Article Abstract
The toxic perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) is widely spread in terrestrial and aquatic habitats owing to its resistance to conventional degradation processes. Advanced techniques to degrade PFOA requires drastic conditions with high energy cost. In this study, we investigated PFOA biodegradation in a simple dual biocatalyzed microbial electrosynthesis system (MES). Different PFOA loadings (1, 5, and 10 ppm) were tested and a biodegradation of 91% was observed within 120 h. Propionate production improved and short-carbon-chain PFOA intermediates were detected, which confirmed PFOA biodegradation. However, the current density decreased, indicating an inhibitory effect of PFOA. High-throughput biofilm analysis revealed that PFOA regulated the microbial flora. Microbial community analysis showed enrichment of the more resilient and PFOA adaptive microbes, including Methanosarcina and Petrimonas. Our study promotes the potential use of dual biocatalyzed MES system as an environment-friendly and inexpensive method to remediate PFOA and provides a new direction for bioremediation research.

Calmodulin (CaM) is a ubiquitous protein in eukaryotic cells, and it plays an important role in cancer progression. In this paper, a highly sensitive immunosensor adopting a dual-layered enzyme strategy was proposed for electrochemical detection of CaM. This immunosensor was constructed by introducing honeycomb-like mesoporous carbon (HMPC) as a sensor platform to sequentially immobilize antibody (Ab1), CaM and a multi-functionalized label.

Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) have the potential to simultaneously treat wastewater for reuse and to generate electricity. This study mainly considers the performance of an upflow dual-chambered MFC continuously fueled with actual domestic wastewater and alternatively biocatalyzed with aerobic activated sludge and strain of Bacillus Subtilis. The behavior of MFCs during initial biofilm growth and characterization of anodic biofilm were studied.

Azo dye is widely used in printing and dyeing process as one of refractory wastewaters for its high chroma, stable chemical property and toxicity for aquatic organism. Biocatalyzed electrolysis system (BES) is a new developed technology to degrade organic waste in bioanode and recover recalcitrant contaminants in cathode with effective decoloration. The ion exchange membrane (IEM) separate anode and cathode for biofilm formation protection.

Biomolecules detection by size-controlled quantum dots (QDs) was promising in developing clinic diagnostic techniques. In this work, a novel bioanalytical platform was developed to detect the activity of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) dependent enzyme, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and the concentration of glucose by the changes of fluorescence intensities of the QDs based on the electron transfer between QDs and sensitive biomolecules. The fluorescence intensities of the QDs was firstly quenched by NAD and then intensified with increasing amounts of the LDH because of the consumption of the NAD by the biocatalyzed reaction.
