Published: October 2017

Sustainability of nutrient requirements for microbial proliferation on a large scale is a challenge in bioremediation processes. This article presents data on biochemical properties of a free cyanide resistant and total nitrogen assimilating fungal isolate from the rhizosphere of (maize) growing in soil contaminated with a cyanide-based pesticide. DNA extracted from this isolate were PCR amplified using universal primers; TEF1-α and ITS. The raw sequence files are available on the NCBI database. Characterisation using biochemical data was obtained using colorimetric reagents analysed with VITEK 2 software version 7.01. The data will be informative in selection of biocatalyst for environmental engineering application.

State Key Laboratory of NBC Protection for Civilian, Beijing, P.R. China.

A TFA-catalyzed dearomative cyanidation of isoquinoline is described, which provides a series of 1-cyanoisoquinolines in high yields under solvent-free conditions. This protocol is operated under mild and environmentally friendly conditions, utilizing readily available and cost-effective starting materials. The reaction features broad functional group compatibility, 100 mmol scale synthesis ability and operational simplicity, making it a significant potential approach for the synthesis of various biologically interesting isoquinolines α C-cyanation.

Determination of free cyanide (fCN) is required for various industrial, environmental, food, and clinical samples. Enzymatic methods are not widely used in this field despite their selectivity and mild conditions. Therefore, we present here a proof of concept for new spectrophotometric enzymatic assays of fCN.

Article Synopsis
  • A new colorimetric method for detecting free cyanide in water uses dispersed microparticles to capture color-producing compounds combined with colorimetric reagents and an adsorbent.* -
  • A mobile photography box (MPB) compatible with smartphones standardizes lighting for consistent image analysis of color changes in the particles.* -
  • This method is quick (10 minutes), highly sensitive (detection limit of 0.005 mg/L), portable, and shows reduced interference from other colors compared to traditional methods.*

Article Synopsis
  • * The bacterial solution and cell-free supernatant derived from SF416 demonstrated notable preventive effects against the blight, achieving efficacies of 45.1% and 34.18%, respectively, while also showing some therapeutic effects.
  • * Genomic analysis of SF416 revealed genes related to motility, cold and heat shock proteins, antibiotic resistance, and growth promotion, along with gene clusters that produce phenazine compounds linked to its antagonistic abilities against the bacterial pathogen.

Certain negative thermal expansion (NTE) materials have been reported to exhibit anomalous lattice thermal conductivity (LTC), making them particularly interesting for theoretical studies. In Zn(CN) and Cd(CN), cyanide bonds have induced great NTE behavior and anharmonicity, making us believe they would exhibit anomalous LTC. To investigate this, we employed first-principles calculations based on density functional theory and solved the linearized Boltzmann transport equation within the relaxation time approximation to calculate the LTC.
