X-ray fluorescence and XANES spectroscopy revealed diverse potassium chemistries and colocalization with phosphorus in the ectomycorrhizal fungus Paxillus ammoniavirescens

Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi play a major role in forest ecosystems and managed tree plantations. Particularly, they facilitate mineral weathering and nutrient transfer towards colonized roots. Among nutrients provided by these fungi, potassium (K) has been understudied compared to phosphorus (P) or nitrogen (N). The ECM fungus Paxillus ammoniavirescens is a generalist species that interacts with the root of many trees and can directly transfer K to them, including loblolly pine. However, the forms of K that ECM fungi can store is still unknown. Here, we used synchrotron potassium X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and K-edge X-ray Absorption Near Edge Structure (XANES) spectroscopy on P. ammoniavirescens growing in axenic conditions to investigate the K chemistries accumulating in the center and the edge of the mycelium. We observed that various K forms accumulated in different part of the mycelium, including K-nitrate (KNO 3 ), K-C-O compounds (such as K-tartrate K 2 (C 4 H 4 O 6 ) and K-oxalate (K 2 C 2 O 4 )), K-S and K-P compounds. Saprotrophic fungi have been shown to excrete carboxylic acids, which in turn play a role in soil mineral weathering. Our finding of several K counter-ions to carboxylic acids may suggest that, besides their direct transfer to colonized roots, K ions can also be involved in the production of compounds necessary for sourcing nutrients from their surrounding environment by ECM fungi. Additionally, this work reveals that XANES spectroscopy can be used to identify the various forms of K accumulating in biological systems.

Thermoelastic properties of tungsten at simultaneous high pressure and temperature

In this work, the compressional ( P ) and shear wave velocities ( S ) and unit cell volumes (densities) of polycrystalline tungsten (W) have been measured simultaneously up to 10.5 GPa and 1073 K using ultrasonic interferometry in conjunction with x-ray diffraction and x-radiography techniques. Thermoelastic properties of W were derived using different methods. We obtained the isothermal bulk modulus K T 0 = 310.3(1.5) GPa, its pressure derivative K ' T 0 = 4.4(3), its temperature derivative at constant pressure ( ∂ K T / ∂ T ) P = – 0.0138 ( 1 ) GPa K – 1 and at constant volume ( ∂ K T / ∂ T ) V = – 0.0050 GPa K – 1 , the thermal expansion α ( 0, T ) = 1.02(27) × 10 –5 + 7.39(3.2) × 10 –9 T (K –1 ), as well as the pressure derivative of thermal expansion ( ∂ α / ∂ P ) T = – 1.44 ( 1 ) × 10 – 7 K – 1 GP a – 1 based on the high-temperature Birch–Murnaghan equation of state (EOS), the Vinet EOS, and thermal pressure approach. Finite strain analysis allowed us to derive the elastic properties and their pressure/temperature derivatives independent of the choice of pressure scale. A least-squares fitting yielded K S 0 = 314.5(2.5) GPa, K S 0 ' = 4.45(9), (∂ K S /∂ T ) P = – 0.0076(6) GPa K –1 , G 0 = 162.4(9) GPa, G 0 ' = 1.8(1), (∂ G /∂ T ) P = – 0.0175(9) GPa K –1 , and α 298 K = 1.23 × 10 – 5 K – 1 . Fitting current data to the Mie–Grüneisen–Debye EOS with derived θ 0 = 383.4 K yielded γ 0 = 1.81 ( 6 ) and q = 0.3 . The thermoelastic parameters obtained from various approaches are consistent with one another and comparable with previous results within uncertainties. Our current study provides a complete and self-consistent dataset for the thermoelastic properties of tungsten at high P – T conditions, which is important to improve the theoretical modeling of these materials under dynamic conditions.
