Antioxidants improve β-cypermethrin degradation by alleviating oxidative damage and increasing bioavailability by Bacillus cereus GW-01. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2023; 236:116680. [PMID: 37500036 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2023.116680] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/14/2023] [Revised: 07/12/2023] [Accepted: 07/14/2023] [Indexed: 07/29/2023]
Abstract
Microbial degradation of pesticide residues has the potential to reduce their hazards to human and environmental health. However, in some cases, degradation can activate pesticides, making them more toxic to microbes. Here we report on the β-cypermethrin (β-CY) toxicity to Bacillus cereus GW-01, a recently described β-CY degrader, and effects of antioxidants on β-CY degradation. GW-01 exposed to β-CY negatively affected the growth rate. The highest maximum specific growth rate (μm) appeared at 25 mg/L β-CY. β-CY induced the oxidative stress in GW-01. The activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalyse (CAT), and glutathione-S-transferase (GST) were significantly higher than that in control (p < 0.01); but they are decreased as growth phase pronged, which is contrary to the β-CY degradation by GW-01 cells obtaining from various growth phase. Ascorbic acid (Vc), tea polyphenols (TP), and adenosine monophosphate (AMP) improved the degradation through changing the physiological property of GW-01. TP and AMP prompted the expression of gene encoding β-CY degradation in GW-01, while Vc does the opposite. Biofilm formation was significantly inhibited by β-CY, while was significantly enhanced by certain concentrations of TP and AMP (p < 0.05); while cell surface hydrophobicity (CSH) was negatively associated with β-CY concentrations from 25 to 100 mg/L, and these 4 antioxidants all boosted the CSH. Cells grown with β-CY had lower levels of saturated fatty acids but increased levels of some unsaturated and branched fatty acids, and these antioxidants alleviated the FA composition changes and gene expression related with FA metabolism. We also mined transcriptome analyses at lag, logarithmic, and stationary phases, and found that β-CY induced oxidative stress. The objective of this study was to elaborate characteristics in relation to the microbial resistance of pesticide poisoning and the efficiency of pesticide degradation, and to provide a promising method for improving pesticide degradation by microbes.

Abstract
We developed a marine coating consisting of Cu-MOF-74, multi-walled carbon nanotube containing carboxyl groups (MWCNT-COOH) and self-healing polymers, which simultaneously possesses self-healing and anti-biofouling properties. Cu-MOF-74 can stably release Cu2+ by virtue of the coordination dissociative mechanism. Studies have proved that MWCNT can inhibit the growth of bacteria, so adding the MWCNT can help to reduce the amount of the copper ions and ensure the antibacterial effect of the coating. In addition, the cross-linked network and abundant -COOH provided by the polymers and MWCNT-COOH further prevent the loss of copper ions. Moreover, the coating we prepared has good performance of self-healing at room temperature or slightly heated because the polymers possess abundant non-covalent hydrogen bonds. Finally, the coating not only has superior antibacterial property, but also effectively prevents the adhesion of macrofouling organism. Therefore, the coating has a longer service life and its environmental friendliness has also been improved.

Abstract
Graphene quantum dots (GQDs) coexist with antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in the environment. Whether GQDs influence ARG spread needs investigation, since the resulting development of multidrug-resistant pathogens would threaten human health. This study investigates the effect of GQDs on the horizontal transfer of extracellular ARGs (i.e., transformation, a pivotal way that ARGs spread) mediated by plasmids into competent Escherichia coli cells. GQDs enhance ARG transfer at lower concentrations, which are close to their environmental residual concentrations. However, with further increases in concentration (closer to working concentrations needed for wastewater remediation), the effects of enhancement weaken or even become inhibitory. At lower concentrations, GQDs promote the gene expression related to pore-forming outer membrane proteins and the generation of intracellular reactive oxygen species, thus inducing pore formation and enhancing membrane permeability. GQDs may also act as carriers to transport ARGs into cells. These factors result in enhanced ARG transfer. At higher concentrations, GQD aggregation occurs, and aggregates attach to the cell surface, reducing the effective contact area of recipients for external plasmids. GQDs also form large agglomerates with plasmids and thus hindering ARG entrance. This study could promote the understanding of the GQD-caused ecological risks and benefit their safe application.

