Article Abstract
Ammonia has been reported to have a variety of toxicity to aquatic animals, farm animals and humans. However, its potential toxicity on the intestines remains unknown. L-selenomethionine is one of the important organic selenium sources. However, the mitigating effect of L-selenomethionine on ammonia exposure toxicity is still lacking. Therefore, in this study, the mechanism of toxic action of ammonia on intestinal tract and the detoxification effect of L-selenomethionine were examined. We evaluated the intestinal toxicity of ammonia and the alleviating effect of L-selenomethionine in an in vivo model, and then verified it in vitro model by a variety of cutting-edge experimental techniques. Our results showed that ammonia exposure causes oxidative stress, necroptosis, Th1/Th2 imbalance and inflammation in the intestinal tissue and the intestinal cells, and L-selenomethionine had a significant mitigation effect on the changes of these indexes induced by ammonia. In conclusion, ammonia exposure caused oxidative stress and Th1/Th2 imbalance in the porcine small intestine and IPEC-J2 cells, and that excessive ROS accumulation-mediated necroptosis targeted inflammatory responses, resulting in the destruction of tight connections of intestinal cells, thereby causing intestinal barrier dysfunction. L-selenomethionine could effectively reduce the intestinal injury caused by ammonia exposure and antagonize the toxic effect of ammonia.

Understanding the stability and assemblage of biofilm microbiomes under oligotrophic conditions is critical for improving groundwater bioremediation. In this study, a novel microbial electrochemical filter (MEF) was developed to explore the impact of weak electrical stimulation on functional adaptability of biofilms under oligotrophic and 1,4-dioxane exposure conditions. Under 20 mg/L 1,4-dioxane stress, the MEF achieved 94.

MXenes represent exceptionally promising electrocatalytic materials for ammonia synthesis, owing to their outstanding electrical conductivity, modifiable surface functional groups, exceptional hydrophilicity, high specific surface area, and electronegative surface characteristics. In this investigation, we systematically demonstrate that the persistent challenge of Cu and Co nanoparticle agglomeration can be effectively addressed through the in-situ growth of bimetallic CuCo nanoparticles on TiCTMXene nanosheets. This innovative approach significantly enlarges the electrochemically active surface area, maximizes the exposure of catalytically active sites, and optimizes mass transport properties, consequently leading to substantially enhanced electrocatalytic performance for ammonia synthesis.

An increase in para-chloro-meta-xylenol (PCMX) pollution presents a significant obstacle to ecological security. The present study employed a series of microcosmic experiments to investigate the temporal dynamics of NO emissions and key genes involved in nitrogen cycle during the biodegradation process of PCMX. The results demonstrated that the degradation of PCMX exhibited first-order kinetics, with a calculated half-life of 231 days.

Photocatalytic ammonia decomposition offers a sustainable route for hydrogen production, but its development is limited by low catalytic efficiency and poorly understood mechanisms. Here, a protonated layered perovskite, HPrNbO (HPNO), is reported as an efficient catalyst for ammonia decomposition under mild photo-thermal conditions. Upon exposure to NH at elevated temperatures, HPNO promotes the in situ formation and intercalation of hydrazine intermediates within its interlayer galleries, enabled by thermally generated oxygen vacancies and hydrogen bonding.
