Abstract
Rapid and quantitative detection of malachite green (MG) in aquaculture products is very important for safety assurance in food supply. Here, we develop a point-of-care testing (POCT) platform that combines a flexible and transparent surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrate with deep learning network for achieving rapid and quantitative detection of MG in fish. The flexible and transparent SERS substrate was prepared by depositing silver (Ag) film on the polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) film using laser molecular beam epitaxy (LMBE) technique. The wrinkled Ag NPs@PDMS film exhibits high SERS activity, excellent reproducibility and good mechanical stability. Additionally, the fast in situ detection of MG residues onfishscales was achieved by using the wrinkled Ag NPs/PDMS film and a portable Raman spectrometer, with a minimum detectable concentration of 10-6 M. Subsequently, a one-dimensional convolutional neural network (1D CNN) model was constructed for rapid quantification of MG concentration. The results demonstrated that the 1D CNN quantitative analysis model possessed superior predictive performance, with a coefficient of determination (R2) of 0.9947 and a mean squared error (MSE) of 0.0104. The proposed POCT platform, integrating a transparent flexible SERS substrate, a portable Raman spectrometer and a 1D CNN model, provides an efficient strategy for rapid identification and quantitative analysis of MG in fish.

Abstract
Malachite green (MG), a widely used antiparasitic agent, poses health risks to human due to its genotoxic and carcinogenic properties. Herein, a stable dual-emission fluoroprobe of carbon dots/copper nanoclusters is prepared for highly selective detection of MG based on the inner filter effect. This probe exhibits characteristic emission bands at 435 and 625 nm when excited at 376 nm. After adding MG, the both emission signals were significantly quenched, and the ratio of fluorescence intensity (F435/F625) was linearly related to the concentration of MG in the range of 0.05-40 μmol L-1 with a limit of detection of 18.2 nmol L-1. Meanwhile, the two signals exhibit linear relationships with the concentration of MG, respectively, and the corresponding detection results were consistent. The fluoroprobe was successfully used for the detection of MG in fish samples with the recoveries ranging from 96.0% to 103.8% and a relative standard deviation of <3.3%.

Abstract
This research introduces a novel approach using silver (Ag) nanostructures generated through electrochemical deposition and photo-reduction of Ag on fluorine-doped tin oxide glass substrates (denoted as X-Ag-AgyFTO, where 'X' and 'y' represent the type of light source and number of deposited cycles, respectively) for surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). This study used malachite green (MG) as a Raman probe to evaluate the enhancement factors (EFs) in SERS-active substrates under varied fabrication conditions. For the substrates produced via electrochemical deposition, we determined a Raman EF of 6.15 × 104 for the Ag2FTO substrate. In photo-reduction, the impact of reductant concentration, light source, and light exposure duration were examined on X-Ag nanoparticle formation to achieve superior Raman EFs. Under optimal conditions (9.0 mM sodium citrate, 460 nm blue-LED at 10 W for 90 min), the combination of blue-LED-reduced Ag (B-Ag) and an Ag2FTO substrate (denoted as B-Ag-Ag2FTO) exhibited the best Raman EF of 2.79 × 105. This substrate enabled MG detection within a linear range of 0.1 to 1.0 µM (R2 = 0.98) and a detection limit of 0.02 µM. Additionally, the spiked recoveries in aquaculture water samples were between 90.0% and 110.0%, with relative standard deviations between 3.9% and 6.3%, indicating the substrate's potential for fungicide detection in aquaculture.

Abstract
Recently, transparent and flexible surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrates have received great interest for direct point-of-care detection of analytes on irregular nonplanar surfaces. In this study, we proposed a simple cost-effective strategy to develop a flexible SERS patch utilizing multibranched sharp spiked gold nanostars (GNS) decorated on a commercially available adhesive Scotch Tape for achieving ultra-high SERS sensitivity. The experimental SERS measurements were correlated with theoretical finite element modeling (FEM), which indicates that the GNS having a 2.5 nm branch tip diameter (GNS-4) exhibits the strongest SERS enhancement. Using rhodamine 6G (R6G) as a model analyte, the SERS performance of the flexible SERS patch exhibited a minimum detection limit of R6G as low as 1 pM. The enhancement factor of the SERS patch with GNS-4 was calculated as 6.2 × 108, which indicates that our flexible SERS substrate has the potential to achieve ultra-high sensitivity. The reproducibility was tested with 30 different spots showing a relative standard deviation (RSD) of SERS intensity of about 5.4%, indicating good reproducibility of the SERS platform. To illustrate the usefulness of the flexible SERS sensor patch, we investigated the detection of a carcinogenic compound crystal violet (CV) on fish scales, which is often used as an effective antifungal agent in the aquaculture industry. The results realized the trace detection of CV with the minimum detection limit as low as 1 pM. We believe that our transparent, and flexible SERS patch based on GNS-4 has potential as a versatile, low-cost platform for real-world SERS sensing applications on nonplanar surfaces.

Abstract
Photocatalytic reactions with semiconductor-based photocatalysts have been investigated extensively for application to wastewater treatment, especially dye degradation, yet the interactions between different process parameters have rarely been reported due to their complicated reaction mechanisms. Hence, this study aims to discern the impact of each factor, and each interaction between multiple factors on reaction rate constant (k) using a decision tree model. The dyes selected as target pollutants were indigo and malachite green, and 5 different semiconductor-based photocatalysts with 17 different compositions were tested, which generated 34 input features and 1527 data points. The Boruta Shapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) feature selection for the 34 inputs found that 11 inputs were significantly important. The decision tree model exhibited for 11 input features with an R2 value of 0.94. The SHAP feature importance analysis suggested that photocatalytic experimental conditions, with an importance of 59%, was the most important input category, followed by atomic composition (39%) and physicochemical properties (2%). Additionally, the effects on k of the synergy between the metal cocatalysts and important experimental conditions were confirmed by two feature SHAP dependence plots, regardless of importance order. This work provides insight into the single and multiple factors that affect reaction rate and mechanism.

