Colletotrichum, the causative agent of anthracnose, is an important pathogen that invades the tea plant (Camellia sinensis). In this study, 38 isolates were obtained from the diseased leaves of tea plants collected in different areas of Zhejiang Province, China. A combination of multigene (ITS, ACT, GAPDH, TUB2, CAL, and GS) and morphology analyses showed that the 38 strains belonged to two different species, namely, C. camelliae (CC), and C. fructicola (CF). Pathogenicity tests revealed that CC was more invasive than CF. In vitro inoculation experiments demonstrated that CC formed acervuli at 72 hpi and developed appressoria on wound edges, but CF did not develop these structures. Under treatment with catechins and caffeine, the growth inhibition rates of CF were remarkably higher than those of CC, indicating that the nonpathogenic species CF was more vulnerable to catechins and caffeine. Growth condition testing indicated that CF grew at a wide temperature range of 15–35°C and that the optimum temperature for CC growth was 25°C. Growth of both CC and CF did not differ between acidic and weakly alkaline environments (pH 5–8), but the growth of CC was significantly reduced at pH values of 9 and 10. Furthermore, the PacC/RIM101 gene, which associated with pathogenicity, was identified from CC and CF genomes, and its expression was suppressed in the hyphae of both species under pH value of 5 and 10, and much lower expression level was detected in CC than that in CF at pH 6. These results indicated that temperature has more important effect than pH for the growth of two Colletotrichum species. In conclusion, the inhibition by secondary metabolite is an important reason why the pathogenicity by CC and CF are different to tea plant, although the environmental factors including pH and temperature effect the growth of two Colletotrichum species.

Rapid, reliable, and highly selective detection of SO 2 and its derivatives has an especially important practical significance in terms of environmental monitoring and human health. In this study, we describe a novel Co 2+ triggered radical reaction pathway for visual colorimetric detection of SO 2 and SO 3 2− . The reaction between Co 2+ and SO 2 or SO 3 2− with the assistance of dissolved oxygen produces highly active sulfate radical, leading to the oxidation of o-phenylenediamine (OPD). The oxidation products containing 2,3-dinitro-phenazinemethane, OPD dimer, and OPD trimer show strong UV–vis absorption. Consequently, SO 2 and SO 3 2− are quantitatively determined using the Co 2+ -OPD colorimetric detection system. This colorimetric assay exhibits a 60–650 μM and 30–70 ppm linear ranges for detection of SO 3 2− and SO 2 , respectively. The corresponding limit of detection is calculated to be 4.07 μM and 1.26 ppm for SO 3 2− and SO 2 . What is more, a distinct color change can be found at a SO 3 2− concentration of 50 μM by the naked-eye observation. The specific radical detection guarantees that the present colorimetric assay has a good anti-interference ability over common inorganic ions and gases.

After tea leaves, tea ( Camellia sinensis ) flowers are becoming a second tea plant resource because they contain not only functional metabolites similar to those found in tea leaves, but also predominant amounts of functional metabolites that only occur in tea leaves in small amounts. 1-Phenylethanol (1PE) is a predominant aroma compound found in tea flowers. A 1PE synthase in tea flowers was isolated, functionally characterized, and shown to have the highest catalytic efficiency for the conversion of acetophenone (AP). To determine why 1PE accumulates more in tea flowers than other plants, we compared their 1PE contents and used a stable isotope labeling method to elucidate the 1PE biosynthetic route. Supplementation with [ 2 H 8 ] l -phenylalanine and [ 2 H 5 ]AP suggested that most plants containing the enzyme/gene catalyzed the conversion of AP to 1PE. Furthermore, the availability of AP derived from l -phenylalanine was responsible for the difference in 1PE accumulation between tea flowers and other plants.

