Citric acid (CA) is the major exudate of rice roots, yet the effects of CA on arsenic (As) transformation and microbial community in flooded paddy soil have not been clearly elucidated. In this study, microcosms were established by amending CA to As contaminated paddy soils, mimicking the rhizosphere environment. Results showed that 0.5% CA addition significantly enhanced As mobilization after one-hour incubation, increased total As in porewater by about 20-fold. CA addition induced arsenate release into porewater, and subsequently formed ternary complex of As, iron and organic matters, inhibiting further As transformation (including arsenate reduction and arsenite methylation). Furthermore, the results of linear discriminant analysis (LDA) effect size (LEfSe) and network analysis revealed that CA addition significantly enriched bacteria associated with arsenic and iron reductions, such as Clostridium (up to 35-fold) and Desulfitobacterium (up to 4-fold). Our results suggest that CA exhibits robust ability to mobilize As through both chemical and microbial processes, increasing the risk of As accumulation by rice. This study sheds light on our understanding of As mobilization and transformation in rhizosphere soil, potentially providing effective strategies to restrict As accumulation in food crops by screening or cultivating varieties with low CA exuding.

Although the use of foliar spraying with organic matter has been extensively studied and applied to reduce heavy metals in plants, research on its application for reducing mercury (Hg) accumulation in plants, particularly the more toxic methylmercury (MeHg), remains scarce. Furthermore, previous researches on the barrier mechanisms of foliar spraying primarily concentrated on the effects of spraying agents on plant physiological and biochemical indicators, with limited focus on their impacts on soil environment. Herein, the dynamic effects and mechanisms of organic foliar spraying materials, including earthworm liquid fertilizer (ELF), Tween 80 (T80), and citric acid (CA), on soil Hg methylation and accumulation in lettuce were investigated using pot experiment.

Water pollution caused by antibiotics is considered a major and growing issue. To address this challenge, high-performance copper vanadate-based biochar (CuVO/BC) nanocomposite photocatalysts were prepared to develop an efficient visible light-driven photocatalytic system for the remediation of tetracycline (TC) contaminated water. The effects of photocatalyst mass, solution pH, pollutant concentration, and common anions on the TC degradation were investigated in detail.

How different stress responses by male and female plants are influenced by interactions with rhizosphere microbes remains unclear. In this study, we employed poplar as a dioecious model plant and quantified biotic associations between microorganisms to explore the relationship between microbial associations and plant adaptation. We propose a health index (HI) to comprehensively characterize the physiological characteristics and adaptive capacity of plants under stress.

Introduction: The mechanism of tannic acid (TA) intervention on methicillin-resistant (MRSA, USA 300) biofilm formation was explored using proteomics.
Methods: The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of TA against the MRSA standard strain USA 300 was determined by two-fold serial dilution of the microbroth. The effects of TA were studied using crystal violet staining.

Ectoine is a high-value protective agent with extensive applications in the fields of fine chemicals and biopharmaceuticals, and it is naturally synthesized by Halomonas in extreme environment, however, the current production level cannot meet the growing market demand. In this study, we aimed to develop an efficient and environmentally friendly ectoine production process using Bacillus licheniformis as the host organism. Through introducing ectoine synthetase gene cluster ectABC from Halomonas elongate, as well as optimizing ectABC expression by promoter and 5'-UTR optimization, ectoine titer was increased to 0.
