The sessile green macroalgae in the Neopyropia aquaculture areas of the Subei Shoal are a confirmed source of green tides in the Southern Yellow Sea (SYS) of China. The green tides have a significant impact on local economic development (tourism, aquaculture, etc.) and ecological stability. In order to develop an effective method for eliminating the green macroalgae attached to Neopyropia aquaculture rafts, this study investigated the effects of mixed acid solutions (0.0475 % hydrochloric acid [HCl] and pH 2.0 citric acid) on cell damage, chlorophyll composition, phycobiliprotein content, and the photosynthetic fluorescence characteristics of Ulva prolifera and Neopyropia yezoensis. The chlorophyll contents of U. prolifera and N. yezoensis were significantly affected by the mixed acid solutions. After treatment with a mixed acid solution (4:3 volume ratio of HCl to citric acid) for 5 s, the photosynthetic pigment content of U. prolifera was significantly different from that of normal U. prolifera. However, photosynthetic pigment content in the treated N. yezoensis increased significantly. In addition, mixed acid solution treatment had a significant effect on the Fv/Fm of U. prolifera and N. yezoensis. After mixed acid treatment (4:3 HCl to citric acid), U. prolifera completely died, but the Fv/Fm of N. yezoensis was restored after 3 d. Therefore, a mixed acid solution comprising 0.0475 % HCl and pH 2.0 citric acid (at a volume ratio of 4:3) can be used as an agent for the removal of green macroalgae from Neopyropia aquaculture areas.

Background: Plant-based foods have reduced protein digestibility and frequently display unbalanced amino acid profiles. Plant-based foods are therefore considered inferior to animal-based foods in their anabolic potential. No study has assessed the anabolic potential of a vegan diet that provides a large variety of plant-based protein sources in older adults.

Background And Aims: Previous studies have yielded mixed results on the connection between dietary omega-3 and omega-6 intakes and the risk of hypertension (HTN) incidents. Therefore, we conducted a study to survey the connection between baseline dietary intake of omega-3, omega-6, and omega-6 to omega 3 (omega-6/3) fatty acids (FA) and the risk of hypertension.
Methods: We conducted a prospective cohort study and assessed dietary intake through a 118-item food frequency questionnaire (FFQ).

A biohydrogen and polyhydroxyalkanoates(PHA)-producing natural photoheterotrophic mixed culture composed mainly by Rhodopseudomonas palustris and Clostridium sp was studied by a proteomic analysis under non-growth conditions (nitrogen-absence and organic acids). Proteins in C. pasteurianum were upregulated, particularly those related to stress response.

We demonstrate the proof of concept of increasing the bioavailability of carbon substrates, derived from plastic waste, for their conversion to the biodegradable polymer polyhydroxyalkanoate [PHA] by bacteria and test various approaches to PHA accumulation through batch, fed batch and continuous culture. Styrene, ethylbenzene, and toluene are produced from the pyrolysis of mixed plastic waste (Kaminsky, 2021; Miandad et al., 2017), but they are volatile and poorly soluble in water making them difficult to work with in aqueous fermentation systems.

Background: Previous studies have demonstrated perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) impact renal function, with albumin playing dominant role in their transport and accumulation. However, the mediating role of albumin in PFAS-induced renal impairment and the identification of sensitive populations remain uninvestigated.
Methods: This study included 9328 individuals from NHANES 1999-2018 with data on serum PFAS, creatinine, albumin, and covariates.
