摘要:
The reuse of heavy-metal hyperaccumulator waste has emerged as a critical constraint in the implementation of phytoremediation to control heavy-metal pollution. Ramie (Boehmeria nivea) is a wellestablished arsenic (As) hyperaccumulator that has been widely used in the remediation of As-contaminated sites in recent years. To facilitate multipurpose development and the recycling of ramie straw contaminated with heavy metals, a study investigated the preparation of hydrochar (HC) at different temperatures and assessed the feasibility of reintroducing the HC into the soil. The results indicated higher yields, increased nutrient contents, and reduced As percentage levels at a hydrothermal carbonization temperature of 240degree celsius. Treatment with a 300 mmol/L sodium hydroxide solution resulted in the removal of As from HC, ranging from 77.06% to 87.60%, effectively facilitating the reuse of HC. The application of alkali-modification HC in As-contaminated soil not only enhances soil properties but also augments the potential population of dominant microorganisms that promote soil arsenic mobilization, thereby improving arsenic mobilization capacity in mining soil. This study offers a viable strategy for enhancing the phytoremediation efficiency of As-contaminated soil and establishing a recycling system for As hyperaccumulator resources in the future.
摘要:
The dissolved organic matter (DOM) in landfill pollutes not only the landfill and surroundings, but also the environment far away from the landfill by infiltrating into the soil and/or flowing on the ground surface. Developing an efficient photocatalyst to degrade DOM is an interesting topic. Herein, the catalysts composed of ZnO and reduced graphene oxide (ZnO-rGO) with different morphologies were fabricated with a two-step hydrothermal method. The phase composite and microstructure were analyzed, and the degradation efficiency of the DOM under ultraviolet light was investigated. Three kinds of ZnO-rGO composite catalysts with different morphologies were successfully synthesized, and rGO was coated on the ZnO surface to form heterostructural composite catalysts. The catalyst powders have similar Raman and FT-IR spectra, but have different specific surface areas and band gaps. The degradation efficiency of DOM by ZnO-rGO composites is higher than that of pure ZnO powder. Compared to pure ZnO, ZnO-rGO composite catalysts contain more oxygen vacancies and a narrower band gap, and the heterostructure is beneficial for accelerating electron separation, inhibiting electron recombination.

摘要:
The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Lupinus westianus, an endangered and endemic species to Florida, United States, has been assembled from Illumina pair-end sequencing. The chloroplast genome structure of L. westianus is a circular molecule of 154,270 bp in length, with a large single copy (LSC) region of 82,437 bp, a small single copy (SSC) region of 15,853 bp, and a pair of inverted repeats (IRs) regions of 27,990 bp. The total G+C content of chloroplast genome is 36.47%, and while it is 41.56% of IRs, which was higher than LSC and SSC regions. The genome contained 130 genes, including 85 protein coding genes, 37 tRNA genes and 8 rRNA genes, of which 18 were duplicated in the IRs region. The phylogenetic analysis indicated that L. westianus was clustered together with other two genus of Lupinus, L. luteus and L. albus. The chloroplast genome of L. westianus laid a good foundation for genetic resoures conservation. The chloroplast genome reported provided useful genomic resources not only for the exchange of information between different species, but also for the population genetics of L. westianus and its phylogenetic and evolutionary studies.
摘要:
Artemisia selengenesis is not only a health food, but also a well-known traditional Chinese medicine. Only a fraction of the chloroplast (cp) genome data of Artemisia has been reported and chloroplast genomic materials have been widely used in genomic evolution studies, molecular marker development, and phylogenetic analysis of the genus Artemisia, which makes evolutionary studies, genetic improvement, and phylogenetic identification very difficult. In this study, the complete chloroplast genome of A. selengensis was compared with that of other species within Artemisia and phylogenetic analyses was conducted with other genera in the Asteraceae family. The results showed that A. selengensis is an AT-rich species and has a typical quadripartite structure that is 151,215 bp in length. Comparative genome analyses demonstrated that the available chloroplast genomes of species of Artemisia were well conserved in terms of genomic length, GC contents, and gene organization and order. However, some differences, which may indicate evolutionary events, were found, such as a re-inversion event within the Artemisia genus, an unequal duplicate phenomenon of the ycf1 gene because of the expansion and contraction of the IR region, and the fast-evolving regions. Repeated sequences analysis showed that Artemisia chloroplast genomes presented a highly similar pattern of SSR or LDR distribution. A total of 257 SSRs and 42 LDRs were identified in the A. selengensis chloroplast genome. The phylogenetic analysis showed that A. selengensis was sister to A. gmelinii. The findings of this study will be valuable in further studies to understand the genetic diversity and evolutionary history of Asteraceae.