Comprehensive analysis of cationic dye removal from synthetic and industrial wastewater using a semi-natural curcumin grafted biochar/poly acrylic acid composite hydrogel. RSC Adv 2024; 14:7745-7762. [PMID: 38463709 PMCID: PMC10921087 DOI: 10.1039/d3ra08521j] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/13/2023] [Accepted: 02/27/2024] [Indexed: 03/12/2024] Open
Abstract
Polymer composites offer a tailored framework as an exceptional candidate for water treatment due to their tunable chemical structure, porous 3D architecture, physiochemical stability, accessibility, pH-sensitivity and ease of use. In this study, curcumin-engineered biochar is embedded into a cross-linked polyacrylic acid hydrogel matrix using in situ polymerization for developing a semi-natural adsorbent for the removal of cationic dye from an aqueous solution. The physicochemical features of the generated composite hydrogel are significantly influenced by the implementation of curcumin-grafted biochar into the polyacrylic acid substrate. Comprehensive characteristic approaches were employed to explore all aspects of the adsorbent's properties, especially its removal efficacy. The methodical adsorption study was accomplished by monitoring dynamic factors such as pH, adsorbent content, time frame, and initial dye concentration. The presence of the porous aromatized structure of biochar, active oxygen-enrich functional groups (carboxyl, hydroxyl, keto, enol, ether) coupled with the conjugated curcumin structure facilitate the effective establishment of hydrogen bonds, electrostatic interactions, π-π interactions, electron donor-acceptor and charge-assisted H-bonding with the malachite green (MG) and rhodamine B (Rho) molecules. The highest adsorption capacities of MG and Rho reached 521 mg g-1 and 741 mg g-1 respectively, in the range of neutral pH, considering their molecular nature, functionalities, and unique adsorption mechanisms. The isothermal modeling was carried out with Henry, Langmuir, Jovanovic, Freundlich, Temkin, and Koble-Corrigan models to determine the adsorption system. Additionally, the kinetic data were assessed with Bangham, pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order, intra-particle, and liquid film diffusion models to ascertain the rate-limiting phase. The Koble-Corrigan and Langmuir isotherm models (R2 > 0.997) as well as pseudo-second-order (R2 > 0.998) and Elovich (R2 = 0.983 and 0.995) kinetics models provide a substantial level of concordance with empirical findings. The analysis of non-linear diffusion models revealed that the Bangham (R2 > 0.995) pore and liquid film diffusion (R2 > 0.960) models has major influence on the rate of the adsorption procedure. The binary adsorption test demonstrated higher efficacy of the synthesized adsorbent in the removal of malachite as compared to rhodamine. This study sheds light on the design of a cost-effective semi-natural polymeric composite for treating dye-polluted wastewaters, a major milestone toward environmental and ecological sustainability.

Abstract
Pectin-crosslinked gum ghatti hydrogel (PGH) has been synthesized utilizing pectin and gum ghatti through an uncomplicated and inexpensive copolymerization method. X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM-elemental mapping), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) characterization techniques have been employed to determine various structural, chemical and compositional characteristics of fabricated PGH. Three different weight ratios (1:1, 2:1, or 1:2 for pectin and gum ghatti, respectively) were employed to synthesize three distinct types of PGH. Swelling studies has been done to determine the best ratios for PGH fabrication. PGH has been assessed as an adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. The effects of PGH dosage (100-400 mg/L), dye concentration (10-160 mg/L), pH (2-9 pH), adsorption time (0-480 min), and temperature (25-55 °C) has been examined through batch solutions. According to Langmuir isotherm analysis, the maximum adsorption capacity is 658.1 mg/g. By using pseudo-second-order kinetics and the Freundlich adsorption isotherm, the adsorption process could be well explained. After five consecutive cycles, PGH had an adsorption percentage of 86.917 % for the malachite green dye. It is safe for the environment and may be used to remove malachite green (MG) dye from aqueous solutions.

Abstract
This article introduces a novel unlabeled surface-enhanced electrochemiluminescence (SEECL) sensor for malachite green (MG) detection. The SEECL sensor was prepared by modifying the Ru(bpy)32+ doped gold-SiO2 core-shell nanocomposites (Au@SiO2-Ru(bpy)32+) on the gold electrode. Ru(bpy)32+ of nanocomposites can not only emit electrochemiluminescence (ECL) with electrochemical reaction, but also induce the local surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) of gold core. That is beneficial to enhance the ECL signa of sensor. However, in the existence of MG, the luminescence of sensor would be quenched by the fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) between MG and Ru(bpy)32+. In this paper, both fluorescence and ECL of the Au@SiO2-Ru(bpy)32+ were investigated for MG detection. And the results show that the SEECL sensor has high sensitive to MG. Under the optimal experimental conditions, the minimum detection concentration could be achieved about 1.0 nM of MG, which fully meets the China national standard detection requirements of veterinary drug residue in seafood.

Abstract
Molecular chaperones play vital roles in various physiological reactions by regulating the folding and assembly of biomacromolecules. We have demonstrated that cationic comb-type copolymers exhibit chaperone activity for anionic biomolecules including DNA and ionic peptide via the formation of soluble interpolyelectrolyte complexes. The development of smart artificial chaperones that can be spatiotemporally controlled by a remotely guided signal would expand the functions of artificial chaperones. Herein, to enable photocontrol of chaperone activity, a cationic comb-type copolymer bearing malachite green as a photoresponsive unit was designed. We first prepared a series of carboxylic acid derivatives of malachite green identified a derivative that could be quickly and quantitatively converted to the cationic form from the nonionic form by photoirradiation. This derivative was conjugated to the cationic comb-type copolymer, poly(allylamine)-graft-poly(ethylene glycol) through a condensation reaction. Upon photoirradiation, the copolymer bearing 9 mol% malachite green enhanced the membrane disruptive activity of acidic peptide E5 and induced morphological changes in liposomes. This demonstration of photoresponsive activation of chaperoning activity of a copolymer suggests that the installation of carboxyl derivatives of malachite green will impart photoresponsiveness to various materials including biopolymers.

