While regarded as hardly biodegradable, OPs can undergo abiotic transformation with phosphate (PO<sub>4</sub><sup>3-</sup>) as a main transformation product. As some OPs are suspected precursors of glyphosate in surface waters, their environmental fate is of current interest. Due to analytical challenges posed by quantification of individual OPs, monitoring PO<sub>4</sub><sup>3-</sup> formation is a widely used proxy to monitor OP transformations. The molybdenum blue (MB) method, employing UV/Vis spectroscopy, is frequently used for PO<sub>4</sub><sup>3-</sup> quantification due to its sensitivity and operational simplicity. However, while interference of certain inorganic ions is well-documented, the effects of OPs on the accuracy of the MB method remain unexplored. This study investigated the effects of six OPs, namely N-(phosphonomethyl)glycine (glyphosate), 1-hydroxyethylidene(1,1-diphosphonic acid) (HEDP), iminodi(methylene phosphonate) (IDMP), aminotris(methylene phosphonate) (ATMP), ethylenediaminetetra(methylene phosphonate) (EDTMP), and diethylenetriaminepenta(methylene phosphonate) (DTPMP). Spectral analysis of pure PO<sub>4</sub><sup>3-</sup> standards using the MB method exhibits two characteristic absorption maxima (λ<sub>max</sub>) at 710 and 880 nm. In the presence of OPs, a new λ<sub>max</sub> appears around 760 nm. This is accompanied by an increase in absorbance values at both 710 and 880 nm, leading to significant over-quantification of PO<sub>4</sub><sup>3-</sup> concentrations. Among the evaluated OPs, DTPMP exhibits the most substantial interference (PO<sub>4</sub><sup>3-</sup> over-quantification by up to 240%), while glyphosate causes minimal interference (≤ 20%). The effects are most pronounced at OPs:PO<sub>4</sub><sup>3-</sup> ratios ≥1. A case study simulating DTPMP transformation confirms PO<sub>4</sub><sup>3-</sup> over-quantification of up to 350%, revealing limitations of the MB method.

Herein, we combined the designed dual DNA recycling amplification strategy with CRISPR/Cas12a-mediated dual-channel signal output mode to successfully develop a novel ratiometric fluorescence biosensor for testing kanamycin (Kana) residues in complex sample matrices. The first recycling was formed from an exonuclease-assisted aptamer recognition reaction, which also triggered another cascade DNA recycling to amplify the release of the Cas12a activator. With the non-discrimination cleavage of Cas12a to cause reverse fluorescence changes of copper nanoclusters and an AMAC-labeled signal DNA, the ratiometric signal transduction strategy was constructed. Under optimal conditions, this biosensor could be applied for ultrasensitive testing of Kana antibiotics in a five-order of magnitude wide linear range with a low detection limit of 17.2 fg mL<sup>-1</sup>. Benefiting from the self-correction function of the ratiometric signal transduction mode, it showed promising practicality in lake water and milk samples with the relative error less than 4.9% to the standard ELISA results. Besides CRISPR/Cas12a-based fluorescence output efficiency improvement, this biosensor also excluded the complicated manipulations and expensive instruments required in traditional methods.

In this study, the accuracy of metabolite annotation was systematically evaluated by leveraging the proposed strategies for simulation of tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) data from high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) and then construction of a large-scale virtual database. Furthermore, various similarity scoring methods were comprehensively compared to assess the performance for annotation. First, three key characteristics that are essential for simulating MS/MS spectra to closely resemble experimental data were identified: (i) the number of mass-to-charge ratio (m/z) features, (ii) the differences between neighboring m/z values, and (iii) the intensity distribution of MS/MS features. These factors were employed to generate representative MS/MS spectra for subsequent study. A meticulously designed virtual MS/MS database was constructed to facilitate accurate annotation assessment, which covered over 100,000 metabolites with diverse structural similarities and differences. To evaluate annotation quality, two simulation strategies on the basis of strong and weak data inference were respectively proposed to replicate MS/MS spectra for unknown metabolites. These simulated spectra were then compared with the virtual database, which provided insights into the expected variations in experimental MS/MS data. Furthermore, eight similarity evaluation methods, including entropy similarity (ES) and weighted dot product (W/DP) algorithms, were rigorously evaluated for their effectiveness in metabolite annotation. The results revealed that some methods, such as ES, exhibited strong resistance to interference and broad adaptability across different MS/MS patterns, whereas others selectively yielded reliable outcomes under specific conditions. This study provided a systematic framework for quality evaluation in metabolite annotation and offered strategies to mitigate false-positive identifications.
