Summary: A rotating platform has been developed using a centrifugal chip holder for liquid delivery achieved by centrifugal pumping. Microchannels constructed in standard chips made from glass slides allow for fast hybridization reactions. The study found that good differentiation between perfectly complementary strands and 1 bp-mismatching counterparts can be achieved when the long target strand is immobilized first and the short probe is hybridized secondly (Method 2), but not when the short probe is immobilized first and the long target is hybridized subsequently (Method 1).

Summary: Collimonas sp. (D-25), a gram-negative bacterium found in the soil of Akita Prefecture, can synthesize gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). During AuNPs synthesis, a specific protein called DP-1 disappeared in the sonicated solution of the bacterium. Recombinant DP-1 (rDP-1) from Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) was used to study the effect of DP-1 on AuNPs synthesis, and it was found that AuNPs synthesized with rDP-1 were small and stabilized. AuNPs synthesized by DP-1 retained stability under high salt concentrations. Isothermal titration calorimetry revealed that several thousand rDP-1 proteins form a protein corona on the surface of an AuNP. These findings indicate that DP-1 from D-25 plays a role in controlling the size and stability of AuNPs during synthesis.

Summary: The biosynthesis of nanomedicine using tumor cells as a basis has shown potential for enhancing radiotherapy sensitivity and promoting immune responses. Au@MC38's intracellular biomineralization and exocytosis process can be regulated by cellular metabolites and other factors, potentially leading to effective immune responses through radio-sensitization. Additionally, the strategy has demonstrated an effective inhibition of primary and metastatic tumors, as well as improving survival benefits when combined with immune checkpoint blockade.

Summary: The biosynthesis of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) with a surface biological coating has been investigated for its potential in minimizing toxic by-products and improving the properties of the nanoparticles. In this study, Nasturtium officinale leaf extract was used as a reducing and stabilizing agent. The formed AuNPs were characterized using various techniques to evaluate their properties. The results showed that the biosynthesized AuNPs exhibited dose-dependent antioxidant activity and were non-toxic to rat bone marrow cells. Furthermore, these nanoparticles demonstrated cytoprotective effects against cyclophosphamide-induced gonadotoxicity, as evidenced by the reversal of hormonal and morphological alterations. The expression analysis of apoptotic genes confirmed the antioxidant and protective effects of the biosynthesized nanoparticles. These findings suggest that the biosynthesized AuNPs could be a promising antioxidant for cancer treatment with potential for reducing side effects when combined with chemotherapy drugs.

Summary: This study systematically investigated the responses of fungal communities under continuous aromatic hydrocarbon stress and found a decreasing trend in fungal diversity during the treatment. Community succession was observed, with an increase in the relative abundance of some typical degraders. Predicted functions of the fungal community suggested the importance of certain enzymes in degradation processes. The study also demonstrated the deterministic assembly process of fungal communities under continuous aromatic hydrocarbon stress, with environmental selection dominating succession.

Summary: Although the autotrophic phytoplankton and heterotrophic zooplankton are important in marine ecosystems, their interactions and spatial patterns have not been well studied at a continental scale. This study collected seawater samples along the Chinese coastline and investigated the diversity of planktonic organisms. Using a new approach called Inter-Domain Ecological Networks (IDENs), the interaction networks between phytoplankton and zooplankton were constructed. The results showed that the structure of the phyto-zooplankton network varied across different regions, with more complexity and connections in the southern coast. Additionally, specific associations between zooplankton and phytoplankton groups were found to be localized in certain regions. The seawater temperature and salinity were identified as the major driving forces shaping these planktonic interaction networks.

Summary: This study investigated fungal succession and their ecological and engineering value in anaerobic digestion (AD) systems using food waste. The results showed that fungal biomass and diversity followed a similar pattern, decreasing from the initial time point and then rising and stabilizing. The dominant fungal taxa had the potential to degrade complex organic matter and alleviate fatty acid and ammonia accumulation. The fungal community structure and composition changed during the AD process, and the assembly succession was mainly determined by environmental changes. AD bioreactors could select specific fungal taxa over time, but function prediction based on existing databases may underestimate fungal function. Overall, fungi have important ecological and engineering values in AD systems.

Summary: The linkages between phytoplankton and zooplankton are crucial for the stability of complex food webs and the flow of energy within the marine ecosystem. This study found that zooplanktonic body sizes have significant negative effects on the topological properties of phyto-zooplanktonic networks (PZNs), with smaller zooplankton associated with more complex and stable networks. Additionally, abiotic factors and environmental factors were found to significantly influence PZNs, and the relationship between zooplanktonic body sizes and environmental factors played a role in shaping network structure.

Summary: Soil bacterial communities in a coastal area follow a distance-decay relationship and the distribution is influenced by body size. This study collected soil samples from two adjacent ecosystems and found that the entire microbial community, as well as individual taxonomic groups, exhibited distance-decay patterns. The turnover rate of microbial communities was higher in nontidal soils and topsoil, with body size influencing the spatial limitation in nontidal topsoil but not in tidal soils.

Summary: In this study, the biogeographic patterns of microeukaryotic plankton diversity, community structure, and co-occurrence patterns were investigated using environmental DNA methods. The results showed a unimodal pattern of planktonic alpha diversity with latitude, and nutrient-related factors were found to be the main drivers of spatial patterns. Additionally, significant regional biogeographic patterns and potential drivers for planktonic communities were identified, with inorganic nitrogen and heavy metals having the greatest impact. Furthermore, the study revealed that anthropogenic activity factors strongly influenced the networked topology and structure of the planktonic community.

Summary: The corrosion inhibitory potency of two new pyrimidine-pyrazole derivatives, PPA and PPC, was evaluated for mild steel in 1 M HCl. The results showed enhanced inhibition activities with increased concentration, reaching maximal values of 91.15% and 92.39% for PPA and PPC, respectively. However, the mitigation potency decreased with increasing temperature. SEM and XPS analysis revealed that PPA and PPC adsorbed on the mild steel surface, forming a shielding layer that prevented the dissolution of the steel in the acidic solution.

The encapsulation efficiency of major components of essential oil was determined, and it was found that they followed Higuchi model of release kinetics. The essential oil loaded nanostructured lipid carrier showed significantly higher mycelial growth inhibition compared to pure essential oil, indicating enhanced bio-efficacy.
