Iron chelates analogous to o,o-EDDHA/Fe(3+) are the fertilizers chosen to treat iron chlorosis in plants growing on calcareous soil. The isomer o,p-EDDHA/Fe(3+) presents less stability but faster assimilation by the plant than o,o-EDDHA/Fe(3+), because only five coordinating groups are able

It has been theorized for decades that mitochondria act as the biological clock of ageing, but the evidence is incomplete. Here we show a strong coupling between mitochondrial function and ageing by in vivo visualization of the mitochondrial flash (mitoflash)

Oxalate catabolism is conducted by phylogenetically diverse organisms, including Methylobacterium extorquens AM1. Here, we investigate the central metabolism of this alphaproteobacterium during growth on oxalate by using proteomics, mutant characterization, and (13)C-labeling experiments. Our results confirm that energy conservation proceeds

Perturbations in glyoxylate metabolism lead to the accumulation of oxalate and give rise to primary hyperoxalurias, recessive disorders characterized by kidney stone disease. Loss-of-function mutations in HOGA1 (formerly DHDPSL) are responsible for primary hyperoxaluria type III. HOGA1 is a mitochondrial
