Abstract
The research on bio-based flocculants for waste resource utilization and environmental protection has garnered significant attention. Bio-based flocculants encompass plant-based, animal-based, and microbial variants that are prepared and modified through biological, chemical, and physical methods. These flocculants possess abundant functional groups, unique structures, and distinctive characteristics. This review comprehensively discussed the removal rates of conventional pollutants and emerging pollutants by bio-based flocculants, the interaction between these flocculants and pollutants, their impact on flocculation performance in wastewater treatment, as well as their application cost. Furthermore, it described the common challenges faced by bio-based flocculants in practical applications along with various improvement strategies to address them. With their safety profile, environmental friendliness, efficiency, renewability, and wide availability from diverse sources, bio-based flocculants hold great potential for widespread use in wastewater treatment.

Jiang J, Zou Y, Sun Q, Liu S, Sun M, Zheng H, Li H. Copolymers functionalized with quaternary ammonium compounds under template chain exhibit simultaneously efficient bactericidal and flocculation properties: Characterization, performance and mechanism. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 465:133476. [PMID: 38232546 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2024.133476] [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: 10/10/2023] [Revised: 12/25/2023] [Accepted: 01/07/2024] [Indexed: 01/19/2024]
Abstract
In this work, novel multifunctional cationic template copolymers with flocculation and sterilization capabilities were synthesized using a low-pressure ultraviolet (LP-UV) template polymerization method for the removal of kaolin and Escherichia coli (E. coli) from water. The influence of template agents on the structural performance of the copolymers was evaluated through characterization, which showed that template copolymer TPADM possesses a higher cationic charge density and a more complex rough surface, contributing to better flocculation performance than that of the non-template copolymer CPADM. Under optimal experimental conditions, TPADM-1 exhibited removal rates of 98.45% for kaolin and 99% for E. coli (OD600 =0.04), marginally outperforming the non-template copolymer. Simultaneously, TPADM-1 produced good adaptability to kaolin and E. coli wastewater in terms of wide pH, speculating that charge neutralization, adsorption bridging, patching, and sweeping simultaneously dominate the flocculation mechanism. Interestingly, SEM and 3D-EEM analysis confirm that the sterilization of E. coli occurs through two distinct functions: initially adsorption followed by subsequent cell membrane rupture and leakage of cellular contents, ultimately leading to cell death. This research further confirms the feasibility of the designed novel multifunctional copolymers for achieving simultaneous disinfection and turbidity removal, demonstrating practical applicability in real water treatment processes.

Abstract
Salmonella should be absent in pharmaceutical preparations and foods according to the regulations. However, up to now, rapid and convenient identification of Salmonella is still full of challenge. Herein, we reported a label-free surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) method for direct identification of Salmonella spiked in drug samples based on a characteristic bacterial SERS marker assisted by a high-performance SERS chip and a selective culture medium. The SERS chip being fabricated through in situ growth of bimetallic Au-Ag nanocomposites on silicon wafer within 2 h, featured a high SERS activity (EF > 107), good uniformity and batch-to-batch consistency (RSD < 10 %), and satisfactory chemical stability. The directly-visualized SERS marker at 1222 cm-1 originated from bacterial metabolite hypoxanthine was robust and exclusive for discrimination of Salmonella with other bacterial species. Moreover, the method was successfully used for direct discrimination of Salmonella in mixed pathogens by using a selective culture medium, and could identify Salmonella contaminant at ∼1 CFU spiked level in a real sample (Wenxin granule, a botanical drug) after 12 h of enrichment. The combined results showed that developed SERS method is practical and reliable, and could be a promising alternative for rapid identification of Salmonella contamination in pharmaceutical and foods industries.

Screening of bioflocculant and cellulase-producing bacteria strains for biofloc culture systems with fiber-rich carbon source. Front Microbiol 2022; 13:969664. [PMID: 36504821 PMCID: PMC9729547 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2022.969664] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/15/2022] [Accepted: 10/31/2022] [Indexed: 11/25/2022] Open
Abstract
The biofloc technology (BFT) system has been widely applied in the shrimp and fish culture industry for its advantages in water-saving, growth improvement, and water quality purification. However, The BFT system usually takes a long time to establish, and the extra carbon source input increases the maintenance cost of the system. In this study, we aimed to develop a low-cost and high-efficient BFT system for Litopenaeus vannamei by applying bacteria that could promote the formation of BFT and utilize cheap carbon sources. Three bioflocculant-producing bacteria strains (M13, M15, and M17) have been screened from a cellulolytic strain collection. All three strains have been identified as Bacillus spp. and can use sugarcane bagasse (SB) as a carbon source, which is a cheap byproduct of the sucrose industry in the tropic area of China. Compared to sucrose, the addition of SB and the three strains could improve the biofloc formation rate, biofloc size distribution, ammonia removal rate, and the growth performance of the shrimps. These results suggest that the bioflocculant and cellulase-producing bacteria strains could promote the biofloc formation and the growth of shrimps by using SB as an economic substitute carbon source in the BFT shrimp culture system.

Abstract
Graphene oxide (GO), for its unique structure with high biocompatibility and designability, is widely used in the antibacterial field. Various strategies have been designed to fabricate GO-based composites with antibacterial properties. This review summarized these strategies, divided them into three types and interpreted their antibacterial mechanisms: (i) "GO*/non-GO" type in which GO acts as the single antibacterial core, (ii) "GO*/non-GO*" type in which GO and non-GO components function synergistically as dual antibacterial cores, (iii) "GO/non-GO*" type in which non-GO acts as the single antibacterial core, while GO component plays a supportive, not a dominant role in antibiosis. Besides, the fields suiting their applications and factors influencing their antibacterial properties were analyzed. Finally, the limitations and prospects in the current researches were discussed. In summary, GO-based composites have revolutionized antibacterial strategies. This review may serve as a reference to inspire further research on GO-based antibacterial composites.

Abstract
In recent years, bioanalytical surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) has blossomed into a fast-growing research area. Owing to its high sensitivity and outstanding multiplexing ability, SERS is an effective analytical technique that has excellent potential in bioanalysis and diagnosis, as demonstrated by its increasing applications in vivo. SERS allows the rapid detection of molecular species based on direct and indirect strategies. Because it benefits from the tunable surface properties of nanostructures, it finds a broad range of applications with clinical relevance, such as biological sensing, drug delivery and live cell imaging assays. Of particular interest are early-stage-cancer detection and the fast detection of pathogens. Here, we present a comprehensive survey of SERS-based assays, from basic considerations to bioanalytical applications. Our main focus is on SERS-based pathogen detection methods as point-of-care solutions for early bacterial infection detection and chronic disease diagnosis. Additionally, various promising in vivo applications of SERS are surveyed. Furthermore, we provide a brief outlook of recent endeavours and we discuss future prospects and limitations for SERS, as a reliable approach for rapid and sensitive bioanalysis and diagnosis.
