Rhopalosiphum padi is an important global wheat pest. The pyrethroid insecticide bifenthrin is widely used in the control R. padi. We explored the resistance potential, cross-resistance, adaptive costs, and resistance mechanism of R. padi to bifenthrin using a bifenthrin-resistant strain (Rp-BIF) established in laboratory. The Rp-BIF strain developed extremely high resistance against bifenthrin (1033.036-fold). Cross-resistance analyses showed that the Rp-BIF strain had an extremely high level of cross-resistance to deltamethrin (974.483-fold), moderate levels of cross-resistance to chlorfenapyr (34.051-fold), isoprocarb (27.415-fold), imidacloprid (14.819-fold), and thiamethoxam (11.228-fold), whereas negative cross-resistance was observed to chlorpyrifos (0.379-fold). The enzymatic activity results suggested that P450 played an important role in bifenthrin resistance. A super-kdr mutation (M918L) of voltage-gated sodium channel (VGSC) was found in the bifenthrin-resistant individuals. When compared with the susceptible strain (Rp-SS), the Rp-BIF strain was significantly inferior in multiple life table parameters, exhibiting a relative fitness of 0.69. Our toxicological and biochemical studies indicated that multiple mechanisms of resistance might be involved in the resistance trait. Our results provide insight into the bifenthrin resistance of R. padi and can contribute to improve management of bifenthrin-resistant R. padi in the field.

In this study, yellow emissive lignin-based carbon dots (Y-CDs) were successfully prepared through a synergistic approach to adjust its surface and carbon core states. The lignin was initially effectively oxidized and carboxymethylated to impart abundant −COOH onto the precursor, which eventually adjusts the surface state of the CDs. Subsequently, α-naphthol was employed during the solvothermal treatment of lignin with the aim of elevating the sp2 domain content in the CDs and, thus, adjusting its carbon core state. The obtained Y-CDs possessed abundant carboxyl groups and nanoscale spherical shape with an average diameter of 5.21 nm. Meanwhile, the energy gap of Y-CDs was 2.46 eV and the optimal emission wavelength was 561 nm under the excitation wavelength of 410 nm. Synergistic adjusting carbon core and surface of the Y-CDs would alter the surface charge distribution and promote the delocalization of π electrons, and thus lead to a red shifting with the emission wavelength of 154 nm. Furthermore, a shape memory film with excellent recovery performance and fluorescent properties was designed by embedding the Y-CDs into polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) polymer. The incorporation of Y-CDs could impart the film with considerable high-value applications in the fields of intelligent sensing, biomedicine, and tissue engineering.

Cyclodextrin-based porous polymers have become a kind of promising adsorbents for the remediation of wastewater by virtue of their sustainability and economic potential. The acquisition of aforementioned adsorbents commonly requires elaborate preparation procedures which involve organic solvent, catalyst, inert atmosphere, or long reaction time. Herein, a facile and scalable solid-state mechanochemical approach was developed to afford reticular β-cyclodextrin polyurethanes (CDPUs) in a short time (2 h) without any organic solvents and catalysts at ambient conditions. Various diisocyanates can be used as coupling agents to link β-CD molecules into CDPUs relying on the driving force of ball milling. CDPUs-based composites can be also successfully synthesized via a “one-pot” mechanochemical reaction. The afforded CDPUs exhibit nearly the same physiochemical characteristics as those synthesized in solvents or with the assistance of catalyst. CDPUs have numerous accessible active adsorption sites, including β-CD cavities, bridging urethane groups, dangling amino groups, and aromatic rings. Owing to the accessible porosities and abundant adsorption sites, CDPUs exhibited rapid adsorption rate and high adsorption capacity towards phenolic micropollutants. CDPUs can maintain adsorption efficiency in a wide pH range, ionic strength, and humic acid. There is no significant decrease of adsorption efficiency for more than eight regeneration cycles, indicating their suitability for practical water treatment. This solid-state mechanochemical synthesis method for reticular CD-based polymers paves a new insight into green preparation of adsorbents and their sustainable use for the practical remediation of micropollutant wastewater.

