Summary: Mercury content in epiphytic lichens collected in Slovakia mountain forests ranged from 30 to 100 ng/g DW and showed species-specific variation, with Hypogymnia > Pseudevernia > Usnea > Xanthoria > Evernia prunastri. The impact of short-term exogenous Hg and its possible amelioration by nitric oxide in Evernia prunastri was studied. Nitric oxide efficiently reduced Hg-induced ROS signal and absorption of Hg by thalli of Evernia prunastri, as well as mitigated the decline of some macronutrients.

Summary: The oxidation of mineral-bound Fe(II) has an effect on the hydrolytic activity and lifespan of the cellulose-degrading enzyme beta-glucosidase (BG). Under anoxic conditions, BG adsorption to mineral surfaces decreases its activity but prolongs its lifespan. Under oxic conditions, the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), particularly center dot OH, decreases BG activity and shortens its lifespan. These results reveal a previously unknown mechanism of extracellular enzyme inactivation, which has important implications for predicting the active enzyme pool in redox-oscillating environments.

Summary: Ocean acidification poses a high threat to marine microalgae, but the role of marine sediment in the adverse effects of acidification on microalgae is largely unknown. This study systematically investigated the effects of acidification on the growth of individual and co-cultured microalgae in sediment-seawater systems. The presence of sediment significantly mitigated the growth inhibition of certain microalgal species induced by acidification, while promoting the growth of others. Additionally, the introduction of sediment affected the community stability of the co-cultured microalgae under acidification. This work demonstrates the importance of sediment in understanding the impact of ocean acidification on marine ecosystems.

Summary: Recently, more accessible transcriptomic approaches have improved our understanding of environmental toxicity. This study focused on the transcriptomic profiles of green microalgae Chlamydomonas reinhardtii exposed to TiO2 nanotubes (NTs), a commonly used one-dimensional nanomaterial. The results showed that the NTs had a dose-dependent negative effect on the algae, causing metabolic disruption, damage to cellular structures, solute loss, and cell wall damage. Additionally, apoptosis-related transcripts and reactivation of transposons were observed, while genes involved in signaling and transcription pathways were downregulated.

Summary: Graphene-based 2D nanomaterials, such as graphene oxide (GO) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO), exhibit antimicrobial effects on bacteria and viruses. This study focuses on the antiviral properties of reduced GO-based nanocomposites decorated with Ag nanoparticles (rGO-Ag) against human immunodeficiency virus-1 pseudovirus. The results show that rGO-Ag induces peroxidation of the pseudoviral lipid membrane, leading to a reduction in cell entry, and is efficiently internalized in the host cell, resulting in an elevated expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines.

Summary: Although the general concept of nanotechnology relies on exploiting the size-dependent properties of nanoscaled materials, the relationship between the size/morphology of nanoparticles and their biological activity is still not well understood. In this study, we investigated the biological activity of Se nanoparticles with different morphologies (nanorods vs. spherical particles) and aspect ratios (AR) in human cells and mice. Our findings suggest that the aspect ratio is a critical factor for the cytotoxicity and biocompatibility of nanorod-shaped Se nanomaterials.

Summary: This study investigated the accumulation of 55 elements in lichens under a former nickel smelter heap in Dolna Streda, Slovakia, as well as at various distances from the heap and other sites throughout Slovakia. The results showed low levels of major metals in lichens near and far from the heap, indicating limited airborne spread. However, sites with metallurgical activity showed higher levels of individual elements, including rare earth elements, suggesting anthropogenic contamination. Additionally, sites without obvious pollution sources had higher levels of certain elements, such as Cd, Ba, and Re. Overall, lichens can serve as indicators of metal contamination, even in apparently clean sites.

Summary: Single-benzene fluorophores, the smallest and brightest fluorochromes known, have not been extensively studied for the design of high-performance fluorescent sensors of catalytic or enzymatic activities. In this study, new fluorescent probes based on the Tsuji-Trost reaction were developed for selective detection of palladium and other transition metals in an aqueous/organic mixed solvent with high sensitivity. The flexibility in synthesis allows for easy tuning of the emitted fluorescence color, and the yellow emission variant shows promising applicability in sensitive detection of palladium in cell-free and living cell conditions.

Summary: Tropospheric ozone has significant effects on the remobilization and allocation efficiency of aboveground biomass and nutrients in cereal crops. Long-term ozone exposure increases straw C:N ratio and affects grain C:N ratio. Grain N concentrations increase significantly under ozone stress, but N yield declines due to grain yield losses. Various indicators of N use efficiency are reduced, indicating reduced N absorption from soil and allocation from vegetative to reproductive organs. Straw C:N ratio is not suitable for predicting wheat productivity. Nitrogen harvest index (NHI) is not affected by ozone stress, but the relationship between harvest index (HI) and NHI is changed by elevated ozone concentration.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the physiological response of broccoli leaves to abiotic stresses such as salinity and boron toxicity/deficiency. The results showed that the combined stress of salinity and boron deficiency resulted in a significant reduction in plant biomass, and the adaptation mechanisms were associated with water and boron concentration in the leaves. The expression patterns of PIP aquaporins varied among the different stress treatments, and their presence in the plasma membrane and interaction with the lipid environment played potential regulatory roles in facilitating salinity-boron stress adaptation mechanisms.

Summary: Plants activate a sophisticated signaling cascade in response to pests and pathogens, with lipids playing a crucial role in mediating these defense responses. Different types of lipids are involved in cell signaling during plant-pathogen interaction and each lipid has specific relevance and contributes to specific signaling cascades. Lipid biosynthetic enzymes, including phospholipases, are involved in the production of defense signaling molecules. Lipids participate in stress signaling by mediating signal transduction, acting as precursors for bioactive molecules, regulating ROS formation, and interacting with phytohormones.
