Nature-inspired wax-coated jute bags regarding lowering post-harvest safe-keeping deficits.

Larvae exposed in the most impacted sites (S2, S3 and S4) presented oxidative stress since the levels of TBARS were around 2 times higher than in S1. Also, the other oxidative stress biomarkers were altered in larvae exposed at S2, S3 and S4. These results highlight the importance of analyzing oxidative stress biomarkers during in situ exposures since they are useful tools for documenting the extent of exposure at sublethal levels. The complex pollution of the water bodies affected the exposed larvae, which may jeopardize the native populations.Prorocentrum lima is a cosmopolitan benthic dinoflagellate capable of producing the diarrhetic shellfish toxins (DSTs) okadaic acid (OA) and dinophysistoxin (DTX). These compounds may cause oxidative stress and accumulate in bivalve tissues, which become vectors of intoxication to human consumers. We investigated DST accumulation, detoxification and oxidative stress biomarkers in clams (Anomalocardia flexuosa) experimentally exposed to P. lima cells or their compounds. Experimental diets consisted of 6000 cells mL-1 of the non-toxic chlorophyte Tetraselmis sp. (C; control condition), and combinations of C with 10 P. lima cells mL-1 (T10), 100 P. lima cells mL-1 (T100), or to a toxin concentration of ∼4 μg OA L-1 and ∼0.65 μg DTX-1 L-1 (T100d). Clams were exposed to these diets for 7 days (uptake phase), followed by a 7-day depuration period. No DSTs were detected in clams exposed to treatments C (control) nor to T100d (dissolved compounds) during either uptake or detoxification phase. Conversely, clams exposeasured in those exposed to T10. These findings indicate that no oxidative stress was primarily induced by DST-producing dinoflagellates in this clam species under laboratory conditions representative of toxic bloom situations. Even though, possible interactions should be considered under multistressor scenarios.The mesoporous poly(N,N'-methylene-bis(1-(3-vinylimidazolium)) chloride), labeled as PDVIm-Cl, with double anions (Cl-) and low monomer molecular weight was synthesized and applied in the adsorption of anionic dyes (acid orange 7 (AO7), sunset yellow (SY), reactive blue 19 (RB19), congo red (CR)). Due to the mesoporous structure, abundant Cl- and positively charged imidazole rings, the poly(ionic liquid) (PIL) exhibited superior adsorption ability towards anionic dyes. Lenvatinib ic50 Lenvatinib ic50 What is more, the RB19 adsorption by PDVIm-Cl could achieve the highest capacity (2605 ± 254 mg g-1) which was nearly twice higher than the maximum adsorption capacity of the previously reported materials. All the adsorption kinetic data and isotherms fitted well with the pseudo second-order model and Langmuir-Freundlich model. To better explore the practical potential of the PIL for dye adsorption, the adsorption under different pH values and column adsorption performances were also evaluated. Results showed that PDVIm-Cl exhibited high removal efficiencies for anionic dyes over a wide pH range (2-10). Also, the great reusability could be well demonstrated by the achievable continuous column adsorption-desorption process. It is worth mentioning that the regeneration could be realized with very little desorbent which was far less than the adsorption volume flowing through the column and the desorption efficiency was well maintained after three consecutive cycles. At last, the adsorption mechanism was explored by experiments combined with quantum chemical calculations and showed anionic dyes adsorption by PDVIm-Cl was a joint process dominated by the ion exchange, electrostatic interaction, hydrogen bond and π-π stacking.Developing novel functional materials with promising desired properties in enhancing energy conversion and lowering the catalytic reaction barriers is essential for the demand to solve the increasingly severe energy and environmental crisis nowadays. Metal oxide semiconductors (MOS) are widely used in the field of catalysis because of its excellent catalytic characteristics. link2 Introduction of defects, in addition to the adjustment of composition and atomic arrangement in the materials can effectively improve the materials' catalytic performance. Especially, introducing oxygen vacancies (OVs) into the lattice structure of MOS has been developed as a facile route to improve MOS's optical and electronic transmission characteristics. link= Lenvatinib ic50 And a large number of metal oxides with rich OVs have been served in oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), oxygen evolution reaction (OER), hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), carbon dioxide reduction reaction (CO2-RR) photo-degradation of organic pollutants, etc. This small review briefly outlines some preparation techniques to introduce OVs into MOS, and the characterization techniques to identify and quantify the OVs in MOS. The applications of OVs contained MOS especially in energy and environmental catalysis areas are also discussed. The effects of OVs types and concentrations on the catalytic performances are deliberated. Finally, the defective structure-catalytic property relationship is highlighted, and the future status and opportunities of MOS containing OVs in the catalytic field are suggested.Dicarboximide fungicides mainly including procymidone, iprodione, vinclozolin, and dimethachlon are often applied as protective fungicides, 3,5-dichloroaniline (3,5-DCA) is their common metabolite in plant and environment. In this study, the acute toxicity of procymidone, iprodione and their metabolite of 3,5-DCA toward zebrafish was evaluated by semi-static method. The enrichment and metabolism of procymidone and iprodione in zebrafish