Li R, Wu Y, Wen N, Wei W, Zhao W, Li Y, Zhou L, Wang M. Assessing environmental and human health risks: Insight from the enantioselective metabolism and degradation of fenpropidin. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2024; 355:124214. [PMID: 38801883 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2024.124214] [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: 02/02/2024] [Revised: 05/22/2024] [Accepted: 05/23/2024] [Indexed: 05/29/2024]
Abstract
Fenpropidin (FPD), a widely employed chiral fungicide, is frequently detected in diverse environments. In an in vitro rat liver microsomes cultivation (RLMs), the metabolism exhibited the order of R-FPD > S-FPD, with respective half-lives of 10.42 ± 0.11 and 12.06 ± 0.15 min, aligning with kinetic analysis results. CYP3A2 has been demonstrated to be the most significant oxidative enzyme through CYP450 enzyme inhibition experiments. Molecular dynamics simulations unveiled the enantioselective metabolic mechanism, demonstrating that R-FPD forms hydrogen bonds with the CYP3A2 protein, resulting in a higher binding affinity (-6.58 kcal mol-1) than S-FPD. Seven new metabolites were identified by Liquid chromatography time-of-flight high-resolution mass spectrometry, which were mainly generated through oxidation, reduction, hydroxylation, and N-dealkylation reactions. The toxicity of the major metabolites predicted by the TEST procedure was found to be stronger than the predicted toxicity of FPD. Moreover, the enantioselective fate of FPD was studied by examining its degradation in three soils with varying physical and chemical properties under aerobic, anaerobic, and sterile conditions. Enantioselective degradation of FPD occurred in soils without enantiomeric transformation, displaying a preference for R-FPD degradation. R-FPD is a low-risk stereoisomer both in the environment and in mammals. The research presented a systematic and comprehensive method for analyzing the metabolic and degradation system of FPD enantiomers. This approach aids in understanding the behavior of FPD in the environment and provides valuable insights into their potential risks to human health.

Stereo-selective cardiac toxicity induced by metconazole via oxidative stress and the wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway in zebrafish embryos. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2024; 350:124034. [PMID: 38663507 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2024.124034] [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: 12/24/2023] [Revised: 02/13/2024] [Accepted: 04/22/2024] [Indexed: 05/01/2024]
Abstract
Metconazole (MEZ), a chiral triazole fungicide, produces enantioselective adverse effects in non-target organisms. Among MEZ's isomers, cis-MEZ displays robust antimicrobial properties. Evaluating MEZ and cis-MEZ's toxicity may mitigate fungicide usage and safeguard non-target organisms. Our study evaluated the toxicity of MEZ and its cis-isomers at concentrations of 0.02, 0.2, 2, and 4 mg L-1. We report stereoselectivity and severe cardiovascular defects in zebrafish, including pericardial oedema, decreased heart rate, increased sinus venous and bulbous arteries distances, intersegmental vessel defects, and altered cardiovascular development genes (hand2, gata4, nkx2.5, tbx5, vmhc, amhc, dll4, vegfaa, and vegfc). Further, MEZ significantly increased oxidative stress and apoptosis in zebrafish, primarily in the cardiac region. Isoquercetin, an antioxidant found in plants, partially mitigates MEZ-induced cardiac defects. Furthermore, MEZ upregulated the Wnt/β-catenin pathway genes (wnt3, β-catenin, axin2, and gsk-3β) and β-catenin protein expression. Inhibitor of Wnt Response-1 (IWR-1) rescued MEZ-induced cardiotoxicity. Our findings highlight oxidative stress, altered cardiovascular development genes, and upregulated Wnt/β-catenin signaling as contributors to cardiovascular toxicity in response to MEZ and cis-MEZ treatments. Importantly, 1R,5S-MEZ exhibited greater cardiotoxicity than 1S,5R-MEZ. Thus, our study provides a comprehensive understanding of cis-MEZ's cardiovascular toxicity in aquatic life.

Abstract
Enantioselective antibodies have emerged as efficient tools in the field of chiral chemical detection and separation. However, it is complicated to obtain a highly stereoselective antibody due to the unclear recognition mechanism. In this study, the hapten of metolachlor was synthesized and enantio-separated. The absolute configuration of the four haptens obtained was identified by the computed and experimental electronic circular dichroism comparison. Five polyclonal antibodies against the Rac-metolachlor and its enantiomers were generated by immunization. The cross-activity of all the 5 antibodies with 44 structural analogues, including metolachlor enantiomers, was tested. It demonstrated that antibodies have higher specificity to recognize central chirality than axial chirality. Especially, αRR-MET-Ab exhibited excellent specificity and stereoselectivity. Accordingly, 3D-QSAR models were constructed and revealed that paired stereoisomers exhibited opposite interactions with the antibodies. It is the first time that the antibodies against four stereoisomers were prepared and analyzed, which will be conducive to the rational design of the stereoselective antibodies.

Abstract
The presence of pharmaceuticals in surface water and wastewater has been an increasing area of research since they can represent a possible route for human exposure when these waters are used to irrigate crops. The concentration of these drugs in crops depends on their uptake and translocation within plants. A less recognized question is that over 50 % of pharmaceuticals are chiral compounds, but there is little knowledge about their enantioselectivity in plants. In this study, we evaluated the uptake, bioconcentration, and translocation of enantiomers of atenolol, a commonly used beta-blocker, in Arabidopsis thaliana cells and Lactuca sativa plants under hydroponic conditions. Atenolol was taken up by Arabidopsis thaliana cells during 120 h of exposure to solutions with 1 mg/L of R/S-(±)-atenolol. A moderate preference for R-(+)-atenolol over S-(-)-atenolol was observed, with the enantiomeric fraction (EF) reaching 0.532 ± 0.002 for the R enantiomer. Atenolol was also taken up and translocated by Lactuca sativa after hydroponic cultivation in nutrient solutions containing 1 or 10 μg/L R/S-(±)-atenolol. Moderate enantioselectivity was detected in the treatment with 10 μg/L, and the EF after 168 h was 0.42 ± 0.01, suggesting that S-(-)-atenolol was preferentially accumulated. Selectivity was also observed in the translocation factor (TF), calculated as the ratio of the concentration in the leaves over that in the roots. As many emerging contaminants are chiral, our findings highlight the importance to consider their fate and risks in terrestrial ecosystems at the enantiomer scale.

