Application of Acinetobacter indicus to promote cigarette smoke particulate matter phytoremediation: removal efficiency and plant-microbe interactions.

Particulate matter (PM) is one of the most hazardous atmospheric pollutants. Several plant species show high potential to reduce air pollutants and are widely used as green belts to provide clean outdoor spaces for human well-being. However, high PM concentrations cause physiological changes and stress in plants.

Sansevieria trifasciata's specific metabolite improves tolerance and efficiency for particulate matter and volatile organic compound removal.

Phytoremediation has become famous for removing particulate matter (PM) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), but the ability is affected by plant health. Lately, the priming technique was a simple approach to studying improving plant tolerance against abiotic stress by specific metabolites that accumulated, known as "memory", but the mechanism underlying this mechanism and how long this "memory" was retained in the plant was a lack of study. Sansevieria trifasciata was primed for one week for PM and VOC stress to improve plant efficiency on PM and VOC.

Using stacked pot connection of wetland microbial fuel cells to charge the battery: Potential and effecting factor.

In the practical application of wetland microbial fuel cells (WMFCs), suitable designs and stacked connection systems have consistently been employed to increase and harvest power generation. Our study compares different WMFCs designs and demonstrates that the cylinder pot design outperforms the small hanging pot design in terms of electrical energy production. Moreover, power generation from the cylinder pot can be further optimized through separator modification and stacked connections.

Exogenous of different elicitors: proline and ornithine on Sansevieria trifasciata under particulate matter (PM) and volatile organic compounds (VOC).

Phytoremediation has become famous for removing particulate matter (PM) and volatile organic compounds (VOC) in situ. Plants for removing PM and VOC were associated with botanical biofilters to attract pollution to the plant. On the other hand, persistent pollution exposure can lower plant health and phytoremediation effectiveness; therefore, improving plant tolerance against stress is necessary.

Light-emitting plants development by inoculating of Vibrio campbellii RMT1 on the rhizospheric zone of Aglaonema cochinchinense.

The concept of utilizing light-emitting plants (LEPs) as an alternative to traditional electricity-based lighting has garnered interest. However, challenges persist due to the need for genetic modification or chemical infusion in current LEPs. To address this, researchers have investigated the interaction between plants and luminous bacteria, specifically Vibrio campbellii, which can efficiently be translocated into Aglaonema cochinchinense tissues through the roots to produce LEPs.
