Increasing attention has been brought to microplastics pollution recently, while emerging evidences indicate that nano-plastics degraded from microplastics are more of research significance owing to stronger toxicity. However, there is little study focused on the prevention of nano-plastics induced toxicity until now. Canidin-3-glucoside (C3G), a natural anthocyanin proved to possess multiple functions like antioxidant and intestinal tissue protection. Thus, we proposed whether C3G could act as a molecular weapon against nano-plastics induced toxicity. In Caco2 cell and Caenorhabditis elegans ( C. elegans ) models, we found that polystyrene (PS) nano-plastics exposure resulted in physiological toxicity and oxidative damage, which could be restored by C3G. More significantly in Caco2 cells, we observed that autophagy was activated via Sirt1-Foxo1 signaling pathway to attenuate PS induced toxicity after C3G intervention and further verified by adding autophagy inhibitor 3-Methyladenine (3-MA). Meanwhile, PS co-localization with lysosomes was observed, indicating the encapsulation and degradation of PS. In C. elegans , by detecting LGG-1/LC3 expression in GFP-targeted LGG-1 report gene (LGG-1:GFP) labeled transgenic DA2123 strain, the co-localization of LGG-1:GFP with PS was found as well, means that autophagy is involved in C3G’s beneficial effects. Furthermore, we were surprised to find that C3G could promote the discharge of PS from N2 nematodes, which reduces PS toxicity more directly.

Arthrobacter pascensZZ21 is a plant-beneficial, fluoranthene-degrading bacterial strain found in the rhizosphere. The production of the phytohormone indole-3-aectic acid (IAA) by ZZ21 is thought to contribute to its ability to promote plant growth and remediate fluoranthene-contaminated soil. Using genome-wide analysis combined with metabolomic and high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS) analyses, we characterized the potential IAA biosynthesis pathways inA. pascensZZ21. IAA production increased 4.5-fold in the presence of 200 mg·L−1tryptophan in the culture medium. The transcript levels ofprrandaldH, genes which were predicted to encode aldehyde dehydrogenases, were significantly upregulated in response to exogenous tryptophan. Additionally, metabolomic analysis identified the intermediates indole-3-acetamide (IAM), indole-3-pyruvic acid (IPyA), and the enzymatic reduction product of the latter, indole-3-lactic acid (ILA), among the metabolites of ZZ21, and subsequently also IAM, ILA, and indole-3-ethanol (TOL), which is the enzymatic reduction product of indole-3-acetaldehyde, by HPLC-MS. These results suggest that the tryptophan-dependent IAM and IPyA pathways function in ZZ21.Keywords:Arthrobacter;IAA biosynthesis pathway;genome-wide analysis;metabolomics;HPLC-MS

Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) plays an important role in the growth and development of plants. In this study, a series of predominant strains were isolated and identified as Enterobacter sp. with remarkable IAA-producing capabilities. The IAA-producing strains are mainly tryptophan-dependent and have significantly high yields of IAA (3477 μg mL−1 and 3378 μg mL−1). The ipdC gene encoding indole-3-pyruvate decarboxylase was identified by genomic analysis and RT-qPCR analysis, indicating the involvement of the indole-3-pyruvic acid (IPyA) pathway of IAA biosynthesis. The IPyA pathway was also confirmed by the intermediate assay. The IAA product of microbial metabolites was isolated, purified and characterized. These microbes exhibiting IAA production significantly promoted the growth of maize, increasing root length, plant height, fresh weight and dry weight. Thus, Enterobacter sp. with high IAA production has great prospects in agricultural and industrial applications.

Staphylococcus aureus poses a global threat to livestock health and public health security, necessitating a novel antibiotic. Pleuromutilin, a natural antibiotic, has served as a promising foundation for developing new antibacterial agents through structural modification. This study aims to evaluate the antibacterial potential, safety, and pharmacokinetic profile of a novel pleuromutilin derivative 2-3 (22-[2-(L-prolylamino)phenylsulfanyl]-22-deoxypleuromutilin). The compound 2–3 exhibited potent antibacterial activity (MIC = 0.25 μg/mL), concentration-dependent bactericidal effects, and prolonged post-antibiotic effects (PAEs). Safety assessments revealed low cytotoxicity (CC50 = 62.63 μg/mL) and no observable hemolytic activity. In vitro metabolic studies indicated species-dependent clearance, primarily mediated by CYP3A4. Pharmacokinetic in rats showed rapid absorption and elimination, with oral and intramuscular bioavailability of 16.03% ± 8.82% and 53.36% ± 12.27%, respectively. Notably, 2–3 demonstrated superior efficacy over tiamulin in a neutropenic murine thigh infection model. Molecular docking revealed a stronger binding free energy between 2–3 and the 50S ribosomal subunit compared to tiamulin. Collectively, these results highlight 2–3 as a promising clinical candidate against S. aureus infections, characterized by enhanced efficacy and a favorable safety profile.