Abstract
Toxic compounds can induce the formation of free radicals (reactive oxygen species (ROS)) which can trigger damage and decrease cell viability. Clove (Syzygium aromaticum) contains phenolic compounds that are useful as antioxidants which can reduce ROS toxicity. However, little is known about the antitoxin activity of clove extract. Therefore, this study is aimed at determining the effect of ethanolic clove extract as an antitoxin agent against malachite green (MG) mutagen using the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a model. The methods used to analyze the ability of ethanolic clove extract as antitoxin were decolorization assay and cell viability test towards MG. The phenol contents of leaf and bud extract were 441.28 and 394.73 mg GAE g-1 extract, respectively. Clove leaf extract has strong antioxidant activity in vitro (IC50 9.29 ppm for 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 29.57 for 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS)). Liquid chromatography quadrupole-mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) analysis showed the presence of 4-O-caffeoylquinic acid and several other bioactive compounds, in which these compounds had bioactivity against toxic compound. The addition of extract reduced the ability of S. cerevisiae to decolorize malachite green but increased cell viability. Based on the data, clove leaf extract shows the potential antitoxin activity. This research should facilitate a preliminary study to investigate the antitoxin agent derived from cloves leaf extract. Further research to analyze the antitoxin mechanism of this extract in yeast model is interesting to do to provide a comprehensive insight into the potential antitoxin agents of clove leaf extract.

Enhanced Photocatalytic Degradation of Malachite Green Dye Using Silver-Manganese Oxide Nanoparticles. Molecules 2023; 28:6241. [PMID: 37687068 PMCID: PMC10488963 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28176241] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/30/2023] [Revised: 08/19/2023] [Accepted: 08/19/2023] [Indexed: 09/10/2023] Open
Abstract
Efficient and excellent nanoparticles are required for the degradation of organic dyes in photocatalysis. In this study, silver-manganese oxide nanoparticles (Ag-Mn-NPs) were synthesized through a wet chemical precipitation method and characterized as an advanced catalyst that has enhanced photocatalytic activity under sunlight irradiation. The nanoparticles were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), XRD, UV-vis light spectra, and energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy, revealing their spherical and agglomerated form. The EDX spectra confirmed the composition of the nanoparticles, indicating their presence in oxide form. These bimetallic oxide nanoparticles were employed as photocatalysts for the degradation of malachite green (MG) dye under sunlight irradiation in an aqueous medium. The study investigated the effects of various parameters, such as irradiation time, catalyst dosage, recovered catalyst dosage, dye concentration, and pH, on the dye's photodegradation. The results showed that Ag-Mn oxide nanoparticles exhibited high photocatalytic activity, degrading 92% of the dye in 100 min. A longer irradiation time led to increased dye degradation. Moreover, a higher catalyst dosage resulted in a higher dye degradation percentage, with 91% degradation achieved using 0.0017 g of the photocatalyst in 60 min. Increasing the pH of the medium also enhanced the dye degradation, with 99% degradation achieved at pH 10 in 60 min. However, the photodegradation rate decreased with increasing dye concentration. The Ag-Mn oxide nanoparticles demonstrate excellent potential as a reliable visible-light-responsive photocatalyst for the efficient degradation of organic pollutants in wastewater treatment.

Abstract
The dyes methylene blue and malachite green were adsorbed onto the as-prepared and chemically-modified biosorbents obtained from the mesocarp of crushed calabash (Lagenaria siceraria). The aim was to investigate the adsorption capacity of the natural biosorbent, neutralized biosorbent (0.1 mol L-1 NaOH, followed by 0.1 mol L-1 HCl), acid biosorbent (0.1 mol L-1 HCl) and basic biosorbent (0.1 mol L-1 NaOH). The maximum adsorption capacities for methylene blue were, in ascending order: 11.37 mg g-1 for acid biomass < 11.87 mg g-1 for basic biomass < 16.55 mg g-1 for neutralized biomass < 18.83 mg g-1 for natural biomass. In ascending order, for malachite green the maximum adsorption capacities were: 12.80 mg g-1 for basic biomass < 13.31 mg g-1 for acid biomass < 18.74 mg g-1 for natural biomass < 19.67 mg g-1 for neutralized biomass. A comparison of the thermodynamic parameters Gibbs free energy, enthalpy and entropy obtained for the natural biosorbent with those obtained for the chemically-modified biosorbents indicated that the chemical modification proposed led to a change in the materials. The removal capacity, the Freundlich isotherms and the pH of the biosorbents underwent changes with the chemical modification carried out, promoting a novel approach for the use of this biosorbent.

Abstract
Malachite green (MG) is a synthetic dye that uses ranges from its application as a tissue dye to that as an antiparasitic in aquaculture. Several studies have reported the presence of this compound in food dyes and in the meat of fish raised in captivity for human consumption, suggesting risks both for the end user and for as those who handle these products because of MG toxic properties described in the literature. Here we evaluated the cytotoxic and genotoxic profiles of MG in four different cell lines (ACP02, L929, MNP01, and MRC-5). Two of these cell lines are stomach cells (normal and cancer lineages) and the potential ingestion of MG makes this a relevant cell type. Cells were treated with MG at concentrations ranging from 0.1 μM to 100 μM, and tested by MTT assay, a differential apoptosis/necrosis assay (EB/OA), the micronucleus test (MN), and the comet assay. MG exhibits dose-dependent cytotoxicity toward all of the tested cell types; higher concentrations of MG cause cell necrosis, while lower concentrations induce apoptosis. MG has a genotoxic profile increasing the rates of micronuclei, nucleoplasmic bridges, nuclear buds, and DNA fragmentation; L929 and MRC-5 showed more sensibility than ACP02 and MNP01.

Abstract
In this article, a high-performance nanostructured substrate has been fabricated for the ultrasensitive detection of the organic pollutant, Malachite green isothiocyanate (MGITC), in aquatic systems via the Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) technique. The chemical dealloying approach has been used to synthesize a three-dimensional nanoporous gold substrate (NPG) consisting of pores and multigrained ligament structures along thickness. The formation of the framework in NPG-5h has been confirmed by SEM with an average ligament size of 65 nm at the narrower neck. Remarkable SERS performance has been achieved by utilizing the NPG-5h substrate for the detection of MGITC, showing a signal enhancement of 7.9 × 109. The SERS substrate also demonstrated an impressively low-detection limit of 10-16 M. The presence of numerous active sites, as well as plasmonic hotspots on the nanoporous surface, can be accredited to the signal amplification via the Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance (LSPR) phenomenon. As a result, SERS detection technology with the fabricated-NPG substrate not only proves to be a simple and effective approach for detecting malachite green but also provides a basis for in situ detection approach of toxic chemicals in aquatic ecosystems.

