Understanding the intricate interplay between nanoparticle-mediated cyanobacterial interactions is pivotal in elucidating their impact on the transcriptome and lipidome. In the present study, total fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) in the wild-type (B481-WT) and transformant (B481-SD) Fremyella diplosiphon strains treated with nanoscale zero-valent iron nanoparticles (nZVIs) were characterized, and transcriptome changes analyzed. Comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography-time-of-flight mass spectrometry revealed a 20-25% higher percentage of FAMEs in nZVI-treated F. diplosiphon strain B481-SD compared to B481-WT. Accumulation of alkanes was significantly higher (> 1.4 times) in both strains treated with 25.6 mg L nZVIs compared to the untreated control. In addition, we observed significantly higher levels of monounsaturated FAMEs (11%) in B481-WT in 3.2 (11.34%) and 25.6 mg L (11.22%) nZVI-treated cells when compared to the untreated control (7%). Analysis of the F. diplosiphon transcriptome treated with 3.2 mg L revealed a total of 1811 and 1651 genes that were differentially expressed in B481-SD and B481-WT respectively. While the expression of iron uptake and ion channel genes was downregulated, genes coding for photosynthesis, pigment, and antioxidant enzymes were significantly (p < 0.05) upregulated in B481-SD treated with 3.2 mg L nZVIs compared to the untreated control. This study on essential FAMEs and regulation of genes in nZVI-treated F. diplosiphon strains provides a molecular framework for optimization of metabolic pathways in this model species.

The structure and active components of the filling material play a critical role in the contamination remediation performance of permeable reactive barriers. However, current methods lack a comprehensive understanding of the structural evolution and long-term performance of these materials during remediation processes. This study utilizes column experiments combined with spectral induced polarization (SIP) monitoring to investigate the effectiveness of zero-valent iron (ZVI), activated carbon (AC), and their composite with sand in removing Cr(VI).

Sediment microbial fuel cell (SMFC) is a device for biological denitrification, in which electrons produced by sediment microorganisms can be transferred to the upper layer of the water column lacking electron donors. However, the low efficiency of denitrifying bacteria in acquiring electrons and enriching at the cathode greatly hinders the application of SMFC for nitrogen removal. In this study, we report a novel method of constructing a high-performance biocathode by modifying electrodes with zero-valent iron to enhance the enrichment and electron transfer of electroactive bacteria.

Magnetic activated carbon has been proved its separation ability to overcome a main drawback of activated carbon powder. However, effect of magnetization method on characterizations and Chromium (VI) adsorption of this adsorbent from Artocarpus Heterophyllus Peel (jackfruit peel) has not been investigated yet. This study magnetized jackfruit peel activated carbon using thermochemical and co-precipitation methods.

Anaerobic digestion is a sustainable technology for methane (CH) production from organic waste and wastewater. However, its performance is frequently hindered by excessive acidification in readily acidified substrates, such as starch wastewater. Oyster shell (OS), a natural alkaline material, effectively regulates pH and enhances CH production.

Highly functionalized xanthenes possess an impressive range of bioactivities and daunting synthetic challenge due to their unique ring systems and stereocenters. Here, we report an unprecedented ketyl radicals-induced skeletal rearrangement reaction of spirodihydrobenzofurans, enabled by zero-valent iron as reducing agents via photoredox catalysis, facilitating the facile preparation of various highly functionalized xanthenes. The features of this protocol include high chemo- and regioselectivity, exceptionally mild conditions, a broad substrate scope, scalability to gram-scale quantities, and consistent delivery of good to excellent yields.
