The development of agricultural biostimulants (BS) has marked a significant advancement in bolstering crop resilience against environmental stressors. This study investigates synthesizing and applying six novel nano-based potassium (K)-enriched biostimulants that enhance micronutrient availability, nitrogen uptake, and subsequent plant growth during seed germination and developmental phases. Using Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) and Fourier-transform infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), the synthesized biostimulants were characterized before their application in soil-supporting wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivation. The biostimulants’ effects at three concentrations (0.1, 0.2, and 0.5 mmol) and were evaluated on physiological and biomolecular parameters. To assess nutrient availability, soil mineral content was analyzed via X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS). An increase in biostimulant concentration led to a marked rise in seed germination rates, correlating with elevated bioavailability of nitrates, ammonia, sulfur, potassium, and other key micronutrients. At a threshold concentration of 0.2 mmol, a notable improvement in the bioavailability of nutrients and a significant increase in the total phenol and flavonoid content was observed. The phenolic content was measured using the Folin-Ciocalteu method and expressed as Gallic Acid Equivalents (GAE), while flavonoids were quantified based on quercetin equivalents. These phytochemicals were correlated with enhanced antioxidant activities, measured using the Ferric Reducing Antioxidant Power (FRAP) assay. The results indicated an 80% increase in antioxidant capacity, particularly for biostimulant BS6 at the 0.2 mmol concentration. Furthermore, biostimulants demonstrated a positive effect on the elongation of radicles and plumules, contributing to improved plant vigor. Overall, the study highlights the potential of synthesized K-based biostimulants to significantly enhance crop productivity, nutrient uptake, and antio

Micro/nanoplastics (MNPs) contamination is a potential threat to global biodiversity and ecosystem functions, with unclear ecological impacts on aboveground (AG) and belowground (BG) food webs in terrestrial ecosystems. Here, we discuss the uptake, ingestion, bioaccumulation, and ecotoxicological effects of MNPs in plants and associated AG-BG biota at various trophic levels. We propose key pathways for MNPs transfer between the AG-BG food webs and elaborate their impact on terrestrial ecosystem multifunctionality. We conclude that MNPs are bioaccumulated in most studied plants and associated AG-BG biota and can be transferred along AG-BG food webs, which may profoundly impact ecosystem functioning. However, most pathways are still untested. Future research on MNPs should focus on the interactions within AG-BG food webs in terrestrial ecosystems. © 2024 Elsevier Ltd

This study was designed to investigate the dichotomous effects of titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2NPs) at varying concentrations (0, 50, 100, 1000, and 2500 ppm) on the physiological, biochemical, and antioxidative defense responses of Persian dragonhead plants cultivated in hydroponic conditions. Over 21 days of treatment, an increase in fresh shoot biomass by 26.2% and plant height by 18.2% was observed at exposure to 50 ppm TiO2NPs. Exposure to 100 ppm NPs negatively affected the biosynthesis of carotenoids, chlorophyll pigments (a, b, and total), and protein content. Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FE-SEM) and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) analysis revealed TiO2NPs deposition within intercellular spaces and cell walls of root tissues. The physiological stress was prominent in response to 2500 ppm NPs as evidenced by a significant increase in proline and sugar content compared to the control. The enzymatic antioxidative defense was significantly upregulated by the enhanced activity of catalase (CAT) across exposure ranges 100–2500 ppm NPs, ascorbate peroxidase (APX) at 100 and 2500 ppm NPs, and peroxidase (POD) at 100 ppm NPs in plant roots. The antioxidant proficiency was further corroborated by increases in total flavonoids by 30.43% at 2500 ppm, saponins by 253.7%, and iridoids by 22.3% at 100 ppm NPs, relative to control. The results suggest that TiO2NPs fostered growth promotion at sub-lethal doses, and induced adverse biochemical changes at elevated concentrations, prompting the activation of intrinsic defense mechanisms to enhance plant resilience against NPs stresses. The optimal nano-stimulation performance was observed at 50 ppm TiO2NPs, which was suggested for the high yield targets, signifying a potential boon for agricultural productivity. © 2024 Elsevier Ltd

