Global investigation involving proteins amino acid lysine 2-hydroxyisobutyrylation (Khib) information in Oriental natural herb rhubarb (Dahuang).
Additionally, sulfide can improve lipid and carbohydrate productivity under high levels of nitrate. This study enhances our understanding of the mechanisms underlying the simultaneous removal of sulfide and alternative bioenergy production.p-n Heterojunctions of BiOI/ZnO nanorod arrays (BiOI/ZnO NRs) were prepared by loading the p-type BiOI nanosheets on the n-type ZnO nanorod arrays for efficient removal of organic contaminants in water during the piezo-photocatalytic degradation. Under concurrent visible-light irradiation and ultrasonic vibration, the bisphenol solution (50 mL, 10 mg/L) could be completely degraded within 30 min by 10 mg of 0.15 BiOI/ZnO NRs. It shows a dramatically-enhanced degradation efficiency under light irradiation and ultrasonic vibration, which is four times as high as that only under light irradiation. The excellent piezo-photocatalytic ability of BiOI/ZnO NRs could be attributed to the piezoelectric effect coupling with photocatalytic process. Under the irradiation of light, the electron-hole pairs were generated in BiOI nanosheets, and the piezoelectric potential is created inside the highly oriented one-dimensional ZnO nanorods by ultrasonic vibration, which can accelerate the migration of photogenerated carriers. It shows a strategy to effectively enhance the photocatalytic activity through utilizing the internal piezoelectric potential, which is generated by the one-dimensional nanorods with piezoelectric properties under ultrasonic vibration. So, it can promote the separation and prolong the lifetime of photogenerated carriers, and result in high-efficient degradation of organic contaminants.Bamboo has been considered a potential plant species for phytoremediation due to its high biomass and heavy metal (HM) resistance. However, little is known about the interactions between bamboo and soil microbial activities in HM-contaminated soils. Here, we investigated the characteristics of microbial communities in the rhizosphere soil of Lei bamboo (Phyllostachys praecox) along a chromium (Cr) gradient. ZD1839 We found that the soil Cr content was positively correlated with the total organic carbon (TOC) and HCl-extractable Cr but negatively correlated with the pH and bacterial and fungal Shannon indices. Proteobacteria and Ascomycota predominated in the bamboo rhizosphere under Cr pollution. A co-occurrence network showed that two of the most Cr-sensitive bacterial genera and keystone taxa were from the Acidobacteria, indicating that this phylum can be as an indicator for the studied Cr-polluted soils. Redundancy analysis revealed that both the soil bacterial and fungal community compositions were significantly correlated (p less then 0.05) with Cr, pH, TOC, alkali-hydrolysable N (AN), and available phosphorus (AP). The increase in TOC as the Cr content increased can be ascribed to an adverse Cr effect on the soil microflora, probably because the microbial biomass was less effective in mineralizing soil C under Cr-polluted conditions.Expanded graphite (EG) immobilized nickel ferrite (NiCo2O4) was successfully constructed by a simple hydrothermal approach and applied for the degradation of sulfamethoxazole (SMX) in model wastewater by peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation. The features of prepared catalysts were characterized by SEM, TEM, EDS, XRD, BET, TPD and XPS techniques. The influences of several critical parameters including the prepared NiCo2O4-EG dosages, PMS concentrations, temperature, initial solution pH and inorganic ions on SMX removal were studied in details. In particular, the synthesized NiCo2O4-EG exhibits excellent catalytic performances for SMX depredation over a wide pH range (pH 3.0-11.0). Besides, the transformation of various reactive oxygen species (SO4-, HO, O2- and 1O2) with the change of initial pH was investigated by the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and quenching tests. In addition, twelve major degradation intermediates of SMX were detected by UPLC-QTOF-MS/MS. Finally, the PMS activation mechanism in NiCo2O4-EG/PMS system by the synergistic coupling of EG and NiCo2O4 were put forward. In brief, this work provided a promising and potential catalyst for PMS activation to remove SMX from wastewater.To study the inhibited degradation metabolism and anaerobic digestion of typical lipids in food waste, an artificially produced capsaicin, N-Vanillylnonanamide, a typical soluble component in waste lipids, was added to a glycerol trioleate anaerobic digestion system. The microorganisms damage and blocked electron transfer caused by N-Vanillylnonanamide during anaerobic digestion were further clarified. Scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy images demonstrated that N-Vanillylnonanamide (≥4 wt%) structurally damaged microorganisms via cell membrane breakage, which impair their function. N-Vanillylnonanamide inhibited the activities of the key enzyme CoA, AK, F420, and CoM, which are relevant for both degradation metabolism and anaerobic digestion. 16S rRNA analysis showed that dominant bacterial and archaeal communities markedly decreased after anaerobic digestion of glycerol trioleate with N-Vanillylnonanamide (≥4 wt%). For example, the proportion of Methanosarcina decreased from 30 % to 6 %. Current-voltage curves indicated that the electron transfer rate in the community of microorganisms decreased by 99 % from 4.67 × 10-2 to 5.66 × 10-4 s-1 in response to N-Vanillylnonanamide (40 wt%). The methane yield during anaerobic digestion of glycerol trioleate decreased by 84.0 % from 780.21-142.10 mL/g-total volatile solids with N-Vanillylnonanamide (40 wt%).An effective strategy for enhancement of catalytic activity and stability of immobilized laccase via metal affinity adsorption on Fe3O4@C-Cu2+ nanoparticles was developed, which involved the fabrication of hydroxyl and carboxyl functionalized Fe3O4@C nanoparticles via a simple hydrothermal process and the subsequent chelation with Cu2+ for the immobilization of laccase under a mild condition. Our results revealed that the Fe3O4@C-Cu2+ nanoparticles possess a high loading amount of bovine serum albumin (BSA, 436 mg/g support) and laccase activity recovery of 82.3 % after immobilization. Laccase activity assays indicated that thermal and pH stabilities, and resistances to organic solvents and metal ions of the immobilized laccase were relatively higher than those of the free enzyme. The immobilized laccase maintained more than 61 % of its original activity after 10 consecutive reuses. Most importantly, the immobilized laccase possessed excellent degradation of diverse synthetic dyes. The degradation rates of malachite green (MG), brilliant green (BG), crystal violet (CV), azophloxine, Procion red MX-5B, and reactive blue 19 (RB19) was approximately 99, 93, 79, 88, 75 and 81 (%) in the first cycle.