Abstract
In this study, we predicted the environmental fate of amide herbicides (AHs) using the EQC (EQuilibrium Criterion) model. We found that the soil phase is the main reservoir of AHs in the environment. Second, a toxicokinetic prediction indicated that butachlor have a low human health risk, while the alachlor, acetochlor, metolachlor, napropamide, and propanil are all uncertain. To address the environmental and human-health-related threats posed by AHs, 27 new proteins/enzymes that easily absorb, degrade, and mineralize AHs were designed. Compared with the target protein/enzyme, the comprehensive evaluation value of the new proteins/enzymes increased significantly: the absorption protein increased by 20.29-113.49%; the degradation enzyme increased by 151.26-425.22%; and the mineralization enzyme increased by 23.70-52.16%. Further experiments revealed that the remediating effect of 13 new proteins/enzymes could be significantly enhanced to facilitate their applicability under real environmental conditions. The hydrophobic interactions, van der Waals forces, and polar solvation are the key factors influencing plant-microorganism remediation. Finally, the simulations revealed that appropriate consumption of kiwifruit or simultaneous consumption of ginseng, carrot, and spinach, and avoiding the simultaneous consumption of maize and carrot/spinach are the most effective means reduce the risk of exhibiting AH-linked toxicity.

Abstract
Organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) have been used in agriculture, increasing crop yields and representing a serious and persistent global contaminant that is harmful to the environment and human health. OCPs are typically bioaccumulative and persistent chemicals that can spread over long distances. The challenge is to reduce the impacts caused by OCPs, which can be achieved by treating OCPs in an appropriate soil and water environment. Therefore, this report summarizes the process of bioremediation with commercially available OCPs, considering their types, impacts, and characteristics in soil and water sources. The methods explained in this report were considered to be an effective and environmentally friendly technique because they result in the complete transformation of OCPs into a non-toxic end product. This report suggests that the bioremediation process can overcome the challenges and limitations of physical and chemical treatment for OCP removal. Advanced methods such as biosurfactants and genetically modified strains can be used to promote bioremediation of OCPs.

Abstract
Flurtamone is a typical chiral pesticide with a pair of enantiomers. In this study, the enantioselective biological effects of flurtamone enantiomers were systematically investigated. The bioactivities of R-flurtamone were 6.3-35.6 and 1.7-9.9 times higher than S- and Rac-flurtamone, respectively. The contribution of the R-enantiomer to herbicidal activity was 86.3-97.3%. The carotenoid content in the R-flurtamone treatment group was 1.31-2.14 times lower than that in the S-flurtamone treatment group. Molecular docking found that flurtamone can form aromatic H-bonds with phenylalanine (PHE) 233 of phytoene desaturase (PDS), while R-flurtamone can form π-π stacking with PHE 202 and PHE 311. The binding energies of R- and S-flurtamone were -10.239 and -7.555 kcal/mol, respectively. Furthermore, the acute toxicity levels to Selenastrum capricornutum of R- and Rac-flurtamone were both highly toxic, and S-flurtamone has moderate toxicity. S-Flurtamone dissipated preferentially. Therefore, the development of R-flurtamone can decrease environmental risks and protect human health.

Abstract
The natural and anthropogenic sources of water bodies are contaminated with diverse categories of pollutants such as antibiotics, pharmaceuticals, pesticides, heavy metals, organic compounds, and other industrial chemicals. Depending on the type and the origin of the pollutants, the degree of contamination can be categorized into lower to higher concentrations. Therefore, the removal of hazardous chemicals from the environment is an important aspect. The physical, chemical and biological approaches have been developed and implemented to treat wastewaters. The microbial and algal treatment methods have emerged as a growing field due to their eco-friendly and sustainable approach. Particularly, microalgae emerged as a potential organism for the treatment of contaminated water bodies. The microalgae of the genera Chlorella, Anabaena, Ankistrodesmus, Aphanizomenon, Arthrospira, Botryococcus, Chlamydomonas, Chlorogloeopsis, Dunaliella, Haematococcus, Isochrysis, Nannochloropsis, Porphyridium, Synechococcus, Scenedesmus, and Spirulina reported for the wastewater treatment and biomass production. Microalgae have the potential for adsorption, bioaccumulation, and biodegradation. The microalgal strains can mitigate the hazardous chemicals via their diverse cellular mechanisms. Applications of the microalgae strains were found to be effective for sustainable developments and circular economy due to the production of biomass with the utilization of pollutants.

Abstract
This study investigated the indigenous functional microbial communities associated with the degradation of chiral fungicide mandipropamid enantiomers in soils repeatedly treated with a single enantiomer. The R-enantiomer degraded faster than the S-enantiomer, with degradation half-lives ranging from 10.2 d to 79.2 d for the R-enantiomer and 10.4 d to 130.5 d for the S-enantiomer. Six bacterial genera, (Burkholderia, Paraburkholderia, Hyphomicrobium, Methylobacterium, Caballeronia, and Ralstonia) with R-enantiomer substrate preference and three bacterial genera (Haliangium, Sorangium, and Sandaracinus) with S-enantiomer substate preference were responsible for the preferential degradation of the R-enantiomer and S-enantiomer, respectively. KEGG analysis indicated that Burkholderia, Paraburkholderia, Hyphomicrobium, and Methylobacterium were the dominant contributors to soil microbial metabolic functions. Notably, six microbial metabolic pathways and twelve functional enzyme genes were associated with the preferential degradation of the R-enantiomer, whose relative abundances in the R-enantiomer treatment were higher than those in the S-enantiomer treatment. A constructed biodegradation gene (BDG) protein database analysis further confirmed that Burkholderia, Paraburkholderia, Hyphomicrobium, Methylobacterium, and Ralstonia were the potential hosts of five dominant BDGs, bphA1, benA, bph, p450, and ppah. We concluded that bacterial genera Burkholderia, Paraburkholderia, Hyphomicrobium, and Methylobacterium may play pivotal roles in the preferential degradation of mandipropamid R-enantiomer in repeatedly treated soils.

Abstract
Dichlorprop (2-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy) propionic acid, DCPP), a commonly used herbicide for weed control, can be residually detected in soil. It is still unclear whether chiral DCPP exerts an enantioselective adverse effect on plant metabolism and the microbial community of the phyllosphere. In this study, we selected Arabidopsis thaliana as a model plant to explore the effects of R- and S-DCPP enantiomers on plant physiological activities, metabolism, and associated changes in the phyllosphere microbial community. Results indicated that the fresh weight of plants decreased by 37.6% after R-DCPP treatment, whereas it increased by 7.6% after S-DCPP treatment. The R-DCPP enantiomer also caused stronger disturbance to leaf morphology, mesophyll cell structure, and leaf metabolites compared with S-DCPP. GC-MS analysis of DCPP-treated Arabidopsis leaves pointed out a differential profile mostly in carbohydrates, organic acids, and fatty acids, between S-DCPP and R-DCPP treatments. The diversity of phyllospheric microorganisms decreased and the stability of microbial community in the phyllosphere increased after R-DCPP treatment, whereas the opposite result was detected after S-DCPP exposure. The correlation analysis revealed that chiral herbicides may affect microbial communities in the phyllosphere by influencing leaf metabolism, while sugars and terpenoids were considered the main factors in reshaping the microbial community structure in the phyllosphere. Our study provides a new perspective for evaluating the effect of residual DCPP enantiomers on plant physiology and corresponding phyllosphere microorganism changes via the regulation of leaf metabolism, and clarifies the ecological risk of DCPP enantiomer application in agriculture.

