Ultrasonic radiation has emerged as a promising, eco-friendly strategy for controlling these blooms, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclearly understood. This study investigated the effects of ultrasonic radiation on the growth, photosynthetic performance, and antioxidant defense systems of an algal mixture over a 5-day period. Analysis techniques, including scanning electron microscopy (SEM), excitation-emission matrix (EEM) analysis, and transcriptomic profiling, were employed to elucidate the multifaceted responses of algal cells to ultrasonic treatment. Ultrasonic radiation induced significant free radical generation, primarily hydroxyl radicals (·OH), which played a critical role in cellular damage. Within 24 h, treatment led to a 50% reduction in algal cell counts, a 30% decline in chlorophyll-a levels, and a 25% decrease in photosynthetic efficiency. Phycocyanin, a vital pigment for cyanobacteria, exhibited heightened sensitivity to a single ultrasonic treatment, while subsequent treatments showed no additional reduction, suggesting that <em>Microcystis aeruginosa</em> is particularly susceptible to the ultrasonic damage. EEM analysis revealed significant changes in the fluorescence intensity of extracellular organic matter (EOM) and intracellular organic matter (IOM) peaks, indicative of oxidative stress and metabolic disruption. Transcriptomic analysis of <em>Microcystis aeruginosa</em> revealed a profound reprogramming of gene expression in response to sonication. Stress response genes, particularly those involved in antioxidant defense, were upregulated, while photosynthesis-related genes were downregulated. Our research indicates that short-term ultrasonic radiation has a long-term stress effect on algal cells, and this might be able to prevent the tendency of cyanobacteria blooms.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":442,"journal":{"name":"Ultrasonics Sonochemistry","volume":"115 ","pages":"Article 107297"},"PeriodicalIF":8.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143551171","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, the mass transfer of chemical species that were initially present only in the bubbles was investigated. The numerical simulation revealed that the mass transfer to the outside bubble was enhanced by the bubble translational motion caused by the secondary Bjerknes force, whereas the mass transfer to the outside bubble increased during the bubble compression period, and the mass transfer to the inside bubble increased during the bubble expansion period. In addition, the mass transfer to the outside bubble was enhanced, particularly for the nonspherical bubble motion during the bubble compression period. The mass transfer to the outside bubble increases with a denser bubble arrangement, which can be explained in terms of the cover ratio, which is defined as the ratio of the projected area of the surrounding bubbles to the central bubble.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":442,"journal":{"name":"Ultrasonics Sonochemistry","volume":"115 ","pages":"Article 107295"},"PeriodicalIF":8.7,"publicationDate":"2025-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143551173","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study explores the bactericidal efficacy and underlying mechanisms of ultrasound treatment combined with a lactic acid and malic acid complex solution for decontaminating crabs and enhancing food safety. Employing a range of methodologies, including microscopic imaging, live/dead staining, RT-qPCR, and texture and microstructure analysis, the results indicate that the combined treatment significantly reduced <em>A. hydrophila</em> counts by 4.16 lg CFU/mL and induced substantial bacterial membrane damage, as evidenced by scanning electron microscopy (SEM).

Notably, the treatment also preserved the texture and sensory properties of crab meat, thereby ensuring high product quality.

However, the initial nucleation of nanodroplets in tissue—a critical stage for subsequent vapor bubble dynamics and theranostic efficacy—remains unexplored. This work, accounting for nanodroplets and tissue as compressible mediums, was represented by two springs in series: one for nanodroplet compressibility and the other for tissue elasticity. By analyzing the linear relationship between internal nanodroplet pressure and volume changes in nanodroplets and tissue, the classical nucleation theory (CNT) was modified to describe the initial nucleation of perfluoropentane (PFP) nanodroplets in tissue. The key nucleation conditions, such as the stable critical radius and initial nucleation threshold (INT) were investigated based on the modified CNT. Results revealed that introducing the nanodroplet compressibility and tissue elasticity allows the existence of a stable critical radius—which is more physically meaningful, highlighting their important effects on nucleation. Additionally, the INT increased significantly with the increase in tissue bulk modulus. For example, with an increase in bulk modulus from 0.03 MPa to 0.67 MPa, the INT increased by about 1.1 MPa. The increased behavior was more obvious for smaller nanodroplets in higher bulk modulus. The presence of dissolved gases, increasing nanodroplet surface tension, and decreasing nanodroplet radius and ultrasound frequency reduced the INT.