Abstract
The behavior of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2 NPs) as plant growth enhancers was still unclear; however, in this study, the effects of MWCNTs, TiO2NPs, 5%TiO2@MWCNTs, 10%TiO2@MWCNTs and 15%TiO2@MWCNTs on physical and biochemical contents in Sesamum indicum L. under heat stress conditions were studied. The content of malondialdehyde (MDA) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) concentrations were reduced by the spraying MWCNTs and TiO2 NPs on plants. The hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) content was reduced by 49.02% in plants treated with 15%TiO2@MWCNTs while 42.14% reduction was found in plants treated with 10%TiO2@MWCNTs. The proportion of oil and the peroxidase enzyme activity in plants treated with 15%TiO2@MWCNTs were increased by 48.99%, for the oil content, and 2.39 times for POD activity respected to the stressed plants. The proportion of unsaturated fatty acids increased in plants treated with 15%TiO2@MWCNTs, 10%TiO2@MWCNTs and TiO2 NPs by 2.7, 2.52, and 2.09 times, respectively, greater than the control of the Shandweel-3 variety. Finally, plants treated with 15%TiO2@MWCNTs showed increases in seed yield and weight 1000-seeds by 4.42 and 1.67 times, respectively. These findings suggest that TiO2@MWCNTs more effective than separated MWCNTs and TiO2 NPs in improve plant growth. In addition, the cultivar Shandweel-3 showed an improvement in growth indicators more than the Giza-32 cultivar.

ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2022; 29:85286-85299.

Abstract
Biochar had been widely used to improve the activity of photocatalysts, the biochar-based photocatalysts had more potential for environmental pollution remediation, but their effect on the sediment remained unknown. To understand these, the typical photocatalyst g-C3N4 was modified by biochar to develop g-C3N4/biochar with enhanced photocatalytic ability. Riverbed sediment was exposed to g-C3N4 and g-C3N4/biochar respectively for 30 days, and Illumina sequencing was utilized to examine the changes in the bacterial community in the sediment. The results showed that in riverbed sediment, g-C3N4 exposure had a concentration-dependent effect on the diversity of bacteria, while g-C3N4/biochar exposure had a slight influence on the bacterial diversity and the diversity almost maintained stable with different g-C3N4/biochar concentration. The application of g-C3N4 exhibited an inhibition influence on the growth of Acidobacteria, Gemmatimonadetes, and Rokubacteria in sediment, whose relative abundance increased when g-C3N4 was 25 mg/kg, and then decreased when g-C3N4 beyond this concentration. The presence of g-C3N4/biochar increased the relative abundance of Cyanobacteria in sediment and showed no obvious impact on other dominant phyla. Both g-C3N4 and g-C3N4/biochar could alter the levels of TP, NN, and AN in the sediment, but the magnitude of the changes of these physicochemical factors caused by g-C3N4/biochar was much smaller than those caused by g-C3N4. In addition, the complexity of the bacterial community network was reduced in a high concentration of g-C3N4, while it remained stable with different concentrations of g-C3N4/biochar treatments. Totally, this study demonstrated that, compared to g-C3N4, g-C3N4/biochar was able to maintain the relative stability of the bacterial community in riverbed sediment and mitigate the negative effects of photocatalysts to some extent, making biochar an ecological remediation agent with great potential for application.

