Aflatoxin B 1 (AFB 1 ) is the most common mycotoxin with the highest toxicity, posing a threat for food contamination. In this study, the bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa M-4 was isolated from rotten wood, and its culture supernatant showed a 56.79% AFB 1 degradation rate. Treatment with proteinase K, sodium dodecyl sulfate, and trichloroacetic acid decreased the AFB 1 degradation rate in the culture supernatant to 20.71%, 10.83%, and 19.62%, respectively. Moreover, heating the culture supernatant at 121 °C for 30 min increased in the AFB 1 degradation rate to 84.76%, indicating effective degradation by heat-resistant and inducible extracellular proteins or enzymes. P. aeruginosa M-4 reduced the content of AFB 1 in contaminated maize (90.57%, 14 d). Additionally, high-performance liquid chromatography and ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry analyses showed that AFB 1 was biotransformed into structurally different compounds, (C 17 H 16 O 6 ), (C 16 H 14 O 5 ), (C 17 H 14 O 5 ), and (C 16 H 10 O 6 ). According to the structure-activity relationship, these degradation products were produced by the destruction of partial toxic sites of AFB 1 , so the toxicity of these products may be lower than that of AFB 1 . Thus, P . aeruginosa M-4 has excellent potential for application in the detoxification of AFB 1 in food and feed.

Diethanolamine (DEA) has been extensively utilized as an alkaline buffer in current assays of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity in the past decades. While playing the role of a buffer, the chemical reactivity of DEA has been widely ignored in such assays. Herein, we report an interesting chromogenic interaction between DEA and 4-aminophenol (AP) in the presence of H2O for the first time, which inspires us to develop a novel DEA-participated ALP activity assay by using 4-aminophenyl phosphate (APP) as a substrate. This APP/DEA-based colorimetric approach has been proved to be comparable and even superior to the conventional p-nitrophenyl phosphate (pNPP)-based one, especially in the low ALP activity region, due to its higher sensitivity. The clear response mechanism and excellent sensing performance ensure that it can be further applied to determining ALP activity in real biological samples, screening potential ALP inhibitors in vitro, establishing ALP-enabled ELISA, and even fluorophore-assisted fluorescent ALP activity assay. It is demonstrated that this strategy not only possesses a good feasibility, but also exhibits a promising outlook for a series of ALP-related and -extended detections.

The insecticidal activity of 1,3,4-oxadiazole-ring containing pyridylpyrazole-4-carboxamides against diamondback ( Plutella xylostella ) and noctuid ( Spodoptera frugiperda ) moths were evaluated. Only substitutions on the 1,3,4-oxadiazole moiety dictated bioreactivity, with 8q2 m -CF 3 Ph being the most effective against Plutella xylostella, showing 80%–93% mortality at a concentration of 0.5–500 μg ml −1 while the others remained inactive or less active (highest mortality being 63%). The larvicidal activity against Spodoptera frugiperda was inferior compared with that of Plutella xylostella , with the highest mortality being 33%. A crystal of 8q5 was obtained and analyzed, revealing the effects of intramolecular H-bonds and intermolecular π π interactions.

4-Nitrophenol (4-NP) is a common stuff involved in industrial production as well as a toxic pollutant which poses a threat to the environment and human health if not handled properly. Here, we have designed and synthesized two new metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), namely Ce-MOF-1 and Ce-MOF-2 with both fluorescent and electrochemical activities, which exhibite dual-mode sensing of 4-NP. The fluorescence emission spectra at 366 nm of both Ce-MOF-1 and Ce-MOF-2 displayed a significant turn-off signal affected by the competitive absorption and photoelectron transfer of 4-NP with the detection limits of 1.25 and 0.78 μM, respectively. Simutanously, in electrochemical sensing, 4-NP is irreversibly reduced to 4-hydroxylamine phenol under the catalysis of Ce-MOFs coating on electrode, which exhibit higher accuracy than fluorescence with detection limits of 0.36 and 0.41 μM, respectively, for the quantitatively sensing of 4-NP. Due to their complementary immunity to interference in electrochemical and fluorescence methods for 4-NP detection, Ce-MOFs exhibit more accurate 4-NP detection ability compared to other sensors. Finallly, both Ce-MOFs demonstrate excellent stability, reproducibility and selectivity in dual-mode sensing of 4-NP in tap water, that provides superior adaptability, reliability and accuracy compared to the traditional single-mode sensing method.