Abstract
Emerging dye pollution from textile industrial effluents is becoming more challenging for researchers worldwide. The contamination of water by dye effluents affects the living organisms in an ecosystem. Methylene blue (MB) and malachite green (MG) are soluble dyes with a high colour intensity even at low concentration and are hazardous to living organisms. The adsorption method is used in most wastewater plants for the removal of organic pollutants as it is cost-effective, has a high adsorption capacity, and good mechanical stabilities. In this study, a composite adsorbent was prepared by impregnating iron modified silica (FMS) onto polyurethane (PU) foam to produce an iron modified silica/polyurethane (FMS/PU) composite. The composite adsorbent was utilised in batch adsorption of the cationic dyes MB and MG. The effect of adsorption parameters such as the adsorbent load, pH, initial dye concentration, and contact time were discussed. Adsorption kinetics and isotherm were implemented to understand the adsorption mechanism for both dyes. It was found that the adsorption of MB and MG followed the pseudo-second order model. The Langmuir model showed a better fit than the Freundlich model for the adsorption of MB and MG, indicating that the adsorption occurred via the monolayer adsorption system. The maximum adsorption capacity of the FMS/PU obtained for MB was 31.7 mg/g, while for MG, it was 34.3 mg/g. The thermodynamic study revealed that the adsorption of MB and MG were exothermic and spontaneous at room temperature. In addition, the regeneration of FMS/PU was conducted to investigate the composite efficiency in adsorbing dyes for several cycles. The results showed that the FMS/PU composite could be regenerated up to four times when the regeneration efficiency dropped drastically to less than 20.0%. The impregnation of FMS onto PU foam also minimised the adsorbent loss into the environment.

Abstract
Zinc oxide is an environmentally friendly and readily synthesized semiconductor with many industrial applications. ZnO powders were prepared by alkali precipitation using different [Zn(acetate)2(amine)x] compounds to alter the particle size and aspect ratio. Slow precipitations from 95 °C solutions produced micron-scale particles with morphologies of hexagonal plates, rods, and needles, depending on the precursor used. Powders prepared at 65 °C with rapid precipitation yielded particles with minimal morphology differences, but particle size was dependent on the precursor used. The smallest particles were produced using precursors that yielded crystals with low aspect ratios during high-temperature synthesis. Particles produced during rapid synthesis had sizes ranging from 21-45 nm. The materials were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis, BET, and diffuse reflectance. The materials prepared using precursors with less-volatile amines were found to retain more organic material than ZnO produced using precursors with more volatile amines. The amount of organic material associated with the nanoparticles influenced the photocatalytic activity of the ZnO, with powders containing less organic material producing faster rate constants for the decolorizing of malachite green solutions under ultraviolet illumination, independent of particle size. [Zn(acetate)2(hydrazine)2] produced ZnO with the fastest rate constant and was recycled five times for dye degradation studies that revealed minimal to no reduction in catalytic efficiency.

Abstract
Malachite green (MG) dye is a common environmental pollutant that threatens human health and the integrity of the Earth's ecosystem. The aim of this study was to investigate the potential biodegradation of MG dye by actinomycetes species isolated from planted soil near an industrial water effluent in Cairo, Egypt. The Streptomyces isolate St 45 was selected according to its high efficiency for laccase production. It was identified as S. exfoliatus based on phenotype and 16S rRNA molecular analysis and was deposited in the NCBI GenBank with the gene accession number OL720220. Its growth kinetics were studied during an incubation time of 144 h, during which the growth rate was 0.4232 (µ/h), the duplication time (td) was 1.64 d, and multiplication rate (MR) was 0.61 h, with an MG decolorization value of 96% after 120 h of incubation at 25 °C. Eleven physical and nutritional factors (mannitol, frying oil waste, MgSO4, NH4NO3, NH4Cl, dye concentration, pH, agitation, temperature, inoculum size, and incubation time) were screened for significance in the biodegradation of MG by S. exfoliatus using PBD. Out of the eleven factors screened in PBD, five (dye concentration, frying oil waste, MgSO4, inoculum size, and pH) were shown to be significant in the decolorization process. Central composite design (CCD) was applied to optimize the biodegradation of MG. Maximum decolorization was attained using the following optimal conditions: food oil waste, 7.5 mL/L; MgSO4, 0.35 g/L; dye concentration, 0.04 g/L; pH, 4.0; and inoculum size, 12.5%. The products from the degradation of MG by S. exfoliatus were characterized using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The results revealed the presence of several compounds, including leuco-malachite green, di(tert-butyl)(2-phenylethoxy) silane, 1,3-benzenedicarboxylic acid, bis(2-ethylhexyl) ester, 1,4-benzenedicarboxylic acid, bis(2-ethylhexyl) ester, 1,2-benzenedicarboxylic acid, di-n-octyl phthalate, and 1,2-benzenedicarboxylic acid, dioctyl ester. Moreover, the phytotoxicity, microbial toxicity, and cytotoxicity tests confirmed that the byproducts of MG degradation were not toxic to plants, microbes, or human cells. The results of this work implicate S. exfoliatus as a novel strain for MG biodegradation in different environments.

Silver Nanoparticles Incorporated on Natural Clay as an Inhibitor against the New ISO SS Bacteria Isolated from Sewage Sludge, Involved in Malachite Green Dye Oxidation. Molecules 2022; 27:molecules27185791. [PMID: 36144533 PMCID: PMC9500645 DOI: 10.3390/molecules27185791] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/13/2022] [Revised: 08/26/2022] [Accepted: 09/05/2022] [Indexed: 12/03/2022] Open
Abstract
A facile, ecofriendly, and cost-effective method was developed to prepare a microporous material based on natural chemically modified bentonite with silver ions (BN-Ag0). This material presents a good catalytic activity against Malachite Green (MG) dye and bacteriostatic activity against a newly isolated bacterium from sewage sludge named hereafter “ISO SS” and Escherichia coli (E. coli). BN-Ag0 was characterized by the following methods: energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET), Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, temperature programmed desorption (TPD) and X-ray Diffraction (XRD). The new bacterium ISO SS, was isolated using the technique of isolating a pure culture of anaerobically stabilized sludge. A mandatory characterization of ISO SS isolated strains from anaerobic stabilized sludge was performed in the process of identifying bacterial species. The cationic clay-based nanomaterial showed appreciable antibacterial activity against ISO SS, a Gram-negative bacterium. It also showed good activity against E. coli bacteria. As a catalyst in the catalytic ozonation of MG dye, BN-Ag0 significantly improves the oxidation time of the dye, due to its good adsorption and catalytic properties. The catalytic and antibacterial activities of the natural bentonite (BN) and of BN-Ag0 were examined using performant characterization techniques. The lifetime of the BN-Ag0 catalyst was also evaluated. Results obtained are expected to provide valuable findings for the preparation of a good microporous material with multiple functionalities.

