Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) showed that functional groups of EPS and Synechocystis cells, including -NH, -OH, CO, and CC, interacted with As species. Together the results of this work demonstrate that EPS have significant impacts on cell surface properties, thereby affecting As accumulation and transformation in Synechocystis…[Read more]

The skin is essential for terrestrial life. It is responsible for regulating water permeability and functions as a mechanical barrier that protects against environmental insults, such as microbial infection, ultraviolet light, injury and heat and cold, which could damage the cells of the body and compromise survival of the organism. This barrier…[Read more]
