Multi-targets detection via combination of multi-stimulus-response engineered bacteria and hydrogel-based separation platform.

Establishing a method similar to ICP-MS that can quantitatively analyze multiple heavy metals simultaneously, conveniently, and in situ is highly anticipated. In this study, we integrated the sensing elements of multiple targets and different fluorescence reporting elements to construct an engineered Escherichia coli. When these targets are present, the engineered bacteria can emit a fluorescent signal at the corresponding wavelength.

Insight into enhanced Fenton-like degradation of antibiotics over CuFeO based nanocomposite: To improve the utilization efficiency of OH/O via minimizing its migration distance.

In Fenton or Fenton-like processes, the key step is to catalyze HO and produce highly reactive OH radicals. More efforts are then focus on designing efficient heterogeneous Fenton catalysts by activating HO to generate OH at the highest possible steady state concentration. In this study, using the antibiotic ofloxacin as target organic pollutant, we firstly demonstrate a point of view for improving OH utilization efficiency by regulating surface chemical reactions to minimizing its migration distance to the target pollutant.
