Article Abstract
Nitrite is a carcinogenic substance in food. Excessive consumption of nitrite severely endangers human health. However, rapid and accurate quantification of nitrite by a simple tool is still very challenging. In this work, we designed a practical sensing platform based on 8-(o-phenylenediamine)-boron dipyrromethene (BDP-OPD) to determine nitrite in food. BDP-OPD can take a specific diazotization-cyclization cascade reaction with nitrite to form boron dipyrromethene (BODIPY), giving rise to a remarkable chromogenic reaction along with high contrast fluorescence turn-on response towards nitrite. BDP-OPD has high sensitivity, rapid response, and good selectivity. Furthermore, a portable smartphone-based fluorescence device integrated with a self-programmed Python program was fabricated, which has been successfully used to determine nitrite in food with the advantages of rapid response, low cost, ease of operation, portability, and satisfactory recoveries (92-112%). The good sensing performance rendered BDP-OPD a promising fluorescence platform for on-site visual detection of nitrite.

Rivers reflect natural-anthropogenic interactions, yet how urbanization affects riverine bacterial communities along rural-urban gradients is poorly understood. This study examined bacterial diversity and assembly mechanisms along such a gradient of river sediments. Results showed that bacterial diversity significantly decreased with increasing urban influence.

We recently demonstrated a rapid reaction between labile ferric heme and nitric oxide (NO) in the presence of reduced glutathione (GSH) or other small thiols in a process called thiol-catalyzed reductive nitrosylation, yielding a novel signaling molecule, labile nitrosyl ferrous heme (NO-ferroheme), which we and others have shown can regulate vasodilation and platelet homeostasis. Red blood cells (RBCs) contain high concentrations of GSH, and NO can be generated in the RBC via nitrite reduction and/or RBC endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) so that NO-ferroheme could, in principle, be formed in the RBC. NO-ferroheme may also form in other cells and compartments, including in plasma, where another small and reactive thiol species, hydrogen sulfide (HS/HS), is also present and may catalyze NO-ferroheme formation akin to GSH.

Effective nitrogen management is critical for minimizing environmental risks in municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills. In-situ aeration has emerged as a practical strategy to accelerate waste stabilization and improve nitrogen stabilization. However, the role of fungi in regulating nitrogen transformation processes-particularly nitrification-remains insufficiently understood.
