[PMID: 38917562 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2024.140123] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/24/2024] [Revised: 05/17/2024] [Accepted: 06/13/2024] [Indexed: 06/27/2024]
Abstract
A magnetic biochar nanomaterial derived from fungal hyphae was introduced into the sample preparation field. The magnetic fungal hyphae-derived biomass carbon (MFHBC) could be produced by a controllable hydrothermal method. In order to obtain the best sorbent for magnetic solid-phase extraction (MSPE), the reaction conditions containing temperature, time and the consumption of fungal hyphae were investigated. A series of MFHBC materials were characterized by vibrating sample magnetometers, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. A material with a satisfactory saturation magnetization (21.58 emu g-1) and largest surface area (88.06 m2 g-1) was selected as the sorbent to extract ten typical organochlorine pesticides (OCPs). The extraction conditions were optimized as 20 mL of sample solution with 70 mg of sorbent and 2.0 g of NaCl oscillated at 50 °C for 5.0 min. And the optimum desorption was performed by oscillating sorbent in 1.0 mL acetonitrile for 5.0 min. Then, the MFHBC-based MSPE-GC-MS/MS methods were established for different samples including water samples, tea beverages, and Chinese traditional medicines. The linearities were 10-2500 ng L-1 or 100-25,000 ng kg-1, and the limits of detection were 0.3-13.9 ng L-1 for water sample, 0.1-9.7 ng L-1 for tea beverage samples, 0.1-21.4 ng L-1 for Shenqi Fuzheng injection samples, and 7.2-278.3 ng kg-1 for Astragali Radix decoction pieces. Except for satisfactory repeatability (RSDs ≤13.8%) in intra-day and inter-day tests (n = 3), the reproducibility (RSDs ≤13.5%, n = 3) of MFHBC was acceptable. The methods were applied in the determination of OCPs from above real samples, with the recoveries of 80.5-117.2% and the RSDs (n = 3) <8.9%. The methods were suitable in the sensitive determination of OCPs from simple to complex matrix samples.

Abstract
2D transition metal carbides and carbonitrides (MXenes) have emerged as promising electrode materials for electrochemistry ion capture but always suffer from severe layer-restacking and irreversible oxidation that restrains their electrochemical performance. Here we design a dual strategy of microstructure tailoring and heterostructure construction to synthesize a unique 3D grape string-like heterostructure consisting of Ti3C2Tx MXene hollow microspheres wrapped by fungi-derived N-doping carbon nanoribbons (denoted as GMNC). The 3D grape string-like heterostructure effectively avoids the aggregation of Ti3C2Tx MXene sheets and enhances the stability of MXenes, providing abundant active sites for ion capture, and an interconnected conductive bionic nanofiber network for high-rate electron transport. In consequence, GMNC achieves a superior adsorption capacity for sodium ions (Na+) in capacitive deionization (CDI) (162.37 mg gNaCl-1) with an ultra-high instantaneous adsorption rate (30.52 mg g-1 min-1) at an applied voltage of 1.6 V and satisfactory cycle stability over 100 cycles, which is a strong performer among the state-of-the-art values for MXene-based CDI electrodes. In addition, in situ electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring (EQCM-D) measurement combined with density functional theory (DFT) reveals the mechanisms of the Na+ capture process in the GMNC heterostructure. This work opens a new avenue for designing high-performance MXenes with a 3D hierarchical heterostructure for advanced electrochemical applications.

Abstract
Fungi are microorganisms of significant biotechnological importance due to their ability to provide food and produce several value-added secondary metabolites and enzymes. Its products move billions of dollars in the pharmaceutical, cosmetics, and additives sectors. These microorganisms also play a notable role in bionanotechnology, leading to the production of hybrid biological-inorganic materials (such as cyborg cells) and the use of their enzyme complex in the biosynthesis of nanoparticles. In this sense, optimizing the fungal growth process is necessary, with selecting the cultivation medium as one of the essential factors for the microorganism to reach its maximum metabolic expression. The culture medium's composition can also impact the nanomaterial's stability and prevent the incorporation of nanoparticles into fungal cells. Therefore, our main objectives are the following: (1) compile and discuss the most commonly employed culture media for the production of fungal secondary metabolites and the formation of cyborg cells, accompanied by preparation methods; (2) provide a six-step guide to investigating the fungal metabolomic profile and (3) discuss the main procedures of microbial cultivation to produce fungal cyborg cells.