Abstract
Fe2O3-Al2O3 catalysts applied for conversion of polyolefin plastic waste into multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and H2 are typically produced by impregnation, co-precipitation or sol-gel synthesis at atmospheric pressure and temperatures below 100 °C. This study utilized hydrothermal conditions and established the role of precipitating agents (urea, N-methylurea and N,N'-dimethylurea) on properties and catalytic activity of Fe2O3-Al2O3 catalysts (Fe-u, Fe-mu and Fe-dmu, respectively). The precipitating agent played a key role in tailoring the properties, such as crystallization degree, surface area and reducibility. The precipitating agents influenced the yield and outer diameters of MWCNTs but did not affect graphitization degree. Among the synthesized catalysts, Fe-u had the largest surface area and preferential formation of the highly reducible α-Fe2O3 crystalline phase. As a result, Fe-u had the highest activity during conversion of pyrolysis gas from low-density polyethylene (LDPE) into MWCNTs, yielding 0.91 g·g-1-catalyst MWCNTs at 800 °C as compared to 0.42 and 0.14 g·g-1-catalyst using Fe-dmu and Fe-mu, respectively. Fe-dmu favored the growth of MWCNTs with smaller outer diameters. Fe-u demonstrated high efficiency during operation using a continuous flow of pyrolysis gas from a mixture of polyolefins (70 wt% polypropylene, 6 wt% LDPE and 24 wt% high density polyethylene) producing 4.28 g·g-1-catalyst MWCNTs at 3.2% plastic conversion efficiency and a stable H2 flow for 155 min (25-32 vol%). The obtained data demonstrate that the selection of an appropriate precipitating agent for hydrothermal synthesis allows for the production of highly active Fe2O3-Al2O3 catalysts for the upcycling of polyolefin plastic waste into MWCNTs and H2.

Abstract
The interactions between inorganic-based nanomaterials (NMs) and biological membranes are among the most important phenomena for developing NM-based therapeutics and resolving nanotoxicology. Herein, we introduce the structural and functional effects of inorganic-based NMs on biological membranes, mainly the plasma membrane and the endomembrane system, with an emphasis on the interface, which involves highly complex networks between NMs and biomolecules (such as membrane proteins and lipids). Significant efforts have been devoted to categorizing and analyzing the interaction mechanisms in terms of the physicochemical characteristics and biological effects of NMs, which can directly or indirectly influence the effects of NMs on membranes. Importantly, we summarize that the biological membranes act as platforms and thereby mediate NMs-immune system contacts. In this overview, the existing challenges and potential applications in the areas are addressed. A strong understanding of the discussed concepts will promote therapeutic NM designs for drug delivery systems by leveraging the NMs-membrane interactions and their functions.

Abstract
Herein, Taguchi L9 orthogonal array was used for the first time to optimize synthesis of diameter-controlled multi walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). The nanoadsorbents, MWCNTs5-15 nm and MWCNTs16-25 nm were applied for Pb(II) and Ni(II) ion removal from paint, battery and electroplating wastewater. The results indicated successful synthesis of MWCNTs with diameter distribution ranges of 5-15 nm and 16-25 nm. The synthetized smaller diameter MWCNTs5-15 nm revealed higher Brunauer-Emett-Teller (BET) surface area of 1306 ± 5 m2/g compared to larger diameter MWCNTs16-25 nmwith the surface area of 1245 ± 4 m2/g. They demonstrated excellent adsorption of Pb(II) and Ni(II) ions within the permissible concentration proposed by WHO at pH, contact time, adsorbent dosage and temperature of 5, 60 min, 30 mg/L and 50 °C, respectively. Particularly, MWCNTs5-15 nm possessed high adsorption capacity of 215.38 ± 0.03 mg/g for Pb(II) and 230.78 ± 0.01 mg/g for Ni(II). Again, the maximum adsorption capacity of 201.35 ± 0.02 and 206.40 ± 0.02 mg/g was achieved for Pb(II) and Ni(II) using MWCNTs16-25 nm. All in all, the adsorption capacity of the nanoadsorbents at the investigated diameter range showed higher efficiency compared to other materials for heavy metals elimination from chemical industrial wastewater.

Abstract
The numerous biological applications of nanoparticles in general and nano-clays in particular are rooted in understanding and harnessing their dynamic nano-bio interface. Among clays, the intrinsically-mesoporous halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) have emerged in recent years as promising nanomaterials. The diverse interactions of these nanotubes with living cells, encompassing electrostatic, van der Waals, and ion exchange, along with cellular response, are crucial in determining the behaviour of HNTs in biological systems. Thus, rational engineering of the nanotube properties allows for vast applications ranging from bacteria encapsulation for bioremediation, through algae flocculation for aquaculture, to intracellular drug delivery. This review summarizes the many aspects of the nano-bio interface of HNTs with different cell types (bacteria, algae and fungi, and mammalian cells), highlighting biocompatibility/bio-adverse properties, interaction mechanisms, and the latest cutting-edge technologies.