were also clarified. The results indicated that procymidone and iprodione exhibited moderately toxic to adult zebrafish with the LC50 of 2.00 mg/L, 5.70 mg/L at 96 h. Both procymidone and iprodione could be metabolized to 3,5-DCA in zebrafish, which showed higher toxic to adult zebrafish with the LC50 of 1.64 mg/L at 96 h. From the perspective of histomorphology, for all treatment groups, the brain of the zebrafish was significantly damaged, while the damage to gut and gills was lighter. For procymidone, the biological concentration factor (BCF8d) were 236 and 246 at the exposure concentration of 0.2 mg/L and 0.04 mg/L, and the BCF8d were 3.2 and 2.4 for iprodione at the exposure concentration of 0.5 mg/L and 0.1 mg/L. Therefore, the procymidone and iprodione were moderate-enriched and low-enriched in zebrafish, respectively.The solar ultraviolet-B radiation (UVB) is increasingly affecting the aquatic ecosystems due to the long-term antropic damage to the stratospheric ozone. The distrupted interspecies competition is one of the primary causes driving the plankton community composition shifts under UVB stress. To reveal the competitive responses to enhanced UVB radiation, we grew two green algae Scenedesmus obliquus and Chlorella pyrenoidosa, and the unicellular cyanobacterium Microcystis aeruginosa in monocultures and in cocultures under differerent UVB intensities (0, 0.3 and 0.7 W m-2), respectively. Results showed that elevated UVB radiation consistently decreased the population carrying capacies and the photosynthesis of the three species in monocultures. While cocultivated, C. pyrenoidosa was competively excluded by the presence of S. obliquus, and the competitive outcome was not affected by UVB exposure. By contrast, unicellular M. aeruginosa overwhelmingly suppressed the population growth of S. obliquus under no UVB, yet S. obliquus tended to be a better competitor under 0.3-0.7 W m-2 UVB exposure. The species-specific photosynthesis sensitivity to UVB can partly explain the different tolerance of the algae to UVB and the change of competition outcome under elevated UVB. The present study elucidated the potential role of increased UVB radiation in determining the competitions between phytoplankton species, contributing to the understanding of phytoplankton community shifts under enhanced UVB stress.A suitable draw solute (DS) concentration in bioelectrochemically assisted osmotic membrane bioreactor (BEA-OMBR) can convert the "negative effect" of salinity accumulation into a "beneficial effect" by using the reverse-fluxed DS as a buffer agent or a carbon source supplement. link2 Herein, the effect of DS concentration from acid buffer solution (i.e., ammonium chloride, NH4Cl), alkaline buffer solution (i.e., sodium bicarbonate, NaHCO3), and organic solution (i.e., sodium acetate, NaOAc) on salinity accumulation was systematically investigated. Salinity accumulation with NaHCO3 DS mainly derived from reversal fluxed sodium ion (Na+, major contributor with DS concentration ≤0.25 M) and bicarbonate ion (main contributor with DS concentration ≥0.50 M) Na+ accumulation could be mitigated by Na+ transport dominant by electrically driven migration (i.e., 21.3-62.1% of reverse-fluxed Na+), and bicarbonate accumulation could be reduced by buffer system. A medium-low concentration of 0.25 M NH4Cl DS had a better performance on current density of 165.0 ± 23.0 A m-3 and COD removal efficiency of 91.5 ± 3.4% by taking advantage that 77.7 ± 1.3% of reverse-fluxed ammonium could be removed by biological treatment and ammonium transport. link3 A high NaOAc DS concentration (i.e., ≥0.05 M) exhibited a higher current density of 145.3-146.0 A m-3 but a lower COD removal efficiency due to the limited carbon source utilization capacity of anaerobic bacteria. Both concentration diffusion (20.9-28.3%) and electrically driven migration (29.5-39.4%) promoted reverse-fluxed Na+ transport to catholyte and thus mitigated Na+ accumulation in the feed/anolyte. These findings have provided an optimal DS concentration for BEA-OMBR operation and thus encourage its further development.In previous articles, it was found that epoxiconazole enantiomers can persist for a long time in the environment, causing severe environmental damage. Herein, we investigated alterations in the soil microbial community and rat gut microbiota after six weeks of treatment with rac-epoxiconazole or one of its enantiomers. The selected concentrations were 1, 2, and 6 times greater than the maximum residue limits (MRLs). The rat gut microbiota relative abundance in the feces significantly changed following exposure to rac-epoxiconazole or one of its enantiomers. At the phylum level, in the R,S-, S,R-epoxiconazole, and rac-treated groups, Firmicutes presented the greatest decrease in abundance; however, Spirochaetes presented the greatest increase in abundance in the rac- and S,R-epoxiconazole-treated groups. In response to R,S-epoxiconazole, Epsilonbacteraeota presented the greatest increase in abundance. In soil samples treated with epoxiconazole, the relative abundance of the soil bacterial community also changed. Proteobacteria presented the greatest decrease in abundance in the S,R- and rac-treated samples. However, Firmicutes presented the greatest increase in abundance. In the R,S-treated soil samples, the situation was the opposite. In general, prolonged exposure to epoxiconazole at high concentrations could initiate noticeable alterations in rat gut microbiota and soil microbial diversity. R,S-epoxiconazole had improved bioactivity and less toxic effects at relatively low concentrations. link3 Therefore, we recommend using R,S-epoxiconazole at a relatively low concentration, which is better for environmental safety.
