It is necessary to detect cadmium ions in seawater with high sensitivity because the pollution of cadmium ions seriously endangers the health and life of human beings. Nano-FeO/MoS/Nafion modified glassy carbon electrode was prepared by a drop coating method. The electrocatalytic properties of Nano-FeO/MoS/Nafion were measured by Cyclic Voltammetry (CV). Differential Pulse Voltammetry (DPV) was used to study the stripping Voltammetry response of the modified electrode to Cd. The optimal conditions were determined: In 0.1 mol/L HAc-NaAc solution, the solution pH was 4.2, the deposition potential was - 1.0 V, and the deposition time was 720 s, the membrane thickness was 8 μL. Under the optimum condition, the linear relation of Cd concentration was found in the range of 5-300 μg/L, and the detection limit was 0.053 μg/L. The recovery of Cd in seawater ranged from 99.2 to 102.9%. A composite material with simple operation, rapid response and high sensitivity was constructed for the determination of Cd in seawater.

Introduction: Manganese-oxidizing bacteria (MOB) play a critical role in converting soluble Mn(II) to insoluble Mn(III/IV) oxides, which have been widely applied for environmental remediation, particularly in heavy metal pollution control. Therefore, the discovery of novel MOB strains is of great significance for advancing pollution mitigation and ecosystem restoration.
Methods: In this study, a manganese-oxidizing bacterial strain was isolated from Mn-contaminated soil near an electroplating factory using selective LB medium supplemented with 10 mmol/L manganese chloride (MnCl), and the Leucoberbelin Blue (LBB) assay was employed to screen and identify strains with strong Mn(II)-oxidation ability.

As key pollinators, bees are increasingly threatened by environmental stressors such as heavy metals, pesticides, and temperature fluctuations, which can cause oxidative stress and disrupt cellular homeostasis. Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) play crucial roles in antioxidant defense and detoxification, yet systematic studies on bee GST families remain limited. Here, we conducted a genome-wide analysis of cytosolic GST genes in 13 bee species, identifying 146 genes in total.

Background: Water contamination is a global challenge, primarily due to heavy metal ions like lead (Pb), iron (Fe), cadmium (Cd), andmercury (Hg) as well as dyes. These pollutants enter the ecosystem from industrial waste and runoff, accumulate in the environment and pose a high risk to humans, animals and plants. Various sensors, such as colorimetric sensors, and electrochemical sensors have been developed to detect these ions and dyes.

Background: Zinc (Zn) and cadmium (Cd) ions are ubiquitous in industrial and daily life. Despite their critical impact on food safety and human health, current probes face significant limitations in simultaneously detecting both ions in complex food matrices.
Results: Herein, we successfully developed a pyrene-based FRET ratiometric fluorescent probe QP for the highly selective detection of Zn and Cd.