Abstract
Plasticizer dibutyl phthalate (DBP) pollution has received more and more attention. In this study, a DBP degrading bacteria Enterobacter sp. DNB-S2 was found to suffer membrane damage and oxidative stress during DBP degradation. Physiological and transcriptome analysis showed that 100 μmol L-1 anthraquinone-2,6-disulfonate (AQDS) could enhance the ability of strain DNB-S2 for biodegradation of DBP. AQDS adjusted the cell surface structure, including increase levels of hydrophobic and unsaturated fatty acids. These changes increased the chemotactic ability of the strain DNB-S2 to the hydrophobic pollutant DBP and the fluidity of the cell membrane. The expression of methyl chemotactic protein and genes associated with cell membrane-fixed components were up-regulated. AQDS also improved the scavenging ability of ·OH and H2O2 of DNB-S2 by promoting expression genes related to glutathione metabolism, thereby reducing oxidative stress. These results will provide new insights into the biodegradation of DBP.

Abstract
Recently, a large quantity of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) enters the environment due to the increasing production and applications. More and more researches are focused on the fate and possible ecological risks of CNTs. Some literatures summarized the effects of CNTs on the chemical behavior and fate of pollutants. However, little reviewed the effects of CNTs on the biodegradation of pollutants. In general, the effects of CNTs on the biodegradation of pollutants and the related mechanisms were summarized in this review. CNTs have positive or negative effects on the biodegradation of contaminants by affecting the functional microorganisms, enzymes and the bioavailability of pollutants. CNTs may affect the microbial growth, activity, biomass, community composition, diversity and the activity of enzymes. The decrease of the bioavailability of pollutants due to the sorption on CNTs also causes the reduction of the biodegradation of contaminants. In addition, the roles of CNTs are controlled by multiple mechanisms, which are divided into three aspects i.e., properties of CNTs, environment condition, and microorganisms themself. The better understanding of the fate of CNTs and their impacts on the biochemical process in the environment is conducive to determine the release of CNTs into the environment.

Abstract
Multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) are tubular carbon structures that are able to enter cells through holes in the plasma membrane and produce changes in gene expression. In this work, we compared the functionality of carbon nanotubes with the electroporation that perforates membranes, in Brassica oleracea var. Italica (broccoli) root protoplasts. For this, we combined those treatments with control conditions and abiotic stress (salinity) in order to elucidate if the response is related to conditions optimal for the plant. The measurement of the osmotic water permeability (Pf), mineral concentrations and expression levels of aquaporins (PIP1s and PIP2s) revealed that the physiological action of the nanotubes was similar to that achieved with electroporation for both Pf and the concentrations of nutrients in the protoplasts. On the other hand, PIP1s and PIP2s expression was increased in the protoplasts receiving the control plus MWCNTs treatment but not in those treated with electroporation. This opens new and interesting lines, as it shows that nanotubes are able to modulate the expression of aquaporins.

Effect of silver nanoparticles on gill membranes of common carp: Modification of fatty acid profile, lipid peroxidation and membrane fluidity. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2020; 256:113504.

Abstract
Although the toxicity of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) in aquatic organisms has been extensively investigated, the mechanism by which AgNPs damage membranes remains unclear. This study investigated the toxic effects of a series of sub-lethal concentrations of AgNPs on the membranes of freshwater carp (Cyprinus carpio) gills, based on changes in membrane fatty acid (FA) profile, membrane fluidity, membrane lipid peroxidation, and histopathology. Most of the FAs in fish gill membrane was not significantly affected by exposure to multiple AgNPs concentrations, only few significant changes occurred in some specific FAs species at a high concentration of AgNPs exposure. In particular, high concentrations of AgNPs significantly decreased the proportions of two important long-chain n-3 series polyunsaturated FAs (C20: 5n3, and C22: 6n3), resulting in a decreased ratio of n-3 polyunsaturated FAs to n-6 polyunsaturated FAs (Σn-3UFA/Σn-6UFA). The AgNPs also caused a dose-dependent decrease in fish gill membrane fluidity, increased the level of lipid peroxidation, and inhibited Na+/K+-ATPase enzyme activity. Further histopathological examination revealed that exposure to AgNPs can cause toxic responses in the lamellae, including the thinning of the basement membrane, malformation, and inflammation. Together, the results suggest that the mechanism of AgNPs membrane toxicity involves the oxidization of long-chain omega-3 unsaturated FAs to saturated FAs via lipid peroxidation, resulting in, decreased membrane fluidity and ultimately the destruction of the normal physiological function of the fish gill membrane. The findings contribute significantly to our understanding of nanoparticle-induced membrane toxicity and potential risks in aquatic environments.

