Summary: Microbial transformations are important for the Se cycle, as they convert Se oxyanions into elemental selenium (Se-0) nanostructures, reducing their solubility and toxicity. Aerobic granular sludge (AGS) has been studied for its ability to efficiently reduce selenite to biogenic Se-0 (Bio-Se-0) and retain it in bioreactors. In this study, selenite removal and Bio-Se-0 biogenesis in different size groups of aerobic granules were investigated. Large granules (>= 0.5 mm) showed rapid and efficient selenite reduction and Bio-Se-0 formation due to better entrapment capabilities. SEM-EDX analysis confirmed the formation of Se-0 spheres and their association with the granules. A bacterial strain, identified as Microbacterium azadirachtae, was found to efficiently reduce selenite under aerobic conditions and immobilize the resulting Bio-Se-0. The findings suggest the potential use of large AGS and AGS-borne bacteria in bioremediation of metal(loid) oxyanions and bio-recovery.

Summary: This study examined the biosynthesis and characterization of selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) using two endophytic selenobacteria. The results showed that both strains were suitable for producing SeNPs with different properties. The SeNPs were surrounded by the proteins, lipids, and polysaccharides of bacterial cells, and the functional groups present in SeNPs from one strain were higher in number than in the other strain. The findings support the potential of these endophytic strains as biocatalysts for producing high-quality Se-based nanoparticles, and future efforts should focus on evaluating their bioactivity and determining how the different features of each SeNP modulate their biological action and stability.

Summary: This study found that Bacillus cereus SES, with the capability of reducing both Cr(VI) and Se(IV), demonstrated a faster reduction of Cr(VI) in the presence of Se(IV). Proteomics analysis revealed the mechanisms underlying the enhanced resistance and reduction of Cr(VI) by B. cereus SES in the presence of Se(IV). Moreover, the combination of Se and B. cereus SES showed potential for reducing the toxicity of Cr(VI) by affecting the bioavailability of both Cr and Se in soil.

Summary: This study investigates the interaction between biologically produced sulfur and selenium oxyanions during the bio-reduction process. The results show that the addition of biologically produced sulfur and sulfate promotes the bio-reduction of selenium oxyanions and accelerates the formation of hexagonal selenium. Hexagonal selenium is advantageous for separation and recovery and has lower mobility and toxicity compared to amorphous selenium.

Summary: The biotransformation of selenium compounds into volatile organoselenium species is influenced by the type of bacterial species and chemical form of selenium. E. coli can convert selenite and Ch-SeNPs into different organoselenium compounds, while S. aureus is limited in its conversion abilities. Additionally, the formation of a new volatile mixed sulfur/selenium compound, dimethyl selenenyl sulfide, from nanoparticulated selenium has been detected for the first time.

Summary: Chemoenzymatic cascades are important tools for advanced synthesis in chemistry. In this study, a simple method combining particle catalysts and enzymes in water and Pickering emulsions was successfully presented, enabling chemoenzymatic cascades. The particle catalysts acted as asymmetric catalysts for the first-step reaction and as an emulsifier to form stable Pickering emulsions. The second-step reaction of enantioselective acylation was achieved by adding Candida antarctica lipase B into the emulsions. This method has potential for generalizing to other cascade syntheses with different chemo- and biocatalysts in the future.

This study provides insights into the speciation of Rare Earth Elements (REE) and trivalent f-elements, and demonstrates the chemical journey of europium through winter rye. Through various analytical techniques, including SEM, EDS, mass spectrometry, and luminescence measurements, the distribution and species of Eu(III) in plants were determined. This work contributes to a better understanding of the uptake mechanisms of f-elements in plants.

Summary: In this work, we investigated the use of surface-binding peptides functionalized magnetic carriers for the separation of rare-earth fluorescent lamp phosphors. The functionalization of the carriers affected the surface properties of the particles, and we found that carboxylic acid coated Dynabeads had a high affinity for the red phosphor Y2O3:Eu3+. Raman spectroscopic analysis revealed an equilibrium of multiple peptide conformations and/or the presence of intermolecular disulfide bonds.

Summary: In order to assess the safety of repositories for highly radioactive waste, it is necessary to develop models for the migration and transfer of radionuclides in the environment, which requires a deeper understanding at the molecular level. This study investigated the uptake, speciation, and localization of Eu(III) in Brassica napus plants to study the interaction of plants with trivalent actinides. The results showed that different species of Eu(III) occur simultaneously in the root tissue and in solution.

Summary: The reactivity of Fe(II) sorbed on different types of clay towards U(VI) reduction was investigated. U(VI) reduction only occurred on Fe-free synthetic montmorillonite (MONT), and a hydrated uranyl silicate (soddyite)-like phase was formed. The lack of reactivity on Fe-poor natural montmorillonite (Fe-MONT) and Fe-rich natural nontronite (NAu-2) is likely due to inter-valence charge transfer (IVCT) between surface Fe(II) and structural Fe(III). This study highlights the dependence of clay sorbed Fe2+ reactivity on the nature of clay and the oxidation state of sorbed Fe.

Summary: This study investigates the chemistry of TcVIIO4- and TcIV species at the Fe3O4(001) surface using a hybrid DFT functional (HSE06) method. The results indicate that the interaction between TcVIIO4- and the magnetite surface leads to the formation of reduced TcVI species without any change in the Tc coordination sphere. Additionally, several model structures for the immobilized TcIV final products are explored, showing that TcIV can be incorporated into a subsurface octahedral site or adsorbed on the surface as TcIVO2 center dot xH2O chains.

Summary: This study reveals that chronic exposure to PM induces chronic inflammation and development of COPD by dysregulating NAD+ metabolism and subsequent SIRT1 deficiency in pulmonary macrophages. Activation of SIRT1 by resveratrol effectively mitigates PM-induced inflammation and COPD development. Targeting metabolic and epigenetic reprogramming in macrophages induced by PM is a promising strategy for COPD treatment.

Summary: Microplastic contamination in marine ecosystems poses a growing concern due to its trophic transfer and negative effects on marine organisms. This study investigates the transfer and impacts of polystyrene microplastics in an estuarine food chain. The results show that microplastics can be transferred through the food chain, although the transfer rates are low. The exposed organisms exhibit stress responses, suggesting the potential risk of microplastics reaching humans through the food chain.
