Moonlighting Arabidopsis molybdate transporter 2 family and GSH-complex formation aid molybdenum homeostasis

https://www.nature.com/articles/s42003-023-05161-x

Scientists identified a secondary molybdenum (Mo) transporter in Arabidopsis assisting in Mo distribution—an essential plant micronutrient. They also found a glutathione-molybdate complex that ensures storage stability in plants, advancing the understanding of molybdenum philosophy in flora. 🌱

Molybdenum: atomic number: 42; weight: 95.95; Transition metal; discovery: 1778,1781—Carl Wilhelm Scheele, Peter Jacob Hjelm #Poetry #Science #History #Molybdenum (https://sharpgiving.com/thebookofscience/items/e042.html)

Based on a nanosystem, the core of which is #polyoxometalate (containing #molybdenum and iron). A broad-spectrum #antibiotic, #tetracycline, is attached to the surface of the polyoxometalate.

By way, I chose #steel electrodes on purpose.

#Graphite is made of carbon, which is counter to my goal of fixing carbon from #co2.

#Copper is inherently antimicrobial.

#Brass is mostly copper.

#Titanium and #molybdenum are microbe friendly according to this paper https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0960308518303109 but they're rare and expensive.

Raw #iron would probably have been better, since steel has a lot of carbon in it. But I don't have raw iron on hand, and I don't want to deal with a lot of corrosion.

FSU researchers find decrease in crucial trace element preceded ancient #MassExtinction

A decline in the element #molybdenum across the planet’s oceans preceded a significant extinction event approximately 183 million years ago, new research from Florida State University shows.

The decrease may have contributed to the mass extinction, in which up to 90% of species in the #oceans perished, and it suggests that much more #OrganicCarbon was buried in the extinction event than had been previously estimated.
