Propionate outperforms conventional acetate as electron donors for highly-sensitive electrochemical active biofilm sensors in water biotoxicity early-warning.

With the ability to generate in situ real-time electric signals, electrochemically active biofilm (EAB) sensors have attracted wide attention as a promising water biotoxicity early-warning device. Organic matters serving as the electron donors potentially affect the electric signal's output and the sensitivity of the EAB sensor. To explore the influence of organic matters on EAB sensor's performance, this study tested six different organic matters during the sensor's inoculation.

Introduction: White is a popular edible mushroom. It is rich in nutrition and flavor but vulnerable to fungal disease, resulting in nutrient loss and aging.

Methods: In this study, the pathogenic fungus spp.

Whole-cell biophotovoltaic systems for renewable energy generation: A systematic analysis of existing knowledge.

The development of carbon-neutral fuel sources is an essential step in addressing the global fossil energy crisis. Whole-cell biophotovoltaic systems (BPVs) are a renewable, non-polluting energy-generating device that utilizes oxygenic photosynthetic microbes (OPMs) to split water molecules and generate bioelectricity under the driving of light energy. Since 2006, BPVs have been widely studied, with the order magnitudes of power density increasing from 10 mW/m to 10 mW/m.

Titanium mesh as the anode of electrochemically active biofilm sensor for improved sensitivity in water toxicity real-time early-warning.

As serious water ecological pollution caused by toxicant leakage occurs frequently, early-warning for toxicity presented in water environment attracts increasing attentions as it saves time to retain water safety and human health. Electrochemically active biofilm (EAB) sensor is a promising device for in situ real-time water toxicity early-warning. To improve the sensitivity of EAB sensor particularly for low-concentration toxicity warning, this study employed titanium mesh (TiM) as the anode to construct an EAB sensor.

Extracellular electron transfer and the conductivity in microbial aggregates during biochemical wastewater treatment: A bottom-up analysis of existing knowledge.

Microbial extracellular electron transfer (EET) plays a crucial role in bioenergy production and resource recovery from wastewater. Interdisciplinary efforts have been made to unveil EET processes at various spatial scales, from nanowires to microbial aggregates. Electrical conductivity has been frequently measured as an indicator of EET efficiency.

l-Cysteine Treatment Delayed the Quality Deterioration of Fresh-Cut Button Mushrooms by Regulating Oxygen Metabolism, Inhibiting Water Loss, and Stimulating Endogenous HS Production.

Although fresh-cut button mushrooms are popular with consumers, quality deterioration presents a significant shelf-life challenge. In this study, fresh-cut button mushrooms were treated with 0.25 g/L lcysteine (lCys) and evaluated in terms of quality, physiology, and transcriptome sequencing.