A series of 4-(propargyloxy) benzenesulfonamide derivatives with different substituents on the benzene ring were synthesized and evaluated for their insecticidal activity. Some of the compounds showed good insecticidal activity against Mythimna separata, and the LC50 value of the most active compound B2.5 was 0.235 mg/ml. Ultrastructural changes in the midgut epithelial cells of Mythimna separata were observed using transmission electron microscopy, and severe structural damage was found in microvilli, mitochondria and rough endoplasmic reticulum. It indicates that the possible site of action of these benzenesulfonamides is the cytoplasmic membrane and endomembrane system of the midgut epithelial cells. The above provides a basis for the development of novel insecticidal active compounds with a novel mechanism of action.

4-Vinylphenol is an important chemical that can be used as the monomer for the production of poly(4-vinylphenol) (PVPh). Currently, 4-vinylphenol was prepared by the dehydrogenation of 4-ethylphenol over chromia/alumina catalyst at 600 °C. In this study, a low-cost process involving low-temperature fast pyrolysis of biomass without any catalyst was developed to selectively produce 4-vinylphenol. Pyrolysis gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (Py–GC/MS) was used for the fast pyrolysis of bagasse, cornstalk, bamboo, rice husk, rice straw, cotton straw, and poplar wood to investigate the effects of different materials on the selectivity of 4-vinylphenol. It was found that some of the herbaceous materials, such as bagasse, cornstalk, and bamboo, were suitable for the production of 4-vinylphenol, whereas woody materials were not applicable. The effects of temperature on 4-vinylphenol production were also investigated. 4-Vinylphenol contents of up to 7 and 20 wt % were achieved at 300 °C from bagasse and bagasse EMAL, respectively. For the first time, 4-vinylphenol was separated from the pyrolysis oil obtained by the fast pyrolysis of bagasse using a benchtop unit, and its structure was confirmed by various methods. Additionally, it was verified that 4-vinylphenol could be produced from compounds with a β-5 linkage, and a possible mechanism for the generation of 4-vinylphenol from a lignin model compound with a β-5 linkage is proposed.

This paper is focused on the selection of cosolvents in the remediation of contaminated soils. The aim of this study was to investigate the combined effects of Triton X-100 (TX-100) and different cosolvents on the solubilization behavior of 4,4′-dibromodiphenyl ether (BDE-15) and the washing of BDE-15 from a contaminated soil. 1 H NMR spectroscopies were used to elucidate the interactions among TX-100, cosolvents, and BDE-15 in aqueous micellar solution. Results showed that the solubility of BDE-15 was enhanced by the observed synergism among TX-100, BDE-15, and cosolvents, and the TX-100/dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) system exhibited the best performance in the solubilization of BDE-15. Similar synergism was further evidenced in the washing of BDE-15 from a contaminated soil. With 10 % ( v / v ) DMSO and 6.4 mM TX-100 solution added, considerable synergistic effect was achieved in TX-100/DMSO system, leading to the highest removal efficiency (92.9 %) of BDE-15 from the soil, relative to that of 67.3 % with TX-100 alone at the same concentration.

We have developed a simple, sensitive and selective colorimetric method for the detection of cadmium(II) (Cd 2+ ) using gold nanoparticles modified with 4-amino-3-hydrazino-5-mercapto-1,2,4-triazole. Organic solvents or additives are not required. It is found that Cd 2+ induces the aggregation of the modified Au-NPs via chelation, leading to a color change from red to blue. This change can be seen with bare eyes, and monitored by UV–vis spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy and dynamic light scattering. The detection limit is 30 nM (at a signal-to-noise ratio of 3). The new approach was successfully applied to the detection of Cd 2+ in spiked samples of tap water and lake water, and the results agree well with those obtained by flame atomic absorption spectroscopy.