As the first reported examples of borates in the Zn–Sc–B–O system, Ba2ZnSc(BO3)3 and Ba4Zn5Sc2(BO3)8 were synthesized through a high-temperature solution method. The structure of Ba2ZnSc(BO3)3 can be described as ZnO4 tetrahedra connecting ScO6 octahedra to form a [ZnScO9]13− dimer, which further bonds with seven BO3 triangles to form a 2∞[ZnSc(BO3)3] layer, and the Ba atoms distribute in the voids between the layers. In contrast, in Ba4Zn5Sc2(BO3)8, Zn–O chains composed of 4- and 6-coordinated Zn atoms link with Sc2O8 dimers to form a Zn–Sc–O layer, and the BO3 triangles and Ba atoms fill in the voids between the layers. Interestingly, the special [Zn2(BO3)6]14− cluster is found in Ba2ZnSc(BO3)3, which is different from the 2D layers or 3D frameworks of the Zn–B–O configurations in other zincoborates. Moreover, the lowest-coordinated ScO5 polyhedra, as well as the coexistence of two types of ZnOn units (n = 4 and 6), are observed for the first time in Ba4Zn5Sc2(BO3)8. These fascinating results can promote the design of novel borates with BO3 units and enrich the borate structure chemistry.

A photoresponsive poly(o-nitrobenzyloxycarbonyl-L-lysine)-b-PEO (PNBL-b-PEO) polypeptide copolymer was synthesized and its photosensitive cleavage and self-assembly were monitored by means of UV-vis spectroscopy, 1H NMR, DLS, and TEM. Three kinds of dual-sensitive (i.e., photo/pH-thermo) polypeptide normal and reverse micellar hydrogels were then fabricated by the physical cross-linking of the self-assembled micelles. Utilizing the inclusion complexation between α-cyclodextrin (α-CD) and PEO of the normal micelles of PNBL-b-PEO or polylysine-b-PEO, photo/pH-thermo-sensitive normal micellar hydrogels were fabricated; in contrast, the reverse micelles of polylysine-b-PEO@α-CD self-assembled at pH = 3 and then were transformed into a pH-thermo-sensitive reverse micellar hydrogel at pH = 10. The multiple self-assembly and hydrogel properties were thoroughly characterized by means of UV-vis spectroscopy, circular dichroism (CD), wide angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD), DLS, zeta potential, rheology, TEM, and SEM. Notably, these dual-sensitive polypeptide hydrogels with a higher mechanical modulus (10–105 kPa) were facilely constructed and the mechanical modulus can be further tuned by varying the UV-irradiation time, the amount of α-CD added, and the copolymer concentration. Consequently, this work provides a versatile platform for constructing polypeptide copolymer hydrogels with tunable mechanical and stimuli-sensitive properties.

The risk of radionuclide leakage always threats ecological security and human health, making the recovery of uranium from nuclear wastewater a meaningful and urgent issue. However, the low-cost and efficient capture of uranium remains a challenge at present. In this study, a homemade photocatalyst of iron coordinated graphitic carbon nitride (g-C 3 N 4 ) co-doped with phosphorus and oxygen (OPFCN), which was facilely synthesized through a novel one-step thermal polymerization method, exhibited superior photoelectric efficiency and photocatalytic activity towards the photo-reductive capture of uranium(VI). The simultaneous Fe coordination and P/O co-doping in framework of g-C 3 N 4 played a synergistic effect in charge reconstruction, in which electrons migration driven by coordinated Fe and lone electron pairs delocalization from doped P/O enormously increased electron density and enhanced charge transfer, thus effectively promoting the separation of photogenerated charge carriers. The specific surface area, pore volume and average pore size of OPFCN reached 70.2 m 2 ·g −1 , 0.157 cm 3 ·g −1 and 7.78 nm, respectively, exhibiting a trend increasingly beneficial for photocatalytic adsorption and mass transfer with successive introduction of Fe, P and O into original g-C 3 N 4 . With the simultaneous introduction of Fe, P and O, the optical absorption edge underwent a significant redshift and fluorescence emission intensity dropped by 75 % compared to that of CN, demonstrating the enhanced visible light capturing ability and significantly inhibited recombination of photogenerated charge carriers in OPFCN. As a result, a uranium capture rate of over 98 % was achieved with catalyst dosage of only 5:1 at pH 5 with OPFCN, demonstrating its competitive photo-reductive activity towards uranium(VI) uptake compared with previously reported g-C 3 N 4 -based photocatalysts. Meanwhile, OPFCN exhibited remarkable reusability and stability with even over 65 % uranium recovery rate and almost unchanged peak patterns in XRD and FT-IR in fifth reuse recycle. Additionally, it was demonstrated that e − and O 2 •− were the direct active species to realize the photoreduction of uranium(VI) over OPFCN, in which e − played the dominant role. The modification method of simultaneous Fe coordination and P/O co-doping would be expected to effectively promote the utilization of g-C 3 N 4 -based photocatalysts towards photo-reductive recovery of uranium(VI) from radioactive wastewater.