Abstract
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) inevitably enter domestic sewage and industrial wastewater with the continuous increase of their production and application field. The potential effect of CNTs on biological wastewater treatment processes has raised wide concerns due to their biotoxicity. In the present study, the performance, microbial community and enzymatic activity of sequencing batch reactors (SBRs) were evaluated under 148-day exposure of amino-functionalized multi-walled CNTs (MWCNTs-NH2) at 10 and 30 mg/L. The COD removal efficiency at 10 and 30 mg/L MWCNTs-NH2 gradually reduced from 91.03% and 90.43% on day to 89.11% and 86.70% on day 148, respectively. The NH4+-N removal efficiency at 10 and 30 mg/L MWCNTs-NH2 gradually reduced from 98.98% and 98.46% on day 1 to 96.65% and 63.39% on day 148, respectively. Compared to 0 mg/L MWCNTs-NH2, the oxygen-utilizing rate, ammonia-oxidizing rate, nitrite-oxidizing rate, nitrite-reducing rate and nitrate-reducing rate at 30 mg/L MWCNTs-NH2 were decreased by 52.35%, 60.58%, 55.12%, 56.56% and 57.42% on day 148, respectively. The microbial reactive oxygen species and lactate dehydrogenase release on day 148 was increased by 59.71% and 55.28% at 30 mg/L MWCNTs-NH2, respectively. The key microbial enzymatic activity related to nitrogen removal decreased with the increase of operation time under MWCNTs-NH2 stress. The relative abundances of Nitrosomonas, Nitrosospira, Nitrospira and some denitrifying bacteria at 10 mg/L MWCNTs-NH2 gradually reduced with an increment in operation time. The changes of nitrogen removal rate, microbial community and enzymatic activity of SBR were related to the time-cumulative nonlinear inhibition effect under long-term exposure.

Abstract
The performance, microbial community and enzymatic activity of sequencing batch reactors (SBRs) were evaluated under long-term exposure of 0, 10 and 30 mg/L carboxyl functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs-COOH). The presence of 10 mg/L MWCNTs-COOH displayed no adverse impacts on the COD and NH4+-N removal of SBR, whereas 30 mg/L MWCNTs-COOH declined the COD and NH4+-N removal. MWCNTs-COOH inhibited the denitrifying process and led to the accumulation of effluent NO2--N concentration. The inhibition of MWCNTs-COOH on the oxygen utilization rate, nitrogen removal rate and enzymatic activity of activated sludge gradually enhanced with the increase of operating time and influent MWCNTs-COOH concentration. MWCNTs-COOH stimulated more reactive oxygen species production and lactate dehydrogenase release, which might affect the microbial physiological functions and morphology. The microbial diversity and richness was declined evidently after long-term exposure of MWCNTs-COOH. The relative abundance of nitrifying and denitrifying bacteria showed some changes under MWCNTs-COOH stress.