Effects of Imazethapyr on Soybean Root Growth and Soil Microbial Communities in Sloped Fields. SUSTAINABILITY 2022.

Abstract
The herbicide imazethapyr was previously recommended for controlling weeds in soybean fields. However, the effects of imazethapyr on soil microbial communities and their relationship with crop root growth in sloped soils remain unclear. In this study, a field experiment was conducted on a sloped field to explore the effects of imazethapyr on crop root growth, microbial communities, microbial co-occurrence networks, and the interactions between microbes and crop root growth. The field experiment included two factors: slope and imazethapyr. The slope factor included three different slope gradients: 5° (S1), 10° (S2), and 15° (S3). The imazethapyr factor included two treatments: with (I1) and without (I0) imazethapyr. Thus, six total combinations of slope and imazethapyr treatments were tested in this study: S1I1, S2I1, S3I1, S1I0, S2I0, and S3I0. The results show that, compared to the I0 treatments, the I1 treatments significantly increased the soybean root length, surface area, and volume by 11.7~26.5 m, 171.7~324.2 cm2, and 1.8~3.1 cm3, respectively, across all the slopes. The Proteobacteria, Actinobacteriota, and Bacteroidota bacterial phyla and Ascomycota and Basidiomycota fungal phyla were found to be the top phyla represented bacterial and fungal communities. These five phyla were scattered in co-occurrence networks of bacterial and fungal communities, suggesting these phyla play critical roles in enhancing the stability of co-occurrence networks. Compared to the I0 treatments, the I1 treatments increased nodes from Proteobacteria, Actinobacteriota, and Bacteroidota phyla by 6.4%, 9.1%, and 11.2%, respectively, in the bacterial co-occurrence network. Similarly, in the fungal co-occurrence network, the I1 treatments improved nodes from Ascomycota and Basidiomycota phyla by 1.8% and 5.8%, respectively. Compared to the I0 treatments, the I1 treatments increased positive relations by 8.3% and 3.2%, respectively, in the bacterial and fungal co-occurrence networks. Moreover, the I1 treatments increased the relative abundance of root-promoting biomarkers and suppressed root-limiting biomarkers. However, the application of imazethapyr reduced the diversity and richness of bacterial and fungal communities in general. Furthermore, the nodes and links of bacterial co-occurrence networks in the I0 treatments were 9.2% and 78.8% higher than these in the I1 treatments. Similarly, the I1 treatments also decreased 17.9% of fungal community links compared to the I0 treatments. Our data also show that compared to the I0 treatments, the I1 treatments decreased almost all gene families encoding nitrogen and carbon cycling pathways. In conclusion, the application of imazethapyr increased soybean root growth by increasing root-promoting biomarkers and improved the stability and cooperation of co-occurrence networks of bacterial and fungal communities. However, the application of imazethapyr had some negative impacts on microbial communities, such as reducing the diversity of bacterial and fungal communities and nitrogen and carbon cycling pathways.

Abstract
Imazamox (IM) is a chiral pesticide that has been widely used in agriculture. Currently, few studies have investigated the toxicity mechanisms of imazamox to aquatic macrophyte from the enantiomer level. In this study, the enantioselective effects of IM on the toxicity and physiological and biochemical system of aquatic macrophyte Lemna minor were systematically investigated. Metabolomic and transcriptomic for Lemna minor were used to identify potential mechanisms of toxicity. 7 d EC50s for racemic-, R-, and S-IM were 0.036, 0.035, and 0.203 mg/L, respectively, showing enantioselective toxicity. In addition, IM caused Lemna minor lipid peroxidation and antioxidant damage, and inhibited the activities of the target enzymes. Metabolomic and transcriptomic data indicated that R-IM interferenced differentially expressed genes and metabolites of Lemna minor which were enriched in carbon fixation during photosynthesis, glutathione metabolic pathway, pentose phosphate pathway, zeatin biosynthesis, and porphyrin and chlorophyll metabolism. S-IM affected phenylalanine metabolism, phenylpropanoid biosynthesis, zeatin biosynthesis and secondary metabolite biosynthesis. Racemic-IM influenced carbon fixation during operation, glutathione metabolic pathway, zeatin biosynthesis and pentose phosphate pathway. The results provide new insights into the enantioselective toxicity mechanisms of IM to Lemna minor, and lay the foundation for conducting environmental risk assessments.

Abstract
This study investigated indigenous functional microbial communities associated with the degradation of chloroacetamide herbicides acetochlor (ACE), S-metolachlor (S-MET) and their enantiomers in repeatedly treated soils. The results showed that biodegradation was the main process for the degradation of ACE, S-MET and their enantiomers. Eight dominant bacterial genera associated with the degradation were found: Amycolatopsis, Saccharomonospora, Mycoplasma, Myroides, Mycobacterium, Burkholderia, Afipia, and Kribbella. The S-enantiomers of ACE and S-MET were preferentially degraded, which mainly relied on Amycolatopsis, Saccharomonospora and Kribbella for the ACE S-enantiomer and Amycolatopsis and Saccharomonospora for the S-MET S-enantiomer. Importantly, the relative abundances of Amycolatopsis and Saccharomonospora increased by 146.3%-4467.2% in the S-enantiomer treatments of ACE and S-MET compared with the control, which were significantly higher than that in the corresponding R-enantiomer treatments (25.3%-4168.2%). Both metagenomic and qPCR analyses demonstrated that four genes, ppah, alkb, benA, and p450, were the dominant biodegradation genes (BDGs) potentially involved in the preferential degradation of the S-enantiomers of ACE and S-MET. Furthermore, network analysis suggested that Amycolatopsis, Saccharomonospora, Mycoplasma, Myroides, and Mycobacterium were the potential hosts of these four BDGs. Our findings indicated that Amycolatopsis and Saccharomonospora might play pivotal roles in the preferential degradation of the S-enantiomers of ACE and S-MET.

