被引用回数:175 パーセンタイル:99.54(Multidisciplinary Sciences)Phage typically have small genomes and depend on their bacterial hosts for replication. We generated metagenomic datasets from many diverse ecosystems and reconstructed hundreds of huge phage genomes, between 200 kbp and 716 kbp in length. Thirty four genomes were manually curated to completion, including the largest phage genomes yet reported. Expanded genetic repertoires include diverse and new CRISPR-Cas systems, tRNAs, tRNA synthetases, tRNA modification enzymes, initiation and elongation factors and ribosomal proteins. Phage CRISPR have the capacity to silence host transcription factors and translational genes, potentially as part of a larger interaction network that intercepts translation to redirect biosynthesis to phage-encoded functions. Some phage repurpose bacterial systems for phage-defense to eliminate competing phage. We phylogenetically define seven major clades of huge phage from human and other animal microbiomes, oceans, lakes, sediments, soils and the built environment. We conclude that large gene inventories reflect a conserved biological strategy, observed across a broad bacterial host range and resulting in the distribution of huge phage across Earth's ecosystems.

被引用回数:11 パーセンタイル:80.2(Physics, Nuclear)The aim of this work was to investigate the -decay properties of
Fr and daughter products. Neutron-deficient francium nuclei are produced at ISOLDE-CERN bombarding a UCx target with 1.4 GeV protons. Due to the very high statistics and the high beam purity, improved decay data for
Fr and its daughters were obtained. The observation of crossover transitions positioned the isomeric high-spin level of
At at an excitation energy of 265(3) keV. Half-life values of 4.47(5) s and 1.28(10) s were extracted for the ground state and isomeric state of
At and 52(3) ms for the ground-state decay of
Fr.

被引用回数:12 パーセンタイル:77.08(Physics, Nuclear)Hyperfine-structure parameters and isotope shifts for the 795-nm atomic transitions in At have been measured at CERN-ISOLDE, using the in-source resonance-ionization spectroscopy technique. Magnetic dipole and electric quadrupole moments, and changes in the nuclear mean-square charge radii, have been deduced. A large inverse odd-even staggering in radii, which may be associated with the presence of octupole collectivity, has been observed. Namely, the radius of the odd-odd isotope
At has been found to be larger than the average.

被引用回数:9 パーセンタイル:59.92(Physics, Nuclear)A nuclear-decay spectroscopy study of the neutron-deficient isotope At is reported where an isotopically pure beam was produced using the selective Resonance Ionization Laser Ion Source and On-Line Isotope Mass Separator (CERN). The fine-structure
decay of
At allowed the low-energy excited states in the daughter nucleus
Bi to be investigated. A
-delayed fission study of
At was also performed. A mixture of symmetric and asymmetric fission-fragment mass distributions of the daughter isotope
Po (populated by

被引用回数:9 パーセンタイル:56.98(Physics, Nuclear)Decay spectroscopy of Tl has been performed at the CERN Isotope Separator On-Line (ISOLDE) facility. An excitation energy of 506.1(1) keV and a half-life of 47.1(7) ms of the intruder based (10
) state have been extracted. The internal decay characteristics of this state are determined and discussed, extending the systematics of such states in the even-mass thallium nuclei below neutron midshell at N = 104. The retardation factors of the isomeric M2 and E3 transitions are deduced and compared with retardation factors in neighboring odd-mass and even-mass thallium isotopes. The new information is combined with a review of hindered and unhindered
-decay data of
Bi populating levels in daughter nuclei
Tl and supports the interpretation of the intruder character of the (10
) state in
Tl.

Zn(d,p) at REX-Isolde, CERN. The analysis reveals that the lowest excited states in

被引用回数:78 パーセンタイル:94.42(Multidisciplinary Sciences)The radioactive element astatine exists only in trace amounts in nature. Its properties can therefore only be explored by study of smallest quantities of artificially produced isotopes or by performing theoretical calculations. One of the most important properties influencing the chemical behaviour is the energy required to remove one electron from the valence shell, referred to as the ionization potential (IP). Here we use laser spectroscopy to probe the optical spectrum of astatine near the ionization threshold. The observed series of Rydberg states allowed the deduction of the IP of the astatine atom for the first time. New ab initio calculations were performed to support the experimental result. The measured value of IP(At) serves as a benchmark for quantum chemistry calculations of the properties of astatine as well as for the theoretical prediction of the ionization potential of super-heavy element 117, the heaviest homologue of astatine.

Single-neutron states in the = 49 isotope
Zn were populated in the
Zn(d,p)
Zn transfer reaction at REX-ISOLDE, CERN. The combined detection of protons ejected in the reaction and of
rays emitted by
Zn permitted the identification of the lowest-lying 5/2
and 1/2
excited states. The analysis of proton angular distributions links these states to a significant amount of single-particle strength around 1 MeV, and specifically to the
d
and
s
neutron orbits, which lie above the
= 50 neutron shell gap. Comparison with large-scale-shell-model calculations supports a robust
= 50 shell-closure for
Ni. These data constitute a considerable step towards the understanding of the magicity of
Ni and of the structure of isotopes in the region.
