MICROFACIES ANALYSIS OF EOCENE ZIARAT FORMATION (EASTERN ALBORZ ZONE, NE IRAN) AND PALEOENVIRONMENTAL IMPLICATIONS

Microfacies analysis of Eocene Ziarat Formation (eastern Alborz zone, NE Iran) and paleoenvironmental implications

Despite belonging to an important time slice in the geological history, the Eocene shallow-marine beds of the Alborz region in Iran have received little attention from researchers.We selected two stratigraphic sections (Mojen and Kalateh) ascribed to the Ziarat Formation as suitable representatives for the current analysis, emphasising on their con

A conserved transcription factor controls gluconeogenesis via distinct targets in hypersaline-adapted archaea with diverse metabolic capabilities.

Timely regulation of carbon metabolic pathways is essential for cellular processes and to prevent futile cycling of intracellular metabolites.In Halobacterium salinarum, a hypersaline adapted archaeon, a sugar-sensing TrmB family protein controls gluconeogenesis and other biosynthetic pathways.Notably, Hbt.salinarum does not utilize carbohydrates f