This study investigates the ureolysis and microbially induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICP) characteristics of Sporosarcina pasteurii and Lysinibacillus sphaericus under varying incubation and reaction conditions. A series of batch MICP experiments were conducted to assess the effects of incubation duration and pH, bacterial cell density, and reagent (i.e., urea and calcium ion) concentrations on ureolysis and CaCO3 precipitation characteristics. The findings indicate that both bacteria exhibit higher urease activity after 24 hours of incubation compared to 48 hours, regardless of incubation pH. S. pasteurii exhibits maximum specific urease activity at an alkaline pH (pH 9.0), whereas L. sphaericus reaches peak activity at a neutral pH (pH 7.2). Across six incubation conditions for each bacterium, S. pasteurii exhibits greater sensitivity in specific urease activity, while L. sphaericus maintains a more consistent ureolysis performance. In terms of cell density, a lower OD600 (~0.1) enhances specific urease activity and early-stage mineralization efficiency, whereas a higher OD600 (~1.0) accelerates overall CaCO3 precipitation, enhances terminal-stage mineralization efficiency, and promotes the prolonged presence of vaterite. High reagent concentrations (1.0 and 1.5 M) enhance specific urease activity and CaCO3 precipitation rates and lead to over 93% of vaterite formation, while low reagent concentration (0.3 M) favors calcite-dominant precipitation over time. These findings provide insights into evaluating and optimizing MICP performance under varying incubation and reaction conditions. © 2025, The Authors. All rights reserved.

MicroRNA-1 (miR-1) is a conserved microRNA that is highly expressed in skeletal and cardiac muscle tissues. Moreover, miR-1 regulates genes and has critical roles in cell migration and invasion. Downregulation of miR-1 has been found in many pathologies of numerous organs, including the lungs. What exactly contributes to the downregulation of miR-1 is not fully understood, and in the present study, we investigated whether ROS regulate miR-1 and its role in cell migration and invasion. A549 cells were grown and maintained in DMEM:F12 (1:1) and supplemented with 10% FBS and 1000 U of Penicillin/Streptomycin and maintained as recommended by the manufacturer (ATCC). Cell migration and invasion, IHC, Western blot, qPCR, ROS, miR-1 transfection, and qPCR were used to determine miR-1 regulation and its role in cell migration. Exogenous miR-1 decreased the formation of ROS and inhibited cell migration and invasion, whereas inhibition of miR-1 increased ROS formation and stimulated cell migration and invasion. Inhibition of miR-1 induced the formation of actin filaments contractile structures, whereas exogenous miR-1 limited the formation of these structures. Hydrogen peroxide significantly decreased miR-1 level, whereas inhibition of Nox4 had no effect on miR-1 level. Alpha amanitin did not decrease miR-1 level, whereas inhibition of NF-кB temporally decreased miR-1 level. This study demonstrates that ROS suppress miR-1 and that miR-1 is posttranscriptionally regulated via MAPK. Endogenous Nox4-dependent ROS are not involved in miR-1 regulation, whereas exogenous ROS regulates miR-1. NF-κB plays a key role in miR-1 regulation in both redox and nonredox environments. Moreover, Mir-1 limits cell migration and invasion even in the presence of ROS. TSP-1 is a major regulator of TGFβ and its expression is upregulated by ROS. Our work indicates ROS is a major regulator of miR-1 and TSP-1 and could be a potential therapeutic target to limit ROS- and non-ROS-mediated processes in l

Background: Human-designed oligotrophic environments, such as cleanrooms, harbor unique microbial communities shaped by selective pressures like temperature, humidity, nutrient availability, cleaning reagents, and radiation. Maintaining the biological cleanliness of NASA’s mission-associated cleanrooms, where spacecraft are assembled and tested, is critical for planetary protection. Even with stringent controls such as regulated airflow, temperature management, and rigorous cleaning, resilient microorganisms can persist in these environments, posing potential risks for space missions. Results: During the Phoenix spacecraft mission, genomes of 215 bacterial isolates were sequenced and based on overall genome-related indices, 53 strains belonging to 26 novel species were recognized. Metagenome mapping indicated less than 0.1% of the reads associated with novel species, suggesting their rarity. Genes responsible for biofilm formation, such as BolA (COG0271) and CvpA (COG1286), were predominantly found in proteobacterial members but were absent in other non-spore-forming and spore-forming species. YqgA (COG1811) was detected in most spore-forming members but was absent in Paenibacillus and non-spore-forming species. Cell fate regulators, COG1774 (YaaT), COG3679 (YlbF, YheA/YmcA), and COG4550 (YmcA, YheA/YmcA), controlling sporulation, competence, and biofilm development processes, were observed in all spore-formers but were missing in non-spore-forming species. COG analyses further revealed resistance-conferring proteins in all spore-formers (n = 13 species) and eight actinobacterial species, responsible for enhanced membrane transport and signaling under radiation (COG3253), transcription regulation under radiation stress (COG1108), and DNA repair and stress responses (COG2318). Additional functional analysis revealed that Agrococcus phoenicis, Microbacterium canaveralium, and Microbacterium jpeli contained biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) for ε-poly-L-lysine, benefic