Abstract
Two-dimensional electrophoretic, western blotting, and quantitative polymerase chain reaction analyses of Escherichia coli cells exposed to pristine single walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs), and hydroxyl and carboxylic functionalized SWCNTs (SWCNT-OHs and SWCNT-COOHs) were conducted. SWCNT concentration and length were experimental variables. Exposing E. coli cells to SWCNTs led to changes in protein and gene expressions. Several proteins altered their regulations at a low SWCNT concentration (10 μg/ml) and were shut down at a high SWCNT concentration (100 μg/ml). The expressions of the phage shock protein (psp) operon including pspA, pspB, and pspC genes responded to the membrane stressors, SWCNTs, were also examined. While pspA and pspC expressions were influenced by the length, concentration, and functional groups of SWCNTs, pspB expression was not induced by SWCNTs. The alterations in phage shock protein and gene expressions indicated that SWCNTs caused cell membrane perturbation.

Abstract
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have huge industrial potential, and their environmental impacts need to be evaluated. Knowledge of CNT impacts on soil microbial communities is still limited. To address this knowledge gap, we systematically examined dynamic effects of one type of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWs) and three multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWs) with different outer diameters on the soil bacterial community in an agricultural soil over 56 days. The results showed that SWs differently affected soil bacterial abundance, diversity, and composition as compared to MWs. The differences could have resulted from the materials' distinct physical structure and surface composition, which in turn affected their bioavailability in soil. For certain treatments, soil bacterial diversity and the relative abundance of certain predominant phyla were correlated with their exposure duration. However, many phyla recovered to their initial relative abundance within 56 days, reflecting resilience of the soil bacterial community in response to CNT-induced disturbance. Further analysis at the genus level showed differential tolerance to MWs, as well as size- and dose-dependent tolerance among bacterial genera. Predictive functional profiling showed that while CNTs initially caused fluctuations in microbial community function, community function largely converged across all treatments by the end of the 56 day exposure.

Abstract
This work considers the effects of various carbon nanomaterials and fibres on bioelectrocatalytic and respiratory activity of bacterial cells during the oxidation of ethanol in the presence of an electron transport mediator. Gluconobacter oxydans sbsp. industrius VKM B-1280 cells were immobilised on the surfaces of graphite electrodes and had an adsorption contact with a nanomaterial (multi-walled carbon nanotubes, thermally expanded graphite, highly oriented pyrolytic graphite, graphene oxide, reduced graphene oxide). The electrochemical parameters of the electrodes (the polarisation curves, the value of generated current at the introduction of substrate, the impedance characteristics) were measured in two-electrode configuration. Modification by multi-walled carbon nanotubes led to the increase of microbial fuel cell (MFC) electric power by 26%. The charge transfer resistance of modified electrodes was 47% lower than unmodified ones. Thermally expanded and pyrolytic graphites had a slight negative effect on the electrochemical properties of modified electrodes. The respiratory activity of bacterial cells did not change in the presence of nanomaterials. The data can be used in the development of microbial biosensors and MFC electrodes based on Gluconobacter cells.

Abstract
The major concern regarding the biocide triclosan (TCS) stems from its potential coselection for antibiotic resistance. However, environmental impacts are often investigated using high concentrations and acute exposure, while predicted releases are typified by chronic low concentrations. Moreover, little information is available regarding the reversibility of TCS and derived antibiotic resistance with diminishing TCS usage. Here, the model Gram-negative bacterium Escherichia coli was exposed to 0.01 mg/L TCS continuously for more than 100 generations. The adapted cells gained considerable resistance to TCS as indicated by a significant increase in the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC50) from 0.034 to 0.581 mg/L. This adaptive evolution was attributed to overexpression and mutation of target genes (i.e., fabI) as evidenced by transcriptomic and genomic analyses. However, only mild tolerance to various antibiotics was observed, possibly due to reduced membrane permeability and biofilm formation. After TCS exposure ceased, the adapted cells showed persistent resistance to TCS due to inheritable genetic mutations, whereas their antibiotic tolerance declined over time. Our results suggest that extensive use of TCS may promote the evolution and persistence of TCS-resistant bacterial pathogens. A quantitative definition of the conditions under which TCS selects for multidrug resistance in the environment is crucially needed.

