Casuarina equisetifolia L. (Casuarinaceae), an actinorhizal plant , exhibits mutualistic symbiosis with Frankia and promotes nitrogen fixation in root nodules . While the exchange of metabolites between host plant and microsymbiont is well understood in legume symbioses, the situation in the symbiosis between nitrogen-fixing Frankia and actinorhizal plants is less clear. In this study, a metabolomic approach was applied to root nodules of mature C. equisetifolia trees, leading to the identification of an undescribed taraxerane-type triterpenoid ester, 3- O -dihydrocoumaroyl β -taraxerol, along with twelve known compounds. An abundant component was tyramine with a content of 2.76 ± 0.315 mg/g FW in mature nodules. Tyramine specifically and abundantly accumulated in mature nitrogen-fixing nodules compared to senescent nodules, stems, leaves, and seeds. In addition, the potential function of tyramine was preliminarily examined and discussed.

Suan zuo rou (SZR), a traditional fermented meat from Guizhou province, China, is loved by local people for its unique flavor and nutritional value. However, the microbial communities and related flavor characteristics of SZR from different regions of Guizhou are unclear. We studied the correlation between the microbial communities and the physicochemical properties and volatile flavor compounds (VFCs) of 15 SZR samples from three regions in Guizhou province. The microbial community structure of SZR was determined by high-throughput sequencing and VFCs were identified by headspace-solid phase microextraction combined with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The results indicated that the microbial communities of SZR varied among the regions, as evidenced by the relative abundance of Weissella, Staphylococcus, Brochothrix, Kazachstania, and Debaryomces. There were also significant differences in pH, water activity, NaCl, and total volatile basic nitrogen (P < 0.05). Based on orthogonal projections to latent structures and Pearson’s correlation coefficient, we showed that Wickerhamomyces, Kazachstania, Lactobacillus, Weissella, Brochothrix, Debaryomyces, Staphylococcus, Pediococcus, Pichia, Candida, and Leuconostoc were highly correlated with 48 VFCs (| ρ| > 0.8, P < 0.05). Redundancy analysis showed that most of the dominant bacteria were positively related to water activity, whereas Lactobacillus was positively related with pH, and negatively related with total volatile basic nitrogen.

To meet the demand for nondestructive detection, we developed a truly human-wearable glove biosensor, which can be applied for in-situ analysis of pesticides on crop surfaces during the picking process. Herein, the Burkholderia cepacia (BCL)@UiO-66/Pro functionalized Kevlar-based laser-induced graphene (LIG) three-electrode glove sensing system was equipped with biocompatible semisolid electrolyte. In this system, Kevlar-based LIG electrodes showed the lowest sheet resistance of 28.26 Ω/sq. and I D /I G ratio value of 0.163 with optimal laser power of 9 %. Importantly, the BCL@UiO-66/Pro modified on Kevlar-based LIG electrode enhanced the catalytic efficiency of the BCL, the absolute value of the redox potential increases from the −0.412 V to −0.664 V due to an increase in the immobilization efficiency of BCL on UiO-66 after proline modification. In addition, the Kevlar-based wearable glove biosensor exhibited high repeatability, selective and sensitive electrochemical sensing of MP at concentrations ranging from 5 to 40 μM with a low detection limit of 0.84 μM. During the 10-day storage stability test, the fabricated Kevlar-based LIG biosensor demonstrated good reusability and excellent stability for MP detection with retention of more than 96 % of its initial response. Such wearable Kevlar-based glove biosensor could be a transformative approach for the in-situ analysis of pesticide residue on crops, which could also promote future precision agriculture development.

Membrane biofouling is a challenge to be solved for the stable operation of the seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) membrane. This study explored the regulation mechanism of quorum sensing (QS) inhibition on microbial community composition and population-level behaviors in seawater desalination membrane biofouling. A novel antibiofouling SWRO membrane (MA_m) by incorporating one of quorum sensing inhibitors (QSIs), methyl anthranilate (MA) was prepared. It exhibited enhanced anti-biofouling performance than the exogenous addition of QSIs, showing long-term stability and alleviating 22 % decrease in membrane flux compared with the virgin membrane. The results observed that dominant bacteria Epsilon- and Gamma-proteobacteria ( Shewanella, Olleya, Colwellia, and Arcobacter ), which are significantly related to ( P ≤ 0.01) the metabolic products (i.e., polysaccharides, proteins and eDNA), are reduced by over 80 % on the MA_m membrane. Additionally, the introduction of MA has a more significant impact on the QS signal-sensing pathway through binding to the active site of the transmembrane sensor receptor. It effectively reduces the abundance of genes encoding QS and extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) (exopolysaccharides (i.e., galE and nagB ) and amino acids (i.e., ilvE, metH, phhA , and serB )) by up to 50 % and 30 %, respectively, resulting in a reduction of EPS by more than 50 %, thereby limiting the biofilm formation on the QSI-modified membrane. This study provides novel insights into the potential of QSIs to control consortial biofilm formation in practical SWRO applications.
