Abstract
Metalloids are released into the environment due to the erosion of the rocks or anthropogenic activities, causing problems for human health in different world regions. Meanwhile, microorganisms with different mechanisms to tolerate and detoxify metalloid contaminants have an essential role in reducing risks. In this review, we first define metalloids and bioremediation methods and examine the ecology and biodiversity of microorganisms in areas contaminated with these metalloids. Then we studied the genes and proteins involved in the tolerance, transport, uptake, and reduction of these metalloids. Most of these studies focused on a single metalloid and co-contamination of multiple pollutants were poorly discussed in the literature. Furthermore, microbial communication within consortia was rarely explored. Finally, we summarized the microbial relationships between microorganisms in consortia and biofilms to remove one or more contaminants. Therefore, this review article contains valuable information about microbial consortia and their mechanisms in the bioremediation of metalloids.

SPECTROCHIMICA ACTA. PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2021; 260:119949. [PMID: 34023551 DOI: 10.1016/j.saa.2021.119949] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/29/2021] [Revised: 04/15/2021] [Accepted: 05/08/2021] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
In this work, the nonadiabatic energy relaxation mechanism of hemicyanines for UV photoprotection were investigated by using the density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) method for the first time. The absorption spectra and potential energy surfaces (PESs) of four hemicyanines with different positions of substituents were presented. The maximum absorption peaks of the four hemicyanines are located in the UVA region. In addition, all these hemicyanine molecules also have light absorption in both the UVB and UVC regions. At the same time, we found that the trans-cis photoisomerization PESs of all these hemicyanines have a significant conical intersection (CI) point between the first excited state and the ground state. Herein, it was first demonstrated that the UV energy absorbed by the hemicyanines could be dissipated nonadiabatically through the CI point by using the trans-cis photoisomerization dynamics mechanism. This work proves that hemicyanines have the possibility to be applied for UV photoabsorbers, and provides important basis for designing new type of hemicyanines for UV photoprotection.

Abstract
In this present work, we have successfully designed and investigated three flavonoid sunscreen compounds. Based on steady-state spectroscopy and time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT), the mechanism of excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) of sunscreen compounds was studied. The calculated UV-vis absorption spectra and fluorescence emission spectra are in good agreement with the experimental results in methanol solution. The potential energy curve demonstrates that the ESIPT process can easily occur in the three sunscreen compounds without energy barrier. Therefore, the absorbed excitation energy can get back to the ground state through a non-radiative relaxation process. Light stability tests ensure that the three flavonoids have the potential as sunscreens. This work provides not only an application of the ESIPT process in sunscreen mechanisms, but also a theory basis for the development of novel sunscreen molecules.
