Common carp sperm chromatin as an economical and effective remover for benzo()pyrene from pollutants.

Benzo (a) pyrene is a highly carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic compound, difficult to be degraded, widely present in the environment. However, there is currently no cost-effective and efficient method for removing benzo (a) pyrene. In this study, a feasible method was introduced to cheaply and efficiently adsorb benzo()pyrene using chromatin.

Characterization and the first complete genome sequence of a novel strain of Bergeyella porcorum isolated from pigs in China.

Background: Bergeyella porcorum is a newly identified bacterium that has an ambiguous relationship with pneumonia in pigs. However, few studies have adequately characterized this species.

Results: In this study, we analyzed the morphological, physiological, and genomic characteristics of the newly identified B.

Efficient removal of ethidium bromide from aqueous solutions using chromatin-loaded chitosan polyvinyl alcohol composites.

In this work, a novel chromatin-loaded chitosan polyvinyl alcohol composite was developed as a simple, efficient and environmentally friendly adsorbent for the efficient removal of ethidium bromide (EtBr). SEM images showed that the composites were characterized by dense porous and uniformly distributed morphology. The BET analysis showed the presence of mesopores and macropores in the composites.

Efficient liquid exfoliation of KP nanowires aided by Hansen's empirical theory.

The KP nanowires with one-dimensional properties has a defect-free surface, high anisotropy, and carrier mobility which is desirable for the development of novel nanodevices. However, the preparation of nanoscale KP is still inefficient. In this work, the Hansen solubility parameters of KP were first obtained.

Smart CuS Nanoparticles as Peroxidase Mimetics for the Design of Novel Label-Free Chemiluminescent Immunoassay.

In the present work, a novel label-free chemiluminescent (CL) immunoassay method was designed by employing smart CuS nanoparticles (CuSNPs) as peroxidase mimetics. The CuSNPs were synthesized through a simple coprecipitation method, and showed high catalytic activity and stability. This efficient label-free CL immunoassay could be easily achieved through a simple strategy.
