In this study, a core–shell structured bimetallic nano-cube, Au@Ag NCs, was prepared by seed-mediated growth procedure. The array structure of Au@Ag NCs was achieved at the interface through the autonomous assembly technique at the three-phase boundary. Employing polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) as a flexible carrier, the array structure was effortlessly transferred to the PDMS membrane, bypassing the need for rigid substrates through a simple “pasting” method. This yielded a highly flexible and transparent SERS substrate with an array structure (Au@Ag NCs/PDMS membrane, AAP). In order to promote the selective detection property to the practical samples, molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) were coated on the surface of membrane to prepare the imprinted membrane (Au@Ag NCs/PDMS-MIMs, AAP-MIMs). It was demonstrated from the results that the AAP-MIMs exhibited high SERS sensitivity, stability, and uniformity. Furthermore, the flexible substrate possessed commendable mechanical strength, and facilitated the detection of analytes on irregular surfaces. In summary, this substrate held promising potential for practical on-site detection and analysis of specific target substances.

Microcystin-LR (MC-LR), which is produced from cyanobacteria, is the common microcystin with a serious threat to aquatic life and human beings. And the efficient removal method of MC-LR is urgent needed. In this work, the MIL-100/MIL-53 (Fe) photocatalysts, which were successfully prepared by the electrostatic interaction with each other, were applied for the photocatalytic degradation of MC-LR. The structure and optical properties of the MIL-100/MIL-53 (Fe) photocatalysts were characterized by using SEM, XRD, XPS, FT-IR and UV–vis DRS. The very low dosage of the MIL-100/MIL-53 (Fe) photocatalysts achieved the degradation of MC-LR, and the optimized loading was the 50% MIL-100/MIL-53 (Fe) photocatalyst. Compared to MIL-100 (Fe) and MIL-53 (Fe), the MC-LR degradation was up to 96.5% after 3 h under visible light illumination with the 50% MIL-100/MIL-53 (Fe) photocatalyst due to the pore-effect adsorption and the effective separation of photogenerated carriers. The effect of coordinate immobilized layers between MIL-100 (Fe) and MIL-53 (Fe) contributed to the stable and efficient removal of MC-LR for the 50% MIL-100/MIL-53 (Fe) photocatalyst. The MC-LR photocatalytic mechanism and degradation pathway, which the photogenerated holes (h + ) were the main active species, were proposed by radical capture experiments and LC-MS analysis.

Microcystin-LR (MC-LR) is a widely distributed cyanotoxin that causes kidney injury. Our previous work identified Sphingopyxis sp. YF1 as a novel bacterial strain capable of efficiently degrading MC-LR, but its protective role and mechanisms against MC-LR-induced kidney injury remain unexplored. In this study, the bioactive metabolite of strain YF1 was identified by mass spectrometry. The beneficial effect of strain YF1 and its bioactive metabolite against MC-LR-induced kidney injury was validated in vivo and in vitro . We found strain YF1 effectively ameliorated MC-LR induced kidney disruption and functional impairment. Mechanistically, strain YF1 significantly improved oxidative stress (SOD, CAT, GSH, and MDA) and inhibited pro-inflammatory factors expression (including IL-6 , IL-18 , IL-1β , and TNF-α ) induced by MC-LR. Notably, strain YF1 not only reduce MC-LR level in mice but also produce a bioactive metabolite astaxanthin. Consistently, both in vivo and in vitro experiments demonstrated that astaxanthin alleviated MC-LR-induced kidney injury by modulating antioxidant pathways and inflammatory cascades. This study suggested that strain YF1 could alleviate MC-LR-induced kidney injury by removing MC-LR and generating astaxanthin that mediated antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. These findings highlighted microbial-based antidotes for simultaneously eliminating MC-LR and mitigating its harmful effects.

Microcystin-LR (MC-LR) is a severe threat to human and animal health; thus, monitoring it in the environment is essential, especially in water quality protections. Herein, in this work, we synthesize PVDF/CNT/Ag molecular imprinted membranes (PCA-MIMs) via an innovative combination of surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) detection, membrane separation, and molecular-imprinted technique toward the analysis of MC-LR in water. In particular, a light-initiated imprint is employed to protect the chemical structure of the MC-LR molecules. Furthermore, in order to ensure the detection sensitivity, the SERS substrates are combined with the membrane via the assistance of magnetism. The effect of synthesis conditions on the SERS sensitivity was investigated in detail. It is demonstrated from the characteristic results that the PCA-MIMs present high sensitivity to the MC-LR molecules with excellent selectivity against the interfere molecules. Results clearly show that the as-prepared PCA-MIMs hold great potential applications to detect trace MC-LR for the protection of water quality.

