Acute toxicity tests revealed that, in red sea bream (Pagrus major) embryos, 24 and 48 h LC(50) values of waterborne HgCl(2) were 67.3 and 39.1 μg Hg(2+) L(-1). In larvae, 48, 72 and 96 h LC(50) values were 41.9, 36.1 and 34.8 μg Hg(2+) L(-1), respectively. Sub-chronic toxicity tests indicated that mercury concentrations ≥20 μg Hg(2+) L(-1) decreased hatching success, increased mortality and induced teratogenicity in embryos and larvae. The NOEC, LOEC and MATC values were 8.0, 16.3 and 11.4 μg Hg(2+) L(-1) for hatching success, mortality and teratogenicity; while those were 27.0, 36.9 and 31.6 μg Hg(2+) L(-1) for body length and specific growth rate, respectively.

A novel hybrid nanocomposite based on a metal-organic framework (MOF) and electroconductive cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) was developed for the individual and simultaneous detection of heavy metal ions Cd, Pb, Cu, and Hg. The reported modified electrode was based on a thin layer of the hybrid nanocomposite formed on a glassy carbon electrode via a drop-casting method. The MOF, DUT-67, provided binding sites for heavy metal ions due to putative interactions between organic linkers and metal cation analytes.

Al, N-doped carbon dots (Al-NCDs) with a 315-nm Stokes shift and 31.4% quantum yield were designed to mitigate autofluorescence interference in complex matrices. DFT calculations coupled with structural studies revealed an Al-pyridinic-N coordination modulated electronic transitions, enabling the unique optical properties.

Two selective methods were developed for detecting mercury ions (Hg⁺) in food and water samples using catalytic fluorometry based on Au-Hg amalgamation with enhanced peroxidase-like activity. These approaches include (i) a laser-printed microfluidic paper-based analytical device (LP-µPAD) and (ii) a paper-based microcentrifuge tube test kit. The LP-µPAD was fabricated via commercial laser printing and integrated gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) with o-phenylenediamine (OPD) and hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂).

Cold-active cellulases attract significant attention for their potential in energy-efficient bioprocesses under low-temperature conditions. In this study, a psychrotolerant bacterial strain, Pseudomonas fragi HsL3-1, was isolated from Hengshui Lake sediments and found to produce a novel endoglucanase, EG-22SJ. The enzyme demonstrated optimal activity at pH 5.

Mercury ions (Hg) pose serious threats to aquatic ecosystems and human health due to their high toxicity and bioaccumulation. Sulfurized polyacrylonitrile (SPAN) nanoparticles, which contain soft Lewis base groups interact strongly with the soft Lewis acid Hg, demonstrating excellent adsorption performance and chemical stability. However, traditional methods typically involve dispersing SPAN nanoparticles in water or coating them on substrates, leading to uneven distribution, poor material stability, and potential secondary pollution.
