Evidence of anoxic methane oxidation coupled to denitrification.

Denitrification using methane as sole electron donor under anoxic condition was investigated. Sludge produced by a denitrifying reactor using acetate as electron donor was put in contact with methane at partial pressures from 1.8 to 35.7kPa. Nitrate depletion and gaseous nitrogen production were measured. The denitrification rate was independent of the methane partial pressure when superior or equal to 8.8kPa. The nitrate depletion was asymptotic. A denitrification rate of 0.25g NO(3)(-)-Ng(-1) VSSd(-1) was observed at the onset of culturing, followed by a slower and lineal denitrification rate of 4.9x10(-3)g NO(3)(-)-Ng(-1) VSSd(-1). Abiotic nitrate removal or the availability of another carbon source were discarded from control experiments made in the absence of methane or using sterilized inoculum.

Atmospheric pressure gas-phase H/D exchange of serine octamers.

The recently discovered homochiral serine octamer has been a focus of interest because of its possible implications for the origin of homochirality in living systems. Electrospray ionization (ESI) and sonic spray ionization (SSI) tandem mass spectrometry have been used to generate this unusually stable magic number cluster. Several structures have been suggested for the serine octamer, based on tandem mass spectrometry, ion mobility measurements, and quantum mechanical calculations. We now report experimental hydrogen/deuterium (H/D) exchange data, which demonstrate the existence of two different structures for the serine octamer. These forms undergo exchange at significantly different rates. One form may correspond to solution-phase assembled clusters and the other to octamers formed during the ionization process. Experiments done at higher resolution confirm that the experimental observations made here apply to the serine octamer without interference from metaclusters, namely, higher order clusters (Ser(16) + 2H)(+2), etc., the (12)C isotopes of which have mass-to-charge ratios identical to the protonated octamers. H/D exchange of racemic serine shows predominantly the extensively exchanged ion population, as well as providing evidence that racemic serine generates abundant metaclusters. The evidence presented here shows that one type of serine octamer is responsible for the strong chiral effects associated with the formation of these magic number clusters. These slowly exchanging more fragile clusters are the octamers that might have played a role in homochirogenesis.

Stability studies of propoxur herbicide in environmental water samples by liquid chromatography-atmospheric pressure chemical ionization ion-trap mass spectrometry.

Liquid chromatography-atmospheric pressure ionization ion-trap mass spectrometry has been investigated for the analysis of polar pesticides in water. The degradation behavior of propoxur, selected as a model pesticide belonging to the N-methylcarbamate group, in various aqueous matrices (Milli-Q water, drinking water, rain water, seawater and river water) was investigated. Two interfaces of atmospheric pressure ionization, atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) and electrospray ionization (ESI), were compared during the study. Propoxur and its transformation product (N-methylformamide) were best ionized as positive ions with both APCI and ESI, while another transformation product (2-isopropoxyphenol) yielded stronger signals as negative ions only with APCI. In addition, the effects of various pH, matrix type and irradiation sources (sunlight, darkness, indoor lighting and artificial UV lamp) on the chemical degradation (hydrolysis) were also assessed. From the kinetic studies of degradation, it was found that the half-life of propoxur was reduced from 327 to 161 h in Milli-Q water with variation of irradiation conditions from dark to sunlight exposure. Degradation rates largely increased with increasing pH. The half-life of the target compound dissolved in Milli-Q water under darkness decreased from 407 to 3 h when the pH of Milli-Q water was increased from 5 to 8.5. These suggest that hydrolysis of propoxur is light-intensity and pH-dependent. In order to mimic contaminated natural environmental waters, propoxur was spiked into real water samples at 30 microg/l. The degradation of propoxur in such water samples under various conditions were studied in detail and compared. With the ion trap run in a time-scheduled single ion monitoring mode, typical limits of detection of the instrument were in the range of 1-10 microg/l.