Abstract
The self-assembly of nanoparticles on living bio-templates is a promising synthetic methodology adopted for synthesizing nano/microstructures with high efficiency. Therefore, the method of bio-templating offers various advantages in controlling the geometries of nano/microstructures, thereby increasing the efficiency of the synthesized material towards various functional applications. Herein, we utilized a filamentous fungus (Sclerotium rolfsii) as a soft bio-template to generate silver nanoparticle (AgNP) microtubules adhering to the fungal hyphae. The resulting composite combines the unique properties of silver nanoparticles with the biological activity of the fungi. The 3D fungal hyphae–silver nanoparticle (FH-AgNP) composite was characterized using SEM, elemental analysis, and the X-ray diffraction technique. Additionally, to highlight the functional application of the synthesized composite, dye degradation studies of methylene blue under visible light was effectuated, and a percentage degradation of 67.86% was obtained within 60 min, which highlights the potent catalytic activity of FH-AgNPs in dye degradation. Further, the antibacterial study of the composite was carried out against the bacterium Escherichia coli, and it was found that 200 μg of the composite exhibited maximum antibacterial properties against Gram positive (Staphylococcus aureus) and Gram negative (Escherichia coli) bacteria. Overall, fungi-templated silver nanoparticle composites are a promising area of research due to their combination of biological activity and unique physical and chemical properties.

Abstract
Sorption and biodegradation are two major applicable techniques for organic pollutants removal. However, the desorption risk following the sorption process and the low bioavailability of trace pollutants to microbes are still hindering the efficient removal of pollutants. To take full advantages of both sorption (for contaminant accumulation) and microbial degradation, here we introduce a self-assembly method combining carbonaceous sorbents (i.e., biochars: RS350, RS500, and RS700) with fungal hyphae (Phanerochaete chrysosporium) which can efficiently degrade phenanthrene (PHE), one of the typical polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. By cultivating Phanerochaete chrysosporium in biochar-containing medium, fungus-biochar composite pellets (FBPs) were successfully synthesized with a 3D macrostructure of abundant hyphae and uniform pellet size (~2.5 mm in diameter). Benefiting from the high sorption ability of biochars, such FBPs showed up to triple sorption ability and 70 folds faster biodegradation rate than pure fungal pellets. The PHE concentration remaining in solution receiving co-sorption-degradation treatment after 22 d was only one third of that receiving sorption treatment alone. Continuous removal experiment indicated that these composite pellets could hold their removal ability of above 90 % in the first 4 cycles. This study points out a simple and promising self-assembly approach that could be easily scaled up to manufacture FBPs with high removal efficiency, fast biodegradation rate, easy separation ability and long-term stability.

Abstract
In this paper, two biosystems based on filamentous fungi and Pd nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized and structurally characterized. In the first case, results concerning the integration and distribution of Pd-NPs on Phialomyces macrosporus revealed that nanoparticles are accumulated on the cell wall, keeping the cytoplasm isolated from abiotic particles. However, the Penicillium sp. species showed an unexpected internalization of Pd-NPs in the fungal cytosol, becoming a promising biosystem to further studies of in vivo catalytic reactions. Next, we report a new solution-based strategy to prepare palladized biohybrids through sequential reduction of Pd2+ ions over previously harvested fungus/Au-NP composites. The chemical composition and the morphology of the biohybrid surface were characterized using a combination of scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and photoelectron spectroscopy. The deposition of Pd0 over the fungal surface produced biohybrids with a combination of Au and Pd in the NPs. Interestingly, other chemical species such as Au+ and Pd2+ are also observed on the outermost wall of microorganisms. Finally, the application of A. niger/AuPd-NP biohybrids in the 3-methyl-2-buten-1-ol hydrogenation reaction is presented for the first time. Biohybrids with a high fraction of Pd0 are active for this catalytic reaction.

Abstract
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) have been known for decades to threaten human health. Various physical, chemical and biological methods have been developed to remove PAHs from different matrices. Microbial biodegradation processes are thought to be effective and environmentally friendly, but the low bioavailability of PAHs and their slow removal rate often limit the application of biodegradation. In this study, novel self-assembled PAH-degrading fungal mycelium (Penicillium oxalicum SYJ-1)-carbon nanotube (CNT) composites were applied for pyrene removal. The addition of CNTs did not affect the growth of strain SYJ-1 and promoted the total PAH removal efficiency. The composite could completely remove pyrene at 20 mg L-1 within 48 h, while the sole fungus and CNTs alone could only remove 72% and 80% of pyrene at 72 h, respectively. A cytochrome P450 inhibition experiment, together with degradation product identification and transcriptomic analysis, suggested that an intracellular PAH transformation pathway was employed by strain SYJ-1. The versatility of this assembly approach was also confirmed by adding different nanomaterials and using them to remove different pollutants. This study provides a strategy of coupling the chemical adsorption and biodegradation capacity of inorganic nanomaterials and microorganisms as composites to treat hydrophobic substrates in restricted bioreactor.

