    Abstract Life is a complex phenomenon and much research has been devoted to both understanding its origins from prebiotic chemistry and discovering life beyond Earth. Yet, it has remained elusive how to quantify this complexity and how to compare chemical and biological units on one common scale. Here, a mathematical description of molecular complexity was applied allowing to quantitatively assess complexity of chemical structures. This in combination with the orthogonal measure of information complexity resulted in a two-dimensional complexity space ranging over the entire spectrum from molecules to organisms. Entities with a certain level of information complexity directly require a functionally complex mechanism for their production or replication and are hence indicative for life-like systems. In order to describe entities combining molecular and information complexity, the term biogenic unit was introduced. Exemplified biogenic unit complexities were calculated for ribozymes, protein enzymes, multimeric protein complexes, and even an entire virus particle. Complexities of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, as well as multicellular organisms, were estimated. Thereby distinct evolutionary stages in complexity space were identified. The here developed approach to compare the complexity of biogenic units allows for the first time to address the gradual characteristics of prebiotic and life-like systems without the need for a definition of life. This operational concept may guide our search for life in the Universe, and it may direct the investigations of prebiotic trajectories that lead towards the evolution of complexity at the origins of life.

    Abstract Two species of invasive shrubs are causing extensive environmental harm across North America. Common buckthorn (Rhamnus cathartica L.) and glossy buckthorn (Frangula alnus P. Mill.), originally imported from Europe, have become naturalized in many different ecosystems and are causing negative effects on associated ecosystem services. These invasive plants often create dense, monotypic stands that out-compete native plant species for nutrients and light. Current control methods, including manual or mechanical removal, are expensive and are mainly limited to destroying the buckthorn on site. The high cost of removal may be a barrier for restoration. Economic valuation should be carried out in terms of ecosystems services to better understand the cost-benefit of removing buckthorn. A cost-effective solution for removing buckthorn should also be explored. In this review, the state of the knowledge on the effects of buckthorn and its cost associated with major ecosystem services were synthesized. Existing methods to harvest and transport buckthorn and potential new methods were compiled. Finally, a policy review of buckthorn was completed for states where buckthorn is most prevalent. Findings from this review will be important for applying an economic cost to buckthorn and revealing where more work can be done.

    Abstract Bacteriophages have major impact on their microbial hosts and shape entire microbial communities. The majority of these phages are latent and reside as prophages integrated in the genomes of their microbial hosts. A variety of intricate regulatory systems determine the switch from a lysogenic to lytic life style, but so far strategies are lacking to selectively control prophage induction by small molecules. Here we show that

    Abstract A framework for molecular complexity is established that is based on information theory and consistent with chemical knowledge. The resulting complexity index Cm is derived from abstracting the information content of a molecule by the degrees of freedom in the microenvironments on a per-atom basis, allowing the molecular complexity to be calculated in a simple and additive way. This index allows the complexity of any molecule to be universally assessed and is sensitive to stereochemistry, heteroatoms, and symmetry. The performance of this complexity index is evaluated and compared against the current state of the art. Its additive character gives consistent values also for very large molecules and supports direct comparisons of chemical reactions. Finally, this approach may provide a useful tool for medicinal chemistry in drug design and lead selection, as demonstrated by correlating molecular complexities of antibiotics with compound-specific parameters.

    Abstract The human pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa produces various 4(1H)-quinolones with diverse functions. Among these, 2-nonyl-4(1H)-quinolone (NQ) and its N-oxide (NQNO) belong to the main metabolites. Their biosynthesis involves substrates from the fatty acid metabolism and we hypothesized that oxidized fatty acids could be responsible for a so far undetected class of metabolites. We developed a divergent synthesis strategy for 2'-hydroxy (2'-OH) and 2'-oxo- substituted quinolones and N-oxides and demonstrated for the first time that 2'-OH-NQ and 2'-OH-NQNO but not the corresponding 2'-oxo compounds are naturally produced by PAO1 and PA14 strains of P. aeruginosa. The main metabolite 2'-OH-NQ is produced even in concentrations comparable to NQ. Exogenous availability of β-hydroxydecanoic acid can further increase the production of 2'-OH-NQ. In contrast to NQ, 2'-OH-NQ potently induced the cytokine IL-8 in a human cell line at 100 nм, suggesting a potential role in host immune modulation.
