The Gram-negative bacterium Riemerella anatipestifer CH-2 is resistant to lincosamides, having a lincomycin (LCM) minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 128 µg/mL. The G148_1775 gene of R. anatipestifer CH-2, designated lnu (H), encodes a 260-amino acid protein with ≤41% identity to other reported lincosamide nucleotidylyltransferases. Escherichia coli Rosetta TM (DE3) containing the pBAD24- lnu (H) plasmid showed four- and two-fold increases in the MICs of LCM and clindamycin (CLI), respectively. A kinetic assay of the purified Lnu(H) enzyme for LCM and CLI showed that the protein could inactive lincosamides. Mass spectrometry analysis demonstrated that the Lnu(H) enzyme catalysed adenylylation of lincosamides. In addition, an lnu (H) gene deletion strain exhibited 512- and 32-fold decreases in LCM and CLI MICs, respectively. The wild-type level of lincosamide resistance could be restored by complementation with a shuttle plasmid carrying the lnu (H) gene. The transformant R. anatipestifer ATCC 11845 [ lnu (H)] acquired by natural transformation also exhibited high-level lincosamide resistance. Moreover, among 175 R. anatipestifer field isolates, 56 (32.0%) were positive for the lnu (H) gene by PCR. In conclusion, Lnu(H) is a novel lincosamide nucleotidylyltransferase that inactivates LCM and CLI by nucleotidylylation, thus conferring high-level lincosamide resistance to R. anatipestifer CH-2.

Homogenous dispersion of hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) nanosheets in solvents or in the polymer matrix is crucial to initiate their many applications. Here, homogeneous dispersion of hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) in epoxy matrix was achieved with a water-soluble carboxylated aniline trimer derivative (CAT − ) as a dispersant, which was attributed to the strong π-π interaction between h-BN and CAT − , as proved by Raman and UV–vis spectra. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis confirmed a random dispersion of h-BN nanosheets in the waterborne epoxy coatings. The deterioration process of water-borne epoxy coating with and without h-BN nanosheets during the long-term immersion in 3.5 wt% NaCl solution was investigated by electrochemical measurements and water absorption test. Results implied that the introduction of well dispersed h-BN nanosheets into waterborne epoxy system remarkably improved the corrosion protection performance to substrate. Moreover, 1 wt% BN/EP composite coated substrate exhibited higher impedance modulus (1.3 × 10 6 Ω cm 2 ) and lower water absorption (4%) than those of pure waterborne epoxy coating coated electrode after long-term immersion in 3.5 wt% NaCl solution, demonstrating its superior anticorrosive performance. This enhanced anticorrosive performance was mainly ascribed to the improved water barrier property of epoxy coating via incorporating homogeneously dispersed h-BN nanosheets.

A novel hexagonal boron nitride nanosheets (h-BN)-doped poly (vinyl alcohol)-sulfuric acid (PVA-H 2 SO 4 ) gel polymer electrolyte (GPE) is first fabricated through a facile freeze-thaw method. The ionic conductivities of the h-BN-doped PVA-H 2 SO 4 GPEs with various h-BN nanosheet contents are evaluated. With the optimal content of h-BN nanosheets (0.025 mg ml −1 ), the ionic conductivity of the GPE can reach up to 29 mS cm −1 , three times higher than that of GPE without the h-BN nanosheets (9 mS cm −1 ). The h-BN nanosheets are considered as a “super-highway” for ion transport in PVA-H 2 SO 4 GPE. Moreover, a symmetric qusai-solid-state supercapacitor, with activated carbon as electrodes and the h-BN nanosheets-doped PVA-H 2 SO 4 gel polymer as an electrolyte and separator, delivers a high specific capacitance, good rate capability, and excellent cycle stability. At the current density of 0.5 A g −1 , the symmetry qusai-solid-state supercapacitor can deliver an electrode specific capacitance of 124.5 F g −1 , and remain 99.2% capacitance after 5000 charge-discharge cycles. The h-BN nanosheets-doped GPE, with superior performance and facile synthesis method, appears to be a promising candidate for high-performance qusai-solid-state supercapacitors and other electrochemical devices, such as rechargeable batteries, fuel cells. This work also sheds light on the possibility to use 2D materials in advanced GPE.

The regulation solutions and mechanisms of reducing pesticide phytotoxicity to nontarget plants are not well-defined and detailed. Here, we have proposed a new detoxification strategy to control the toxic effects of herbicide imazethapyr (IM) induced in wheat seedlings from the perspective of the plasma membrane (PM) H+-ATPase. We found that the changes in PM H+-ATPase activity have a regulatory effect on the phytotoxic effects induced by IM in plants. Treatment with PM H+-ATPase activators restored the reduced auxin content and photosynthetic efficiency caused by IM, thereby promoting plant growth. Application of a PM H+-ATPase inhibitor further reduced phosphorus content and significantly increased 2,4-dihydroxy-7-methoxy-2H,1,4-benzoxazin-3(4H)one (DIMBOA) and jasmonic acid levels. These effects indicate that auxin and DIMBOA may regulate plant growth trends and detoxification effects mediated by PM H+-ATPase. This work opens a new strategy for regulating herbicide toxicity to nontarget plants from the PM H+-ATPase.

