern Canada for 7, 14, and 28 days, and it was suggested that both species richness and community evenness decreased with time.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pulmonary SP-A enhances adsorption and appears to induce surface sorting of lipid extract surfactant.
TL;DR: The results indicate that SP-A enhances phospholipid adsorption during dynamic cycling and may enhance elimination of non-DPPC lipids during cycling.
Journal ArticleDOI
Flux capacities and acclimation costs in Trichodesmium from the Gulf of Mexico

TL;DR: Levels of measured complexes indicate that Trichodesmium manifests n-type diel light acclimation through rapid changes in RuBisCO:PSII, supported by significant investment of cellular nitrogen.
Journal ArticleDOI
Distinctive photosystem II photoinactivation and protein dynamics in marine diatoms.
TL;DR: The small diatom Thalassiosira pseudonana initially responds to increased photoinactivation under blue or white light with rapid acceleration of the photosystem II (PSII) repair cycle as mentioned in this paper.