This study demonstrated a simultaneous photocatalysis and adsorption of 1-naphthol by peroxymonosulfate (PMS), FeOOH and UV-C in a novel column reactor, which is composed of a submerged UV-C lamp, mixed quartz bead-FeOOH media bed and a continuous supply of oxidant. Around 80 % of 1-naphthol was removed at its optimal condition. The reaction mechanism was found to be pH dependent. At lower pH, photocatalysis and adsorption are favored as the catalyst surface is protonated (≡FeOH 2 + ) to promote PMS activation and 1-naphthol adsorption, and the dissolution of Fe 3+ enhanced homogeneous activation of PMS. At pH level higher than 8, the reaction becomes retarded due to the deprotonation of catalyst surface and dissociation of 1-naphthol into its conjugate base. Superoxide radical (O 2 •- ), singlet oxygen ( 1 O 2 ) and sulfate radical (SO 4 •- ) were confirmed to contribute to 1-naphthol oxidation . The reactor design was optimized at 20 min retention time. Due to the regeneration of Fe III /Fe II sites on FeOOH, the performance of reused catalyst is maintained at 90 % after 5 cycles of reuse. A quadratic regression with R 2 = 0.929 was used to model the concentration gradient of 1-naphthol along the column at different time intervals.

The zirconium metal-organic framework (MOF) UiO-66 was modified by dopamine (DA) and electrodeposited with Poly (3,4-ethylenedioxothiophene) (PEDOT) on an etched stainless steel wire to prepare a UiO-66-DA/PEDOT nanocomposite coating. The coating was characterized by scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectrometer, Fourier transform infrared and thermogravimetric analysis, respectively. The coating has high specific surface area and more porous structure, which can be used to extract eight phenols, including 2-chlorophenol, o-cresol, m-cresol, 2, 4-dichlorophenol, 4-tert-butylphenol, 4-chlorophenol, 4-tert-octylphenol and α-naphthol. The adsorption behavior of the phenols on the UiO-66-DA/PEDOT coating had significant correlation with Langmuir isothermal model. A determination method for the eight phenols was established by combining with direct immersion solid-phase micro extraction and gas chromatography. Under the optimal experimental conditions, the detection linear range (LRs) was 0.05–50 μg mL −1 and the detection limit (LODs) was 0.01–0.08 μg mL −1 (S/ N = 3). The method was applied for the migration detection of eight phenols in polycarbonate cups, which showed satisfactory recovery.

Leakage and contamination of hazardous chemical substances have been widely recognized as the critical issue in ensuring human health, maintaining environmental sustainability, and safeguarding public security. Urotropin as a crucial raw material in industrial holds a potential threat to aquatic/atmospheric environment with refractory degradation problem, hence, there remains a severe challenge to effectively and on-site monitor urotropin. Here, a general design with all-in-one strategy was presented, in which a highly integrated “pocket sensing chip” combining a sampling unit and a detecting unit together endows a rapid and ultrasensitive colorimetric detection without dead-zone towards urotropin. By loading fast blue B as sensing reagent in the detecting unit, a moderate and sensitive detection towards urotropin via electrostatic interaction was achieved with detection limits of 9 μM for liquid and 17.19 ng for particulates . Furthermore, an expandable sensing chip for the purpose of simultaneously screening on multi-target exhibited remarkable applicability for examining suspicious objects with all sorts of surface in real scenes, being unacted on environmental complexity. We expect this design would provide a universal strategy and the high referential value to propel the development of handy and portable sensing device to efficiently screen the environmental relevant critical substance on-site.

Cytochrome P450 enzymes (CYPs or P450s) are ubiquitous heme-dependent enzymes that catalyze the monooxygenation of non-activated C−H bonds to modify the structure of the substrate. In this study, we heterologously expressed CYP107X1 from Streptomyces avermitilis and conducted in vitro substrate screening using the alternative redox partners putidaredoxin and putidaredoxin reductase. CYP107X1 catalyzed the 16α-hydroxylation of progesterone with regio- and stereoselectivity. The spectroscopic analyses showed that CYP107X1 bound progesterone with a relatively high K d value of 65.3±38.9 μM. The K m and k cat values for progesterone were estimated to be 47.7±12.0 μM and 0.30 min −1 , respectively. Furthermore, a crystal structure was obtained of CYP107X1 bound with glycerol from the buffer solution. Interestingly, a conserved threonine was replaced with asparagine in CYP107X1, indicating that it may adopt an unnatural proton transfer process and play a crucial role in its catalytic activity.

