Currently, Pb pollution has become a severe environmental problem and filamentous fungi hold a promising potential for the treatment of Pb-containing wastewater. The present study showed that the strain Pleurotus ostreatus ISS-1 had a strong ability to tolerate Pb at high concentration and reached a removal rate of 53.7% in liquid media. Pb was removed by extracellular biosorption, intracellular bioaccumulation by mycelia, or precipitation with extracellular oxalic acids. On the cellular level, Pb was mainly distributed in the cell wall, followed by vacuoles and organelles. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis indicated that hydroxyl, amides, carboxyl, and sulfhydryl groups provided binding sites for Pb. Furthermore, Pb was found on the cell surface in the form of PbS and PbCO through X-ray diffraction (XRD). Intracellular chelates such as thiol compounds and oxalic acid, as well as extracellular oxalic acid, might play an important role in the tolerance of Pb. In addition, isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ) analysis showed that ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter, cytochrome P450, peroxisome, and the calcium signaling pathway might participate in both accumulation and detoxification of Pb. These results have successfully provided a basis for further developing Pb polluted water treatment technology by fungi.

In recent years, it has become widely acknowledged that heavy metals are often present in oil-contaminated sites. This study utilized three specific types of microorganisms with different functions to construct a composite bacterial consortium for treating lubricant-Cr(VI) composite pollutants. The selected strains were Lysinbacillus fusiformis and Bacillus tropicus.

The combined application of dissimilatory iron-reducing bacteria (DIRB) and Fe(III) nanoparticles has garnered widespread interest in the contaminants transformation and removal. The efficiency of this composite system relies on the extracellular electron transfer (EET) process between DIRB and Fe(III) nanoparticles. While modifications to Fe(III) nanoparticles have demonstrated improvements in EET, enhancing DIRB activity also shows potential for further EET enhancement, meriting further investigation.

Article Synopsis
- Oxalate nephropathy involves calcium oxalate crystals that cause damage to renal cells and trigger inflammation; the exact mechanisms, particularly relating to immune cell involvement, are not fully understood.
- This study tested the hypothesis that NINJ1, which causes membrane rupture and releases inflammatory signals, plays a key role in worsening kidney damage during oxalate nephropathy.
- Results show that deleting Ninj1 in immune cells reduces kidney injury by lowering harmful signals and cell death, highlighting the importance of NINJ1 in this type of kidney disease.
Effects of phosphorus-solubilizing bacteria and biochar application on phosphorus availability and tomato growth under phosphorus stress.

Background: Phosphorus-solubilizing bacteria (PSB) are vital in converting insoluble phosphorus into a soluble form that plants can readily absorb and utilize in soil. While previous studies have mainly focused on the extracellular secretion of microorganisms, few have explored the intricate intracellular metabolic processes involved in PSB-mediated phosphorus solubilization.
Results: Here, we uncovered that Ca(PO) could serve as a source of insoluble phosphorus for the PSB, Pseudomonas sp.
Internalization of extracellular vesicles of cancer patients by peripheral blood mononuclear cells during polychemotherapy: connection with neurotoxicity.

Extracellular vesicles (EVs), exhibiting their functional activity after internalization by recipient cells, are involved in the pathogenesis of drug-induced polyneuropathy (DIPN), a common complication of antitumor therapy. In this work, the internalization of EVs obtained from colorectal cancer patients undergoing polychemotherapy and its relationship with neurotoxicity were assessed using a model system of mononuclear leukocytes. Circulating EVs were isolated from 8 colorectal cancer patients who received antitumor therapy according to the FOLFOX or XELOX regimens before the start of chemotherapy (point 1) and after 3-4 courses (point 2).