Abstract
The current research describes the synthesis, characterization and application of CoFe2O4/g-C3N4/bentonite as a novel nanocomposite for the efficient degradation of aniline blue under solar irradiation. Powder XRD, TIR, SEM, TEM, VSM and UV-DRS were used to describe the formation and morphology of the composite. The composite has been used as a heterogeneous photocatalyst to degrade aniline blue in the presence of H2O2. In the presence of H2O2 in solar radiation, it was possible to degrade 88.5% of 10 ppm aniline blue solution just in 50 min using 50 mg of the composite. The improvement in photodegradation rate in the existence of H2O2 was attributed to the advanced oxidation process (AOP) mechanism of photo-Fenton involving the production of reactive hydroxyl and perhydroxyl radicals. The degradation was found to follow first-order kinetics with high regression coefficient with elevated rate constant.

Abstract
In this paper, we designed a surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrate for graphene/Ag nanoparticles (Ag NPs) bonded multilayer film (MLF) using the hybrid nanostructures composed of graphene and plasmonic metal components with significant plasmonic electrical effects and unique optical characteristics. This paper achieved the advantages of efficient utilization of electromagnetic field and reduction of fluorescence background based on the electromagnetic enhancement activity of Ag NPs and unique physical/chemical properties of graphene with zero gap structures. Au/Al2O3 was stacked periodically to construct MLF. As indicated by the electric field intensity at the Au/Al2O3 interface of the respective layer, bulk plasmon polariton (BPP) in the MLF was excited and coupled with localized surface plasmon (LSP) in the Ag NPs, which enhanced the electromagnetic field on the top-layer of SERS substrate. To measure the performance of the SERS substrate, rhodamine 6G (R6G) and malachite green (MG) were used as the probe molecules, with the detection limits of 10-11 M and 10-8 M, respectively. The SERS substrate had high sensitivity and uniformity, which indicated that it has a broad application prospect in the field of molecular detection.

Sunlight-active phytol-ZnO@TiO 2 nanocomposite for photocatalytic water remediation and bacterial-fouling control in aquaculture: A comprehensive study on safety-level assessment. WATER RESEARCH 2022; 212:118081. [PMID: 35077939 DOI: 10.1016/j.watres.2022.118081] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/15/2021] [Revised: 12/13/2021] [Accepted: 01/12/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
With a growing consciousness of the importance of nature stewardship, researchers are focusing their efforts on utilizing renewable energy, particularly solar energy, to address environmental concerns. In this context, photocatalysis has long been viewed as one of the most promising cleaning methods. Hence, we have prepared a sunlight-active phytol-assisted ZnO-TiO2 nanocomposite (PZTN) for photocatalytic bacterial deactivation and dye degradation process. The PZTN-photocatalysis effectively deactivated the bacterial pathogens as well as malachite green dye within 240 min under direct-sunlight. Moreover, this will be the first complete study on safety level assessment of photocatalytically-remediated water through toxicity studies. The obtained results evidenced that photocatalytically-deactivated bacteria and MG-dye showed to have no toxic effects, signifying that the PZTN-photocatalyzed water seems to be extremely safe for the environment. As a result of this research, we suggest that the PZTN could be a promising sunlight-active photocatalyst for environmental water treatment. On the other hand, biofouling is a ubiquitous phenomenon in the marine environment. Bacteria are the first organisms to foul surfaces and produce biofilms on man-made submerged materials. Interestingly, PZTN-coated PVC plastic-films effectively disallowed biofilms on their surface. This part of this research suggests that PZTN coated PVC-plastics are the best alternative for biofouling management.

Abstract
In this study, biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using two species of cyanobacteria, Anabaena variabilis (Kütz) and Spirulina platensis (Gomont) was investigated and evaluated for dye removing capacity. The formation of AgNPs was detected by the change in colour using UV-Vis spectroscopy and further characterised by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The obtained AgNPs were spherical to oval with average particle size of 17.9 and 26.4 nm for S. platensis and A. variabilis, respectively. These AgNPs were applied as bio-sorbent for the removal of malachite green (MG) dye released into wastewater. Within the tested initial concentration range of MG, the reaction exhibited first order kinetics model as monitored via UV spectroscopy. As the dye concentration decreased, the removal efficiency increased to reach 93% for S. platensis and 82% for A. variabilis AgNPs. The results also indicated that increased AgNPs concentration enhanced the MG removal with an efficiency up to 88% and 81% for S. platensis and A. variabilis AgNPs, respectively. The smaller particle diameter and larger specific surface area of S. platensis AgNPs enabled boosted catalytic activity for dye removal than those of A. variabilis. After the treatment with AgNPs, the resultant dye- AgNPs-free effluent proved non-toxic to Triticum aestivum L (Giza 171) seedlings, implying their safety for cultivation practices.

