In this study, the effect of 6-6 polyionene (PI 6-6) on a model Gram-negative bacterium, Escherichia coli, was deciphered using next-generation, label-free shotgun proteomics. Cells were exposed to two sub-minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of the polymer before performing comprehensive proteomic analysis. Under these conditions, the abundance of up to 30 % of the proteins detected was significantly modulated compared to untreated controls. The most strongly impacted biological processes were central metabolism and cellular information processing. Exposure to PI 6-6 induced the production of reactive oxygen species depending on the PI 6-6 concentration. At 0.5x MIC, enzymes involved in hydrogen peroxide detoxification, polyamine and hydrogen sulfide biosynthesis, and sulfur metabolism, were up-modulated. At 0.75x MIC, a higher level of oxidized methionine was detected than in controls. Up-modulation of CspA RNA chaperone alongside other proteins linked to RNA metabolism and ribosome biogenesis was also observed. A large fraction of proteins was also down-modulated under both concentration conditions, with the majority of the top ten down-modulated proteins overlapping between the two treatments. These proteins primarily participate in the glyoxylate/dicarboxylate metabolism and propanoate metabolic pathways, which are both key routes for energy production and carbohydrate metabolism.","PeriodicalId":94082,"journal":{"name":"Journal of hazardous materials","volume":"497 ","pages":"139602"},"PeriodicalIF":11.3,"publicationDate":"2025-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144984049","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We investigated 77 aquatic sites across the Yangtze River (>1000 km), analyzed HMs distributions and DOM composition, as well as elucidated the mechanisms of HMs solid-liquid partitioning driven by microbial generalist-specialist. HMs primarily originated from natural sources, with limited anthropogenic influence. Community structures, diversity, and metabolic characteristics of bacteria and eukaryotes differed substantially between water and sediments. Bacterial specialists and eukaryotic generalists dominated their respective community formation. From sediments to water, changes in metabolic abundance of bacteria and eukaryotes are key drivers of HMs dynamics and DOM composition, and different taxa influence HMs distribution via distinct pathways. Bacterial specialists indirectly promote HMs retention in sediments through the mediation of protein-like substances. In contrast, eukaryotic generalists directly drive HMs migration into water. Although ecological risks in water were relatively low, most HMs still pose a migration risk from sediments to water, especially As, Cd, and Hg. This study highlights the key roles of microbes and DOM in regulating HMs dynamics, advancing riverine HMs fate understanding.","PeriodicalId":94082,"journal":{"name":"Journal of hazardous materials","volume":"498 ","pages":"140023"},"PeriodicalIF":11.3,"publicationDate":"2025-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145226521","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Bioremediation has gained increasing attention in recent years owing to its high efficiency and environmentally friendly nature. In this study, we isolated a Mn2+-resistant strain, Bacillus sp. A260, from deep-sea cold seep sediments. This strain displayed exceptional tolerance to 300 mM Mn2+ and produced significant quantities of manganese carbonate (MnCO3). Notably, elevated Mn2+ concentrations promoted biofilm formation by strain A260. Further mechanistic investigations revealed a coordinated regulatory network in Bacillus sp. A260, involving MntR-mediated Mn2+ homeostasis, YkoY/YceF-dependent Mn2+ efflux, and PerR/Fur-regulated Fe/Mn uptake. This network was accompanied by changes in energy metabolism, activation of oxidative stress response, and Spo0A-mediated biofilm synthesis, all of which contributed to the resilience of the strain under Mn2+ stress. In addition, Mn2⁺ induced biofilm formation enhanced the microplastic adsorption capacity of strain A260, enabling the simultaneous removal of Mn2+ and microplastics. Strain A260 achieved 97 % Mn2+ and 96 % microplastic removal at pH 7 and 37 ℃ within 14 days, and exhibited strong adaptability to pH and temperature variations. Thus, Bacillus sp.

Compared with R-(-)-PEN, S-(+)- and rac-PEN significantly decreased the relative weights of the kidney, spleen and testis. The integrated hepatic transcriptomic and non-target metabolomic results suggested that PEN exposure induced oxidation stress, caused glucose metabolism disorder, and disrupted steroid hormones. The specific binding modes in CYP450s might be related to the higher residue and toxic effects of S-(+)-PEN than R-(-)-PEN. Moreover, PEN exposure disrupted hepatic hormones including fibroblast growth factor 21 (Fgf21) and steroid hormone. The changed levels of hepatic pregnenolone, cortisol, and cortisone might be also associated with kidney function. Overall, these results indicated that S-(+)-PEN caused more toxic effects on different endpoints than R-(-)-PEN.

A conceptual model is proposed to describe changes in PFAS composition during the evolution and aging of SWFs. Bubbles created from turbulence in surface waters initially accumulate to form wet SWFs. Liquid drains as wet SWFs evolve towards dry SWFs and lower molecular weight PFAS with lower air-water interface (AWI) adsorption drain with the liquid.

Integrated theoretical and experimental investigations uncover a defect-mediated charge dynamics mechanism: OVs function as shallow electron traps enabling ultrafast charge capture, while BiVs function as deep relaxation sites that-under Cr(VI)-induced electron quenching-synergistically stabilize holes and extend their lifetime. This synergistic vacancy modulation achieves exceptional performance: a ciprofloxacin (CIP) degradation rate constant of 3.3 × 10-2 min-1 with concurrent Cr(VI)-to-Cr(III) conversion (0.036 mmol/L reduced after 60 min).

Constructed wetlands (CWs), as ecologically adaptive systems, offer nature-based solutions for the integrated attenuation of multifaceted contaminant mixtures. This study evaluated five types of CWs with varying substrates under micro-oxygen regulation, focusing on iron-carbon (Fe-C) micro-electrolysis for enhanced removal and the microbial response of F⁻, nitrogen (N), and phosphorus (P) under continuous flow conditions. The Fe-C CWs (CW-E) achieved the highest F⁻ removal efficiency (40.14 ± 15.81 %) and sustained total phosphorus (TP) removal (up to 99 %) under F- stress, while maintaining moderate total nitrogen (TN) removal (72 %). Comparative analysis showed that CW-E outperformed other configurations in simultaneous multi-pollutant removal. However, CW with separately filled Fe-C substrates (CW-D) showed more stable nitrogen removal, indicating that substrate combination affects specific pollutant behavior. Fe-C micro-electrolysis CW under F- and nutrient stress reduced microbial diversity but enriched key electroactive and functional bacteria (Bacillus, Desulfomicrobium) associated with extracellular electron transfer, N transformation, and P accumulation. Functional genes related to electron transfer (e.g., cyt c, pili, NADH dehydrogenase) and quorum sensing (QS) were upregulated, indicating that micro-electrolysis reshaped microbial community structure and function. Moreover, QS was significantly positive (P < 0.001) with the direct electron transfer (DET) process, indicating the role of DET in microbial cooperation.