Abstract
The photocatalysts for hexavalent uranium (U(VI)) reduction suffered from the low uranium uptake capacity and weak long-wavelength light absorption. Herein, we synthesized the CdSxTe1-x nanobelts capped by ethylenediamine (EDA), which provided amino groups as the adsorption sites. With the increase of the Te content, the amino groups on the CdSxTe1-x nanobelts decreased because of the variation of the electron density of Cd2+, whereas the light adsorption was enhanced due to the narrowed bandgap. In photocatalytic reduction of U(VI), the CdS0.95Te0.05-EDA nanobelts exhibited a considerable U(VI) removal ratio of 97.4% with a remarkable equilibrium U(VI) extraction amount on per weight unit of the adsorbent (qe) of 836 mg/g. The bandgap structure and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) spectra analysis revealed that the optimum photocatalytic activity of CdSxTe1-x nanobelts was achieved at a 5% of Te2- doping, which balanced the factors of amino groups and bandgap. This adsorption-photoreduction process offers an ultrahigh uranium extraction capacity over wide uranium concentrations.

Abstract
Visible light degradation is a green and economic technology for sewage treatment receiving widespread attention. Here, the filamentous fungus Phomopsis sp. XP-8 was developed as a bioreactor to successively biosynthesize Cd0.5Zn0.5S quantum dots and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) in situ and formed heterogeneous Au/Cd0.5Zn0.5S nano-photocatalyst inside cells. This strategy synchronously mediates the microscopic and macroscopic assembly of zero-dimensional materials by microorganisms. The heterogeneous catalyst functionalized composite mycelium pellets (CMP) not only have excellent visible light degradation activity but some unique characteristics. The outstanding organic dye biosorption capacity of CMP increases the contact rate between organic dyes and nano-catalysts, improving catalytic activity. High mechanical strength makes CMP easy to separate and recycle, which overcomes the difficulty of nano-catalyst recovery after use and avoids creating secondary pollution to the environment. This study not only broadens the means of heterogeneous nano-catalyst synthesis but also provides a new perspective on the macroscopic assembly of nanomaterials.

CHEMOSPHERE 2021; 266:128960.

Abstract
Here, the bio-nanocomposite (n-HFP + n-HFS)@An was developed to simultaneously immobilize Pb, Cd and As in the severely contaminated soil. The immobilization rates of diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA)/decarbonate-extracted bioavailable Pb, Cd and As were 59.87%, 31.28% and 62.30%, and the immobilization rates of their water-soluble forms were 63.12%, 60.02% and 89.39%, respectively. Moreover, the ten-year acid rain simulated leaching assay showed that the maximum cumulative release contents of Pb, Cd and As in the treated soil samples were decreased by 2.94, 2.46 and 40.60 times, comparing to the un-treated ones. Additionally, the results of SBRC (Solubility Bioaccessibility Research Consortium) revealed that the bioaccessible rates of the three metals in intestinal phase were lower than in gastric phase, and both of them decreased with increasing the immobilization time. The gastric bioaccessibility of Pb, Cd and As had a higher correlation with the contents of water-soluble forms, while the intestinal bioaccessibility was more strongly positively associated with the bioavailable forms.

Abstract
Carbon nanotube (CNT)-based materials have attracted tremendous interest for their high performance in oil separation. However, the preparation of CNT based materials always require harmful and expensive chemicals. Here, a biological assembly route was applied to assemble CNTs onto a fungal hyphae (FH) to produce FH/CNTs composites, followed by pyrolysis to obtain a hydrophobic CNT based aerogel for oil separation, which is a more environmentally friendly process. The as-prepared FH/CNTs-800 aerogel (pyrolyzed at 800 °C) showed hydrophobicity with a water contact angle of 143° and high specific surface area (1041.2 m2 g-1). The oil absorption results showed that the as-prepared FH/CNTs aerogels could absorb a wide range of oils with high absorption capacities ranging from 48 to 138 times their own weight. Furthermore, the oil-loaded aerogel was recycled through burning with little reduction in the oil absorption capacity. In addition, FH/CNTs-800 provided a high specific capacitance of 232 F g-1 at 1 A g-1 and maintained a capacity retention of 70.62% at 20 A g-1. Therefore, this study offers a simple, low-cost and environmentally friendly bioassembly route for large-scale assembly of CNTs into macroscopic 3D hydrophobic aerogels for highly efficient water-oil separation.

Abstract
We show that filamentous fungi can emit green or red light after the accumulation of particulate lanthanide metal-organic frameworks over the cell wall. These new biohybrids present photoluminescence properties that are unaffected by the components of the cell wall. In addition, the fungal cells internalise lanthanide metal-organic framework particles, storing them into organelles, thereby making these materials promising for applications in living imaging studies.

