Abstract
The photolysis dynamics of m-fluorophenol (m-FPhOH) and o-fluorophenol (o-FPhOH) have been investigated with time-resolved velocity map imaging (TR-VMI) and time-resolved ion-yield (TR-IY) techniques. Following excitation to the origin of S1 (ππ∗) state of m- and o-FPhOH, H atoms elimination mediated by tunneling through the potential barrier under the S1 (ππ∗)/S2 (πσ∗) conical intersection (CI) has been observed as a Gaussian feature signal centered at a total kinetic energy release (TKER) of ∼6000 cm-1 for both molecules. The quantum tunneling mechanism has been identified as the main decay pathway of S1 state for m-FPhOH, and the tunneling lifetime of 2.1 ns has been obtained from the TR-VMI measurements of H fragments. This tunneling mechanism is further confirmed by the studies on the selective O-H deuterated species, m-FPhOD, and consolidated by our theoretical calculations. However, the photolysis dynamics is quite different for the photoexcited o-FPhOH. The much lower yield of the H atoms originating from tunneling hinders the extraction of a reliable tunneling lifetime for o-FPhOH. Our theoretical calculations exhibit a broader and higher potential barrier exists beneath the S1/S2 CI of o-FPhOH, which increase the difficulty for tunneling. Furthermore, the special existence of intramolecular hydrogen bond in o-FPhOH is probably also the key factor that affects the tunneling rate, which would restrict the O-H stretch motion.

Biotransformation of the Fluorinated Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Pharmaceutical Flurbiprofen in Activated Sludge Results in Accumulation of a Recalcitrant Fluorinated Aromatic Metabolite. GLOBAL CHALLENGES (HOBOKEN, NJ) 2019; 3:1800093.

Abstract
Flurbiprofen is a fluorinated, nonsteroidal, anti-inflammatory pharmaceutical with potential application in a wide range of maladies. Currently, there is no information regarding its environmental fate. To address this, flurbiprofen is spiked at 500 and 50 ppm into activated sewage sludge taken from the municipal treatment plant of Ankara, Turkey. Flurbiprofen is partially degraded after 80 days, with removal proportion varying from 33% to 48%. Isolation of organisms able to use flurbiprofen as a sole carbon and energy source is unsuccessful. A transient, acid-labile yellow coloration appears in supernatants after addition of flurbiprofen. During disappearance, a novel potential metabolite is detected by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analyses, a chemical that does not appear in killed controls or in nonflurbiprofen-amended controls. Mass spectra of the novel chemical obtained at low and high collision energies are consistent with 4-(1-carboxyethyl)-2-fluorobenzoic acid, suggesting the application of a canonical metabolic paradigm for halogenated biphenyl metabolism by bacteria in which the nonhalogenated ring is metabolized by dioxygenation and metacleavage, leaving the halogenated aromatic ring behind. This metabolite shows no signs of disappearance after the 80-day monitoring period, implying that the environmental release of flurbiprofen might be of concern.

Abstract
The non-ionic water-soluble X-ray contrast agent iomeprol (IOM) enters the water supply through sewage treatment plants, which can cause considerable environmental harm. In this study, Pseudomonas sp. I-24 (I-24) was tested for its ability to remove IOM from water via co-metabolic pathways. The optimum removal rate of IOM by I-24 was 38.43% ± 3.70% when starch served as the source of external carbon, and its co-metabolism of IOM conformed to the first-order kinetics. The highest activity of intracellular enzyme (degrading enzyme) extracted from I-24 was 0.143 ± 0.005 mU in starch condition. The Michaelis constant of the degrading enzyme was found to be 91.08 μmol L-1. However, glucose and maltose showed the best promotive effects on the growth and electron transport activity of I-24, indicating that overgrowth may result in competitive inhibition and a reduced degradation rate of IOM. Adding I-24 and degrading enzymes to biological aerated filters increased IOM removal rates without affecting CODMn removal.

CHEMOSPHERE 2015; 120:422-430.

Abstract
In this study, Pinus pinea seedlings mycorrhized with selected ectomycorrhizal fungi (ECMF), Pisolithus tinctorius and Suillus bellinii, were exposed to the herbicide benfluralin. Non-mycorrhized P. pinea seedlings and seedlings mycorrhized with ECMF were transferred to benfluralin-spiked soils at levels of 0.165, 1.65 and 16.5 mg kg(-1). Plant growth and the fungal role on plant antioxidant response were assessed. In the presence of benfluralin, higher plant growth was observed in mycorrhized plants compared to non-mycorrhized plants, but ECMF colonisation and nutrient uptake were affected by the herbicide. Benfluralin showed no effect on lipid peroxidation in P. pinea seedlings. However, seedlings mycorrhized with S. bellinii showed higher levels of lipid peroxidation when compared to non-mycorrhized ones, both in the presence and absence of benfluralin. The increase of lipid peroxidation could be related to seedling growth induced by the fungus and not to benfluralin toxicity. A similar trend was observed in seedlings mycorrhized with P. tinctorius when exposed to higher benfluralin concentrations, suggesting that the antioxidant response to benfluralin is related not only to fungus species, but also to the level of stress applied in the soil. The higher amount of superoxide dismutase activity in P. pinea seedlings tissues exposed to benfluralin could indicate a plant adaptative response to benfluralin toxicity. Catalase activity showed no increase with benfluralin exposure. Pre-established P. tinctorius mycorrhization conferred root protection and enhanced plant growth in benfluralin spiked soil, inferring that P. tinctorius - P. pinea association could advantageous for plant growth in soils contaminated with pesticides.
