Incorporation of aminated starch (AS)-polyphenol conjugates to improve corn starch (CS) film properties were explored. AS-polyphenols (gallic acid (GA), syringic acid (SA) and vanillic acid (VA)) conjugates were synthesized by laccase and the grafting rates of GA, SA and VA were 36.59, 69.71 and 68.85%, respectively. Incorporation of the three conjugates (AS-GA, AS-SA and AS-VA) into the corn starch film improved a variety of properties of the CS film. The CS film without the conjugates was smooth and flat, while surface of the CS film with the conjugates became relatively rough and wrinkled and there were some small particles on the surface. Incorporation of the conjugates improved the thermal stability of the CS film during the polymer depolymerization phase. The thickness of the CS film with AS-VA conjugates was significantly larger than that of the CS film and the incorporation of the conjugates improved the hydrophobicity of the CS film. The tensile strength (TS) of both the CS films with AS-GA conjugates and AS-VA conjugates was significantly enhanced, while the TS of the CS film with AS-SA conjugates was significantly reduced. The incorporation of AS-polyphenol conjugates could improve the antioxidant ability and antibacterial ability of the CS film, especially the CS films containing AS-GA conjugates.

Composite porous microcarriers based on demineralized bone extracellular matrix (DBECM) and chitosan (Cs) were prepared using a combined emulsion and freeze-drying method. The effects of digestion by pepsin on the DBECM properties were investigated. The morphologies and porous structure of the DBECM/Cs porous microcarriers were observed by using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The cytocompatibility of the DBECM/Cs porous microcarriers were studied by using cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) and calcein acetoxymethyl ester/propidium iodide (CAM/PI). DBECM was digested into small pieces with a loose porous sponge structure and the digested DBECM showed an amorphous state. The resultant DBECM/Cs porous microcarriers showed a spherical shape and an interconnective porous structure. The CCK-8 and CAM/PI analyses indicated that the DBECM/Cs porous microcarriers were non-cytotoxic and showed good biocompatibility, providing a more favorable growth environment for cells.

Rhenium separation from molybdenum in molybdenite minerals and waste leachate has become an emerging challenge. Addressing this challenge, we prepared a set of protein-based alkylamine/alkylammonium salts complexes as extradants for selective uptake of rhenium from molybdenum, where the protein component turned into the insoluble amyloid-like structure when its internal disulfide bonds were reduced, namely phase-transition process. Among them, the phase-transited lysozyme and methyletrioctyleammonium chloride complex (PTL-N263) exhibited the most efficient adsorption at the alkaline condition for the electrostatic interaction between negatively charged metal ions with positively charged center (R 4 N + ) in N263, where negatively charged protein residues hindered the ion exchange of Cl − in N263 for larger size Mo species (Mo 7 O 24 6− ) than smaller size Re species (ReO 4− ). The adsorption follows the Freundlich model and pseudo-second-order kinetics, which exhibits top-level adsorption performance with a maximum adsorption capacity of 124 mg/g and a separation factor ( β Re/Mo ) of 2.78 × 10 3 for Re. The adsorption capacity per unit area (57.2 mg/(g m 2 )) is 1.6–41 times higher than previously reported adsorbents, and the cost for adsorbing 1 g of Re (VII) is $1.07, indicating its industrial capability. This adsorption strategy can be applied to separating Re from Mo in binary solutions and industrial wastewater with other competing ions.

AimsWe aimed to explore Yarrowia lipolytica carbonyl reductases as effective biocatalysts and to develop efficient asymmetric reduction systems for chiral alcohol synthesis.Methods and ResultsYarrowia lipolytica carbonyl reductase genes were obtained via homologous sequence amplification strategy. Two carbonyl reductases, YaCRI and YaCRII, were identified and characterized, and used to catalyse the conversion of 2‐hydroxyacetophenone (2‐HAP) to optically pure (S)‐1‐phenyl‐1,2‐ethanediol. Enzymatic assays revealed that YaCRI and YaCRII exhibited specific activities of 6·96 U mg−1 (99·8% e.e.) and 7·85 U mg−1 (99·9% e.e.), respectively, and showed moderate heat resistance at 40–50°C and acid tolerance at pH 5·0–6·0. An efficient whole‐cell two‐phase system was established using reductase‐expressing recombinant Escherichia coli. The conversion of 2‐HAP (20·0 g l−1) conversion with the solvent of dibutyl phthalate was approximately 70‐fold higher than in water. Furthermore, the two recombinant E. coli displayed biocatalyst activity and enantioselectivity towards several different carbonyl compounds, and E. coli BL21 (DE3)/pET‐28a‐yacrII showed a broad substrate spectrum.ConclusionsA new whole‐cell recombinant E. coli‐based bioreduction system for enantiopure alcohol synthesis with high enantioselectivity at high substrate concentrations was developed.Significance and Impact of the StudyWe proposed a promising approach for the efficient preparation of enantiopure chiral alcohols.