Abstract
Recently, removal of synthetic dyes, especially cationic dye of malachite green (MG), and inhibition of the growth of pathogenic microorganism from drinking water have gained much interest due to their high toxic potency for aquatic biosystems. Herein, a new dye adsorbent with outstanding antibacterial activity was fabricated based on xanthan gum (XG) and SiO2 nanoparticles through ultrasonication followed by the crosslinking polymerization with vinyl imidazole monomer. The nano adsorbents were characterized with various techniques such as FTIR, XRD, SEM, EDX, and TEM. The nanocomposites were applied as a filter for discarding MG dye and killing the growth of bacterial strains such as E.coli and S.aureus which are considered as the common impurities for drinking water. The data revealed that a maximum adsorption capacity was recorded as 99.5% (Qmax = 588.2 mg/g) at optimum conditions including 10 mg nanocomposite, 10 mL of MG dye (450 ppm), pH = 7, the temperature of 30 °C, and the adsorption time was adjusted within 6 h. The process of dye adsorption was applied to the common isotherm models of Langmuir, Temkin, and Freundlich, and the findings showed that the adsorption behavior was well fitted with the Langmuir one (R2 = 0.9983). Moreover, different adsorption kinetic models such as pseudo-first order, pseudo-second order, and intra-particle diffusion were studied for understanding the mechanism of MG adsorption onto nanocomposite surface. It was found that both intraparticle diffusion and pseudo-first-order have participated evenly in the adsorption mechanism of MG dye. Ultimately, the as-prepared nanocomposites were tested against the growth of S. aureus, and E.coli manifesting a superior inhibition diameter as 23.5 ± 0.50, and 25.33 ± 0.47 mm against E.coli, and S. aureus, respectively. Therefore, our new XG-g-PVI/SiO2 adsorbent is a very promising adsorbent for the fast and efficient capture of dyes from aqueous solutions.

Abstract
Understanding the spatial distribution of bioactive small molecules is indispensable for elucidating their biological or pharmaceutical roles. Here, a rapid and effective analysis strategy was introduced to study the distribution of veterinary drugs in aquatic products. Malachite green (MG), one of the most widely used veterinary drugs in aquaculture, was selected as the targeted compound. Zebrafish (Danio rerio) was used as a model organism. After an exposure test, the matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry imaging (MALDI-MSI) technique was applied to directly analyze the content changes of malachite green in zebrafish tissues. The reliable relationship of exposure time and content change of MG was described precisely by the extended Freundlich equation. The process of modeling was discussed in detail, and some important parameters or trend information was obtained, including the maximum content of MG in different fish tissues, time to maximum content, elimination time, equilibrium content, and so on. With a simplification of sample pretreatment, this research strategy can be used for monitoring the spatial distribution of veterinary drugs and related metabolites of laboratory-exposed fish. The obtained model can provide a perspective for rational drug use in aquaculture and precise drug residue detection in production activities.

Abstract
Recently, Mn oxides (MnOxs) have been attracting considerable interest in the oxidation of organic pollutants. However, the reduction of MnOx in these reactions leads to the deactivation of the catalyst, which must be frequently regenerated. We evaluated the application of a manganese-oxidizing bacterium (MOB) and MnOx in removing toxic dyes. We studied the co-function of a plant-endophytic MOB, Pantoea eucrina SS01, with its bio-generated MnOx and evaluated the detoxification activity and chemical transformation mechanisms of the complex in malachite green (MG) degradation. We found a synergistic effect between MnOx and the strain. Particularly, strain SS01 could adsorb MG but could not degrade it, whereas the addition of Mn(II) promoted MG degradation by the formation of a complex containing the bacterium and MnOx aggregates (SS01-bio-MnOx), with distinct morphology characteristics. The complex showed a marked sustainability in the degradation of MG into less toxic or non-toxic metabolites. In this process, strain SS01 might have enhanced the regeneration of MnOx, accelerating MG degradation. Our data not only contribute to understanding the mechanism of MG removal by the SS01-bio-MnOx complex, but also provide a scientific basis for the future application of MOB and MnOx.

Abstract
Malachite green (MG) is extensively applied in aquaculture worldwide as a therapeutic agent. MG and its primary metabolite leucomalachite green (LMG) are commonly detected in aquaculture products. MG can cause serious health concerns (in vivo carcinogenic/genotoxic). The extensive water solubility of MG leads to water pollution and hence it is mandatory to remove MG from water. The current study explores adsorptive removal of MG from water using highly water stable Zeolitic Imidazolate framework/graphene oxide composites (ZIF-67@GO). Adsorption performance of newly synthesized composites is justified for MG removal with excellent results of pseudo second order (R2 = 0.99955) which is well-fitted in this case. ZIF-67@GO data of adsorption isotherm for MG is observed using Freundlich Model (R2 = 0.99999) and with adsorption capacity value observed (134.79 mg/g) with removal efficiency of 99.18%, indicates π-staking and electrostatic association between ZIF-67@GO and MG molecules. Synthesized material has retained reusability while removal efficiency reduced only by 6% after many cycles. Furthermore, factors effecting absorption like contact time, pH, adsorbent dose and quantity and temperature are also determined.

Abstract
Optical biopsies bring the microscope to the patient rather than the tissue to the microscope, and may complement or replace the tissue-harvesting component of the traditional biopsy process with its associated risks. In general, optical biopsies are limited by the lack of endogenous tissue contrast and the small number of clinically approvedin vivodyes. This study tests multiple FDA-approved drugs that have structural similarity to research dyes as off-labelin situfluorescent alternatives to standardex vivohematoxylin & eosin tissue stain. Numerous drug-dye combinations shown here may facilitate relatively safe and fastin situor possiblyin vivostaining of tissue, enabling real-time optical biopsies and other advanced microscopy technologies, which have implications for the speed and performance of tissue- and cellular-level diagnostics.

Abstract
Chytridiomycosis is an emerging infectious disease threatening amphibian populations worldwide. While environmental disinfection is important in mitigating the disease, successful elimination of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) without excessively harming ecosystems is challenging. We selected peracetic acid (PAA) as the most potent of six commercially available products regarding their ability to inhibit growth of a highly virulent Bd strain. PAA killed Bd after 5 min of exposure to approximately 94.7 mg/L. We examined the toxicity of PAA against three invertebrate species and Discoglossus pictus tadpoles. 93% of invertebrates, but none of the tadpoles survived 5 min of exposure to 94.7 mg/L. Tadpoles showed no adverse effects after 5 min exposure to concentrations of approximately 37.9 mg/L or lower. Addition of PAA to aquatic microcosms decreased pH, while dissolved oxygen (DO) initially increased. Degradation of PAA reversed the pH drop, but caused a massive drop in DO, which could be remedied by aeration. As proof of concept, microcosms that were aerated and treated with 94.7 mg/L PAA sustained survival of tadpoles starting 48 h after treatment. Disinfecting aquatic environments using PAA could contribute to mitigating chytridiomycosis, while preserving at least some invertebrate diversity, but requires temporary removal of resident amphibians.

