Pseudomonas sp. ZHL02, removing nitrogen via ammonia nitrogen (NH) → hydroxylamine (HNOH) → nitrite (NO) → nitrate (NO) → NO → nitric oxide (NO) → nitrous oxide (NO) pathway was employed for getting in-depth information on the heterotrophic nitrification-aerobic denitrification (HNAD) pathway from carbon oxidation, nitrogen conversion, electron transport process, enzyme activity, as well as gene expression while sodium succinate, sodium citrate, and sodium acetate were utilized as the carbon sources. The nitrogen balance analysis results demonstrated that ZHL02 mainly removed NH-N through assimilation. The carbon source metabolism resulted in the discrepancies in electron transport chain and nitrogen removal between different HNAD bacteria. Moreover, the prokaryotic strand-specific transcriptome method showed that, amo and hao were absent in ZHL02, and unknown genes may be involved in ZHL02 during the HNAD process. As a fascinating process for removing nitrogen, the HNAD process is still puzzling, and the relationship between carbon metabolism and nitrogen metabolism among different HNAD pathways should be studied further.

Capacitive dielectric temperature sensors based on polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) loaded with 10 vol% of inexpensive, commercially-available conductive fillers including copper, graphite, and milled carbon fiber (PDMS-CF) powders are reported. The sensors are tested in the range of 20-110 °C and from 0.5 to 200 MHz, with enhanced sensitivity from 20 to 60 °C, and a relative response of 85.

The fate and degradation of organic matter in aquatic systems is a vital link in nutrient cycling and sedimentation processes influenced by exogenous and endogenous factors, such as inputs from upstream sources, sediment suspension, and the decomposition of aquatic organisms. The interplay of organic carbon, microbes, and environmental factors shapes the distribution and degradation of organic matter. Characterizing the source distribution of sedimentary organic matter in aquatic systems using novel proxies can unravel new insights into the mechanisms that control its dispersal, preservation and fate, which is essential to understanding the global carbon and nitrogen cycles.

Purpose Of Review: A major contributor to household air pollution (HAP) in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) is unclean cooking fuel. Improved cookstove technology (ICT) interventions have been promoted as a solution, but their impacts on health are unclear. Our aim is to conduct a systematic review to explore the impacts of ICT interventions on health outcomes in SSA.

The fermentative production of valuable chemicals from lignocellulosic feedstocks has attracted considerable attention. Although Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a promising microbial host, it lacks the ability to efficiently metabolize xylose, a major component of lignocellulosic feedstocks. The xylose oxidative pathway offers advantages such as simplified metabolic regulation and fewer enzymatic steps.

Fluorescent nanosensors operating have shown recent success toward informing basic plant biology and agricultural applications. We developed near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent nanosensors using the Corona Phase Molecular Recognition (CoPhMoRe) technique that distinguish Fe(II) and Fe(III) species with limit of detection as low as 10 nM. An anionic poly(p-phenyleneethynylene) (PPE) polyelectrolyte wrapped single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) shows up to 200% turn-on and 85% turn-off responses to Fe(II) and Fe(III), respectively, allowing spatial and temporal analysis of iron uptake in both foliar and root-to-shoot pathways.