Previously, a LysR family transcriptional regulator, McbG, that activates the mcbBCDEF gene cluster involved in the upstream pathway (from carbaryl to salicylate) of carbaryl degradation in Pseudomonas sp. strain XWY-1 was identified by us (Z. Ke, Y. Zhou, W. Jiang, M. Zhang, et al., Appl Environ Microbiol 87:e02970-20, 2021, https://doi.org/10.1128/AEM.02970-20). In this study, we identified McbH and McbN, which activate the mcbIJKLM cluster (responsible for the midstream pathway, from salicylate to gentisate) and the mcbOPQ cluster (responsible for the downstream pathway, from gentisate to pyruvate and fumarate), respectively. They both belong to the LysR family of transcriptional regulators. Gene disruption and complementation study reveal that McbH is essential for transcription of the mcbIJKLM cluster in response to salicylate and McbN is indispensable for the transcription of the mcbOPQ cluster in response to gentisate. The results of electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA) and DNase I footprinting showed that McbH binds to the 52-bp motif in the mcbIJKLM promoter area and McbN binds to the 58-bp motif in the mcbOPQ promoter area. The key sequence of McbH binding to the mcbIJKLM promoter is a 13-bp motif that conforms to the typical characteristics of the LysR family. However, the 12-bp motif that is different from the typical characteristics of the LysR family regulator binding site sequence is identified as the key sequence for McbN to bind to the mcbOPQ promoter. This study revealed the regulatory mechanisms for the midstream and downstream pathways of carbaryl degradation in strain XWY-1 and further our knowledge of (and the size of) the LysR transcription regulator family.IMPORTANCE The enzyme-encoding genes involved in the complete degradation pathway of carbaryl in Pseudomonas sp. strain XWY-1 include mcbABCDEF, mcbIJKLM, and mcbOPQ. Previous studies demonstrated that the mcbA gene, responsible for hydrolysis of carbaryl to 1-naphthol, is constitutively expressed and that the transcription of mcbBCDEF was regulated by McbG. However, the transcription regulation mechanisms of mcbIJKLM and mcbOPQ have not been investigated yet. In this study, we identified two LysR-type transcriptional regulators, McbH and McbN, which activate the mcbIJKLM cluster (responsible for the degradation of salicylate to gentisate) and the mcbOPQ cluster (responsible for the degradation of gentisate to pyruvate and fumarate), respectively. The 13-bp motif is critical for McbH to bind to the promoter of mcbIJKLM, and 12-bp motif different from the typical characteristics of the LysR-type transcriptional regulator (LTTR) binding sequence affects the binding of McbN to the promoter. These findings help to expand the understanding of the regulatory mechanism of microbial degradation of carbaryl.

Bi 2+x WO 6 are a group of reactive photocatalysts in the photooxidation of various contaminants. However, their catalytic reactivity in the persulfate (PS)-based oxidation processes in the absence of light is still unknown. In this study, Bi 2.15 WO 6 shows a high reactivity in the catalytic oxidation of bisphenol A (BPA) by PS in the absence of light under alkaline conditions, and 20 mg L -1 BPA can be rapidly removed within 30 min at pH 10.0 with the low stoichiometry ratio of 1.79 between consumed PS and removed BPA. Characterizations of the oxidation products indicate that 98.4% of soluble BPA has been oxidatively polymerized to BPA polymers, instead of being oxidized to CO 2 and H 2 O. FTIR, Raman, XPS and electrochemical analyses confirm that surface Bi(III) is the reactive site for the adsorption of BPA and PS, which then initiates reactions between BPA and PS. DFT calculations reveal that the O-O bond in PS is moderately activated via the nonradical pathway after adsorbing on Bi(III), instead of being decomposed to SO 4 •− , followed by H-abstraction from BPA by the activated PS with the formation of phenoxyl radicals and the subsequent polymerization to BPA polymers. The apparently lower energy barrier from adsorbed BPA (Δ G = 0.056 eV) than that from dissolved BPA (Δ G = 0.263 eV) further reveals that H-abstraction from adsorbed BPA to the activated PS on the surface of Bi 2.15 WO 6 is more favorable than that from dissolved BPA. This study gives new insight on the efficient removal of recalcitrant contaminants via the H-abstraction pathway.