Abstract
Malachite green (MG) dye, besides coloring is used as an effective aquaculture therapeutic. The present study assesses the mitigating ability of Emblica officinalis (EO) fruit extract against the dye induced chronic (60 days) cyto-toxicity in Cyprinus carpio. For this, four experimental groups were maintained: group I—control, group II—MG, group III—EO (positive control), group IV—MG + EO. The study was made at three tiers: detailing structural anomalies using a light microscope and transmission electron microscope (TEM), biochemical estimation of antioxidant enzymes, and lipid peroxidation and molecular analysis of expression patterns of HSP70, and CYP1A genes. MG intoxication resulted in necrosis, cytoplasmic vacuolation, glycogen depletion, abundant macrophages, loss of cell integrity and prominent nuclear alterations. Significant (p < 0.05) inhibition in the activities of catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione-S-transferase (GST) and reduced glutathione (GSH), along with an elevation in malondialdehyde (MDA) levels, occurred after 60 days of MG exposure. CYP1A and HSP70 genes presented a significant change in their expression in MG treated fish. Whereas oral supplementation with EO significantly restored the histo-architecture, normalized the altered enzymatic activity, reduced the oxidative stress level and regulated the expression of HSP70 and CYP1A genes. Thus, it can be concluded that EO acted as an effective ameliorant against malachite green induced cyto-toxicity in Cyprinus carpio.

Abstract
Three different malachite green leuco derivatives (MG-Xs) are incorporated in liposomes. In all three cases, a substituent (X) is covalently linked to the central carbon atom, abbreviated as MG-OH, MG-OCH3, and MG-CN. The three MG-X compounds are solubilized separately in liposome membranes and become cationic (MG+) and water soluble under acidic conditions. MG+ is consequently released from the liposome to the aqueous exterior. Their release behavior corresponds to their ionization ability: MG-OH > MG-OCH3 > MG-CN. The cellular uptake of the liposomes, the cytotoxic effect, and the location of MG+ in cancer cells are investigated using murine cells derived from colon cancer (Colon 26 cells) and human embryonic kidney cells (HEK 293 cells). The toxic effect on cancer cells is correlated to the ionization ability of MG-Xs. The liposomes effectively deliver MG+via the endocytic pathway, resulting in the cytotoxicity of liposomes containing MG-OH which is higher than that of free MG-OH and MG+. The difference in the phospholipids constituting the liposome membranes barely had an effect on the ionization ratio and the cytotoxicity of MG-OH. Confocal fluorescence microscopic observations revealed that MG+ is ultimately transported into the nuclei after being released in acidic cellular compartments.

Abstract
A newly synthesized zinc (II) oxide nanoparticle (ZnO-NPs) has been used as a disinfectant Nano-spray for the emerging corona virus (SARS-CoV-2). The synthesized obtained nanomaterial of (ZnO) was fully chemically characterized by using different spectroscopic analysis (FT-IR, UV and XRD) and surface analysis techniques. ZnO-Nps surface morphology and chemical purity has been investigated by transmission electron microscope (TEM), high resolution transmission electron microscope (HR-TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) as well as energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), Additionally Zeta potential and Zeta size distribution were measured and evaluated to confirm its nano-range scale. The synthesized Zno-NPs have been tested using 10% DMSO and ddH2O for estimation of antiviral activity against (SARS-CoV-2) by using cytotoxicity assay (CC50) and inhibitory concentration (IC50). The results revealed that (Zno-NPs) has high anti-SARS-CoV-2 activity at cytotoxic concentrations in vitro with non-significant selectivity index (CC50/IC50 ≤ 1). The current study results demonstrated the (ZnO-NPs) has potent antiviral activity at low concentration (IC50 = 526 ng/mL) but with some cytotoxic effect to the cell host by (CC50 = 292.2 ng/mL). We recommend using of (ZnO-NPs) as potent disinfectant against (SARS-Cov-2), but there are slight side effects on the cellular host, so we recommend more prospective studies on complexation of other compounds with (ZnO-NPs) in different concentrations to reduce its cellular toxicity and elevate its antiviral activity against SARS-CoV-2 activities.

Abstract
A sustainable supply of pure water is a great challenge in most developing and third-world countries. Nanomaterial-based technology offers technological development for wastewater purification. Nanocatalysis hydrogenation of nitroarene and dye molecules is a hot model in many research fields. Herein, we report eco-friendly and facile technology to synthesize Ag-Au bimetallic nanocomposites. The synthesized nanocomposites are characterized by ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. The synthesized nanocomposite can efficiently degrade Congo red and 4-nitrophenol in water and in the presence of sodium borohydride. The results show that it degrades Congo red and 4-nitrophenol entirely within 6 and 7 min, respectively. These results could be useful for the green synthesis of Ag-Au bimetallic nanocomposites and help to remove organic dye molecules and nitroaromatics from wastewater.

Abstract
Malachite green (MG) is a multi-application dye with raised concern as aquatic toxicant. Cyprinus carpio fingerlings were exposed to MG and simultaneously fed with Emblica officinalis (EO) fruit extract to mitigate the MG induced nephrotoxicity. MG exposure developed depressed activity of antioxidant enzymes such as catalase, superoxide dismutase, glutathione-s-transferase, and reduced glutathione, while levels of malondialdehyde got significantly (p < .05) elevated after 60 days MG exposure. H&E staining revealed increased intracellular space, vacuolation, fluid-filled spaces, damaged brush border lining of proximal convoluted tubule (PCT), focal necrosis, nuclear transformations and shrunken glomerulus. Further, Transmission electron microscope study detailed structural cytotoxicity with the appearance of the heterochromatic nucleus, electron-dense lysosomal bodies, damaged brush border lining of PCT, and necrosis; glomerulus exhibited erythrocyte infiltration and fused pedicels of podocyte. While, EO extract supplemented diet culminated in the restoration of the renal cytoarchitecture and significantly (p < .05) enhanced activity of antioxidant enzymes.