Na3V2(PO4)3 (NVP) suffers from poor ionic and electronic conductivity. Herein, a dual-optimized design with Cu2+ doping and wrapping in tubular carbon nanotubes (CNTs) is proposed for the first time. This strategy not only modifies the internal electronic structure but also regulates the morphological features of NVP material. Notably, Cu2+ occupying V3+ sites introduces favorable p-type doping effects. Consequently, newly generated holes can act as charge carriers to improve electronic conductivity. Meanwhile, to conserve the charge balance of the whole system, a series of distinctive Na3+xV2−xCux(PO4)3 cathode materials are designed. The Na-rich scheme maintains charge integrity, as well as supplying more active Na+ to take part in the reversible de-intercalation process. Due to the larger ionic radius of Cu2+, Cu2+ doping plays a great role as a pillar to support the crystal skeleton and then expand the Na+ migration channels, thus significantly elevating the ionic transport rate. Furthermore, moderate CNTs are wrapped around the active grains, functioning together with coated carbon layers to construct a highly conductive framework, enhancing electronic transfer. Meanwhile, the tubular CNTs and porous morphology effectively increase the contact areas between active particles and electrolyte, providing more active sites. Furthermore, in situ EIS measurement demonstrates that a stable SEI membrane covers the cycled Na3.07V1.93Cu0.07(PO4)3@CNTs grains to maintain electrode stability and prevent the occurrence of side-effects. Comprehensively, the Na3.07V1.93Cu0.07(PO4)3@CNTs sample releases 124.2 mA h g−1 at 0.1 C. It releases 101.9 and 98.6 mA h g−1 at 10 and 50 C, suggesting superior rate capability.

Background Triethylamine (TEA), a volatile chemical marker released during seafood spoilage, not only indicates food freshness but also poses respiratory hazards, underscoring the need for reliable gas sensing. Current TEA detection technologies are often constrained by high operating temperatures, limited sensitivity in the ppb range, and sluggish response/recovery behavior, leading to excessive energy use and restricted real-world applicability. To overcome these limitations, this study focuses on developing a room-temperature TEA sensor capable of ultrasensitive and rapid detection, supporting both energy-efficient operation and sustainable monitoring solutions. Results We successfully synthesized SnO 2 hollow spheres and La 2 (WO 4 ) 3 nanoparticles via a solvothermal method and constructed La 2 (WO 4 ) 3 /SnO 2 (LSO) nanocomposites with the aim of developing a highly efficient sensor for triethylamine (TEA) detection. The results show that the LSO exhibited a notable enhancement in TEA gas sensing properties at room temperature. Specifically, it was observed that the LSO-4 heterojunctions exhibited response to 100 ppm TEA could reach to 5.24, which was approximately 3.14 times better than that of pure SnO 2 . Density functional theory (DFT) calculations confirmed the enhanced TEA adsorption capacity of the LSO heterojunction, while clarifying the underlying electron transfer mechanism. Practical application tests showed that the sensor could effectively detect TEA, demonstrating excellent sensitivity, stability, and repeatability, thereby providing feasibility for its application in monitoring of harmful gases in the environment. Significance This work reports the first example of fabrication La 2 (WO 4 ) 3 /SnO 2 heterojunctions for gas sensors. The sensors can detect ppb level TEA gas at room temperature, and meanwhile, the sensors have the advantage of ultrafast response and recovery, which is not normal for the room temperature gas sensor, which thus support their practical application in the field of food quality monitoring and harmful gas control.

Zhao, L.-X., Qu, H.-T., Fu, Y., Gao, S. and Ye, F. 2015. Alleviation of injury from chlorimuron-ethyl in maize treated with safener 3-dichloroacetyl oxazolidine. Can. J. Plant Sci. 95: 897–903. The protective effects of herbicide safeners, including 3-dichloroacetyl-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-oxazolidine (R-28725), 3-dichloroacetyl-2,2-dimethyl-4-ethyl-1,3-oxazolidine (Racemate), and its two enantiomers (R)-3-dichloroacetyl-2,2-dimethyl-4-ethyl-1,3-oxazolidine (R-enantiomer) and (S)-3-dichloroacetyl-2,2-dimethyl-4-ethyl-1,3-oxazolidine (S-enantiomer), on reducing the phytotoxicity of chlorimuron-ethyl to maize were investigated. Soaking the seeds in safeners increased the endogenous glutathione (GSH) content and glutathione-S-transferase (GST) activity of maize. When induced by R-enantiomer, the GST activity in vivo and in vitro increased 180 and 192% compared with control, respectively. R-28725 and R-enantiomer also increased the acetolactate synthase (ALS) activity inhibited by chlorimuron-ethyl from 45 to 100 and 97% compared with the control, respectively. The kinetic parameter Vmax of GST in the maize treated with R-28725 and R-enantiomer increased by 103 and 92%, respectively, compared with the control. Our results suggest that R-28725 and R-enantiomer could significantly improve the GSH content, GST activity, and ALS activity of maize. Overall, maize could be protected from the injury caused by chlorimuron-ethyl.