Abstract
To develop an efficient, convenient and cost-effective method to simultaneously remove pollution of As(III), Cd(II) and Pb(II) in wastewater, a strategy to fabricate hybrid bio-nanocomposites ((n-HFP + n-HFS)@An) of nano hydroxy ferric phosphate (n-HFP) and hydroxy ferric sulfate (n-HFS) particles coating on Aspergillus niger was applied. The scanning electron microscope and energy dispersive spectrum analyses showed that (n-HFP + n-HFS)@An composites had been successfully developed which well solved the self-agglomeration problem of the nano particles. Comparing to the bulk nanoparticles, the adsorption rates of the (n-HFP + n-HFS)@An composites for the three metals were promoted 145.34, 28.98 and 25.18% and reached 76.84, 73.62 and 94.31%, respectively. Similarly, the adsorption capacities for As(III), Cd(II), and Pb(II) were 162.00, 205.83 and 730.79 mg/g, respectively. Moreover, the pseudo-second-order kinetic model was more relevant to the adsorption on the three metals by (n-HFP + n-HFS)@An, and adsorbing As(III) was fitted to the Freundlich isotherm model, while the adsorption on Cd(II) or Pb(II) was related to the Langmuir isotherm model. In addition, the adsorption of Cd(II) and Pb(II) was associated with transformation of hydroxyl groups and precipitation with phosphate. As(III) was adsorbed through exchange between AsO2- and SO42- in the (n-HFP + n-HFS)@An composites.

Abstract
Gold nanostructures that can be synthetically articulated to adapt diverse morphologies, offer a versatile platform and tunable properties for applications in a variety of areas, including biomedicine and diagnostics. Among several conformational architectures, gold nanoshells provide a highly advantageous combination of properties that can be fine-tuned in designing single or multi-purpose nanomaterials, especially for applications in biology. One of the important parameters for evaluating the efficacy of gold nano-architectures is their reproducible synthesis and surface functionalization with desired moieties. A variety of methods now exist that allow fabrication and chemical manipulation of their structure and resulting properties. This review article provides an overview and a discussion of synthetic methodologies to a diverse range of gold nanoshells, and a brief summary of surface functionalization and characterization methods employed to evaluate their overall composition.

Abstract
During the last decade, hydrogels have been used as potential adsorbents for removal of contaminants from aqueous solution. To improve the adsorption efficiency, there are numerous different particles that can be chosen to encapsulate into hydrogels and each particle has their respective advantages. Depending on the type of pollutants and approaching method, the particles will be used to prepare hydrogels. The hydrogels commonly applied in water/wastewater treatment was mainly classified into three classes according to their shape included hydrogel beads, hydrogel films, and hydrogel nanocomposites. In review of many recently research papers, we take a closer look at hydrogels and their applications for removal of contaminants, such as heavy metal ion, dyes, and radionuclides from water/wastewater in order to elucidate the reactions between contaminants and particles and potential for recycling and regeneration of the post-treatment hydrogels.

Abstract
Self-aggregation of bulk nano-hydroxyapatites (n-HAPs) undermines their immobilization efficiencies of heavy metals in the contaminated soils. Here, the low-cost, easily obtained, and environment-friendly filamentous fungi have been introduced for the bio-matrices of the hybrid bio-nanocomposites to potentially solve such problem of n-HAPs. According to SEM, TEM, XRD, and FT-IR analyses, n-HAPs were successfully coated onto the fungal hyphae and their self-aggregation was improved. The immobilization efficiencies of diethylene-triamine-pentaacetic acid (DTPA)-extractable Cd and Pb in the contaminated soils by the bio-nanocomposites were individually one to four times of that by n-HAPs or the fungal hyphae. Moreover, the Aspergillus niger-based bio-nanocomposite (ANHP) was superior to the Penicillium Chrysogenum F1-based bio-nanocomposite (PCHP) in immobilization of Cd and Pb in the contaminated soils. In addition, the results of XRD showed that one of the potential mechanisms of metal immobilization by the hybrid bio-nanocomposites was dissolution of n-HAPs followed by precipitation of new metal phosphate minerals. Our results suggest that the hybrid bio-nanocomposite (ANHP) can be recognized as a promising soil amendment candidate for effective remediation on the soils simultaneously contaminated by Cd and Pb.

Abstract
Highly flexible and porous films with the ability to load various nanoscale adsorbents are of particular importance in the purification field. Herein, we report the sustainable and large-scale fabrication of a porous and flexible hybrid film based on the graphene oxide/hyphae interaction at a relatively low temperature of 130 °C. Under identical conditions, such films cannot be constructed with solely graphene oxide or hyphae. Moreover, through the addition of nanoscale building blocks [e.g., nanoscale poly(m-phenylenediamine) (PmPD) adsorbents] in the interaction process, the nanoparticles can be in situ loaded into the film. According to FTIR and XPS analyses, the film formation mechanisms mainly involve redox and cross-linking reactions between graphene oxide and fungus hyphae. In a proof-of-concept study, a PmPD nanoparticle-loaded hybrid film was used as a superior key component to build a flow-through adsorption device that displayed a promising adsorption performance toward dye pollutants.