Journal of environmental Management 2025年 384卷 125486页

The heterogeneous Fenton-like reaction with modified zeolite was introduced for the removal of antibiotics, antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB), and antibiotic-resistant genes (ARGs) to reduce environmental impact of the substance residues in swine farm effluent. The heterogeneous Fenton-like reaction with 100 g/L of the modified zeolite and 2 mM H2O2 could completely remove amoxicillin (AMX), tetracycline (TC), and tiamulin (TIA) in the swine farm effluent within 30 min. However, the antibiotic removal in the swine farm effluent was slower than in the ultrapure water. The heterogeneous Fenton-like reaction removed approximately 45–60% of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and reduced the dissolved organic matter (DOM) sizes in the swine farm effluent. The large molecular size humic-like DOM co-existing in the swine farm effluent could probably decelerate the antibiotic removal via competitive adsorption and oxidation. To inactivate high-tolerant AMX-resistant E. coli, the heterogeneous Fenton-like reaction required 3-fold less exposure time than the H2O2 oxidation. No regrowth of the high-tolerant AMX-resistant E. coli was observed when the exposure time of the heterogeneous Fenton-like reaction was longer than 6 h. The heterogeneous Fenton-like reaction required the exposure time of 24 h to reduce the blaTEM genes, the AMX-resistant genes, of the high-tolerant AMX-resistant E. coli to the level of lower than the limit of detection. The results suggest that different reaction times are required for the removal of antibiotics (within 30 min), ARB (over 6 h), and ARGs (within 24 h). Furthermore, the heterogeneous Fenton-like reaction with the modified zeolite is a promising technology for sequential and efficient removal of antibiotics, ARB, and ARGs residues in swine farm effluent before being discharged into the environment. © 2025 Elsevier Ltd

The world's continuous demographic expansion has driven a growing demand for a stable food supply, making the agriculture sector a key foundation for sustainable food production. However, the widespread use of conventional fertilizers has resulted in significant environmental and economic drawbacks, including inefficient nutrient delivery and nutrient leaching. These challenges highlight the urgent need for innovative agricultural solutions. This article reviews the adverse impacts of conventional fertilizer use on ecosystems and discusses the transition to slow-release fertilizers (SRF) as a promising alternative. SRF offers more controlled nutrient release, reducing nutrient loss and improving efficiency compared to traditional fertilizers. The article examines different types of SRF, their mechanisms, advantages, limitations, and their potential to transform modern agriculture by addressing both environmental concerns and crop nutrient management. Key challenges, including high production costs and the use of non-biodegradable coatings, are addressed. This review highlights the potential of bio-based coatings as replacements for non-renewable petroleum-based materials in SRFs, promoting sustainable practices and reducing potential toxicity in agricultural applications. The evolution of SRFs into multifunctional fertilizers is also discussed, emphasizing their expanding roles beyond controlled nutrient release. © 2025 Elsevier Ltd

Heavy metal and microplastic pollutions are prevalent in freshwater ecosystems, with many freshwater bodies being contaminated by one or both of these pollutants. Recent studies reported extreme detections of Cd, Pb and Zn, high concentrations of Cr, Pb and Cu and microplastics acting as vectors of pollutants, including heavy metals. Mayflies can serve as bioindicators of heavy metal contamination in freshwater ecosystems because changes in their community structure, physiology, and behaviour can reflect and help predict the concentrations of metals in these environments. This review discusses the ecological alterations induced by tissue metal concentration in mayflies and other macroinvertebrates. As sensitive taxa to heavy metal contamination, mayflies can reflect the impacts of this pollution through their ethology and relationship to the substrate, highlighting issues such as eutrophication, alterations in community structure, inhibitory effects and sediment toxicity. Mayflies are also highly affected by microplastic exposure, which leads to ingestion, bioaccumulation, biomagnification, habitat and community alteration, behavioural changes, physiology alteration and toxicity. Mayflies bioindication metrics for assessing the impact of heavy metals and microplastics include the examination of community alteration, functional feeding behaviour, molecular structure, dietary and toxicity impacts, bioaccumulation and biomagnification and biomarkers. Current challenges for the utilization of mayflies as bioindicators include temporal variations in sensitivity, lack of universally recognised protocols and need for standardised protocols for microplastic analysis. Additionally, the applicability of mayflies as bioindicators may vary across different ecosystems, emphasising the need for selecting suitable indicators that align with the unique characteristics of the ecosystem. © 2024 The Authors