Microplastics are widespread in aquatic environments and, due to their small size and similar density to water, often coexist with suspended particulate matter (SPM). Both microplastics and SPM act as carriers, playing key roles in the migration and transformation of organic contaminants. However, most studies have focused on isolated systems, necessitating an investigation into how co-existing microplastics affect the phototransformation behavior of hydrophobic pollutants on carrier surfaces. In this study, a model system was constructed with the most commonly detected polyethylene (PE) microplastics, dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (o,p’-DDT), and Yangtze River SPM. The results showed that the introduction of PE into the SPM system notably accelerated the photodegradation of o,p’-DDT, with a synergistic promotion between PE and SPM. Utilizing chemical probes, quenchers, and electrochemical experiments, we found that PE facilitated the electron transfer in SPM, thereby enhancing the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and ultimately, leading to the synergistic effect. By combining liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, we identified 17 intermediates and proposed three main transformation pathways: elimination, hydroxylation, and dechlorination. The potential mechanisms by which ROS induced these reaction pathways were further validated by density functional theory calculations. Moreover, PE formed interaction products with o,p’-DDT. Initial environmental risk assessment using VEGA and EPI Suite software indicated the products became less toxic, but were more likely to remain in water. This study deepened the understanding of the photochemical effects of microplastics and provided new insights into the environmental fate and risk of organic pollutants.

Catalyst interface determines the activity and stability of partial oxidation of methane (POM) toward syngas under high temperatures crucially. Herein, Ni catalysts supported on CeO 2 were prepared under different pretreatment atmospheres to construct an optimal and robust interface. Ni/CeO 2 catalyst pretreated in H 2 (Ni/CeO 2 -H 2 ) exhibits the higher activity and the better stability than Ni/CeO 2 -Ar and Ni/CeO 2 -air catalysts. The Ni-O-Ce interfacial site in Ni/CeO 2 -H 2 catalyst shows the lower reduction temperature, indicating the enhanced H-spillover effect and enhanced oxidation resistance of Ni under POM conditions. Moreover, the XPS and in situ Raman results show that Ni/CeO 2 -H 2 contains more surface oxygen vacancies for adsorbing and activating oxygen, further contributing to the reaction activity. The in situ DRIFTS results indicate that the CH 4 could react with the lattice oxygen to form formate and carbonate, and further decompose to CO and CO 2 . These findings deepen the fundamental understanding of Ni/CeO 2 catalysts for POM reaction.

In China, Poacynum hendersonii is frequently used as a substitute for Apoacynum venetum L (Luobuma), which is a famous traditional Chinese medicine. Quercetin-3- O -sophoroside and isoquercitrin are two major flavonoids in Poacynum hendersonii leaves. In this work, a suitable method was established for the large-scale preparation of quercetin-3- O -sophoroside (QOS) and isoquercitrin (ISO) from Poacynum hendersonii leaves using macroporous resin combined with Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography. The adsorption/desorption capacities and desorption ratios of six macroporous resins were evaluated using static experiments. The HPD-300 resin had the best adsorption performance because it had the largest surface area, and was selected for further study. Compared with pseudo-first-order and intraparticle diffusion kinetics models, the pseudo-second-order model could better fit the adsorption kinetics of both QOS and ISO on the HPD-300 resin. In addition, the adsorption isotherms of the two compounds on the HPD-300 resin were fitted well to the Langmuir model. Under optimal conditions, the purities of QOS and ISO in the product were increased from 2.16% and 1.26% to 21.34% and 10.70% with recovery yields of 82.1% and 77.3%, respectively. Subsequently, Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography was employed for improving the purities of the two compounds. After separation by Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography, the purities of QOS and ISO achieved 93.5% and 95.6%, respectively.

