Bacteria have potential to tolerate and reduce metals. This study evaluated the potential of selected bacterial strains in tolerating and reducing chromium (Cr). Six bacterial strains (Rhizobium miluonense LCC01, LCC04, LCC05, and LCC69; Rhizobium pusense LCC43; and Agrobacterium deltaense LCC50) showed tolerance to Cr(VI) (16 and 32 μg mL), reduction potential of Cr(VI) (from 50 to 80%), and efficiency in producing exopolysaccharides. Rhizobium pusense LCC43 exhibited the highest tolerance (128 μg mL), reduction potential of Cr(VI) (from 80 to 100%), and efficiency in producing exopolysaccharides. These results suggested that this strain may have the potential to be used in the bioremediation of soils contaminated with Cr(VI).

Cadmium (Cd) contamination in coastal regions poses severe environmental risks, yet bacterial defense mechanisms against Cd remain poorly understood. This study unveils distinct tolerant strategies of two highly Cd-tolerant bacteria isolated from the Yangtze River estuary: Comamonas sp. Y49 and Aeromonas sp.

Background: Clubroot, caused by Plasmodiophora brassicae, significantly impacts cruciferous crop production worldwide. Biocontrol is an environmentally friendly and promising approach for clubroot management. Endophytic bacteria are known for their ability to promote plant growth and induce resistance against plant diseases.

Purpose: The aim of the study was to evaluate the toxicity of triclosan in the Danio rerio model and mammalian cells, as well as to assess its antimicrobial and antibiofilm activity against selected bacterial pathogens.
Methods: Triclosan toxicity was assessed in Danio rerio embryos in accordance with OECD Test Guideline 236: Fish Embryo Acute Toxicity (FET) Test. Cytotoxicity was evaluated in vitro using the MTT assay on human dermal fibroblasts (BJ) and rat cardiomyoblasts (H9c2).

As living standards continue to rise, the demand for advanced cotton textiles that fulfill enhanced functional requirements has grown significantly. Therefore, the development of multifunctional antibacterial/hydrophobic cotton fabrics holds considerable practical value. In this study, a zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-8) based hybrid material, ZIF/SiO-LDS (Long-chain derivative of silane), was synthesized via a co-precipitation method using silica, zinc nitrate hexahydrate, 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (KH-550), 2-methylimidazole and hexadecyltrimethylsilane (HDTMS).