5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) is one of the most promising biomass-based chemicals that is used to produce many kinds of important compounds. Especially, the selective conversion of HMF to 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furancarboxylic acid (HMFCA), an important chemical feedstock, has high industrial significance but is technically challenging. In this study, we present a high-performance photocatalyst for selective oxidation of HMF to HMFCA. By integrating an ultrasmall amount of palladium (Pd) nanoclusters (1.12‰ in weight) on defective hexagonal boron nitride nanosheets (Pd/defective h-BN nanosheets (dh-BNs)), outstanding photocatalytic performance can be achieved, resulting in up to a 95% HMF conversion ratio with an 82% HMFCA selectivity. The performance is considerably higher than that of pristine dh-BNs and Pd on defect-free h-BNs. More importantly, this Pd/dh-BNs catalyst maintains a high catalytic activity after eight cycles, demonstrating robust catalytic stability. Density functional theory calculations indicate that Pd/dh-BNs can lower the energy barrier for HMF oxidation and facilitate the desorption of HMFCA, which contributes to the high selectivity catalytic performance. This study not only introduces a promising photocatalyst for sustainable chemical transformations but can also provide valuable insights into the design of advanced photocatalytic material for biorefinery applications.

Dipole–dipole and hydrogen-bonding interaction reinforced (DHIR) hydrogels that demonstrate both excellent thermo-responsive volume change and high mechanical strength have been developed. Their thermo-responsive volume change originates from the balance between the temperature-sensitive reversible dipole–dipole and H-bonding interaction and an embedded super-hydrophilic component. By integrating these thermal responsive DHIR hydrogels with non-swelling polyurethane (PU) hydrogels, bilayered (DHIR-PU) thermomorphic actuators capable of shape transformation have been fabricated. The hybrid DHIR-PU hydrogels have a wide temperature window allowing dual-responsive actuations to be achieved. The new hydrogel-based actuators are highly attractive materials for a range of transformative applications in soft robotics, medical devices and advanced manufacturing.

High-performance elastomers that possess a combination of high mechanical toughness and fast healability have garnered extensive interest because of their diverse application potential. Inspired by the unique multiple hydrogen bond (H-bond) structure of spider silk and the rapid dynamic exchange of hindered urea bonds (HUBs), a self-healing polyurea elastomer with ultrahigh toughness was designed by incorporating dynamic sextuple H-bonds and HUBs into the polymer chain. Such a design affords high stretchability (1586%), excellent toughness (45.53 MJ m–3), good self-healing efficiency (91.6%), fracture energy (39.68 kJ m–2), and recyclability. The high mechanical performance and good healability are attributed to the presence of reversibly cross-linked noncovalent sextuple H-bonds and dynamically covalent HUBs, which have been validated by stress relaxation tests. Meanwhile, by substituting the chain extender adipic dihydrazide with hexamethylenediamine, which possesses a comparable structure but fewer amide bonds, the effect of sextuple H-bonds on elastomers was confirmed. More importantly, when a conductive layer of graphene oxide was applied to the surface of the resulting elastomer, the elastomers exhibited potential applications in strain sensors.

Glutathione (GSH), as an significant intracellular antioxidant, plays a vital role in preserving the balance of cellular redox homeostasis. The accurate and sensitive detection of GSH is essential for understanding the cellular redox status and for the diagnosis and treatment of many diseases. Herein, a core–shell structure composed of glucose oxidase (GOx), platinum (Pt) nanoparticles and a zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-8) shell was constructed. Pt NPs in the core–shell showed high peroxidase-like catalytic activity. The as-prepared Pt-GOx@H-ZIF-8 can be utilized for colorimetric detection of GSH, exhibiting a broad linear range from 0.5 to 90 μM, and a low limit of detection (LOD) of 0.4 μM. Pt-GOx@H-ZIF-8 showed excellent sensitivity, selectivity and stability towards glutathione detection, making it a promising candidate for intracellular antioxidants.