Abstract
Pollutants inhibit thallus growth and development or alter the metabolism and associated anatomical and morphophysiological characteristics of lichens. Since agricultural matrices can act as sources of pollution by dispersing agrochemicals to vegetation fragments, this study tested the hypothesis that Parmotrema tinctorum can serve as the indicator of edge effect in such fragments. In other words, we assumed the impact of pollutant accumulation to be greater at the vegetation edges and explored the utility of this lichen as a bioindicator of pollutants dispersed from agricultural matrices. Differences in the anatomical layers of P. tinctorum thalli sampled from the edge and center of four vegetation fragments (CER, SSF, SSC, and ENP) were evaluated, and the effects of agricultural matrices on macro- and micronutrient levels, heavy metal levels, and photosynthetic pigment content were analyzed. Anatomical layers were thicker in P. tinctorum thalli from the edges of SSC and ENP, indicating the need for photobiont protection at these sites. Edge effect was observed on Al accumulation in the thallus, indicating dispersion of this metal from agricultural matrices and its greater impact in the edge populations. Edge effect was also evident on photosynthetic pigment content, macro- and micronutrient levels, and heavy metal concentration in the thallus, and the values reflected high ecological imbalance currently verified at the edge of ENP, an area of permanent protection. In areas within ENP, chlorophyll a/b ratio reflected stress factors acting on the thallus, indicating that even legally protected areas are not free from the impact of atmospheric pollutants. P. tinctorum may serve as an effective indicator of edge effects and may be used for biomonitoring pollutant dispersion from agricultural matrices.

Abstract
Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are one of the most commonly used nanomaterials in industrial and agricultural production. Glyphosate is a broad-spectrum systemic herbicide, which mainly acts in the phloem of weeds that compete with crop growth and is widely used in agriculture. This study investigated the interactive effects of AgNPs and glyphosate on the physiological morphology, gene transcription, and rhizosphere microorganisms of wheat. Our results demonstrated that wheat growth, and the structure and diversity of rhizosphere microorganisms were slightly influenced by AgNPs and glyphosate single treatment at the test concentration. However, AgNPs and glyphosate (Gly) combined treatment (AgNPs + Gly) strongly inhibited wheat growth and influenced gene transcription. In total, 955, 601, and 1336 genes were determined to be differentially expressed in AgNPs, glyphosate, and combined treatment, respectively. According to KEGG analysis, the combined groups induced an antioxidant response by upregulating the transcription of phenylpropanoid biosynthesis-related genes. In addition, more energy was needed, and disrupted cell membrane was shown in the combined treatment, which displayed in the upregulation of sucrose, starch, and lipid synthesis. Moreover, the relative abundance of Bradyrhizobium, Devosia, Kribbella, Sphingopyxis (nitrogen-fixing bacteria), and Streptomyces (plant growth-promoting bacteria) in soil microbiota were decreased, implicated that nitrogen fixation and some beneficial substance secretions were inhibited by the combined treatment. This study emphasized that the synergetic effects of AgNPs and glyphosate exerted a negative impact on wheat growth.

Abstract
Over 40% of herbicides used today are chiral. Dichlorprop (2, 4-DCPP) is a widely used typical broad-spectrum chiral aryloxyphenoxy propionic acid (AOPP) herbicide. However, the molecular mechanism of the enantioselectivity of DCPP enantiomers (S-DCPP and R-DCPP) and their effects on non-target organisms are remain unclear. In the present study, the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana was treated by DCPP enantiomers to directly reveal the effects of DCPP enantiomers on plant growth, as well as metabolic profile. Results showed that the enantioselectivity embodied in that R-DCPP treatment led to the decrease of shoot weight, the significantly variation on morphology of shoot and root, oxidative damage, et al., while the plant morphology also changes to a certain extent associated oxidative damage after treated by S-DCPP. By using metabolomic analysis, it was found that R-DCPP had significant effects on A. thaliana leaf metabolism, including lactose metabolism, starch and sucrose metabolism, TCA cycle, fatty acid biosynthesis pathway and pentose phosphate pathway, and accumulated a lot of antioxidants in plant leaves, while the amino acids and some terpenoids increased in S-DCPP group. Our study provides a new direction to explore the relationship between chiral herbicides on leaf metabolism, and the effect of this relationship on the plant growth.

Abstract
Paclobutrazol is a triazole plant growth regulator with a wide range of applications in crop and fruit tree production. Paclobutrazol is used as a racemic mixture in agriculture. However, the effects of paclobutrazol enantiomers on soil microbial community structure and diversity are unclear. In the present study, Illumina high-throughput sequencing was used to study the enantioselective effects of two paclobutrazol enantiomers on soil microbial community. S-paclobutrazol was more persistent than R-paclobutrazol. The half-lives of the S- and R-isomers were 80 d and 50 d, respectively. No interconversion between the two isomers occurred in soils. In addition, the enantiomers had significant enantiomeric effects on soil microbial community and the paclobutrazol degradation was probably attributed to the presence of Pseudomonas and Mycobacterium. Notably, the relative abundance of Fusarium, a genus of filamentous fungi producing gibberellins, could be enantioselectively affected by the chiral enantiomers. Paclobutrazol enantiomers exhibited greater effects on the fungal community structure than bacterial community structure due to the fungicidal activity of paclobutrazol. Finally, R-paclobutrazol had a significant effect on the microbial networks. The findings of the present study suggest that the use of S-paclobutrazol may accomplish both plant growth regulation and the minimization of effects of paclobutrazol on soil microbial communities.

Abstract
Biocides are used in building materials to protect the building against microbial colonization and biodeterioration. However, these biocides are introduced by gradual leaching into soils in proximity of the buildings. This review discusses the aspects and characteristics of biocides from building materials in terms of (i) in-situ leaching and simulation thereof in-vitro and in-field tests, (ii) persistence, as well as photolytic and biodegradation, and its influence on toxicological evaluation, and (iii) evaluation of terrestrial toxicity by conventional ecotoxicological tests and novel holistic testing approaches. These aspects are influenced by multiple parameters, out of which water availability, physicochemical properties of microhabitats, combination of biocidal building materials, soil parameters, and composition of the soil microbiome are of utmost relevance. Deeper understanding of this multiparametric system and development of comprehensive characterization methodologies remains crucial, as to facilitate realistic assessment of the environmental impact of biocides used in construction materials and the corresponding degradation byproducts.

The stereoselectivity of metconazole on wheat grain filling and harvested seeds germination: Implication for the application of triazole chiral pesticides. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2021; 416:125911.

Abstract
Plant growth can be influenced by the application of triazole pesticides as these regulate physiological processes such as plant hormonal levels and enzyme activity. Homology modeling and molecular docking studies suggested that inhibition of ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase activity in two trans-stereoisomers treatments hinders starch accumulation during the grain filling stage. A field experiment investigated the effects of metconazole racemate, cis-1R,5S-stereostereoisomer, and cis-1S,5R-stereoisomer application at the flowering stage on wheat grain ripening and yield. The concentrations of racemate and both cis-stereoisomers were detected in wheat plant and grain samples. Compared with the racemate, both cis-stereoisomers were more persistent in the matrices. Treatment with cis-1R,5S-stereoisomer decreased grain weight and yield of wheat by delaying chlorophyll degradation, increasing the ethylene content, and decreasing the level of abscisic acid. The germination of harvested seeds was adversely affected by racemate treatment as a result of gibberellin and abscisic acid metabolism regulation and the transcription of signaling-related genes. Therefore, cis-1S,5R-stereoisomer was recommended to be used as metconazole pesticide at the flowering stage.

