Molecular docking analysis on antifungal properties of acid condensate produced from palm kernel shell

The rise in the number of fungi that resisted antifungal action is of serious concern nowadays. In this study, the potential of acid condensate (AC) produced from microwave-assisted pyrolysis of palm kernel shell (PKS) was investigated for its antifungal properties through molecular docking evaluation. The phenolic-rich AC was determined for its chemical compositions using the GC–MS analysis where compounds with the highest phenolics content were further evaluated (using the Autodock Tools 1.5.7) for its potential enzymes/protein binding properties. From the GC–MS analysis, catechol, guaiacol and syringol were present at highest percentages. This directly correlates with results obtained from the molecular docking works where all these ligands managed to bind (indicated by H-bond, π-stacking, hydrophobic interaction) with some of the amino acid at the active sites which indicate its potential to inhibit substrate binding of this enzyme. As a conclusion, this study demonstrated the potential use of AC from agricultural biomass such as PKS as a natural-based antifungal agent that can reduce environmental and health impacts.

镧对酸雨胁迫下水稻种子可溶性蛋白和脯氨酸含量的影响

分别采用pH值为2.0,2.5,3.0,3.5,4.0,4.5和5.0的模拟酸雨和La(浓度为1mg·l-1)处理水稻种子,测定不同酸雨胁迫下La对水稻种子可溶性蛋白和脯氨酸含量的影响,结果表明,当酸雨胁迫7d时,随胁迫强度的增加(pH5.0-2.0),可溶性蛋白含量逐渐降低,而脯氨酸含量逐渐升高.La可缓解pH5.0-3.0胁迫的伤害;但对pH2.5-2.0无明显防御作用.pH4.0时,解除酸雨胁迫(t=5d,3d)后可溶性蛋白含量即时提升(第6天和第4天),La处理亦可提高可溶性蛋白含量,对脯氨酸含量均无明显影响,pH2.5处理过长时(t≥5d),对水稻种子造成不可逆伤害,可溶性蛋白含量小于对照,而脯氨酸含量大于对照,La处理无明显效应;当酸雨处理3d时,可溶性蛋白与脯氨酸含量均显著大于对照,经La处理后均有所提高,表明La丑对酸雨胁迫下水稻种子萌发有一定防御作用.     

Exogenously applied oxalic acid assists in the phytoremediation of Mn by Polygonum pubescens Blume cultivated in three Mn-contaminated soils

• The OA supply significantly increased the water-extractable Mn in all soils. • All OA supply levels promoted plant growth in unexplored soil. • Low OA supply level promoted plant growth in explored and tailing soils. • OA amendment increased the Mn concentrations and total Mn in P. pubescens. • P. pubescens experienced less Mn stress in unexplored soil than in the other two soils. The current study evaluated the effects of oxalic acid (OA) application on the growth and Mn phytoremediation efficiency of Polygonum pubescens Blume cultivated in three different manganese (Mn)-contaminated soils sampled from an unexplored area (US), an explored area (ES) and a tailing area (TS) of the Ertang Mn mine, South China. The supplied levels of OA were 0 (control), 1 (low level), 3 (medium level), and 9 (high level) mmol/kg, referred to as CK, OA1, OA3 and OA9, respectively. The results revealed that the average water-extractable Mn concentrations US, ES and TS amended with OA increased by 214.13, 363.77 and 266.85%, respectively. All OA supply levels increased plant growth and Mn concentrations in US. The low OA supply level increased plant growth in ES and TS; however, contrasting results were found for the medium and high OA supply levels. Plant Mn concentrations and total Mn increased in ES and TS in response to all OA supply levels. Total Mn in the aerial parts increased by 81.18, 44.17 and 83.17% in US, ES and TS, respectively; the corresponding percentages for the whole plants were 81.53, 108.98 and 77.91%, respectively. The rate of ·O₂⁻ production and malondialdehyde (MDA) concentrations increased in response to OA amendment, especially the medium and high OA supply levels in ES and TS. In general, antioxidant enzymes might play a vital role in alleviating Mn stress in plants cultivated in US, while non-enzymatic antioxidants might be the main factor for plants cultivated in ES and TS.     

柠檬酸与磷共存对土壤吸附镉的影响

以武汉市棕红壤为研究材料,采用室内培养和等温平衡吸附实验,研究了磷和柠檬酸共存下对土壤吸附镉的影响;并模拟干湿交替实验,通过BCR连续提取,研究了不同剂量磷和柠檬酸处理后,经多次干湿交替后镉的形态变化.结果表明,经10 mg·L^-1 CdCl₂溶液处理后的土壤胶体,添加较低质量浓度（40 mg·L^-1）的磷对其吸附镉的影响不明显,而添加磷质量浓度较高（80 mg·L^-1）时可显著提高其对镉的吸附,吸附量较CK处理增加78 g·kg^-1,吸附率提高7.89%;向经40 mg·L^-1磷溶液处理过的土壤胶体中加入柠檬酸,可减弱其对镉吸附,且随柠檬酸浓度增高,抑制效果增加,而且对低剂量磷（40 mg·L^-1）处理的土壤胶体抑制作用更明显,加入1 mmol·L^-1与5 mmol·L^-1柠檬酸后,土壤胶体对镉的吸附率分别降低了30.89%与40.97%;而当磷处理质量浓度较高时,柠檬酸的影响则不显著.周期性的干湿交替显著促进土壤中镉由弱酸提取态及可还原态向可氧化态及残渣态的转变,即磷钝化的镉在柠檬酸的影响下,随干湿交替次数的增加,镉的有效性降低.
