    Climate and the collapse of Maya civilization (2003)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2003-03-15
    Description: In the anoxic Cariaco Basin of the southern Caribbean, the bulk titanium content of undisturbed sediment reflects variations in riverine input and the hydrological cycle over northern tropical South America. A seasonally resolved record of titanium shows that the collapse of Maya civilization in the Terminal Classic Period occurred during an extended regional dry period, punctuated by more intense multiyear droughts centered at approximately 810, 860, and 910 A.D. These new data suggest that a century-scale decline in rainfall put a general strain on resources in the region, which was then exacerbated by abrupt drought events, contributing to the social stresses that led to the Maya demise.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Haug, Gerald H -- Gunther, Detlef -- Peterson, Larry C -- Sigman, Daniel M -- Hughen, Konrad A -- Aeschlimann, Beat -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2003 Mar 14;299(5613):1731-5.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Earth Sciences, ETH, CH-8092 Zurich, Switzerland. haug@gfz-potsdam.de〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12637744" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    GFAJ-1 is an arsenate-resistant, phosphate-dependent organism (2012)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2012-07-10
    Description: The bacterial isolate GFAJ-1 has been proposed to substitute arsenic for phosphorus to sustain growth. We have shown that GFAJ-1 is able to grow at low phosphate concentrations (1.7 muM), even in the presence of high concentrations of arsenate (40 mM), but lacks the ability to grow in phosphorus-depleted (〈0.3 muM), arsenate-containing medium. High-resolution mass spectrometry analyses revealed that phosphorylated central metabolites and phosphorylated nucleic acids predominated. A few arsenylated compounds, including C6 sugar arsenates, were detected in extracts of GFAJ-1, when GFAJ-1 was incubated with arsenate, but further experiments showed they formed abiotically. Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry confirmed the presence of phosphorus in nucleic acid extracts, while arsenic could not be detected and was below 1 per mil relative to phosphorus. Taken together, we conclude that GFAJ-1 is an arsenate-resistant, but still a phosphate-dependent, bacterium.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Erb, Tobias J -- Kiefer, Patrick -- Hattendorf, Bodo -- Gunther, Detlef -- Vorholt, Julia A -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2012 Jul 27;337(6093):467-70. doi: 10.1126/science.1218455.
