Abstract Bacteria under stress increase the proportion of dormant cells to ensure their survival. Cold and osmotic stress are similar, because in both the availability of water is reduced. Glycine betaine (GB) is one of the most common osmoprotectants in bacteria and possesses cryoprotectant properties. Our aim was to determine whether GB modifies the proportion of dormant Deinococcus sp. UDEC-P1 and Psychrobacter sp. UDEC-A5 cells exposed to osmotic stress. Both bacterial strains...

Despite the fact that anionic doping has been extensively used to broaden the visible‐light absorption of metal‐oxide based photoanodes, it can also result in detrimental effects, such as the dopant acting as a charge recombination center, that shorten the charge carrier lifetime. Therefore, developing an effective strategy for intrinsically activating these dopants to improve their visible‐light absorption while elongating the carrier lifetime is crucial. Here, a N‐doped TiO2 model reveals a conceptually...