The rapid and sensitive detection of H2O2 is of great importance for a series of industries. In this work, surface-modified FePt nanoparticles were loaded into metal–organic frameworks (MOFs, MIL-101(Fe)) in a facile in situ way and the resulting material (FePt@MOFs NCs) acted as a high efficient colorimetric detection agent. The as-prepared FePt@MOFs NCs possess a well-defined octahedron shape and high stability in water. Via the oxidation reaction of the chromogenic substrate 4,4′-bi-2,6-xylidine, the obtained FePt@MOFs NCs were proved to possess prominent peroxidase-mimic activity. Under the most favorable conditions, the linear range for H2O2 detection was 40 μM to 800 μM and the detection limit was 18.9 μM. Furthermore, FePt@MOFs NCs were successfully applied to the detection of H2O2 in real samples such as fruit juice. The developed colorimetric sensing platform is expected to have potential for the exact detection of H2O2 for the food, mining and bio-pharmaceutical industries, due to its high stability, sensitivity, rapidness and easy preparation.

Cadmium (Cd) contamination is a widespread environmental issue. There is a lack of knowledge about the impacts of applying arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and biochar, either alone or in their combination, on alleviating Cd phytotoxicity in Ligustrum lucidum . Therefore, a pot experiment was conducted in a greenhouse, where L. lucidum seedlings were randomly subjected to four regimes of AMF treatments (inoculation with sterilized AMF, with Rhizophagus irregularis , Diversispora versiformis , alone or a mixture of these two fungi), and two regimes of biochar treatments (with or without rice-husk biochar), as well as three regimes of Cd treatments (0, 15, and 150 mg kg −1 ), to examine the responses of growth, photosynthetic capabilities, soil enzymatic activities, nutritional concentrations, and Cd absorption of L. lucidum plants to the interactive effects of AMF, biochar, and Cd. The results demonstrated that under Cd contaminations, AMF alone significantly increased plant total dry weight, soil pH, and plant nitrogen (N) concentration by 84%, 3.2%, and 13.2%, respectively, and inhibited soil Cd transferring to plant shoot by 42.2%; biochar alone significantly enhanced net photosynthetic rate, soil pH, and soil catalase of non-mycorrhizal plants by 16.4%, 9%, and 11.9%, respectively, and reduced the soil Cd transferring to plant shoot by 44.7%; the additive effect between AMF and biochar greatly enhanced plant total dry weight by 101.9%, and reduced the soil Cd transferring to plant shoot by 51.6%. Furthermore, dual inoculation with D. versiformis and R. irregularis conferred more benefits on plants than the single fungal species did. Accordingly, amending Cd-contaminated soil with the combination of mixed-fungi inoculation and biochar application performed the best than either AMF or biochar alone. These responses may have been attributed to higher mycorrhizal colonization, soil pH, biomass accumulation, and biomass allocation to the roots, as well as photosynthetic capabilities. In conclusion, the combined use of mixed-fungi involving D. versiformis and R. irregularis and biochar addition had significant synergistic effects on enhancing plant performance and reducing Cd uptake of L. lucidum plants in Cd-contaminated soil.

The efficient delivery of chemotherapeutic drugs to the tumor tissues unavoidably encounters numerous obstacles, such as poor tumor targeting capability, slow intracellular drug release and massive accumulation in the liver. In this study, by self-assembling methoxy poly (ethylene glycol)-poly (lactide) block copolymer (mPEG-PLA) and hyaluronic acid-paclitaxel conjugate (HA-PTX), the composite nanoparticles (mPPHP NPs) were fabricated for efficient therapy of cancer. mPPHP NPs formed self-assembled nanoparticles (116 nm in diameter) with a narrow size distribution; and showed a rapid release of PTX in the presence of hyaluronidase and esterase . mPPHP NPs exhibited enhanced internalization by cells via CD44 receptors and selected cytotoxicity against A549 cells in vitro . More importantly, compared with other PTX formulations, mPPHP NPs were demonstrated to present the reduced liver accumulation, excellent tumor-targeting ability and superior antitumor efficacy in vivo , with a TIR of 75.9%. The multifunctional composite nanoparticles could be developed as a promising nano-carrier for improved therapeutic efficacy.

