Summary: This research examined the short-term effects (48 hours of exposure) of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) mixtures on the nauplii and adult of Artemia franciscana. The study found additive or synergic effects for most PAHs combinations, except for naphthalene + phenanthrene which showed an antagonistic effect. The expression level of five stress-response genes in Artemia was also impacted by the PAHs mixtures.

Summary: The study demonstrates that the constructed bacterial consortium showed higher efficiency in degrading phenanthrene compared to pure strains. Degradation rates were enhanced in the presence of intermediates pathway but reduced in the presence of catechol. Ring-cleavage dioxygenases were induced in all treatments.

Summary: Naphthalene- and phenanthrene-fused [22]smaragdyrin BF2-complexes and the corresponding antiaromatic [20]smaragdyrin free bases were successfully synthesized through a series of reactions. The introduced fused structures altered the aromatic and antiaromatic properties of these compounds.

Summary: This study presents a strategy to improve the sensitivity of nucleic acid assays by targeting multi-copy genes. The effectiveness of this strategy was demonstrated using Brucella as a test model. The results show that targeting high copy signature genes represents a universal strategy for ultrasensitive detection of bacteria.

Summary: In this study, the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in humans were investigated. It was found that all the PAHs were rapidly absorbed and excreted in urine within a short period of time. The fractional urinary excretion of PAH metabolites ranged from 0.07% to 11.3%, with a half-life of 3.4 to 11.0 hours. Two-compartment models successfully described the toxicokinetic characteristics of each PAH.

Summary: Aerobic bacteria that degrade methylphosphonates and produce methane have been found to play a crucial role in marine carbon and phosphorus cycles. In this study, two newly discovered species of the Marivita genus were identified from metagenomes of former industrial salterns with high salinity levels. These bacteria were found to be significantly more abundant in the salterns compared to nearby reference and restored wetlands.

Summary: In this study, a novel bioaugmentation strategy was developed using halophilic Martelella sp. AD-3 to effectively degrade phenanthrene (PHE) under saline condition. The optimal ratio of strain AD-3 to activated sludge in the bioaugmented sludge (BS) system was found to be 0.5-1.5% (w/w), resulting in significantly higher PHE degradation rates compared to the traditional activated sludge (AS) system. Metagenomic analysis revealed increased expression of the ndoB gene, associated with PHE ring-cleavage, in the BS system. Members of the Corynebacterium and Alcaligenes genera were abundant in the AD-3 bioaugmented BS system. Overall, this study demonstrates an effective bioaugmentation strategy for the remediation of saline wastewater containing PAHs.

Summary: The scope of bioengineering is expanding to include the design of microbial communities, and researchers have shown that a stable two-strain community can be achieved by engineering a strain of Escherichia coli to secrete a toxin in response to competition. Experimental and mathematical evidence demonstrates that this system can produce stable populations with tunable compositions controlled by easily adjustable parameters. This approach allows for the creation of tunable, stable two-strain consortia with the potential to interface with natural microbiomes.

Summary: The study found that using biochar treatment resulted in a higher available phosphorus content in the soil compared to direct cow dung treatment, leading to an increase in phosphorus levels in both aboveground and underground components of P.euphratica seedlings. Additionally, biochar increased the biodiversity of rhizosphere and non-rhizosphere soil bacteria.

Summary: The study found that PHE pollution affects the soil bacterial community and function, leading to a decrease in bacterial diversity. The structure and function of the bacterial community are influenced by PHE and salinity, with different regions showing different bacterial distribution characteristics.

Summary: This research focused on the synergistic removal of two commonly found polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, Naphthalene and Phenanthrene, through a combination of electro-oxidation and biodegradation in a submerged membrane bioreactor. The study found that the use of Ti/IrO2 anode and specific operating conditions led to high removal efficiencies for both compounds, demonstrating the feasibility of the coupled EO-SMBR system in treating PAH-contaminated water.
