In this work, a simple, rapid, reliable and low cost method for simultaneous electrochemical determination of As, Cu, Hg and Pb ions, on a vibrating gold microwire electrode combined with stripping voltammetry, is described for the first time. The multi-element detection was performed in the presence of oxygen by differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry (DPASV) in HCl 0.1 M with NaCl 0.5 M. This media was found optimum in terms of peak resolution, peak shape and sensitivities, and has a composition similar to seawater to which the method could potentially be applied. The gold microwire electrode presented well defined, undistorted. sharp and reproducible peaks for trace concentrations of Cu, Hg and Pb and As presented a reproducible peak with a small shoulder. Using a gold vibrating microwire electrode of 25 mu m diameter and 30 s deposition time, the detection limits of As, Cu, Hg and Pb were 0.07, 0.4, 0.07 and 0.2 mu g L-1, respectively. Possible effects of Al, Cd, Cr, Fe, Mn, Ni. Sb and Zn were investigated but did not cause any significant interferences. Finally, the method was applied for the simultaneous determination of these four metals in unpolluted river water samples and the results were validated by Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy with Electrotherrnal Atomization (AAS-EA) or by Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS).

Modulation of Siderophore Production by Pseudomonas fluorescens Through the Manipulation of the Culture Medium Composition

Joao M. Vindeirinho, Helena M. V. M. Soares, Eduardo Soares

Summary: The culture medium composition plays a significant role in the production of siderophores by Pseudomonas fluorescens DSM 50090. Succinate in minimal medium was found to be more effective for siderophore production compared to King B medium. However, changes in carbon sources like glycerol or dextrose in the minimal medium resulted in lower siderophore production. The regulation of siderophore production in P. fluorescens appears to be tightly controlled, suggesting that once a maximum concentration is reached, the bacterium is unable to produce more.

Coastal waters contamination by mining tailings: What triggers the stability of iron in the dissolved and soluble fractions?

Cybelle Menolli Longhini, Leo Mahieu, Fabian Sa, Constant M. G. van den Berg, Pascal Salaun, Renato Rodrigues Neto

Summary: The solubility of iron in coastal waters is greatly influenced by complexation with organic ligands, primarily humic substances. Mining activities can disrupt the natural biogeochemical cycle of iron, leading to high concentrations of dissolved and soluble iron fractions in water affected by mining catastrophes. The dominant presence of Fe(III) oxyhydroxides and Fe(III) complexes with amine compounds in the water column suggests alternative processes to explain the high dissolved iron concentrations in these affected coastal areas.

Phycosphere pH of unicellular nano- and micro- phytoplankton cells and consequences for iron speciation

Fengjie Liu, Martha Gledhill, Qiao-Guo Tan, Kechen Zhu, Qiong Zhang, Pascal Salaun, Alessandro Tagliabue, Yanjun Zhang, Dominik Weiss, Eric P. Achterberg, Yuri Korchev

Summary: The pH levels in the extracellular microenvironment surrounding phytoplankton cells (the phycosphere) differ slightly from bulk seawater. The difference is regulated by photosynthesis, extracellular enzymatic transformation of bicarbonate, as well as light intensity and seawater pH and buffering capacity. The pH change in the phycosphere alters Fe speciation and availability, which is crucial for assessing the sensitivity of marine phytoplankton to ocean acidification and Fe limitation.

Miniaturized ascorbic acid assay platform based on point discharge atomic emission spectrometry coupling with gold filament enrichment

Yanping Wang, Yuemei Chen, Kejun Li, Jinrong Zhou, Xin Yuan, Mei Zhang, Ke Huang

Summary: In this work, a portable analytical system based on point discharge chemical vapor generation atomic emission spectrometry (PD-CVG-AES) coupling with gold filament enrichment was designed. The highly sensitive analysis of Hg2+ indirectly realized the detection of ascorbic acid (AA). The measurement is based on the fact that Ag+ can decrease the concentration of Hg2+ by forming Ag-Hg amalgam in the presence of the reductant SnCl2, while AA can pre-reduce Ag+ to Ag0, leading to the generation of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs). The developed novel analytical strategy broadens the application of microplasma-based AES and offers a higher level of sensitivity compared to current AA detection techniques.
