Aflatoxin B (AFB) contaminates rice during harvest or storage and causes a considerable risk to human and animal health. In this study, AFB-degrading enzyme (TV-AFBD) gene recombinantly expressed in engineered BL21 (DE3) and . The TV-AFBD enzymatic characteristics and AFB degradation efficiency in contaminated rice were investigated. Results showed that the size of recombinant TV-AFBD expressing in BL21 (DE3) and was appropriately 77 KDa. The kinetic equation of TV-AFBD was = 0.01671 + 1.80756 ( = 0.994, = 9.24 mM, and = 553.23 mM/min). The and / values of TV-AFBD were 0.07392 (s) and 8 M s, respectively. The AFB concentration of contaminated rice decreased from 100 μg/ml to 32.6 μg/ml after treatment at 32°C for 5 h under the catabolism of TV-AFBD. engineered strains carrying aldehyde oxidase 1 () and 35 S ( 35 S) promoters caused the residual AFB contents, respectively, decreased to 3.4 and 2.9 μg/g from the initial AFB content of 7.4 μg/g after 24 h of fermentation using AFB-contaminated rice as substrate. The AFB degradation rates of engineered strains carrying and promoters were 54 and 61%, respectively. Engineered strains integrated with TV-AFBD expression cassettes were developed to simultaneously degrade AFB and produce ethanol using AFB-contaminated rice as substrate. Thus, TV-AFBD has significant application potential in the AFB decomposition from contaminated agricultural products.

The efficient degradation of SAs is a significant challenge for the treatment of wastewater. To address this, the FeS@BC was prepared by calcining a mixture of pyrite and biomass, and used to activate peroxydisulfate (PDS) to degrade sulfadiazine (SDZ). The effect of carbon sources (wheat straw, rice husk, and corn cob) on catalytic activity of FeS@BC were investigated by Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), total Fe dissolution and free radical quantification.

Phosphorus (P) is an essential nutrient for rice growth, and the presence of phosphate-solubilizing bacteria (PSB) is an effective means to increase soil P content. However, the direct application of PSB may have minimal significance due to their low survival in soil. Biochar serves as a carrier that enhances microbial survival, and its porous structure and surface characteristics ensure the adsorption of .

The accumulation of aniline in the natural environment poses a potential threat to crops, and thus, investigating the effects of aniline on plants holds practical implications for agricultural engineering and its affiliated industries. This study combined physiological, transcriptomic, and metabolomic methods to investigate the growth status and molecular-level response mechanisms of rice under stress from varying concentrations of aniline. At a concentration of 1 mg/L, aniline exhibited a slight growth-promoting effect on rice.

Antimony (Sb) contamination in paddy fields can lead to its accumulation in rice grains, posing a threat to food safety. To address this issue, the combined use of zero-valent iron (ZVI) and biochar (BC) were applied to decrease the uptake of Sb in Sb-polluted soils, and their effects on Sb uptake from soil to rice grains were investigated. Our results showed that the combination treatment of 0.

Rice, wheat, and maize grains are staple foods, widely consumed for their mineral and nutritional values. However, they can accumulate toxic elements from contaminated soils, posing health risks. This study investigates the bioaccumulation patterns of 52 elements (including nutrients, heavy metals, and rare earth elements) in various parts (grain, husk, straw, and root) of cereals grown in a heavily polluted region.
