Transcription factor Stb5p, previously known as one of the multidrug resistance gene regulators in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, was shown here to play an essential role in acetaldehyde tolerance. A mutant strain, Δstb5 exhibited increased acetaldehyde sensitivity, and failed to induce genes such as GND1, TKL1 and TAL1 involved in the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) upon acetaldehyde stress. Using this strain it was revealed that Stb5p acts as a repressor for PGI1 encoding glucose-6-phosphate isomerase under acetaldehyde stress. In reverse, over-expression of Stb5p reinforced acetaldehyde tolerance to the yeast. Furthermore, various deletion mutants of the genes involved in glycolysis showed increased acetaldehyde tolerance compared to the wild-type strain. From these results, it was suggested that Stb5p participates in acetaldehyde tolerance by regulating expression of the PPP genes and PGI1, and that down-regulation of glycolytic pathway may lead to vitalization of PPP and to increased acetaldehyde tolerance.

Gossypol removal is crucial for the resourceful utilization of cottonseed meals in the food and feed industries. Herein, we investigated the comprehensive detoxification mechanism of a gossypol-tolerant strain of (WK331) newly isolated from the rumen. Biodegradation assays showed that WK331 removes over 80% of free gossypol, of which 50% was biodegraded and 30% was converted into bound gossypol.

The direct utilization of aqueous acetaldehyde as an industrially important aqueous chemical has been hampered in organic synthesis due to the high reactivity of acetaldehyde. Herein, the first metal-free photocatalyzed selective α-monoalkylation of commercially available and safe to handle aqueous acetaldehyde (40 wt %) with inexpensive α-chloro/bromoacetophenones has been developed using 0.5 mol % 4CzIPN as an organic photosensitizer, which provides easy access to high-added-value α,β-unsubstituted 1,4-ketoaldehydes.

Wheat growth process has been experiencing severe challenges arising from the adverse environment. Notably, the incidence of Fusarium crown rot (FCR), a severe soil-borne disease caused by Fusarium pseudograminearum (Fp), has significantly intensified in various wheat-growing regions, resulting in a decline in grain yield. However, the identification of wheat varieties and the exploration of effective gene resources resistant to FCR have not yet been accomplished.

Article Synopsis
- Alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) is an important enzyme in rapeseed that helps convert alcohols and is thought to be key for coping with environmental stress, though its specific role under abiotic stress had not been studied before.
- This research identified 47 ADH genes in the rapeseed genome and classified them into four groups, revealing that they play a significant role in responding to salt stress through their genetic and protein structural features.
- The study found that overexpressing one particular gene, BnADH36, enhanced salt tolerance in rapeseed, suggesting that ADH genes are crucial for plant resilience to environmental stressors.
First exploratory study of gaseous pollutants (NO, SO, O, VOCs and carbonyls) in the Luanda metropolitan area by passive monitoring.

Article Synopsis
- An air quality monitoring campaign in Luanda, Angola, in June 2023 examined gaseous pollutants at 25 locations, finding that traffic-heavy areas had higher levels of benzene, toluene, SO, and NO, but these were within WHO guidelines.
- * Ozone levels were notably higher than in other African regions, with heavy traffic areas showing a strong potential for ozone formation, primarily from compounds like m,p-xylene and toluene.
- * Despite moderate risk for non-cancer diseases across most sites, the Mulenvos landfill showed a high hazard quotient, and overall cancer risks exceeded acceptable levels, primarily driven by naphthalene exposure.*
