Abstract
A Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped, non-motile, catalase-positive, denitrifying bacterium, designated strain Y-1T, was isolated from an aeration tank of a sewage treatment plant in China and characterized using polyphasic taxonomic approaches. Strain Y-1T could grow at 10-37 °C (optimum 25 °C), at pH 5.0-10.0 (optimum 7.0) and in the presence of 0-3.0% (w/v) NaCl (optimum 0.5%). The phylogenetic tree based on the 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain Y-1T was a member of genus Diaphorobacter, and showed the highest sequence similarities with Diaphorobacter oryzae RF3T (97.50%), Diaphorobacter nitroreducens NA10BT (97.38%) and Diaphorobacter aerolatus 8604S-37T (96.56%). In terms of carbon source utilization and enzyme activities, strain Y-1T was significantly different from its similar strains. The major respiratory quinone was Q-8, and the main polar lipid was phosphatidylethanolamine. Comparative genomic analysis of strain Y-1T and other Diaphorobacter species was conducted to explore the mechanisms underlying the differences among these strains. Strain Y-1T encoded 3957 genes, consisting of 3813 protein-coding genes and 144 RNA coding genes, and encoded 652 enzymes with 31 unique enzymes compared with other related species. The DNA G + C content was 69.95 mol%. Strain Y-1T exhibited 41.71% DNA-DNA relatedness and 95% ANIb with the most related type strains.On the basis of the evidence presented from polyphasic analysis, strain Y-1T was suggested as a novel species within the genus Diaphorobacter, for which the name Diaphorobacter limosus sp. nov. is proposed, with the type strain Y-1T (= KCTC 92852T = CCTCC AB 2023032T).

Crop Contamination and Human Exposure to Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances around a Fluorochemical Industrial Park in China. Toxics 2024; 12:269.

Abstract
Due to their significant environmental impact, there has been a gradual restriction of the production and utilization of legacy per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), leading to continuous development and adoption of novel alternatives. To effectively identify the potential environmental risks from crop consumption, the levels of 25 PFAS, including fourteen perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs), two precursor substances and nine novel alternatives, in agricultural soils and edible parts of various crops around a fluoride industrial park (FIP) in Changshu city, China, were measured. The concentration of ΣPFAS in the edible parts of all crops ranged from 11.64 to 299.5 ng/g, with perfluorobutanoic acid (PFBA) being the dominant compound, accounting for an average of 71% of ΣPFAS. The precursor substance, N-methylperfluoro-octanesulfonamidoacetic acid (N-MeFOSAA), was detected in all crop samples. Different types of crops showed distinguishing accumulation profiles for the PFAS. Solanaceae and leafy vegetables showed higher levels of PFAS contamination, with the highest ΣPFAS concentrations reaching 190.91 and 175.29 ng/g, respectively. The highest ΣAlternative was detected in leafy vegetables at 15.21 ng/g. The levels of human exposure to PFAS through crop consumption for various aged groups were also evaluated. The maximum exposure to PFOA for urban toddlers reached 109.8% of the standard value set by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). In addition, short-chained PFAAs and novel alternatives may pose potential risks to human health via crop consumption.
