Bioaugmentation is an efficient method for improving the efficiency of coking wastewater removal. Nevertheless, how different immobilization approaches affect the efficiency of bioaugmentation remains unclear, as does the corresponding mechanism. With the assistance of immobilized bioaugmentation strain Rhodococcus biphenylivorans B403, the removal of synthetic coking wastewater was investigated (drying agent, alginate agent, and absorption agent). The reactor containing the absorption agent exhibited the highest average removal efficiency of phenol (99.74 %), chemical oxygen demand (93.09 %), and NH-N (98.18 %). Compared to other agents, the covered extracellular polymeric substance on the absorption agent surface enhanced electron transfer and quorum sensing, and the promoted quorum sensing benefited the activated sludge stability and microbial regulation. The phytotoxicity test revealed that the wastewater's toxicity was greatly decreased in the reactor with the absorption agent, especially under high phenol concentrations. These findings showed that the absorption agent was the most suitable for wastewater treatment bioaugmentation.

Near-infrared (NIR) phototheranostics (PTs) show higher tissue penetration depth, signal-to-noise ratio, and better biosafety than PTs in the ultraviolet and visible regions. However, their further advancement is severely hindered by poor performances and short-wavelength absorptions/emissions of PT agents. Among reported PT agents, conjugated small molecular nanoparticles (CSMNs) prepared from D-A-typed photoactive conjugated small molecules (CSMs) have greatly mediated this deadlock by their high photostability, distinct chemical structure, tunable absorption, intrinsic multifunctionality, and favorable biocompatibility, which endows CSMNs with more possibilities in biological applications.

The conversion of diluted CO₂ into high-energy fuels is increasingly central to renewable energy research. This study investigates the efficacy of a Gd₂NiMnO₆ dendritic nanofibrous (DNF) photocatalyst in transforming carbon dioxide to methane through photoreduction. Gd₂NiMnO₆ DNF was found to provide active adsorption sites and control the strand dimensions for metal groups, facilitating the chemical absorption of CO₂.

Melanin with antioxidant and antibacterial properties can be used in food, cosmetics, biotechnology, and other fields, but its insolubility become a main challenge hindering for its application. In this study, water-soluble melanin produced by the novel species Streptomyces vilmorinianum YP1 was characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), UVvisible spectroscopy (with an absorption peak at 220nm), and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The glycosyltransferase gene ORF14 was knocked out, which improved the production of water-soluble melanin by inhibiting competitive pathway.

Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) and biochar (BC) are recognized as effective biological agents for enhancing stress tolerance and mitigating heavy metal toxicity in crops. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the effects of the cadmium (Cd)-resistant PGPR strain Leclercia adecarboxylata HW04 (>4 mM Cd resistance) on soybean plants exposed to 300 μM Cd. HW04 was observed to possess the innate ability to synthesize indole-3-acetic acid and exopolysaccharides, which facilitated the absorption of Cd in the medium.

In the manipulation of π-conjugated organic polymer, strategic alterations to the polymerization cascade facilitate the integration of donor (D) and acceptor (A) entities within the polymer's backbone. Such control is instrumental in broadening the photoresponse spectrum, enhancing photoinduced charge separation, and augmenting the efficiency of charge transfer processes. The oxygen-containing amino group (-ONH) was innovatively grafted into the polymerization process of the triazine-heptazine ring skeleton, and the -ONH was used as a capping agent to change the chain bonding in the polymerization process, thus a new intramolecular D-A structure was successfully constructed.
