Abstract
An investigation was carried out on humic substances (HSs) isolated from the coal of the Kansk-Achinsk basin (Krasnoyarsk Territory, Russia). The coal HSs demonstrate the main parameters of molecular structure inherent to this class of natural compounds. An assessment was performed for the chemical, microbiological, and pharmacological safety parameters, as well as the biological efficacy. The HS sample meets the safety requirements in microbiological purity, toxic metals content (lead, cadmium, mercury, arsenic), and radionuclides. The presence of 11 essential elements was determined. The absence of general, systemic toxicity, cytotoxicity, and allergenic properties was demonstrated. The coal HS sample was classified as a Class V hazard (low danger substances). High antioxidant and antiradical activities and immunotropic and cytoprotective properties were identified. The ability of the HS to inhibit hydroxyl radicals and superoxide anion radicals was revealed. Pronounced actoprotective and nootropic activities were also demonstrated in vivo. Intragastric administration of the HS sample resulted in the improvement of physical parameters in mice as assessed by the "swim exhaustion" test. Furthermore, intragastric administration in mice with cholinergic dysfunction led to a higher ability of animals with scopolamine-induced amnesia to form conditioned reflexes. These findings suggest that the studied HS sample is a safe and effective natural substance, making it suitable for use as a dietary bioactive supplement.

Abstract
In the context of the anaerobic ammonium oxidation process (anammox), great scientific advances have been made over the past two decades, making anammox a consolidated technology widely used worldwide for nitrogen removal from wastewaters. This review provides a detailed and comprehensive description of the anammox process, the microorganisms involved and their metabolism. In addition, recent research on the application of the anammox process with alternative electron acceptors is described, highlighting the biochemical reactions involved, its advantages and potential applications for specific wastewaters. An updated description is also given of studies reporting the ability of microorganisms to couple the anammox process to extracellular electron transfer to insoluble electron acceptors; particularly iron, carbon-based materials and electrodes in bioelectrochemical systems (BES). The latter, also referred to as anodic anammox, is a promising strategy to combine the ammonium removal from wastewater with bioelectricity production, which is discussed here in terms of its efficiency, economic feasibility, and energetic aspects. Therefore, the information provided in this review is relevant for future applications.

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2021; 18:ijerph18136807. [PMID: 34202887 PMCID: PMC8297103 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph18136807] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/02/2021] [Revised: 06/20/2021] [Accepted: 06/21/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
Redox-active humic acids (HA) are ubiquitous in terrestrial and aquatic systems and are involved in numerous electron transfer reactions affecting biogeochemical processes and fates of pollutants in soil environments. Redox-active contaminants are trapped in soil micropores (<2 nm) that have limited access to microbes and HA. Therefore, the contaminants whose molecular structure and properties are not damaged accumulate in the soil micropores and become potential pollution sources. Electron transfer capacities (ETC) of HA reflecting redox activities of low molecular weight fraction (LMWF, <2.5) HA can be detected by an electrochemical method, which is related to redox potentials (Eh) in soil and aquatic environments. Nevertheless, electron accepting capacities (EAC) and electron donating capacities (EDC) of these LMWF HA at different Eh are still unknown. EDC and EAC of different molecular weight HA at different Eh were analyzed using electrochemical methods. EAC of LMWF at -0.59 V was 12 times higher than that at -0.49 V, while EAC increased to 2.6 times when the Eh decreased from -0.59 V to -0.69 V. Afterward, LMWF can act as a shuttle to stimulate microbial Fe(III) reduction processes in microbial reduction experiments. Additionally, EAC by electrochemical analysis at a range of -0.49--0.59 V was comparable to total calculated ETC of different molecular weight fractions of HA by microbial reduction. Therefore, it is indicated that redox-active functional groups that can be reduced at Eh range of -0.49--0.59 are available to microbial reduction. This finding contributes to a novel perspective in the protection and remediation of the groundwater environment in the biogeochemistry process.