A sensitive sandwich-type electrochemical immunosensor was developed for the detection of avian leukosis virus subgroup J (ALV-J), which benefitted from multiple signal amplification involving graphene-perylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylic acid nanocomposites (GR-PTCA), nanocellulose-Au NP composites (NC-Au) and the alkaline phosphatase (ALP) catalytic reaction . GR-PTCA nanocomposites on glassy carbon electrodes served as the immunosensor platform. Due to their excellent electrical conductivity and abundant polycarboxylic sites, the GR-PTCA nanocomposites allowed fast electron transfer and good immobilization of primary antibodies, thereby affording a strong immunosensor signal in the presence of ALV-J. The detected signal could be further amplified by the introduction of NC-Au composites as a carrier of secondary antibodies (Ab 2 ) and by harnessing the catalytic properties of Au and ALP. Under optimized testing conditions, the electrochemical immunosensor displayed excellent analytical performance for the detection of ALV-J, showing a linear current response from 10 2.08 to 10 4.0 TCID 50 /mL (TCID 50 : 50% tissue culture infective dose) with a low detection limit of 10 1.98 TCID 50 /mL (S/N = 3). In addition to high sensitivity, the immunosensor showed very good selectivity, reproducibility and operational stability, demonstrating potential application for the quantitative detection of ALV-J in clinical diagnosis.

In this study, a visual and ultrasensitive method for the determination of trace mercury ions in water was developed based on the high efficiency of urease catalysis and pH-sensitive inverse opal polymeric photonic crystals (IOPPCs). Mercury ions can inhibit urea hydrolysis and suppress the production of ammonium and bicarbonate ions in the solution, resulting in the redshift of IOPPCs. Therefore, the redshift of IOPPCs Bragg diffraction is directly related to the concentration of mercury ions. Meanwhile, the color of IOPPCs varied significantly with the shift of the Bragg diffraction wavelength, thus achieving the visual semi-quantitative detection of mercury ions by the naked eye. The minimum detection concentration of this method is 5 × 10 −16 g/L, which is much lower than the maximum contaminant level for the safe drinking of water (2 × 10 −6 g/L) recommended by the environmental protection agency (EPA), USA. In addition, this is a simple and quick method for effective on-site detection of mercury ions, which shows a great promise in emergency leakage monitoring and control.

Acidified aqueous solutions of different quaternary ammonium salts were tested for pretreating corn stover compared to control solutions, including single acidic solution and acidified NaCl and NH 4 Cl solutions. The results revealed that quaternary ammonium salt solutions were more effective in delignification and cellulose saccharification than the control solutions. The chemical structure of these salts significantly influenced the pretreatment efficacy. Notably, benzyltrimethylammonium chloride (BTMAC), a cost-effective option, exhibited remarkable capabilities. It achieved approximately 90% xylan removal, 86% lignin removal, and a 48-h enzymatic glucose yield of up to 93%. The BTMAC solution proved to be recycled for at least four runs while maintaining satisfactory performance. This work contributes valuable insights into the promising potential of standalone QAS solutions, offering a viable and cost-effective option for biomass pretreatment.

In this study, a polyoxometalate (POM) and graphene oxide (GO) were hydrothermally treated to form a novel three-dimensional (3D) macroporous hybrid 3D-mp-rGO–POM for nitrite sensing. Scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy and electrochemical methods were used to characterize the hybrid. The 3D porous rGO not only obviously enhances the conductivity and largely increases the active surface area, but also greatly facilitates the mass transport and efficiently decreases the leaching of the POM from the modified electrode. The synergistic interaction between the POM and 3D porous rGO endows 3D-mp-rGO–POM with a highly stable and efficient electrocatalytic activity towards the oxidation of nitrite. A nonenzymatic sensor for nitrite based on this hybrid shows two linear response ranges of 0.5 μM to 221 μM and 0.221 mM to 15.221 mM, with a detection limit of 0.2 μM (S/N = 3), which displays higher sensitivity, higher stability, a wider linear range and a lower detection limit than sensors based on POMs or 2D-rGO supported POM hybrids. Interference from H2O2 was effectively avoided by monitoring the oxidation current of nitrite instead of its reduction current. The 3D-mp-rGO–POM hybrid with facile preparation, high stability and good catalytic activity may have promising applications in catalysis, sensors, and so on.

Incorporating a secondary metal and engineering heterogeneous nanostructures can significantly enhance the electrochemical performance of non-enzymatic glucose sensors. Herein, NiCo 2 O 4 nanowire (NW) arrays were enveloped with NiCo 2 O 4 nanosheets (NSs) using a simple hydrothermal method. NSs improved the electronic conductivity of NW arrays, while arrays prevented the aggregation of NSs, resulting in exceptional glucose sensing performance. In 0.1 mol·L −1 NaOH electrolyte, this composite electrode demonstrated remarkable sensitivity (7641 µA·mmol −1 ·L·cm −2 ), broad linear detection range (1 to 1250 µmol·L −1 ), low detection limit (0.16 µmol·L −1 ), and rapid response time (within 1 s), as well as excellent selectivity, reproducibility, and stability. Such a unique architecture of NiCo 2 O 4 NW arrays enhanced the specific surface area of the composite material, facilitating the efficient electron transfer between copper foam and NiCo 2 O 4 NSs. This work provides an economical and efficient approach for developing enzyme-free glucose sensing catalysts with superior electrochemical properties.
