Article Abstract
The biocathode of the two-columnar microbial fuel cell was used to denitrify. Factors influencing denitrification performance and power production were studied. When the external resistance decreased from 50 omega to 5 omega, the nitrate removal rate increased from 0.26 mg/(L x h) to 0.76 mg/(L x h). The nitrite accumulated to 55 mg/L with the external resistance decreasing to 5 omega. The nitrate degradation followed the zero order reaction model when the initial nitrate concentration was 20-120 mg/L. The power generation was not affected by the nitrate concentration distinctly. The nitrite concentration increased with the initial nitrate concentration. The nitrite removal could be enhanced by adding organic matter, without significant influence on the power generation.

Microbial nitrate ammonification is a crucial process to retain nitrogen (N) in soils, thereby reducing N loss. Nitrate ammonification has been studied in enrichment and axenic bacterial cultures but so far has been merely ignored in environmental studies. In particular, the capability of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) to regulate nitrate ammonification has not yet been explored.

Karst water bodies are vital groundwater resources particularly vulnerable to pollution. Protecting their water quality requires documenting contaminants traditionally associated with anthropogenic activities (metals, nutrients, and fecal indicator bacteria) as well as emerging contaminants, such as antibiotic-resistant organisms (AROs) and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). This study detected contaminants in karst-associated water bodies on the Yucatán Peninsula, including 10 sinkholes (cenotes) and one submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) site.

Nitrogen (N) fixation with non-thermal plasmas has been proposed as a sustainable alternative to meet growing N fertilizer demands for agriculture. This technology generates Plasma Activated Water (PAW) with a range of chemical compositions, including different concentrations of nitrate (NO₃⁻) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), among other compounds. Potential use of PAW as an effective crop fertilizer necessitates a robust understanding of the underlying biology of the plant, which is not yet available.

In this study, a novel hybrid hydrogel incorporating a scandium-based metal-organic framework (scandium-integrated MOF-hydrogel hybrid) was developed using scandium nitrate, 1,4-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid, oxidized pectin, and chitosan. The synthesized scandium-integrated MOF-hydrogel hybrid demonstrated remarkable dual-functionality in both the adsorption of hazardous dye pollutants and the inhibition of pathogenic bacteria commonly found in wastewater. Characterization of the scandium-integrated MOF-hydrogel hybrid was performed using FT-IR, XRD, SEM, EDAX, CHNO elemental, BET, and XPS analyses, confirming successful MOF integration and a porous, reactive surface.

This study evaluated the chemical profile of toothpastes (TPs) and mouthrinses (MRs) and their effects on tooth enamel ultrastructure, and the viability of human dental pulp fibroblasts (hDPF). Four TPs and MRs containing different remineralizing agents (arginine, potassium nitrate, pro arginine, and stannous chloride) were analyzed for pH, titratable acidity (TA), and ion concentrations (Ca, K, Na). Enamel ultrastructure was evaluated using Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM).