Iridium (Ir) is recognized to have extremely high catalytic activity in the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). However, there are still technical challenges in maximizing the utilization of Ir atoms in the catalytic reaction process through dimensional regulation strategies. Herein, an innovative strategy is utilized to fabricate porous phosphorus-doped iridium (P-Ir) with a 2D structure, specifically the reduction of 1T phase-IrO 2 (1T-IrO 2 ) nanosheets using phosphine gas. The optimized P-Ir achieves an overpotential of 17.2 mV (vs RHE without i R-correction) in 0.5 m H 2 SO 4 during the HER process, outperforming benchmark Pt/C (27.0 mV) and most reported Ir-based electrocatalysts. During the long-term stability tests, P-Ir maintains stable operation for more than 100 h at both −10 and −100 mA cm −2 , respectively. Moreover, the HER activity and transient potential scanning results of Ir-based phosphides prove that doping P atoms in the Ir lattice promotes the reaction kinetic rate and charge transport capacity during hydrogen evolution. Theoretical calculations reveal that P atoms doping weakens the adsorption energy of H intermediates (H*) by regulating the d -band center of the Ir sites. Simultaneously, the desorption process of H* is also facilitated by forming a special bridged-H* bond structure, eventually accelerating the HER kinetics.

Lignocellulose pretreated using pyrolysis can yield clean energy (such as bioethanol) via microbial fermentation, which can significantly contribute to waste recycling, environmental protection, and energy security. However, the acids, aldehydes, and phenols present in bio-oil with inhibitory effects on microorganisms compromise the downstream utilization and conversion of lignocellulosic pyrolysates. In this study, we constructed a microbial electrolysis cell system for bio-oil detoxification and efficient ethanol production using evolved Escherichia coli to overcome the bioethanol production and utilization challenges highlighted in previous studies. In electrically treated bio-oil media, the E. coli-H strain exhibited significantly higher levoglucosan consumption and ethanol production capacities compared with the control. In undetoxified bio-oil media containing 1.0% (w/v) levoglucosan, E. coli-H produced 0.54 g ethanol/g levoglucosan, reaching 94% of the theoretical yield. Our findings will contribute to developing a practical method for bioethanol production from lignocellulosic substrates, and provide a scientific basis and technical demonstration for its industrialized application.

Bromate (BrO 3 – ) is a common by-product of advanced oxidation water treatment processes. In this study, a catalyst combining MXene and Pd was synthesized to eliminate BrO 3 – by electrochemical reduction in flow-through mode. The fabricated Ti/Pd@MXene filter showed superior activity for BrO 3 – reduction compared with Ti/MXene filter. A satisfactory BrO 3 − removal performance by Ti/Pd@MXene filter was obtained at pH values of 5–7 with a current density of 1.0–2.5 mA·cm –2 . The mechanism explored by quenching experiments and EPR analysis demonstrated that atomic hydrogen (H*)-mediated reduction was dominant in the Ti/Pd@MXene filter system and contributed to 84.2 % of the BrO 3 − removal, which was greater than that of Ti (7.1 %) and Ti/MXene (43.9 %). DFT calculations revealed the introduction of Pd nanoparticles on MXene lowered the energy barrier for generating H* from OH* -H* , thus boosting H* formation. Furthermore, the Ti/Pd@MXene filter had favorable stability and applicability, and nearly 90 % of BrO 3 − could be eliminated in different water matrices. Moreover, energy consumption of the Ti/Pd@MXene filter was more competitive than that previously reported (0.348 kWh·mmol −1 ), especially for high BrO 3 − removal (≥75 %). This work highlighted an effective flow-through electrocatalytic filter to induce H* -mediated electrochemical reduction of BrO 3 − .

To develop an industrial zeolite-based catalyst for efficient furfural production, the acidity, pore structure, and electronic properties of H-β zeolite were modulated by synergistic deatomization and atomic implantation treatments. The dealumination effectively decreased the intrinsic aluminum-related Lewis and Brosted acid sites, thus decreasing the occurrence of unwanted side reactions. Meanwhile, the removed skeleton aluminum can create voids for the following atomic implantation of introducing higher valent-state niobium species, which would provide new kinds of catalytic active sites, increase the average pore size by distorting the zeolite skeleton, and enhance the interaction with reactant molecules by acting as more electron deficient centers. In a single-phase water/γ-valerolactone reaction system, the optimum catalyst can efficiently convert both xylan and xylose with a conversion of 100 % at a medium temperature of 130 ℃ within 3 hours. Compared with the furfural yield over untreated H-β (12.7%), the yield over deAlβ/Nb(20%) catalyst was greatly enhanced by 54% with xylose as raw material. The catalyst can be recovered by simple cleaning and thermal regeneration and then reused. The proposed post-treatment strategy could maintain the integrity of the zeolite structure, ensure uniform and stable metal dispersion under harsh conditions, manage the complexity and cost of the preparation process, and most importantly, optimize the catalytic performance. Addressing these issues is essential for improving the efficiency and practical application of industrial zeolite catalysts by this general approach and benefiting industrial furfural production.