This work presents a novel flexible imprinted membrane-made surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) for selective detection of microcystins-LR (MC-LR) in water. Silver nanocubes decorated with titanium dioxide (Ag NCs@TiO 2 ) nanoparticles (NPs) are dispersed on a flexible polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) membrane as the SERS substrate. The PDMS exhibits excellent optical properties, ensuring the detection accuracy. A photo-initiated polymerization process is employed to maintain the molecular integrity of MC-LR while improving the resistance of the SERS substrates to air-induced oxidation. By optimizing the reaction condition, optimal SERS imprinted membrane is applied to selective detection of practical samples. The characterization results indicate that the Ag NCs@TiO 2 molecular imprinted membranes (ATP-MIMs) present accurate detection property to the MC-LR molecules from complex solution. Rapid detection within around 1 min is achieved by the as-prepared flexible molecularly imprinted SERS sensor. The limit of detection of MC-LR is 0.0313 μg·L −1 and the ATP-MIMs exhibit a high stability of more than 86.6 % after 28 days. It clearly exhibits from results that ATP-MIMs hold significant potential applications to trace MC-LR detection and provide a novel approach to the water quality monitoring.

Microcystin-LR (MC-LR) is a strong liver toxin, which will enter the human body by eating MC-LR-contaminated aquatic products. Therefore, it is urgent to explore whether people are exposed to MC-LR-contaminated aquatic products. Herein, a sensing strategy based on aptamer-recognized SERS tag coupled with magnetic separation was developed for ultrasensitive and specific detection of MC-LR in fish organs. This sensor had a dynamic range of 0.1 ng/L to100 µg/L and a limit of detection down to 0.1 ng/L for MC-LR. This ultrasensitive and rapid separation strategy allow us to explore the bioaccumulated amount of MC-LR in different fish organs. The results show that the order of MC-LR content accumulated in different organs of local crucian carps were heart > liver > kidney > meat > spleen. The MC-LR content in fish meat was 1.1–8.5 times of the WHO proposed tolerable daily intake level (TDI), implying the aquatic products in local aquatic market had potential threats to human health.

Development of immobilized composite photocatalysts for efficient inactivation of algal cells is important because of the features of easy recycling and high stability. Herein, ultrathin g-C 3 N 4 (SCN) are embedded into cellulose acetate (CA) matrix to form CA/SCN composite membranes. The obtained photocatalytic membranes exhibit the properties of thickness uniformity, flexible and higher light absorption compared to the bulk one. Under visible light, 92% of algal can be removed by the optimal CA/SCN photocatalytic membrane (CA/SCN-200). During photocatalytic algal inactivation, algal cells occur photosynthetic activity decrease, antioxidant system collapse and membrane damage. In addition, algal organic matters and MC-LR can also be removed during the photocatalytic process. More importantly, large area membrane which also exhibits high algal removal performance can be prepared easily. This work provides a new way to develop high performance photocatalytic membranes for algal removal.

A homogeneous time-resolved fluoroimmunoassay method for rapid and sensitive detection of microcystin-LR (MC-LR) in water samples was developed based on the interaction between water-soluble WS2 nanosheets and the conjugate of MC-LR with a luminescent Eu3+ complex BHHBCB-Eu3+ (BHHBCB: 1,2-bis[4'-(1'',1'',1'',2'',2'',3'',3''-heptafluoro-4'',6''-hexanedion-6''-yl)- benzyl]-4-chlorosulfobenzene). The large lateral dimensions and high surface areas of two-dimensional layered WS2 nanosheets enable easy adsorption of the MC-LR-BHHBCB-Eu3+ conjugate, that lead to efficient quenching of the luminescence of Eu3+ complex via energy transfer or electron transfer process. However, the addition of monoclonal anti-MC-LR antibody can induce the formation of MC-LR-BHHBCB-Eu3+/antibody immune complex, which prevents the interaction between WS2 nanosheets and MC-LR-BHHBCB-Eu3+ to result in the restoration of Eu3+ luminescence. This signal transduction mechanism made it possible for analysis of the target MC-LR in a homogeneous system. The present method has advantages of rapidity and simplicity since the B/F (bound reagent/free reagent) separation steps, the solid-phase carrier and antibody labeling or modification process are not necessary. The proposed immunosensing system displayed a wide linear range, good precision and accuracy, and comparable sensitivity with a detection limit of 0.3 μg l−1, which satisfied the World Health Organization (WHO) provisional guideline limit of 1.0 μg l−1 for MC-LR in drinking water.