Abstract
Plants have always grown and evolved surrounded by numerous microorganisms that inhabit their environment, later termed microbiota. To enhance food production, humankind has relied on various farming practices such as irrigation, tilling, fertilization, and pest and disease management. Over the past few years, studies have highlighted the impacts of such practices, not only in terms of plant health or yields but also on the microbial communities associated with plants, which have been investigated through microbiome studies. Because some microorganisms exert beneficial traits that improve plant growth and health, understanding how to modulate microbial communities will help in developing smart farming and favor plant growth-promoting (PGP) microorganisms. With tremendous cost cuts in NGS technologies, metagenomic approaches are now affordable and have been widely used to investigate crop-associated microbiomes. Being able to engineer microbial communities in ways that benefit crop health and growth will help decrease the number of chemical inputs required. Against this background, this review explores the impacts of agricultural practices on soil- and plant-associated microbiomes, focusing on plant growth-promoting microorganisms from a metagenomic perspective.

Abstract
The aim of the work was to determine the quantitative, qualitative composition and taxonomic structure of the eubacterial complex in the rhizosphere of sugar beet under different fertilizer systems. Microbiological methods were used to determine the content of microorganisms in the rhizosphere of sugar beet. Molecular methods were used to determine taxonomic structure as well as metagenome of the eubacterial complex of microorganisms. In the agrocenosis of sugar beet under different fertilizer systems the representatives of such families were prevailed as Alcaligenaceae, Pseudomonadaceae, Nitrososphaeraceae, Gaiellaceae, Micrococcaceae, Solirubrobacteraceae, Streptomycetaceae, Intrasporangiaceae, Solimonadaceae, Syntrophobacteraceae, Xanthomonadaceae, Enterobacteriaceae, Nocardioidaceae, Hyphomicrobiaceae, Comamonadaceae. It was found that under the biological system of fertilizers the species diversity of soil microbiota increased due to phyla: Alcaligenaceae, Gaiellaceae, Solirubrobacteraceae, Streptomycetaceae, Solimonadaceae, Syntrophobacteraceae, Xanthomonadaceae, Enterobacteriaceae, Nocardioidaceae, Hyphomicrobiaceae, Hyphomicrobiaceae. It was detected that the basis of the eubacterial complex of sugar beet included representatives of phyla Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, Gemmatimonadetes, Chloroflexi, Acidobacteria, Firmicutes, Planctomycetes, Verrucomicrobia, Bacteroidetes, and the absolute dominants were Proteobacteria – 76.9%, Actinobacteria – 13,4 %.

Abstract
The vast usage of agrochemicals enhances food security globally but may pose challenge to understand the risk assessment to non-target organisms and human beings, and liver microsomes are responsible for metabolism of these agrochemicals in vivo. In this study, stereoselective metabolism of chiral triazole fungicide cyproconazole in rat liver microsomes has been investigated through chiral LC-MS/MS technique. The half-lives of four cyproconazole stereoisomers were different ranging from 95 to 187 min, and (2S, 3R)-cyproconazole preferentially metabolized in rat liver microsomes. In addition, the results from metabolism kinetic study indicated that rat liver microsomes showed the stronger potency to deplete (2S, 3R)-cyproconazole than the others. Then, homology modeling and molecular docking results revealed that the docking energy between (2S, 3R)-cyproconazole and the cytochrome P450 CYP3A1 (-7.46 kcal⋅mol-1) was higher than the others, meaning that (2S, 3R)-cyproconazole exhibited the strongest binding ability to this enzyme. Moreover, two main metabolites of cyproconazole coming from hydroxylation and dehydration were observed, and possible metabolic reactions of cyproconazole in rat liver microsomes were identified through using an LCQ ion trap mass spectrometer. This kind of systematic metabolic investigation of cyproconazole at chiral level would provide valuable information for ecological and human health risk assessment of chiral pesticides.

Abstract
Microalgae and cyanobacteria are fundamental components of aquatic ecosystems. Pollution in aquatic environment is a worldwide problem. Toxicological research on microalgae and cyanobacteria can help to establish a solid foundation for aquatic ecotoxicological assessments. Algae and cyanobacteria occupy a large proportion of the biomass in aquatic environments; thus, their toxicological responses have been investigated extensively. However, the depth of toxic mechanisms and breadth of toxicological investigations need to be improved. While existing pollutants are being discharged into the environment daily, new ones are also being produced continuously. As a result, the phenomenon of water pollution has become unprecedentedly complex. In this review, we summarize the latest findings on five kinds of aquatic pollutants, namely, metals, nanomaterials, pesticides, pharmaceutical and personal care products (PPCPs), and persistent organic pollutants (POPs). Further, we present information on emerging pollutants such as graphene, microplastics, and ionic liquids. Efforts in studying the toxicological effects of pollutants on microalgae and cyanobacteria must be increased in order to better predict the potential risks posed by these materials to aquatic ecosystems as well as human health.

Abstract
S-metolachlor (S-ME) is a widely used chiral herbicide that can cause potential ecological risks via long-term usage. In this work, we chose a model plant, wheat, as the test material to determine the effects of applying 10 mg/kg S-ME to soil on its fresh weight, chlorophyll and malondialdehyde (MDA) content, and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and the diversity and structural composition of the phyllosphere microorganisms after 7 and 14 days of exposure. Our work showed that this concentration of residual S-ME in soil only slightly decreased plant biomass and had little effect on lipid peroxidation, the antioxidant enzyme system and chlorophyll content. Interestingly, although the test concentration of S-ME did not exert strong inhibitory effects on the physiological activities of wheat, it decreased the diversity of phyllosphere microbial communities and changed their structure, indicating that microorganisms were more sensitive stress indicators. S-ME reduced the colonization by some beneficial bacteria related to plant nitrogen fixation among the phyllosphere microorganisms, which influenced the growth and yield of wheat because these bacteria contribute to plant fitness. In addition, S-ME affected the association between the host and the composition of the phyllosphere microbial communities under different growth conditions. Our work provides insights into the ecological implications of the effects of herbicides on the phyllosphere microbiome.

