Comparative study about ozonation to treat Microcystis-laden source water at the development and maintenance stage
Chemosphere. 2023 Sep 6:140045. doi: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2023.140045. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe outbreak of toxic cyanobacteria blooms is hazardous to water safety. Ozonation has been used to treat cyanobacteria-laden source water. Generally, cyanobacterial blooms enter into a long-term maintenance stage from the bloom development, but how the changed bloom stage affects ozonation is still unknow. Herein, influences of ozonation on cell inactivation and microcystin removal of Microcystis at the development and maintenance stage, were investigated. Then, ozonation-assisted coagulation for Microcystis removal at th...

Air-water exchange and risk assessment of phthalic acid esters during the early phase of COVID-19 pandemic in tropical riverine catchments of India
Chemosphere. 2023 Aug 30:140013. doi: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2023.140013. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTGiven the increased load of waste plastic in the solid waste stream after the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, we investigated the fate of selected plastic additives along open burning dumps, industrial and residential transects in tropical riverine catchments of India. Polyurethane foam disk passive air samples, surface water and community stored water (CSW) samples were collected along the Adyar River (AR), Cooum River (CR) and canals in Chennai and Daman Ganga River (DG) in Vapi. Among the quantified phthalic acid es...

A paper-based photoelectrochemical aptsensor using near-infrared light-responsive AgBiS < sub > 2 < /sub > nanoflowers as probes for the detection of Staphylococcus aureus in pork
Talanta. 2023 Aug 25;266(Pt 2):125128. doi: 10.1016/j.talanta.2023.125128. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTStaphylococcus aureus is a gram-positive bacterium that can easily cause outbreaks of food-borne diseases. In this work, a signal-enhanced three-dimensional paper-based photoelectrochemical (PEC) aptsensor for the rapid and sensitive determination of S. aureus was developed. Specifically, gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were electrodeposited on a paper-based working electrode to provide binding sites for a sulfhydryl-functionalized aptamer. Subsequently, S. aureus was captured with high specificity by a carboxyl-functionaliz...

Phenol red as electrochemical indicator for highly sensitive quantification of SARS-CoV-2 by loop-mediated isothermal amplification detection
Talanta. 2023 Jul 17;266(Pt 1):124963. doi: 10.1016/j.talanta.2023.124963. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe current COVID-19 pandemic has made patent the need for rapid and cost-effective diagnostic tests, crucial for future infectious outbreaks. Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) is a promising and decentralized alternative to qPCR. In this work we have developed a sensitive, fast, and simple innovative methodology for quantification of SARS-CoV-2 RNA copies, combining reverse-transcription LAMP with electrochemical detection. This is based on the oxidation of phenol red (PR), a visual and electroactive LAMP i...

A triple-aptamer tetrahedral DNA nanostructures based carbon-nanotube-array transistor biosensor for rapid virus detection
Talanta. 2023 Jul 20;266(Pt 1):124973. doi: 10.1016/j.talanta.2023.124973. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTOutbreaks of infectious viruses cause enormous challenges to global public health. Recently, the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) induced by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has severely threatened human health and resulted in the global pandemic. A strategy to detect SARS-CoV-2 with both fast sensing speed and high accuracy is urgently required. Here, rapid detection of SARS-CoV-2 antigen using carbon-nanotube-array-based thin-film transistor (CNT-array-based TFT) biosensors merged wi...