The presence of microplastics (MPs) in eutrophic waters (both freshwaters and coastal waters) is increasingly reported globally, as has the occurrence of cyanotoxins, including microcystins (MCs). MPs have the potential to act as vectors for MCs in freshwater environments , but the transportation mechanisms and associated risks remain poorly understood. In this study, we investigated how aging process and water conditions influenced the adsorption behavior of the microcystin-leucine-arginine (MC-LR) onto polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP). Adsorption kinetics and isotherms showed that the MC-LR sorption capacity in descending order was aged PP > pristine PP > aged PE > pristine PE. The aging process increased the MC-LR sorption amount by 25.1% and 6.5% for PP and PE, respectively. The increase in sorption affinity of aged MPs may be attributed to the significant surface oxidation and the formation of the hydrogen bonding between MPs and MC-LR. Furthermore, MC-LR sorption can be largely influenced by the aqueous conditions. MC-LR preferred to be much adsorbed onto different MPs in brackish water than in freshwater owing to the cation bridging effect and complexation of high levels of cations. The usual alkalescent pH in eutrophic waters did not favor MC-LR sorption to MPs. Finally, based on the desorption results, assuming a worst-case scenario, MC-LR bound on MPs may have a high risk to daphnids. The findings obtained in this study have improved our knowledge in the interaction of MPs with hydrophilic cyanotoxins in aqueous ecosystems, as well as the risks associated with their coexistence.

This work has assembled ZnSe:Mn/ZnS quantum dots (QDs)-monoclonal anti-microcystin-Leucine Arginine (anti-MC-LR) antibody bioconjugates as a room temperature phosphorescence (RTP) probe using 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethyllaminopropyl) carbodiimide/N-Hydroxysuccinimide chemistry for detecting MC-LR. Once the specific interactions occurred between these MCs and their antibodies on the surface of ZnSe:Mn/ZnS QDs, the RTP of ZnSe:Mn/ZnS QDs was quenched with the increased concentration of MC-LR. Under the optimised conditions, the linear range of MC-LR was determined to be 0.9–8.8 nM. The linear relationship between ( P 0 – P )/ P 0 and concentration of MC-LR were observed with the regression equation ( P 0 – P )/ P 0 = 0.03908C + 0.0456 with the detection limit of 0.038 nM. The developed RTP immunoassay favoured environmental applications since the interference from autofluorescence and scattering light was greatly eliminated.

In this study, for the first time, we developed a series of co-graft tannin-based flocculants , TA-g-P(AM-DMDAAC), with different charge densities (CDs) and molecular weights (MWs) and evaluated their algal-removal performances. The effects of TA-g-P(AM-DMDAAC) on the cell integrity of Microcystis aeruginosa and release of extracellular organic matter (EOM) and microcystin-leucine-arginine (MC-LR) in flocculation and floc storage were also studied. Results suggested that TA-g-P(AM-DMDAAC) could not only efficiently remove algal cells over a wide pH range (pH 3–11) but also EOM. CD and MW significantly affected flocculation performance and floc characteristics of TA-g-P(AM-DMDAAC). A higher CD helped achieve a higher removal efficiency of algal cells and EOM, whereas a higher MW resulted in the formation of larger and more compact flocs. Furthermore, the larger and denser flocs could better protect algal cells and reduce the release of EOM during floc storage. Notably, algal cells in the TA-g-P(AM-DMDAAC) flocs did not appear to show signs of massive rupture nor did they release EOM and MC-LR extensively for at least 20 days of storage. The abundance and easy availability of tannin resources effectively reduce the cost of preparing tannin-based flocculants. Therefore, TA-g-P(AM-DMDAAC) can have broad application prospects in the management of cyanobacteria bloom.

Electrochemical sensors that incorporate immunoassay principles have the ability to monitor dynamic processes of antigen–antibody interactions in real time. In this study, a gold electrode was modified with tin dioxide colloidal quantum wire (SnO 2 QWs) and then coated with the leucine/arginine subtype microcystin (MC-LR) antibody. The active site of SnO 2 QWs that was not bound by MC-LR antibody was then passivated with bovine serum protein (BSA). When the MC-LR antigen binds specifically to the antibodies on the electrode's surface, it triggers electrochemical reactions and generates electrical signals at specific voltage conditions. The SnO 2 QW exhibits excellent electron transport ability, and its ability to form a loose and porous microstructure on the gold electrode surface, which is conducive to the receptor function of the biosensor. The results show a high affinity between the MC-LR antigen and antibody, ranging from 1 pg/mL to 10 ng/mL of MC-LR antigen concentration. The kinetic characteristics of the immune reaction between MC-LR antigen and antibody were elucidated, obtaining a binding constant of 1.399 × 10 11 M −1 and a dissociation constant of 7.147 pM, demonstrating the potential of electrochemical biosensing technology in biomolecular interactions.
