Does livestock-Manure-Derived Biochar Suitable for the Stabilization of Cadmium and Zinc in Contaminated Soil?
Bull Environ Contam Toxicol. 2024 Apr 2;112(4):57. doi: 10.1007/s00128-024-03881-2.ABSTRACTBoth livestock-manure and livestock-manure-derived biochar have been used to remediate heavy metal-contaminated soil. However, direct comparisons of the heavy metal stabilization efficiency of livestock-manure and EQC-manure-biochar (derived from an equal quantity of corresponding livestock-manure) are limited. In the present study, the effect of livestock-manures and EQC-manure-biochars on soil properties and heavy metal bioavailability and leachability were compared using two contrasting soils (Ferralsols and Fluvisols). The result...

Improved Thermal Stability of a Novel Acidophilic Phytase
J Microbiol Biotechnol. 2024 Apr 3;34(5):1-10. doi: 10.4014/jmb.2311.11044. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPhytase increases the availability of phosphate and trace elements by hydrolyzing the phospho-monoester bond in phytate present in animal feed. It is also an important enzyme from an environmental perspective because it not only promotes the growth of livestocks but also prevents phosphorus contamination released into the environment. Here we present a novel phytase derived from Turicimonas muris, TmPhy, which has distinctive structure and properties compared to other previously known phytases. TmPhy gene expressed in ...

Design of Indole-Functionalized Phosphepines towards New Organic Chromophores
Synlett DOI: 10.1055/a-2214-7484 Organic chromophores emerged as diverse functional materials in the areas of organic catalysis, toxic materials sensing, bio-imaging, and organic electronic devices. With rich chemical and electronic structures, main-group elements have been extensively implanted in organic chromophores to fine-tune the chemical/electronic structures and optoelectronic properties. In this Synpact article, we present a concise overview of the development of phosphorus (P)-containing organic chromophores, further highlighting our recent contributions in the field. A new aspect of combining the P element with ...

5-year Follow-up of Reimplanted Parathyroid Glands in Forearm Subcutaneous Tissue During Thyroidectomy. A Confirmation of Graft Vitality in a Large Series of Patients
CONCLUSIONS: Parathyroid reimplantation using the PR-FaST technique is a viable option for patients undergoing thyroidectomy and has been shown to be a reproducible and effective technique in most patients, with sustained graft functionality and parathyroid hormone production over a 5-year follow-up period.PMID:38557257 | DOI:10.1177/00031348241244631 (Source: The American Surgeon)

The influence of biochar from animal and plant on the transformation of phosphorus during paper mill sludge composting
This study compared the influence of biochar derived from animal (AB) and plant (PB) during paper mill sludge composting. Results indicated AB not only accelerated sludge decomposition but also had significantly higher levels of available phosphorus (AP) than PB and CK (no biochar), with AP contents in the order of AB > PB > CK. Compared to CK, AB was found to increase the relative abundance of thermophilic bacteria, and PB diversified the microbial community. Based on Pearson and RDA results, TOC/TN ratio (C/N) and organic matter (OM) explained above 50% of the variance in microbial community and phosphorus fraction...

Change in water quality in an Amazonian microbasin: ecological and human health implications
J Water Health. 2024 Mar;22(3):522-535. doi: 10.2166/wh.2024.286. Epub 2024 Feb 29.ABSTRACTThe decline in the quality of water resources in the Amazon is very rapid in cities suffering from unplanned urban growth. The region has two defined seasons, winter (wet) and summer (dry), which directly affect the behavior of contaminants in aquatic ecosystems. The aim of this study was to assess the ecological and human health risks associated with the use of the watershed. In addition, an ecological index was proposed: the Quality Index for Aquatic Life, for the risk of contaminants to aquatic life. Sampling was carried out at si...