Abstract
The wide use of malachite green (MG) as a dye has caused substantial concern owing to its toxicity. Bacillus cereus can against the toxic effect of MG and efficiently decolourise it. However, detailed information regarding its underlying adaptation and degradation mechanisms based on proteomic data is scarce. In this study, the isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ)-facilitated quantitative method was applied to analyse the molecular mechanisms by which B. cereus degrades MG. Based on this analysis, 209 upregulated proteins and 198 downregulated proteins were identified with a false discovery rate of 1% or less during MG biodegradation. Gene ontology and KEGG analysis determined that the differentially expressed proteins were enriched in metabolic processes, catalytic activity, antioxidant activity, and responses to stimuli. Furthermore, real-time qPCR was utilised to further confirm the regulated proteins involved in benzoate degradation. The proteins BCE_4076 (Acetyl-CoA acetyltransferase), BCE_5143 (Acetyl-CoA acetyltransferase), BCE_5144 (3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase), BCE_4651 (Enoyl-CoA hydratase), and BCE_5474 (3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase) involved in the benzoate degradation pathway may play an important role in the biodegradation of MG by B. cereus. The results of this study not only provide a comprehensive view of proteomic changes in B. cereus upon MG loading but also shed light on the mechanism underlying MG biodegradation by B. cereus.

Abstract
Film wrap nanoparticle system (FWPS) is proposed and fabricated to perform SERS effect, where the Ag nanoparticle was completely wrapped by Au film and the double-layered graphene was selected as the sub-nano spacer. In this system, the designed nanostructure can be fully rather than partly used to generate hotspots and absorb probe molecules, compared to the nanoparticle to nanoparticle system (PTPS) or nanoparticle to film system (PTFS). The optimal fabricating condition and performance of this system were studied by the COMSOL Multiphysics. The simulation results show that the strongly large-scale localized electromagnetic field appears in the whole space between the Ag nanoparticle and Au film. The experimental results show that the FWPS presents excellent sensitivity (crystal violet (CV): 10-11 M), uniformity, stability and high enhancement factor (EF: 2.23×108). Malachite green (MG; 10-10 M) on the surface of fish and DNA strands with different base sequence (A, T, C) were successfully detected. These advanced results indicate that FWPS is highly promising to be applied for the detection of environmental pollution and biomolecules.

Abstract
Synthetic organic dyes are widely used in various industrial sectors but are also among the most harmful water pollutants. In the last decade, significant efforts have been made to develop improved materials for the removal of dyes from water, in particular, on nanostructured adsorbent materials. Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) are an attractive class of hybrid nanostructured materials with an extremely wide range of applications including adsorption. In the present work, an iron-based Fe-BTC MOF, prepared according to a rapid, aqueous-based procedure, was used as an adsorbent for the removal of alizarin red S (ARS) and malachite green (MG) dyes from water. The synthesized material was characterized in detail, while the adsorption of the dyes was monitored by UV-Vis spectroscopy. An optimal adsorption pH of 4, likely due to the establishment of favorable interactions between dyes and Fe-BTC, was found. At this pH and at a temperature of 298 K, adsorption equilibrium was reached in less than 30 min following a pseudo-second order kinetics, with k″ of 4.29 × 10−3 and 3.98 × 10−2 g∙mg−1 min−1 for ARS and MG, respectively. The adsorption isotherm followed the Langmuir model with maximal adsorption capacities of 80 mg∙g−1 (ARS) and 177 mg∙g−1 (MG), and KL of 9.30·103 L∙mg−1 (ARS) and 51.56·103 L∙mg−1 (MG).

Abstract
A rapid and simple immunochromatographic strip test assay based on competitive format was developed for leucomalachite green (LMG) detection. LMG-bovine serum albumin and rabbit anti-sheep IgG were immobilized on nitrocellulose membrane for the test line and control line, respectively. Anti-LMG-colloidal gold conjugate was immobilized onto the conjugate pad. For qualitative detection, the cut-off limit of the strip test was determined at 2 µg/L by the naked eye. For quantitative analysis, the working range of the LMG detection was 0.7-2 µg/L with LOD at 0.28 µg/L. A one-step immunochromatographic strip test for LMG detection can be completed within 5 min without any incubation, washing and blocking steps. Analysis results of LMG in aquatic animals obtained from the immunochromatographic strip test were in good agreement with those realized from enzyme-link immunosorbent assay. The developed the immunochromatographic strip test offered rapid detection as a simple (one-step), cost-effective, instrument-free assay and no need for handling reagents.

Abstract
In recent years interest in the fate of chemical compounds in the aquatic environment has increased. There are many reports of the presence of chemical compounds such as pesticides, steroid hormones or antibiotics in the aquatic environment. At present, little is known about synthetic organic dyes as contaminants of water bodies. These dyes are omnipresent in many application areas from the textile, tannery, cosmetic and food industries to human and veterinary medicine. Their large-scale production and widespread applications have caused synthetic organic dyes to permeate into different compartments of water and soil environment. So far, dyes have been determined in environmental samples such as water, suspended particulate matters, sediment and wild fish. For this reason, they are considered micropollutants of aquatic ecosystems. Due to the toxicological properties and pharmacological activity of some synthetic organic dyes their occurrence in water bodies should be monitored. The hazard potential of synthetic organic dyes should be assessed, especially their influence on aquatic biota, not least because dyes in water ecosystems may pose a threat to animal or human health as higher-order consumers. This review collects scientific data considering application areas, toxicity, sources, environmental occurrence and the fate of synthetic organic dyes and the ecological implications of synthetic organic dyes presence in the total environment. Moreover, analytical methods for dye determination and methods for dye removal from wastewater are described.

Malachite green is a carcinogenic dye that has been detected in fish tissues and freshwater. Here we evaluated the malachite green decoloring ability of a photoautotrophic cyanobacterium, Synechococcus elongatus PCC 7942 (Synechococcus), that lives in freshwater. Results show that 99.5% of the dye was removed by Synechococcus through bioabsorption and bioaccumulation; however, the dye was not degraded or chemically modified. Next, we established an engineered Synechococcus strain to degrade the dye after uptake. The triphenylmethane reductase gene katmr was heterologously expressed, resulting in high production of a soluble recombinant protein. The engineered strain showed advanced decoloring abilities at a low cell density and in stressful environments. It degraded malachite green into the smaller molecules 4-methylaminobenzoic acid and 4-hydroxyl-aniline. After treatment with the engineered cyanobacterium, the growth of wheat seeds was fully recovered in the presence of malachite green. These results demonstrate the potential application of the engineered Synechococcus as a photosynthetic cell factory for the removal of malachite green from wastewater.
