Oxidative damage (production and localization of reactive oxygen species) and related response mechanisms (activity of antioxidant enzymes), and induction of Heat Shock Protein 70 expression, have been studied in the toxi-tolerant liverwort (Marchantiales) in response to cadmium stress using two concentrations (36 and 360 µM CdCl). Cadmium dose-dependent production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and related activity of antioxidant enzymes was observed. The expression level of heat shock protein (Hsp)70, instead, was higher at 36 µM CdCl in comparison with the value obtained after exposure to 360 µM CdCl, suggesting a possible inhibition of the expression of this stress gene at higher cadmium exposure doses. Biological responses were related to cadmium bioaccumulation. Since was able to respond to cadmium stress by modifying biological parameters, we discuss the data considering the possibility of using these biological changes as biomarkers of cadmium pollution.

The removal of selenite (Se(IV)) and cadmium (Cd(II)) from low-carbon wastewater presents significant challenges. However, the addition of external organic carbon sources is limited in application due to the high cost and potential for secondary pollution. This study introduced a "hibernation-like microbial survival strategy", enabling efficient removal of Se(IV) and Cd(II) in sulfur autotrophic reactor, with S acting as the electron donor.

Background: Consumption of leafy vegetables is a primary route of cadmium (Cd) exposure in the human body. Salicylic acid (SA) is a major stress signaling molecule that alleviates Cd toxicity in various plants. Our study aimed to investigate the effects of different SA concentrations on spinach growth, cadmium accumulation, and stress resistance physiology under cadmium stress (50 µmol/L).
