Article Abstract
Biosurfactants, amphiphilic secondary metabolites mainly produced by microorganisms, can be categorized into five groups according to their chemical structure and source: glycolipids, lipopeptides, phospholipids, polymeric biosurfactants, and particulate surfactants. The hydrophobic segments of biosurfactants typically contain fatty acids of varying chain lengths, while their hydrophilic portions display a wide range of diversity. Diverse biosurfactants have distinct metabolic pathways. Glycolipids are usually associated with glycolysis/gluconeogenesis and fatty acid metabolism, while lipopeptides are closely connected to non-ribosomal peptide synthetase. Particulate biosurfactants are formed through the anabolic pathway of phospholipids, with amino acid metabolism and carbohydrate metabolism being crucial components in the process of creating polar head groups. Metal ions are critical for either directly influencing strain growth or governing genes connected to biosurfactants production. This review explores the synthesis pathways of various biosurfactants and examines the influence of different metal ions on their production.

Copper ions are essential elements in the human body and participate in various physiological activities in the bodies of organisms. Herein, an ultrasensitive electrochemical biosensor was developed for detection of copper ions (Cu) based on FeO@Au magnetic nanoparticles (FeO@Au MNPs) and a Cu-dependent DNAzyme assisted nicking endonuclease signal amplification (NESA) strategy. dsDNA is formed by a hybridization reaction between DNA S2 and S1 immobilized on the surface of FeO@Au MNPs.

Mercury(II) ions (Hg) are one of the most common and highly toxic heavy metal ions, which can contaminate the environment and damage the human health. Therefore, the precise detection of trace Hg concentration is particularly important. Herein, gold nanoparticles-enhanced silver-coated hollow fiber (HF) surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor was developed for the highly sensitive detection of Hg ions.

The scalable fabrication of high performance dyes desalination loose nanofiltration (LNF) membrane through facile thermal annealing remains challenging due to the susceptible pore collapse. Herein, we have developed a metal ion mediated sub-Tg thermal crosslinking protocol, which can convert the phase inverted reactive polymeric ultrafiltration substrate into LNF membrane showing high permselectivity as well as resistance to both extremely acid and alkaline solution. The original ultrafiltration substrate was composed of scalable-produced reactive polyarylene ether amidoxime (PEA) that was pre-crosslinked with ferric ions.

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.
