Summary: Raoultella sp. S1 has been found to have high algicidal efficiency against Microcystis aeruginosa, causing cell death through flocculation and lysis. Its algicidal activity is stable across a range of temperatures and pH levels, and triggers an oxidative stress response to attack the photosynthetic system in algal cells.

Summary: In this study, a porous foam-like self-floating N-deficient g-C3N4 (SFGN) photocatalyst was developed for efficient degradation of microcystin-LR (MC-LR). The SFGN's surface defects and floating state synergistically enhanced light harvesting and carrier migration rate. The photocatalytic process achieved nearly 100 % removal rate of MC-LR within 90 min, and the self-floating state of SFGN maintained good mechanical strength. ESR and radical capture experiments confirmed that ·OH was the primary active species responsible for the photocatalytic process.

Summary: Silver carp, a widely distributed phytoplankton predator in China, has been found to be resistant to microcystins (MCs), hepatotoxins generated by toxic algae. This study analyzed the full-length transcriptome of silver carp and identified nine ABCC transporter genes that play a role in the excretion of MCs. Among these genes, abcc3 and abcc9 showed the most significant response, indicating their prominent detoxification function in silver carp. The study also found that glutathione-S-transferase (GST) activity increased significantly while the glutathione (GSH) content decreased, suggesting that GST catalyzes the binding of GSH and MC-LR for excretion through ABCC transporters.

Summary: This study developed a g-C3N4 with N2C-type defects/MoO3 Z-scheme photocatalyst (D-CN/MoO3) for the degradation of microcystin (MC-LR) in visible light. The D-CN/MoO3 could photodegrade 100% of MC-LR within 25 min, which was significantly higher than pure g-C3N4. The degradation mechanism was found to be the selective attack of 1O2 on the Adda side chain of MC-LR and subsequent decarboxylation reaction of h+, leading to effective mineralization and reduced toxicity of MC-LR. The D-CN/MoO3 also demonstrated excellent stability and adaptability, showing potential for decontamination of MC-LR in eutrophic water.

Summary: This study evaluated the UV/Fenton system for the removal of Microcystis aeruginosa, algal organic matter (AOM), and microcystin-LR (MC-LR) and analyzed their degradation pathways. The results showed that the system efficiently removed algae cells and reduced proteins and soluble biological metabolites in the extracellular organic matter. Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis revealed that HO· produced by the system could attack multiple reaction sites in the MC-LR molecule and transform it into CO2, H2O, and inorganic ions. The UV/Fenton system is a promising method for algae removal and MC-LR degradation without secondary pollution.

Summary: Soil phosphatase is inhibited under arsenic stress, with greater inhibition observed in acid soils compared to alkaline soils. The inhibition mechanism includes competitive inhibition, linear mixed inhibition, non-competitive inhibition, and anti-competitive inhibition. The ecological dose (ED10) for arsenic ranged from 0.11 to 164.07 mg/kg depending on soil type. The V-max/K-m of phosphatase is a more sensitive index for assessing arsenic contamination, and soil pH and cation exchange capacity are important factors affecting arsenic inhibition on soil phosphatase. Adjusting the assay buffer pH to the soil pH is crucial for accurate evaluation of arsenic toxicity.

Summary: Earthworms are being studied for their potential in bioremediation due to their impact on pollutant fate. Different earthworm species have varying sensitivities and capacities to break down contaminants, and Lumbricus terrestris is the most suitable species for bioremediation of OP-contaminated soil due to its higher levels of detoxification enzymes and oxidative homeostasis mechanisms compared to Eisenia fetida andAporrectodea caliginosa. These findings suggest L. terrestris as a better candidate for soil bioremediation than epigeic earthworms.

Summary: The steep rise in global plastic production and discharge of plastic waste pose a threat to the ecosystem and human health due to the generation of particulate plastics and release of toxic chemical additives. However, only a small percentage of plastic additives have been characterized for their ecological concern, and information on their ecotoxicity remains incomplete. This review aims to provide detailed insights into the ecological impacts of plastic additives, which are crucial for restricting their use, finding eco-friendly alternatives, and establishing or revising guidelines by global health and environmental agencies.

Summary: Microplastics (MPs) have significant ecological and bioeconomic implications at environmentally relevant concentrations, posing a threat to aquatic ecosystems and the achievement of UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This study found that the growth rate of microalgae was reduced by 10-15% in the presence of three types of MPs (PET, PVC, and PS), indicating an increased energy demand. The impacts on biochemical processes varied with concentration. Through a comprehensive analysis, it was revealed that MPs not only affect SDG 14 (Life Below Water), but also have direct and indirect influences on five other SDGs.

Summary: The use of machine learning to predict the performance of specific adsorbents in phosphate adsorption shows great promise in saving time and revealing underlying mechanisms. However, the small size of the dataset and insufficient detailed information limits the model training process and the accuracy of results. To address this, the study employs a fuzzing strategy that replaces detailed numeric information with descriptive text messages on the physiochemical properties of adsorbents. This strategy allows the recovery of discarded samples with limited information, leading to accurate prediction of adsorption amount, capacity, and kinetics. The study also finds that phosphate uptake by adsorbents is generally through physisorption, with some involvement of chemisorption. The framework established in this study provides a practical approach for quickly predicting phosphate adsorption performance in urgent scenarios, using easily accessible information.