Abstract
The anode of a microbial fuel cell (MFC) was formed on a graphite electrode and immobilized Gluconobacter oxydans VKM-1280 bacterial cells. Immobilization was performed in chitosan, poly(vinyl alcohol) or N-vinylpyrrolidone-modified poly(vinyl alcohol). Ethanol was used as substrate. The anode was modified using multiwalled carbon nanotubes. The aim of the modification was to create a conductive network between cell lipid membranes, containing exposed pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ)-dependent alcoholdehydrogenases, and the electrode to facilitate electron transfer in the system. The bioelectrochemical characteristics of modified anodes at various cell/polymer ratios were assessed via current density, power density, polarization curves and impedance spectres. Microbial fuel cells based on chitosan at a matrix/cell volume ratio of 5:1 produced maximal power characteristics of the system (8.3 μW/cm²) at a minimal resistance (1111 Ohm cm²). Modification of the anode by multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) led to a slight decrease of internal resistance (down to 1078 Ohm cm²) and to an increase of generated power density up to 10.6 μW/cm². We explored the possibility of accumulating electric energy from an MFC on a 6800-μF capacitor via a boost converter. Generated voltage was increased from 0.3 V up to 3.2 V. Accumulated energy was used to power a Clark-type biosensor and a Bluetooth transmitter with three sensors, a miniature electric motor and a light-emitting diode.

Abstract
Multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) filters incorporated with carbon quantum dots (CDots) or single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) were produced for bacteria removal from aqueous solutions and also for inactivating the captured bacteria. TMTP Millipore membranes were used as the base of these filters. The results showed that filters with higher MWCNT loading had higher bacterial removal efficiencies. Filters with a MWCNT loading of 4.5 mg were highly effective at removing bacteria from aqueous solution, resulting in a log reduction of 6.41, 6.41, and 5.41 of E. coli cell numbers in filtrates compared to MWCNT filters without coating, MWCNTs filters with 0.15 mg CDot coating, and MWCNTs filters with 0.15 mg SWCNT coating, respectively. Ionic strength played an important role in bacteria removal. A higher NaCl concentration resulted in higher bacteria removal efficiencies of the filters. Both CDot coatings and SWCNT coatings did not significantly affect the MWCNT filter effects (P > 0.05). The coatings, especially CDot coatings, significantly inhibited the activities of bacteria retained on the filter surfaces (P < 0.05). The inhibitory rates were 94.21% or 73.17% on the MWCNT filter surfaces coated with 0.2 mg CDots or SWCNTs, respectively. These results demonstrated that MWCNT filters with CDot coatings were highly effective to remove bacteria from water and to inhibit the activities of the captured bacteria on filter surfaces. E. coli cells captured and inactivated on a MWCNTs–CDots modified filter.![]()

Abstract
The aim of the proposed work was to analyze the toxicity of oxidized carbon nanotubes (CNTox), functionalized by doxorubicin (CNT-Dox) and fluorescein (CNT-FITC) on cell and organism level. The cytotoxic effect of CNTox, CNT-Dox, and CNT-FITC was analyzed on tumor cells in vitro (2-D, 3-D cultures) and on Balb2/c mice model in vivo. As a result, it was demonstrated the possibility of doxorubicin immobilization on the surface of CNT and controlled release of doxorubicin (Dox) from the surface of CNT. Dox immobilization coincident with decreasing cytotoxic effect CNT-Dox compared with free Dox. Breakdown of peptide bonds with CNT surface led to the release of doxorubicin and dose-dependent enhancement of the cytotoxic effect of CNTs and Dox. The combined cytotoxic effect from CNTs, Dox, and trypsin on the survival of tumor cells was shown. At the organism level, it was investigated the effect of the obtained nanostructures on the state of hepatic enzymatic system, the protein metabolism, and cell blood composition of the experimental animals. CNTox influence in vivo model was statistically the same as control. CNT-Dox demonstrated lower total organism toxic effect compared to the pure doxorubicin. Deviations in the cell blood composition indicated a general toxic effect of CNT-Dox, but it was more moderate compared with of pure doxorubicin. From the data obtained, we concluded that binding CNTs with doxorubicin allows reducing toxicity of the doxorubicin on the general biochemical indicators of blood and violations in the blood cells composition in vivo. At the same time, the combined effect of CNTs and doxorubicin after drug release allowed us to achieve greater efficacy in suppressing tumor growth in vitro.