Abstract
In addition to their fungicidal activity, many triazole fungicides function as plant regulators, which might impose adverse effects on the growth and development of crops. For chiral triazole fungicides, these effects can be alleviated by applying stereoisomers with high fungicidal and low regulator activities. This study investigated the stereoselectivity of four stereoisomers and the racemate of metconazole (2.5 g/100 kg seeds) on emergence and growth of seedlings (BBCH 01-14) in wheat. Wheat seedlings, coated with cis-1S,5R-metconazole, had a significantly lower seedling emergence ratio and shoot length than other metconazole treatments; however, the opposite effects were observed in the trans-1S,5S-metconazole treatment. With regard to the hormonal level, enzyme activity, and gene transcription of gibberellin (GA) and jasmonic acid (JA), cis-1S,5R-metconazole treatment inhibited GA biosynthesis while trans-1S,5S-metconazole treatment promoted GA biosynthesis. Moreover, cis-1S,5R-metconazole, trans-1S,5S-metconazole, trans-1R,5R-metconazole, and racemate treatments increased JA biosynthesis. The oxidative stress responses in trans-1R,5R-metconazole and racemate treatments were more intensive. Therefore, compared with the control, treatment with cis-1R,5S-metcoanzole exhibited minimal influence on wheat seedling growth. The results showed that the application of pure cis-1R,5S-metcoanzole (instead of the racemate) in agricultural management could decrease the risks associated with crop growth and developmental damage.

Abstract
Imazethapyr (IM) is a widely used acetolactate synthase-inhibiting chiral herbicide. It has long-term residuals that may be absorbed by the human body through the edible parts of plants, such as vegetable leaves or fruits. Here, we selected a model plant, Arabidopsis thaliana, to determine the effects of R-IM and S-IM on its leaf structure, photosynthetic efficiency, and metabolites, as well as the structures of microorganisms in the phyllosphere, after 7 days of exposure. Our results indicated enantiomeric differences in plant growth between R-IM and S-IM; 133 µg/kg R-IM showed heavier inhibition of photosynthetic efficiency and greater changes to subcellular structure than S-IM. R-IM and S-IM also had different effects on metabolism and leaf microorganisms. S-IM mainly increased lipid compounds and decreased amino acids, while R-IM increased sugar accumulation. The relative abundance of Moraxellaceae human pathogenic bacteria was increased by R-IM treatment, indicating that R-IM treatment may increase leaf surface pathogenic bacteria. Our research provides a new perspective for evaluating the harmfulness of pesticide residues in soil, phyllosphere microbiome changes via the regulation of plant metabolism, and induced pathogenic bacterial accumulation risks.

Abstract
To clarify the environmental behaviour and bioactivity of epoxiconazole enantiomers, an integrated assessment has been done. The degradation in soil, water, and river-sediments were studied. The toxicity to Chlorella vulgaris and Daphnia magna was also examined. The bioactivity to plant-pathogens and molecular docking to CYP51 were investigated. The obtained results showed that the half-lives of R,S-(+)- and S,R-(-)-epoxiconazole were 38.8 and 21.2 days in Jiangsu soil, 43.2 and 22.7 days in Jiangxi soil, 29.1 and 21.3 days in Jilin soil, 43.5 and 32.7 days in anaerobic Jilin soil, 12.3 and 10.1 days in river sediments, and 33.2 and 9.3 days in river water, respectively. Maximum EF was 0.36 in Yangzi-river water. No enantioselective degradation was found in sterilized conditions. The EC50 to C. vulgaris after 48 h was 27.78 mg L-1, and 18.93 mg L-1 for R,S-(+)-, and S,R-(-)-epoxiconazole, respectively. The LC50 to D. magna was 4.16 mg L-1, and 8.49 mg L-1 for R,S-(+)-, and S,R-(-)-epoxiconazole, respectively. R,S-(+)-epoxiconazole bioactivity was 1.3-7.25 times higher than S,R-(-)-epoxiconazole. In conclusion, R,S-(+)- has higher bioactivity and higher environmental toxicity. In opposite, S,R-(-)- has lower environmental toxicity and lower bioactivity. R,S-(+)-epoxiconazole use is recommended with lower concentrations, which is appropriate for environment safety.

Abstract
The application of pesticides reduces the loss of crops while simultaneously increasing crop productivity. However, the frequent use of pesticides can cause serious environmental problems due to their high accumulative and persistent nature. Recently, microalgae technology has received considerable success in the efficient treatment of pesticides pollution. In this review, the metabolic mechanisms responsible for the removal of pesticides are summarized based on previous studies. Different methods used to enhance the ability of microalgae to remove pesticides are critically evaluated. The recycling of microalgae biomass after wastewater treatment for biochar preparation and biodiesel production using the biorefinery approach is also introduced. Furthermore, we present potential future research directions to highlight the prospects of microalgae research in the removal of pesticides along with the production of value-added products.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2019; 692:723-731. [PMID: 31539980 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2019.07.333] [Citation(s) in RCA: 30] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/27/2019] [Revised: 07/19/2019] [Accepted: 07/20/2019] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
The enantioselective effects of imazethapyr (IM) enantiomers on wheat seedlings in a hydroponic medium were studied. R-IM at 0.05mg/L exerted a stronger inhibitory effect on shoot weight and root weight than 0.05mg/L S-IM, suggesting that R-IM more severely inhibited growth. Oxidative damage, based on the anthocyanin content, malondialdehyde (MDA) content, antioxidant enzyme activities and transcript levels of antioxidant enzyme genes, were studied together with the cellular ultrastructure of wheat leaves. The anthocyanin and MDA contents in the R-IM treatment group were significantly increased compared with those in the control group, but no significant changes were observed in the S-IM treatment group. The antioxidant enzyme activities of CAT and SOD were inhibited by 0.32- and 0.73-fold, respectively, in the 14day R-IM treatment group compared to those in the control. However, the transcript levels of antioxidant enzyme genes, including CuZnSOD, POD and CAT, were downregulated in the 14day R-IM exposure group, but those of DHAR were not. The number and size of starch granules increased and chloroplast swelling was observed in wheat leaf cells after R-IM exposure, which showed that photosynthetic functions were potentially disturbed. These results directly or indirectly imply that R-IM exposure causes more oxidative stress and exerts a stronger negative effect on wheat than S-IM. A metabolomics approach revealed that the tricarboxylic acid cycle was heavily suppressed by R-IM treatment. Some amino acids (proline, threonine, lysine, valine) were increased by only the R-IM treatment, indicating the activation of antioxidant pathways. The decrease in a series of fatty acids implied that the cell membrane composition changed in response to R-IM. These results provide a deeper understanding of the enantioselective effects of IM enantiomers on the molecular and metabolic responses in wheat seedlings.

