Phosphorus in the environment is present in two forms—organic and inorganic. Scientists measure isotopes of inorganic phosphate oxygens, but there was no such method to measure isotopes of organic ...

The cycling of phosphorus (P) is a critical process in aquatic ecosystems, influencing water quality and ecosystem health. Recent research has increasingly focused on the use of oxygen isotopes in ...

They tagged the protein coating of bacteriophages with the sulfur isotope 35 S and the DNA core with the phosphorus isotope 32 P. Using a Waring blender, they agitated the viral particles and bacteria ...

Phosphorus metabolism is complex ... or depleted uranium. Natural isotopes of uranium are U-238, U235, and U-234 (see table above for natural abundances). Depleted uranium contains less of the ...
