Ferrichrome, a fungal-type siderophore, confers high ammonium tolerance to fission yeast by Po-Chang Chiu, Yuri Nakamura, Shinichi Nishimura, Toshitsugu Tabuchi, Yoko Yashiroda, Go Hirai, Akihisa Matsuyama, Minoru Yoshida

“…Additionally, growth retardation of wild-type cells by excess ammonium was exacerbated by deleting the NRPS gene sib1, which is responsible for the biosynthesis of ferrichrome, suggesting that intrinsically produced ferrichrome functions in suppressing the metabolic action of ammonium. Furthermore, ferrichrome facilitated the growth of both wild-type and sib1-deficient cells under low glucose conditions. …”

New linearization and reweighting for simulations of string sigma-model on the lattice by L. Bianchi, V. Forini, B. Leder, P. Töpfer, E. Vescovi

“…To face these problems, simulations are conducted using the absolute value of a fermionic Pfaffian obtained introducing a small twisted-mass term, acting as an infrared regulator, into the action. The sign of the Pfaffian and the low modes of the quadratic fermionic operator are then taken into account by a reweighting procedure of which we discuss the impact on the measurement of the observables. …”
