The biosorption of phenol on non-living lyophilized mycelial pellets of Phanerochaete chrysosporium cultivated in liquid medium of various compositions was studied in batch biosorption system. The fungal cell surfaces were characterized by FTIR spectroscopy and specific surface charge determination. The sorption kinetics and equilibrium were evaluated using linear and non-linear regression. For adsorption equilibrium, a comparative evaluation is also presented using non-linear least-square estimation and linearization of the Langmuir and anti-Langmuir equations. The presence of mineral and vitamin materials in the liquid medium enhanced the adsorption capacity of fungal biomass for phenol. At optimum pH 5-6, the values of specific surface charge were 0.023 and 0.069 meq g for various cultivations, and the maximum amounts of phenol can be adsorbed at these pH values. The maximum adsorbed phenol amounts by cells cultivated in simple and complex media were 4.53 and 13.48 mg g, respectively, at an initial phenol concentration of 100 mg l. Graphical abstract ᅟ.

Nanocell COVID-19 vaccine triggers a novel immune response pathway producing high-affinity antibodies which neutralize all variants of concern.

Most current anti-viral vaccines elicit a humoral and cellular immune response the pathway of phagocytic cell mediated viral antigen presentation to B and T cell surface receptors. However, this pathway results in reduced ability to neutralize S-protein Receptor Binding Domains (RBDs) from several Variants of Concern (VOC) and the rapid waning of memory B cell response requiring vaccine reformulation to cover dominant VOC S-proteins and multiple boosters. Here we show for the first time in mice and humans, that a bacterially derived, non-living, nanocell (EDV; EnGeneIC Dream Vector) packaged with plasmid expressed SARS-CoV-2 S-protein and α-galactosyl ceramide adjuvant (EDV-COVID-αGC), stimulates an alternate pathway due to dendritic cells (DC) displaying both S-polypeptides and αGC thereby recruiting and activating iNKT cells with release of IFNγ.

Article Synopsis
- Microalgae show promise for removing low concentrations of pharmaceuticals, like fluoxetine, from domestic wastewater in both living and non-living forms.
- Kinetic studies revealed that non-living microalgae absorb fluoxetine faster than living ones, with the biosorption capacity being higher in living microalgae (1.9 mg/g) compared to non-living (1.6 mg/g).
- Both living and immobilized microalgae achieved complete fluoxetine removal within six days, with significant efficiency in removing total nitrogen (up to 86.2%) and phosphorus (up to 65%).
Chlorella vulgaris meets TiO NPs: Effective sorbent/photocatalytic hybrid materials for water treatment application.

A new class of bio-nano hybrid catalyst useable in downstream wastewater treatment was developed. We combined the sorption potentialities of Chlorella vulgaris microalgae with the photocatalytic properties of TiO NPs in order to investigate unexplored synergistic effects that could push the algal remediation technology toward a more promising cost-effective balance. We exploited non-living C.