[PMID: 31323613 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2019.07.018] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/03/2019] [Revised: 06/20/2019] [Accepted: 07/04/2019] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
Fomesafen, a long-lived protoporphyrinogen-oxidase inhibitor, specially developed for post-emergence control of broad-leaf weeds, is used widely in soybean fields in northern China (Dayan and Duke, 2010). The impact of fomesafen on microbial communities in rhizosphere soils, however, is unknown. In this study we examined fomesafen degradation as well as its effects in the rhizosphere of soybean plants grown in a greenhouse. Fomesafen had shorter half-life in rhizosphere soil than previously reported for bulk soil from the same location (87 vs 120 days). The enzyme activity of soil extracts and the microbial community composition of 16S rRNA genes (16S) amplified from soil DNA were also investigated. Although not immediately apparent, both the high (37.5 mg kg-1) and low (18.75 mg kg-1) doses of fomesafen significantly decreased urease and invertase activities in the rhizosphere soil from days 30 and 45 respectively until the end of the experiment (90 days). Analysis of 16S amplicons demonstrated that fomesafen had a dose dependent effect, decreasing alpha diversity and altering beta diversity. Significant phylum level decreases were observed in five of the ten phyla that were most abundant in the control. Proteobacteria was the only phylum whose relative abundance increased in the presence of fomesafen, driven by increases in the genera Methylophilacaea, Dyella, and Sphingomonas. The functional implications of changes in 16S abundance as predicted using PICRUSt suggested that fomesafen enriched for enzymes involved in xenobiotic metabolism and detoxification (cytochrome P450s and glutathione metabolism). Our data suggest that, despite being degraded more rapidly in the rhizosphere than in bulk soil, fomesafen had long-lasting functional impacts on the soil microbial community.

Abstract
The soil ecosystem is composed of a mixture of living organisms and non-living matter as well as the complex interactions between them. In the past 100 years or so, agricultural soil ecosystems have been strongly affected by agricultural practices such as tillage and the use of pesticides and fertilizers, which strongly affect soil nutrient composition, pH and biodiversity. In modern pest management, however, the focus is gradually shifting from crop production through agricultural practices to soil ecosystem protection. In this review we discuss how the underground chemical signals secreted by plant roots play a role in keeping the soil ecosystem in balance and how they affect plant fitness by shaping the root biome, increasing nutrient availability, promoting symbiosis, and attracting beneficial organisms and repelling harmful ones, including other plants. We review a number of fascinating cases, such as signaling molecules with dual, positive and negative, functions and bacterial quorum sensing mimicking molecules. Finally, examples of how these compounds can be exploited in modern pest management are reviewed, and the prospects for future developments discussed. © 2019 The Authors.

Abstract
Metconazole (MEZ) is a broad-spectrum fungicide with four optical stereoisomers. Compared to traditional fungicides, it achieves better control effect at lower dosages. However, its toxicity to non-target organisms has rarely been investigated. This study investigated the stereoselective toxicity of metconazole to Chlorella pyrenoidosa (C. pyrenoidosa). The results indicate that the presence of the racemate and four stereoisomers of MEZ caused a sudden increase of reactive oxygen species (ROS). This in turn stimulated antioxidant defense, impaired photosynthesis and responses of subcellular structure, and eventually inhibited cell growth. The 96 h-EC50 of the racemate, cis-1R,5S-MEZ, cis-1S,5R-MEZ, trans-1S,5S-MEZ, and trans-1R,5R-MEZ were 0.058, 0.182, 0.129, 0.032, and 0.038 mg/L, respectively. Furtheromre, the generation of ROS, antioxidant response, and the loss of photosynthetic function in C. pyrenoidosa were all preferentially trans-1S,5S-MEZ induced. These results aid the understanding of the stereoselective effects of chiral pesticides on C. pyrenoidosa. Such stereoselective differences must be considered when assessing the risk of metconazole to environment.

Abstract
Photosynthetic pigment content, antioxidant enzyme activities of plants, microbial enzyme activities and community structure were analyzed to investigate the effects of glucose and starch on the toxicity of nitrobenzene (NB) to plants and microbes in constructed wetlands (CWs). As the influent NB concentration increased from 10 mg/L to 100 mg/L, the NB removal efficiency of the blank group decreased from 97.1% to 75.02%. However, the NB removal efficiencies of the external carbon source groups were maintained at nearly 100%. External carbon sources accelerated the transformation process of NB to aniline (AN), thus decreasing NB toxicity to the microbes and plants. When the influent NB concentration reached 100 mg/L, the NB removal rates and NB reductase activities of the external carbon source groups were 2.4 times and 4 times higher, respectively, than those of the blank group. Most of the dominant genera found in the three CWs could reduce nitroaromatics to the corresponding aromatic amines according to the results of high-throughput sequencing. The performance of NB removal in the CWs indicated the potential of CWs for NB treatment and the necessity of external carbon sources under high NB concentrations.

Abstract
The unfounded use of chiral pesticides has caused widespread concern. In this study, the enantioselective effects of S- and racemic (Rac)-metolachlor on the oxidative stress of wheat seedlings was determined based on physiological and gene transcription differences. Growth inhibition increased with increasing concentrations of tested metolachlor, and S-metolachlor had a stronger inhibitory effect than did Rac-metolachlor. Root growth was also significantly inhibited, but no enantioselective effects from the tested concentrations of the metolachlor enantiomers were observed. At a concentration of 5 mg L-1, the maximal fresh weight inhibition reached 63.7% and 53.8% for S-metolachlor and Rac-metolachlor, respectively. In response to the S-metolachlor treatment, the maximum level of superoxide anions and malondialdehyde (MDA) increased to 1.73 and 2.55 times that in response to the control treatment, both of which were greater than those in response to the Rac-metolachlor treatment. The activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) also increased in response to the S-metolachlor treatment, but the activity of peroxidase (POD) decreased. Real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) revealed that, compared with the Rac-metolachlor treatment, the S-metolachlor treatment attenuated the expression of several antioxidant genes. Together, these results demonstrate that S-metolachlor has a greater effect than does Rac-metolachlor on wheat seedlings.

We explain the nature of calix[n]arenes and as their recognized properties are used to detect compounds of toxicological interest, mainly the most important pesticide families such as organophosphorated, organochlorine compounds, pyrethroid insecticides, carbamate fungicides, and herbicides, using different techniques. In addition, we show the role of the macrocycle and its interactions, and the advantage of using this type of compound for improving conventional techniques, where the phenomenon of recognition is very important, such as chromatography, solid-phased extraction, and the development of specific sensors, among others and Even we also show the use of this macrocycle for detoxication procedures in vivo. In this way, we display as the multiple possibilities of functionalization of the calix[n]arenes makes these versatile molecules in the phenomena of specific recognition. Finally, This review highlights the main analytical methods reported in the literature for determination of plaguicides by host-guest interaction with calixarenes. In this way, among the available analytical tools, chromatographic, and electrochemical-based methods are the most used techniques for the detection and to quantify plaguicides using calixarenes.

