Understanding the residue fate of new pesticides in crops is essential to ensure their safe use and to safeguard human health. The present study examined the dissipation, metabolism, processing factors (PFs) and risk assessment of fluxapyroxad, oxathiapiprolin and penthiopyrad in grapes from field to raisins. The half-lives of the three pesticides in grapes ranged from 9.00 to 12.60 days following first-order kinetics. PAM, a penthiopyrad metabolite, was detected in grapes at 28.10-51.37 μg/kg. Most pesticide residues were concentrated in raisins during sun, shade and oven drying of fresh grapes (PF range, 0.70-2.39, most >1). In contrast, peeling and washing removed different amounts of pesticide residues from grapes (PF range, 0.27-0.81). Results of chronic and acute dietary risk assessments suggest that dietary exposure to the selected pesticides from grapes does not pose a human health concern. This study offers reliable guidance for the rational use of these pesticides in grape plantations.

In this study a methodology to elucidate metabolic interactions that enhance hydrogen (H) production in cocultures under nongrowing conditions is presented. Core metabolic models of Rhodopseudomonas palustris and Clostridium butyricum were integrated to perform a multispecies metabolic flux analysis (mMFA), constrained by experimentally measured yields. Flux distributions were clustered, and thermodynamically favorable solutions were identified.

Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) have garnered attention for their renewable and reactive nature, yet CNC allomorph II (CNC-II) remains underexplored compared to the extensively studied CNC-I. This study bridges this gap by introducing a two-step carboxylamine condensation strategy to conjugate poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) onto CNC-II via ethylenediamine, leveraging the high topochemical reactivity of CNC-II. Utilizing bicarboxylate-capped PEG as a probe, quartz crystal microbalance with energy dissipation (QCM-D) assays revealed a significant reactivity increase of 16.

Floral thermogenesis in lotus (Nelumbo nucifera) is a highly energy-intensive process, requiring substantial metabolic reconfiguration and substrate input. However, the mechanisms coordinating energy substrate supply during this process remain unclear. Here, we integrated microscale proteomics, time-series transcriptomics, and mitochondrial feeding assays to elucidate the substrate provisioning strategies supporting thermogenesis in lotus receptacles.

The stability of microbial communities within sewer systems is essential for maintaining effluent quality and infrastructure longevity. However, the functional consequences of viral interactions with biofilms remain poorly characterised. This study examines the effects of bacteriophage MS2 adsorption on biofilm structure, metabolism, and pathogenic potential in a simulated 1 km sewer pipeline.

Intracerebroventricular (ICV) injection of taurine can induce hypothermia and attenuate stress behaviors in neonatal chicks under control thermoneutral temperature (CT) conditions. While, its ability to withstand heat stress (thermotolerance) has not identified yet. Thus, the objective of this study was to examine the effects of ICV taurine effects on thermoregulation, mitochondrial thermogenic gene expression, and amino acid metabolism in 5-day-old Julia male chick exposed to either high ambient temperature (HT) or CT conditions.
