Summary: In the study, the acute toxicity of 30 haloquinolines was assessed using Vibrio fischeri, with varying levels of toxicity observed. The presence of larger substituents at the 2/8-positions and less negative charge at the 4/5/6/8-positions in the quinoline derivative rings correlated positively with their toxicity towards V. fischeri.

Summary: A novel method using QSAR models and species sensitivity distributions (SSDs) is proposed to assess the ecological risk of PFCs. The study found correlations between the molecular characteristics of PFCs, chronic toxicities, and species sensitivity. This approach can be used to evaluate the ecological risk of PFCs in aquatic systems in China, and the results suggest that the potential risk to aquatic species from exposure to PFCs is negligible.

Summary: Tetracyclines, a type of antibiotics, are widely used globally and often found in surface waters due to incomplete removal in wastewater treatment. Advanced oxidation processes have been explored for tetracyclines degradation, with increasing interest in their transformation products (TPs). This study found that lower ozone concentration was more effective in removing oxytetracycline (OTC) compared to higher concentrations at the same flow rate. However, degradation of doxycycline (DTC) required more ozone compared to OTC. The identified TPs showed toxic effects on aquatic organisms, correlating with the inhibitory effects on Vibrio fischeri.

The assay exhibited 100% specificity and maintained its sensitivity after PMA treatment. The results showed that the assay could detect viable V. parahaemolyticus, V. alginolyticus, and V. cholerae as low as 1.0 x 102 CFU/mL after 10 hours of enrichment. The practical application of the assay using 453 actual samples also demonstrated its accuracy in screening target vibrios in seafood.

Summary: The study reveals that Hfq plays a crucial regulatory role in various phenotypes relevant to the symbiosis between V. fischeri and its squid host, including bioluminescence, motility, and biofilm formation. The deletion of Hfq not only increased luminescence production in V. fischeri but also affected motility and biofilm formation, independent of the known regulatory pathways. Hfq is thus identified as an important regulator of multiple facets of symbiosis in this system.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of solution velocity, antisolvent composition, temperature, and gravity on crystallization using polypropylene flat sheet membranes and a glycine-water-ethanol model system. The results demonstrate that membrane antisolvent crystallization provides a narrower crystal size distribution and more consistent crystal morphology compared to batch and drop-by-drop crystallization. The crystal size does not show a clear correlation with solution velocities or antisolvent composition, but increases with higher temperature or gravity resistance. Furthermore, the monoclinic form of alpha-glycine is perfectly maintained under all conditions.

The enthalpies of dissolution of azeotropes in different mediums were determined, and the impact of the structure of the azeotropes on their properties in solution was discussed. A correlation between enthalpies of solvation and molar refraction was used to determine the vaporization enthalpies of azeotropes for the first time. The results were found to be consistent with literature data, obtained using direct and calculated methods. These findings contribute to the analysis of the structure-property relationships of azeotropes.

Summary: In this study, the interactions between doped and pristine coronenes and adenine nucleobases were investigated using Density Functional Theory. The optimal configurations, adsorption energies, charge transfer, and electrical properties of each complex were calculated. It was found that doped coronene had stronger adsorption strength and charge transfer compared to pristine coronene. The stability of the complexes was attributed to non-covalent interactions in the interactive region. The change in electrical conductivity of coronenes after adsorption suggested their sensitivity towards DNA bases. The predicted energy gap and prolonged recovery time for adenine-coronene configurations indicated the potential application of pristine/doped coronene in DNA detection.

Summary: This study evaluated the adsorption of zolpidem on magnetic graphene oxide and synthesized magnetic graphene oxide adsorbents for zolpidem removal. The best magnetic nanoadsorbent was found to have a removal percentage of 87.07% at specific pH and temperature conditions. The results suggest that the removal of zolpidem is related to the surface chemistry of the adsorbent rather than the surface area of graphene oxide. The adsorbent showed excellent adsorption efficiency and magnetic behavior, making it a promising material for removing zolpidem from aqueous solutions.