Coupling of ferroelectricity and optical properties has become an interesting aspect of material research. The switchable spontaneous polarization in ferroelectrics provides an alternative way to manipulate the light–matter interaction. The recent observation of strong photoluminescence emission in ferroelectric hybrid organic–inorganic compounds, (pyrrolidinium)MnX3 (X = Cl or Br), is an attractive approach to high efficiency luminescence with the advantages of ferroelectricity. However, (pyrrolidinium)MnX3 only displays ferroelectricity near or below room temperature, which limits its future applications in optoelectronics and multifunctional devices. Here, we rationally designed and synthesized high-temperature luminescent ferroelectric materials. The new hybrid compound (3-pyrrolinium)MnCl3 has a very high Curie temperature, Tc = 376 K, large spontaneous electronic polarization of 6.2 μC/cm2, and high fatigue resistance, as well as high emission efficiency of 28%. This finding is a further step to the practical use of ferroelectric luminescence based on organic–inorganic compounds.

A novel approach for the production of 2,5-hexanedione (HDN) and 3-methyl-2-cyclopenten-1-one (3-MCO) from 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) by water splitting with Zn is reported for the first time. The use of high temperature water (HTW) conditions is the key for the efficient conversion of HMF to HDN and 3-MCO. Parameters regarding the Zn amount, temperature and reaction time are optimized and HDN and 3-MCO are produced in 27.3% and 30.5% yields, respectively. The roles of HTW and ZnO obtained by oxidation of Zn in water for the conversion of HMF, together with intermediate structures, are discussed to understand the mechanism of the reaction.

Composition engineering is an active topic of research for optical and electronic (nano)crystals and functional materials. We here demonstrate the control over the ratios and distributions of selenium and sulfur in ternary Sb2(Se,S)3 alloy nanorods (NRs), which were synthesized from a molecular chalcogen precursor, selenium disulfide (SeS2). By increasing the anion/cation precursor ratios (SeS2/SbCl3) from 0.5 : 1 to 1 : 1 and 1.5 : 1, an increase in both the Se fractions and the lengths × diameters of NRs is achieved with the Se and S distributions in Sb2(Se,S)3 varying from homogeneity to inhomogeneity. Within the inhomogeneous NRs obtained at high SeS2/SbCl3 ratios containing excessive chalcogen (Se + S), S decreases but Se increases from the center to the periphery as revealed by EDS elemental analyses performed on individual NRs. In particular, the 1D growth anisotropy of NRs allows for a large chalcogen concentration gradient along the axial direction of the resulting NRs from their middle to the two ends. Such non-uniform Se and S distributions can be rationally interpreted by analyzing the growth kinetics and processes of Sb2(Se,S)3 NRs and would give rise to uncommon (opto)electronic properties towards future nanowire-based devices.

In this present study, we proposed a smart biomineralization method for creating hybrid organic–inorganic nanoflowers using a Co2+-dependent enzyme (D-psicose 3-epimerase; DPEase) as the organic component and cobalt phosphate as the inorganic component. The prepared nanoflowers have many separated petals that have a nanometer size. Under optimum conditions (60 °C and pH of 8.5), the nanoflower can display its maximum activity (36.2 U/mg), which is about 7.2-fold higher than free DPEase. Furthermore, the immobilized DPEase presents enhanced pH and thermal stabilities. The DPEase-nanoflower maintained about 90% of its activity after six reaction cycles, highlighting its excellent reusability.Keywords:nanoflower;immobilization;metal-dependent enzyme;D-psicose;DPEase

2-Hydroxy-3-butoxypropyl hydroxyethyl celluloses (HBPEC), which are thermoresponsive polymers, are prepared by grafting butyl glycidyl ether onto hydroxyethyl cellulose. The effects of several factors on the cloud point (Tc) of the HBPEC are also investigated. The Tc of HBPEC can be tuned to a ranging from 17.0 to 43.0 °C by changing the molar substitution of hydrophobic groups. Increasing the concentration of HBPEC leads to a faster phase transition as well as a corresponding linear decrease in the Tc. A series of salts with common anions or cations are used to investigate the effects of specific anions or cations on the Tc of HBPEC aqueous solutions. It is discovered that the Tc of HBPEC is largely influenced by the variation of cation identity and concentration. Plotting Tc as a function of cation activity shows that the Tc can be classified by charge density.
