Discrimination of mercury, cadmium and lead polluted rice leaves based on near infrared spectroscopy technology by ZHANG Long, PAN Jiarong, ZHU Cheng

“…Rice is an important food crop in world, the rice polluted with heavy metal is seriously harmful to people's health. There are many methods to detect the heavy metal, such as inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometer (ICP-AES), inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES), atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS), X ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRF), atomic fluorescence spectrometry (AFS) and so on. …”

RETRACTED: Assessing Mercury Contamination Levels in the Sediments of Two Pyrenean Lakes by Cristian Yoel Quintero-Castañeda, Luis Roberto Hernández-Angulo, Daniel Tobón-Vélez, Anamaría Franco-Leyva, María Margarita Sierra-Carrillo

“…Sediment samples were collected using a Hon-Kajak Sediment Corer, and mercury concentrations were measured following the EPA 7473 method with a direct mercury analyzer (DMA-80). Mercury levels reached up to 283 ng g⁻¹ in the Legunabens lake and up to 110 ng g⁻¹ in the Labant lake, possibly linked to the mining history of the Ariège department and atmospheric deposition from distant sources. …”

Whole-genome sequencing and genomic analysis of four Akkermansia strains newly isolated from human feces by Wenjing Lu, Biqing Zha, Jie Lyu, Chenxi LingHu, Jing Chen, Sisi Deng, Xiangling Zhang, Liang Li, Guoqing Wang

“…Consequently, current genome mining efforts are insufficient to fully capture the intraspecific and interspecific characteristics of Akkermansia, necessitating continuous exploration of the genomic and phenotypic diversity of new isolates.MethodsBased on this finding, we sequenced, assembled, and functionally annotated the whole genomes of four new human isolates from our laboratory: AKK-HX001, AKK-HX002, AKK-HX003, and AKK-HX004.ResultsPhylogenetic analysis revealed that all four isolates belonged to the AmII phylogroup, whereas the type strain DSM 22959 is classified within the AmI phylogroup. …”