The presence of Cd 2+ induced the aggregation of the AHMT-AuNPs through the chelation process. This approach was successfully applied for the detection of Cd 2+ in spiked samples of tap water and lake water.

4- tert -butylphenol (4-tBP) is a phenolic endocrine disrupting chemical that has attracted great attention due to its wide occurrence, environmental persistence, and possible toxic effects. In this study, we systematically investigated the transformation of 4-tBP in ferrate (VI) oxidation process. The second-order reaction rate constant ( k app ) of Fe(VI) with 4-tBP decreases with solution pH, and the k app value was determined as 295 M −1 ·s −1 at pH 8.0. The removal efficiency of 4-tBP was slightly decreased by Mg 2+ and HCO 3 – , while accelerated at varying degrees by the presence of Cu 2+ and humic acid. Product analysis revealed that 4-tBP was mainly transformed into hydroxylation products, benzene-ring cleavage products, dimers and higher polymerization products via oxygen atom transfer, ring-opening of the benzene ring and radical coupling reaction. Furthermore, initial reactions of 4-tBP were rationalized by theoretical analysis of atom partial charges, frontier electron densities, and spin densities. Nearly complete removal of 4-tBP (20 μM) was achieved after 5 min of reaction in both ultrapure water and natural waters, demonstrating the feasibility of this Fe(VI) oxidation method in treating phenols-contaminated waters.

Novel bio-based and biodegradable block copolymers were synthesized by “click” reaction between poly(L-lactide) (PLLA) and polyamide 4 (PA4). Upon tuning the molar mass of PLLA block, the properties of copolymers and electrospun ultrafine fibers were investigated and compared with those of PLLA and PA4 blends. PLLA and PA4 were found incompatible and formed individual crystalline regions, along with reciprocal inhibition in crystallization. Electrospun fibers were highly hydrophobic, even if hydrophilic PA4 was the rich component. The crystallinity of either PLLA or PA4 decreased after electrospinning and PLLA-rich as-spun fibers were almost amorphous. Immersion tests proved that fibers of block copolymers were relatively homogeneous with micro-phase separation between PLLA and PA4. The fibrous structures of copolymers were different from those of the fibers electrospun from blends, for which sheath-core structure induced by macro-phase separation between homopolymers of PLLA and PA4 was confirmed by TEM, EDS, and XPS.

As a novel nanomaterial after graphene, molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) has potential applications in electrochemical sensing and other fields, while the low electric conductivity of MoS2 limits its application significantly. In this paper, carbon spheres (CSs) wrapped with molybdenum disulfide (CSs@MoS2) novel nanostructure was successfully prepared via a green hydrothermal method and then used for firstly electrochemical sensing of 4-aminophenol (4-AP, one toxic pollutant). The morphology and structure of CSs@MoS2 were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. As an electrochemical sensor, CSs@MoS2 nanohybrids modified electrode exhibits excellent electrochemical sensing performance toward 4-AP analysis owing to the synergetic advantages of MoS2 and CSs. Under the optimized conditions, the detection limit of 4-AP obtained in this work is 3 nM and the linear range is 0.01–18.00 μM.

A relatively high molecular weight of 4-arm star PELA was obtained by ring-opening polymerization of l -lactic acid O -carboxyanhydride with 4-arm-PEG in the presence of DMAP as an initiator. The results via 1 H NMR and 13 C NMR show that the end of the star PELA chain is a hydroxyl group and the central core is a PEG group. Rotavirus (strain SA11) was incorporated into 4-arm star PELA microspheres formulated by the water in oil in water emulsification solvent extraction method. The microspheres produced were spherical, and the mean diameter was 1.34 μm with a narrow size distribution. The drug release profile displayed a low burst release effect of 1.8% on the first day and a sustained release of antigen over 100 days. After the immunization of mice, the microsphere-entrapped RV elicited improved and long-lasting IgA and IgG antibody response in serum detected by ELISA in comparison to the free RV antigen. This study shows that 4-arm-PEG is an effective initiator for the ring-opening polymerization of Lac-OCA by DMAP as an initiator and that the resulting polymer is useful as a delivery system for the rotavirus vaccine .
