Abstract Short term (2 days) laboratory experiments were performed to study the change in irradiance induced production of Fe(II) in seawater in the presence of two open oceanic Southern Ocean diatom species, Thalassiosira sp. and Chaetoceros brevis. Three irradiance conditions were applied: 1) UVB + UVA + VIS, 2) UVA + VIS, and 3) VIS, and Fe concentrations of 0 and 5 nM Fe were added to natural Southern Ocean seawater (containing 0.32 nM dissolved Fe and 1.69 equivalents of nM L − 1 Fe dissolved organic ligands, log K′ = 22.03). The photoproduced concentration of Fe(II) showed no relationship with the concentration of total dissolved Fe or the concentration of strongly chelated iron. During incubations with the diatoms an increase in the Fe(II) concentration during the second day suggested a modification of the Fe speciation. In the presence of Thalassiosira sp. photoreduction of Fe(III) was observed, whereas in the presence of C. brevis irradiance independent Fe(III) reduction played an important role in the Fe(II) production. Furthermore, a decrease in the strongly chelated Fe concentration, in concert with a decrease in the conditional stability constant, suggested a modification of the strongly chelated Fe fraction in the experiments with C. brevis. The chelated Fe fraction did not change in cultures with Thalassiosira sp. Overall, the presence of diatoms appeared to enhance the reactive Fe pool improving the biological availability of Fe.
The EU database of processing factors for pesticide residues has been set up in 2018 and was now updated for the first time. 1301 processing studies were added to the database extending it to more than double size. The studies were either provided to EFSA in MRL setting procedures or pesticide peer reviews or they were submitted to BfR in the framework of national or zonal authorization procedures. All studies have been thoroughly (re‐)evaluated with respect to the well‐proven set of quality parameters already applied in the EU database. Processing factors were derived and their reliabilities judged. For newly reported processes such as palm oil and palm kernel oil production, sugar production from sugar cane and sake production from rice the representative processes have been described. Furthermore, new processed matrices such as selected cooked vegetables or pulses have been added to the database and to the accompanying documents.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