Isobaric vapour–liquid equilibrium (VLE) data for binary systems containing o-cresol (OC) + m-cresol (MC), OC + 2, 6-dimethylphenol (DMP), and MC + DMP at 20.0 kPa were measured by using a modified Othmer still. Its reliability was confirmed by measuring the saturated vapour pressure data for the components of MC and DMP. Herington area test was used to confirm the thermodynamic consistency for these binary systems, and the results showed good thermodynamic consistency. The binary VLE experimental data were correlated and predicted by Wilson, NRTL, and UNIFAC models. The results correlated by Wilson and NRTL models agree well with the experimental values. The results predicted by UNIFAC are in accordance with experimental data with rational deviations for systems OC + MC and OC + DMP but show relatively large deviations between the predicted values and experimental data for MC + DMP system. By defining the group =COH in DMP and MC as two different groups, the experimental data were correlated, and new groups with binary interaction parameters were obtained. The results calculated by UNIFAC with new defining groups are in accordance with the experimental data.

A novel o -phenanthroline-immobilized ionic-liquid-modified hybrid monolith for capillary electrochromatography was synthesized based on chloropropyl-silica, which was prepared by the in situ polymerization of tetramethoxysilane and 3-chloropropyltrimethoxysilane via a sol–gel process. The morphology of the hybrid monolith was characterized by scanning electron microscopy, and relatively stable anodic electroosmotic flow was observed under a broad pH ranged from pH 3.0 to 9.0. The separation mechanism was investigated by separating four neutral molecules (toluene, dimethylformamide, formamide, and thiourea). The obtained hybrid monolith possessed an obviously reversed-phase retention mechanism, but when the acetonitrile content in the mobile phase was >90% v/v, a weak hydrophilic mechanism was observed on the resultant o -phenanthroline-modified chloropropyl-silica hybrid monolith. The reproducibility of the column was also investigated by measuring relative standard deviations of the migration time for four neutral molecules. Relative standard deviations of run to run ( n = 3), day to day ( n = 3), and column to column ( n = 3) were in the range of 0.4–0.7, 0.9–2.1, and 1.4–3.3%, respectively. Basic separations of various polar analytes including phenols and aromatic amines were successfully achieved.

An electrochemical biomimetic sensor was developed for fast and selective detection of ascorbic acid (AA) in orange juice samples via electropolymerizing o -phenylenediamine on the surface of a dual channel screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE), which could achieve two repetitive measurements by using the same sample drop and improve test efficiency. The square wave voltammograms and scanning electron microscopy images indicated that the many imprinted cavities had formed in the AA-imprinted poly( o -phenylenediamine) film, which acted as a selective recognition element to determine AA by means of the matched size, shape, and orientation of the functional groups between the imprinted cavities and AA molecules. The response current of the imprinted sensor was linearly related to the concentration of AA in both lower concentration regions (0.45–13.52 μM) and higher concentration regions (13.52–409.10 μM), respectively. The detection limit was 0.11 μM based on the signal to noise ratio of 3. The sensor was applied to determine AA in commercial orange juice, and the result was in good agreement with that obtained by 2,6-dichlorophenol indophenol titration method. The fabrication of the sensor was simple and timesaving (<35 min for modifying two work electrodes). Together with portability and disposability of the AA-MIP/SPCE, the proposed sensor had widely potential applications in field test and analysis.
