Summary: This study reports the pivotal effect of chloride adsorbates on the separation of photocarriers and the enhancement of photocatalytic syngas evolution. Chloride adsorbed on the surface of CdS increases the internal electric field and promotes charge separation and migration. The delocalization of surface holes on specific sites in CdS-Cl can reduce hole mobility and prolong the lifetime of photocarriers, resulting in an 11-fold increase in the photocatalytic syngas evolution from glycerol.

Summary: Requeson cheese, made from whey proteins, is an economical option in Latin American countries. The study found that the addition of salts and packaging methods influenced the cheese's antioxidant and ACE inhibitory activities. To create a cheese with ACE inhibitory capacity, it is recommended to avoid adding salt or add 1% salt (NaCl) and vacuum pack it. For a cheese with antioxidant activity, adding 1.5% salt (NaCl or NaCl/KCl) and packaging it in a polyethylene bag or vacuum is recommended.

Summary: Traditional nitrogen transformation processes in constructed wetlands involve aerobic nitrification and anoxic denitrification, but recent research has discovered novel pathways like anaerobic ammonium oxidation, heterotrophic nitrification, and aerobic denitrification, which can be enhanced by enriching specialized bacteria through selection pressures. Understanding these novel pathways and associated microbial populations can provide new insights for designing constructed wetlands for enhanced nitrogen removal.

Summary: A facile and green strategy is proposed for preparing porous carbons (Ma-NaCl-X) from ammonium lignosulfonate with the assistance of sodium chloride. The catalytic effect of molten NaCl significantly enhances the order and electrical conductivity of Ma-NaCl-900 prepared at 900 degrees C compared to Ma-NaCl-800. When carbonization temperature reaches 1000 degrees C, NaCl's catalysis and activation effects result in sharp increases in specific surface area, micropore volume, and sp2 carbon content of Ma-NaCl-1000. Furthermore, Ma-NaCl-1000 exhibits ultrahigh electrical conductivity and considerable surface area, enabling a symmetrical supercapacitor to deliver high energy density and retain impressive values at ultrahigh power density. Additionally, Ma-NaCl-700 with suitable heteroatom content shows a high specific capacitance and excellent rate capability in an aqueous symmetric supercapacitor.

Summary: This study revealed the long-term microbiological responses of the partial nitrification/anammox (PN/A) system to hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium chloride (ATMAC-C16). The system showed tolerance to ATMAC-C16 and enriched specific anammox bacteria under the pressure. ATMAC-C16 decreased the relative abundance of most antibiotics resistance genes but significantly enriched QACs resistance genes. The resistance strain Pseudoxanthomonas mexicana was identified and its resistance might be due to the qacH gene and its own efflux pump system.

Summary: This study assessed the potential uptake of nitrogen, potassium, and calcium by Eucalyptus grandis trees in different lateral distances and depths. The results showed that only trees located near the injection point took up the 15NO3- tracer, while the Rb+, Sr2+, and Cs+ tracers were taken up at distances up to 11 meters. The study also revealed the potential of Eucalyptus trees to take up nutrients early, at long distances, and at depth.

Summary: This study evaluated the preferential uptake of ammonium and nitrate in sugarcane genotypes and found that efficient genotypes extracted more nitrogen from the soil. Additionally, three days after ammonium application, sugarcane showed a greater absorption of ammonium compared to nitrate. Therefore, the use of nitrification inhibitors can enhance nitrogen use efficiency in sugarcane.

Summary: Soil microbial community coalescence, the mixing and interaction of microbial communities, has been found to enhance the stability and complexity of rhizobacterial networks, leading to improved plant health and biomass. This study investigated the effects of different degrees of bacterial community coalescence on plant disease resistance by mixing soils from healthy and diseased habitats for watermelon planting. The results showed that mixing in more healthy soil reduced the plant disease index and increased biomass by improving the stability and complexity of the rhizobacterial network. Core taxa Nitrospirillum and Singulisphaera were enriched in the rhizosphere from healthy soils and played important roles in disease suppression and regulating the positive cohesion and modularity of the networks. Overall, these findings provide insights into the potential mechanism of microbial community coalescence for improving plant microbial community function and suggest new tools for enhancing plant fitness via soil microbiota mixing.

Summary: Collembolans, the diverse group of soil invertebrates, are affected by anthropogenic climate warming, which alters their diversity and density. In addition to abiotic stressors, changes in food availability, specifically the abundance of saprotrophic and mycorrhizal fungi, influence Collembola responses to climate warming. Collembolans prefer saprotrophic fungi but rely on mycorrhizal fungi when food sources are scarce. Understanding the mechanisms behind these dietary shifts in warm-dry and warm-wet soil conditions is crucial for predicting the impact of climate change on Collembola-fungal interactions.