Abstract
Herbicide wastes from agriculture areas can contaminate water resources and affect non-target organisms. Since herbicides reach groundwater and rivers, these residues can damage the aquatic ecosystem. Hexazinone is an herbicide widely used in sugarcane cultivation and has a potential to contaminate water resources. Therefore, studies are necessary to know the possible damages of this herbicide on aquatic organisms, as well as the behavior of this pesticide in those systems. In this study, our objective was to evaluate the sensitivity of the macrophytes Pistia stratiotes and Eichhornia crassipes to hexazinone, as well as the dissipation of these pesticides. The variables intoxication, fresh matter accumulation, and leaf anatomy were used to evaluate the sensitivity of the macrophytes to hexazinone. The hexazinone concentration in water was performed by HPLC-MS. Hexazinone concentrations equivalent to 111 and 333 μg L-1 were toxic to the macrophytes. Pistia stratiotes produced less fresh matter production than Eichhornia crassipes when exposed to the hexazinone. The hexazinone application did not change the adaxial epidermic (EAD), abaxial epidermic (EAB), palisade parenchyma (PP), aerenchyma (AER) and leaf blade (LAF) of Pistia stratiotes at any concentration tested. Concentrations equivalent to 333 μg L-1 changed the PP and LAF of Eichhornia crassipes. The presence of this herbicide in water negatively affects the fresh matter accumulation and leaf structure of the Pistia stratiotes and Eichhornia crassipes, respectively. The presence of these macrophytes delayed the dissipation of hexazinone due to them impair other pathways of degradation of this herbicide in aquatic environments. The presence of this herbicide in water negatively affects the growth and development of the Pistia stratiotes and Eichhornia crassipes.

Abstract
The enantioselective toxic mechanisms of chiral herbicides in photosynthetic organisms are closely related to the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, however, there are few reports on how the enantioselective production of ROS can be triggered. In suboptimal conditions, photosynthesis is one of the most important processes in the production of ROS, especially in the process of light utilization and electron transfer. In this study, we investigated the interactions between chiral herbicide dichlorprop (DCPP) enantiomers and the chiral macroaggregates of the photosynthetic light-harvesting chlorophyll a/b pigment-protein complexes (LHCII) in Scenedesmus obliquus, which is of great significance in capturing and utilizing sun light, and also in dissipating the excess excitation energy. The results of the circular dichroism indicated that DCPP induced the structural changes of the LHCII chiral macroaggregates in an enantioselective manner and that the (R)-DCPP treated-group showed a bigger change accompanied by a changed enantioselective dissipation of the excitation energy. The excitation energy was excessed in DCPP treated-groups and the degree of excess was enantioselective and the detrimental non-chemical energy triggered the enantioselective production of ROS, that induced the enantioselective toxicity to green algae S. obliquus. Overall, this study has identified that how the enantioselective production of ROS can be triggered in chloroplasts; this can help to reveal the enantioselective mechanisms of chiral herbicides to photosynthetic organisms.

Abstract
The stereoselective environmental behaviour of carfentrazone-ethyl and its metabolite carfentrazone enantiomer in three types of soil were studied under aerobic conditions. Under aerobic conditions, significant stereoselective difference in the degradation behaviour of carfentrazone-ethyl and its metabolite carfentrazone enantiomer was observed in Jiangxi red soil, Jilin black soil and Anhui paddy soil. The EF values of the carfentrazone-ethyl enantiomers in Anhui paddy soil, Jilin black soil, and Jiangxi red soil were 0.67, 0.65 and 0.57, respectively. The EF values of the carfentrazone enantiomer in the three types of soil were 0.75, 0.80 and 0.76. No bidirectional chiral inversion of enantiopure carfentrazone-ethyl and carfentrazone enantiomers was observed in Jilin soil. As a result, R-(+)-carfentrazone-ethyl and S-(+)-carfentrazone in soil would be preferentially degraded, while S-(-)-carfentrazone-ethyl and R-(-)-carfentrazone were enriched. The results found in this paper could provide more scientific guidance for the risk assessments of carfentrazone-ethyl from a chiral perspective.

Abstract
Paichongding (IPP) is a neonicotinoid chiral insecticide with independent intellectual property in China. IPP application can increase crop yield, and also lead to insecticide residue and pollution in soils, which will affect microbial population and community composition in soils. In this study, four different types of soils were employed to inquire into the impact of IPP on eukaryal community and species-group through pyrosequencing of 18S rRNA gene amplicons. Fungal population differed in different soils at different days after IPP treatment (DAT). Eukaryal community species in CK (control check) groups were more rich than that with Paichongding sprayed at 5 DAT, while eukaryal species in CK soils at 60 DAT was relatively slight. Shannon's H' analysis indicated fungal species in CK soils were also higher at 5 DAT and relative lower at 60 DAT, except in soil C. There are also differences in the phyla and genus levels of the eukaryotic communities in the soil. After IPP application, the relative abundance of Nectriaceae increased 3-4 times in soil C. In soil F, Phaeosphaeriaceae increased to 57.3% at 5 DAT. The genus of Guehomyces, Aspergillus and Alternaria increased from 3.1 to 9.7, 1.1 to 4.6, 1.5 to 6.7% in soil H, respectively.

Abstract
Graphene (GN) and graphene oxides (GOs) are novel carbon nanomaterial; they have been attracting much attention because of their excellent properties and are widely applied in many areas, including energy, electronics, biomedicine, environmental science, etc. With industrial production and consumption of GN/GO, they will inevitably enter the soil and water environments. GN/GO may directly cause certain harm to microorganisms and lead to ecological and environmental risks. GOs are GN derivatives with abundant oxygen-containing functional groups in their graphitic backbone. The structure and chemistry of GN show obvious differences compared to those of GO, which lead to the different environmental behaviors. In this study, four different types of soil (S1-S4) were employed to investigate the effect of GN and GO on soil enzymatic activity, microbial population, and bacterial community through pyrosequencing of 16S rRNA gene amplicons. The results showed that soil enzyme activity (invertase, protease, catalase, and urease) and microbial population (bacteria, actinomycetes, and fungi) changed after GN/GO release into soils. Soil microbial community species are more rich, and the diversity also increases after GO/GN application. The phylum of Proteobacteria increased at 90 days after treatment (DAT) after GN/GO application. The phylum of Chloroflexi occurred after GN application at 90 DAT in S1 soil and reached 4.6%. Proteobacteria was the most abundant phylum in S2, S3, and S4 soils; it ranged from 43.6 to 71.4% in S2 soil, from 45.6 to 73.7% in S3 soil, and from 38.1 to 56.7% in S4 soil. The most abundant genera were Bacillus (37.5-47.0%) and Lactococcus (28.0-39.0%) in S1 soil, Lysobacter and Flavobacterium in S2 soil, Pedobacter in S3 soil, and Massilia in S4 soil. The effect of GN and GO on the soil microbial community is time-dependent, and there are no significant differences between the samples at 10 and 90 DAT.