In this paper, a type of heterojunction photocatalyst S-Tyr-NDI-Tyr/TiO 2 was prepared by self-assembly of tyrosine-substituted naphthamide (NDA) and bonding with titanium dioxide. The self-assembly process and driving force of monomer M-Tyr-NDI-Tyr were simulated by theoretical calculation. Taking atenolol as the target pollutant, the photocatalytic performance of the heterojunction photocatalyst under visible light was studied, and the degradation products were analyzed by mass spectrometry. The environmental toxicity of photocatalytic process was evaluated by luminescent bacteria. The principle of high photocatalytic activity of S-Tyr-NDI-Tyr/TiO 2 heterojunction photocatalyst was proposed by analyzing the fluorescence spectrum, photocurrent density and resistance, electron paramagnetic resonance spectrum, free radical capture experiment and energy band position of S-Tyr-NDI-Tyr/TiO 2 heterojunction photocatalyst. In addition, the photocatalytic degradation of different pollutants by S-Tyr-NDI-Tyr/TiO 2 heterojunction photocatalyst was also studied. This work will provide a useful example for the further development of new and efficient organic supramolecular/inorganic semiconductor composite photocatalysts.

Efficient and portable electrochemical biosensors are received to evaluation of pesticides in the environment, which can make great significance for food safety. In this study, the Co-based oxides with a kind of hierarchical porous hollow and nanocages were constructed, in which the materials (Co3O4-NC) were encapsulated with PdAu nanoparticles (NPs). Due to the unique porous structure, the changeable valence state of cobalt and the synergistic effect of bimetallic PdAuNPs, PdAu@Co3O4-NC possessed excellent electron pathways, and showed more exposed active sites. Accordingly, the porous Co-based oxides have been applied to construct an acetylcholinesterase (AChE) electrochemical biosensor, which showed good performance for organophosphorus pesticides (OPs) detection. The optimum biosensing platform based on nanocomposites was applied to exhibit highly sensitive determination of omethoate and chlorpyrifos, with the relative low detection limit of 6.125 × 10−15 M and 5.10 × 10−13 M, respectively. And a wide detection range of 6.125 × 10−15 ∼ 6.125 × 10−6 M and 5.10 × 10−13 ∼ 5.10 × 10−6 M for these two pesticides were achieved. Therefore, the PdAu@Co3O4-NC may represent a powerful tool for ultrasensitive sensing of OPs, and have great potential application.

A new kind of highly efficient organic zinc thermal stabilizer for polyvinyl chloride (PVC), zinc arginine stearate [Zn(Arg)(St)], is designed by introducing the arginine and stearate to the same zinc atoms to regulate the binding energy between anions and cation. Gaussian soft is used to calculate the binding energy. The results of Fourier transform infrared spectra, elemental analysis, thermogravimetric analysis, and differential scanning calorimetry show that Zn(Arg)(St) has been successfully synthesized. Zn(Arg)(St) stabilized PVC displays excellent Congo red, static and dynamic thermal stability time, especially the excellent initial whiteness and whiteness retention time. The thermal stability mechanism of Zn(Arg)(St) attributes to the different binding energy between the two anions and zinc cation, which results in Zn(Arg)(St) continuously replacing the unstable chlorine atoms step by step by Arg and St anions. Moreover, the amino group in Arg could complex ZnCl 2 to inhibit the “zinc burning” effect, and the guanidine group could absorb HCl to inhibit the “autocatalytic effect” of HCl. In addition, Zn(Arg)(St) has a remarkable lubrication effect, which also enhances the thermal stability of PVC. Thus, Zn(Arg)(St) is an environmentally friendly thermal stabilizer for PVC with an excellent thermal stability effect. Importantly, this work also proposes a new method to design highly efficient thermal stabilizers for PVC.
