Impact of bacterial cell concentration on microbial-mediated cerium carbonate precipitation for efficient heavy metal removal: Insights from adsorption isotherm, kinetics, and thermodynamics.

Heavy metals (HMs) pollution is a pervasive environmental issue needs significant attention through bioremediation. Present study investigated the potentiality of Microbial-mediated Cerium Carbonate Precipitation (MMCCP) in simultaneous removal of HMs (Cr, Pb, and Cu) using different cellular concentration of Sporosarcina pasteurii. Results from SEM analysis revealed formation of spherical and rod-like structures (∼112nm), and finally XRD and FTIR confirmed the formation of high-purity crystalline CeCOOH with surface-bound hydroxyl groups and CO ions, indicating successful cerium incorporation and formation in CeCOOH.

Evaluation and mitigation of potentially toxic elements contamination in mangrove ecosystem: Insights into phytoremediation and microbial perspective.

Mangroves, essential coastal ecosystems, are threatened by human-induced Potentially-toxic-elements (PTEs) pollution. This study analyzed PTEs distribution, phytoremediation potential, and rhizosphere microbial communities in Taiwan's Xinfeng mangrove forest. Significant variations in physicochemical and PTEs concentrations were observed across adjacent water bodies, with moderate contamination in the river, estuary, and overlying water of mangroves sediment.

Insight interactions of engineered nanoparticles with aquatic higher plants for phytoaccumulation, phytotoxicity, and phytoremediation applications: A review.

With the growing age of human civilization, industrialization has paced up equally which is followed by the innovation of newer concepts of science and technology. One such example is the invention of engineered nanoparticles and their flagrant use in widespread applications. While ENPs serve their intended purposes, they also disrupt the ecological balance by contaminating pristine aquatic ecosystems.

Biologically-induced synthetic manganese carbonate precipitate (BISMCP) for potential applications in heavy metal removal.

Heavy metal pollution of water is a burning issue of today's world. Among several strategies involved for heavy metal remediation purpose, biomineralization has shown great potential. Of late, research has been focused on developing effective mineral adsorbents with reduced time and cost consumption.

Ubiquitination Occurs in the Mitochondrial Matrix by Eclipsed Targeted Components of the Ubiquitination Machinery.

Ubiquitination is a critical type of post-translational modification in eukaryotic cells. It is involved in regulating nearly all cellular processes in the cytosol and nucleus. Mitochondria, known as the metabolism heart of the cell, are organelles that evolved from bacteria.

Insights into the Formations of Host-Guest Complexes Based on the Benzimidazolium Based Ionic Liquids-β-Cyclodextrin Systems.

Inclusion complexation is one of the best strategies for developing a controlled release of a toxic drug without unexpected side effects from the very beginning of the administration to the target site. In this study, three benzimidazolium based ionic liquids (ILs) having bromide anion and cation bearing long alkyl chains, hexyl- ([CCFBim]Br), octyl- ([CCFBim]Br), and decyl- ([CCFBim]Br) were designed and synthesized as antibacterial drugs. Inclusion complexes (ICs) of studied ILs have been prepared by the combination of β-cyclodextrin (β-CD), considering these conjugations should enhance the benignity of ILs and make them potential candidates for the controlled drug release.

A combination of Class-I fumarases and metabolites (α-ketoglutarate and fumarate) signal the DNA damage response in .

Class-II fumarases (fumarate hydratase, FH) are dual-targeted enzymes occurring in the mitochondria and cytosol of all eukaryotes. They are essential components in the DNA damage response (DDR) and, more specifically, protect cells from DNA double-strand breaks. Similarly, the gram-positive bacterium class-II fumarase, in addition to its role in the tricarboxylic acid cycle, participates in the DDR.

Two novel cell culture models of buccal mucosal oral cancer from patients with no risk-habits of tobacco smoking or chewing.

Objective: Tobacco consumption is one of the major etiological factors for oral cancer, but it also develops in non-tobacco users, with unknown etiologies. Cellular models for tobacco associated oral cancer are available, however; reports of cellular models for studying non-tobacco associated oral cancer are limiting. We report here the establishment and characterization of two novel buccal mucosal cancer cell lines 'GBC02' and 'GBC035' derived from non-tobacco users.

Evidences for Inclusion and Encapsulation of an Ionic liquid with β-CD and 18-C-6 in Aqueous Environments by Physicochemical Investigation.

The interface between pyrrolidinium-based ionic liquid, i.e., 1-ethyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium bromide, with β-cyclodextrin and 18-crown-6 solution have been compared and explored by means of density, viscosity, refractive index, electrical conductance and surface tension, FTIR, H nuclear magnetic resonance, 2D ROESY NMR, and high resolution mass spectroscopy studies.
