The increase in lipids and decrease in carbohydrates serve as an adaptive biochemical reaction in A. platensis, potentially through absorbing antibiotics to minimize their harmful effects.
“It seems that the increase in lipids and decrease in carbohydrate contents serves as an adaptive biochemical reaction in A. platensis , potentially through absorbing antibiotics to minimize their presence and lower their harmful effects (Jiang et al. 2022).”

Lipid accumulation suggests that lipids might be adjusted adaptively to cope with harmful impacts of ERY on A. platensis.
“Lipid accumulation suggests the idea that lipids might be adjusted adaptively to cope with the harmful impacts of ERY on A. platensis (Jiang et al. 2022).”

Lipid peroxidation occurs in cyanobacteria under antibiotic stress, possibly triggered by ROS over-generation.
“These findings indicate that lipid peroxidation occurs in cyanobacteria under antibiotic stress, possibly triggered by ROS over-generation (Jiang et al. 2022).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
