Abstract:

As an important endogenous pollutant, the release of hydrophyte-derived dissolved organic matter (HDOM) significantly increases in eutrophication of water bodies, leading to deterioration of water quality, and posing a threat to ecological environment safety. However, little is known about the molecular composition of HDOM released from the decay of hydrophytes. This work aimed to reveal the release patterns of dissolved organic carbon and dissolved inorganic carbon from four hydrophytes. The further fingerprint characteristics and molecular compositions of the HDOM were analyzed using FT-ICR-MS and UPLC-QTOF-MS. The results revealed that the CHO formula was the major molecular component of HDOM. Based on biochemical categories, the sum of lignins, lipids, and proteins in HDOM was about 80%. Recalcitrant DOM and labile DOM accounted for 62% and 38% of the HDOM, respectively. The difficulty in degrading HDOM was mainly attributed to the recalcitrance of compounds with the CHON formula in lignin. A total of 18 types of organic pollutants were identified using UPLC-QTOF-MS, lipids and lipid-like, organoheterocyclic, and benzenoid compounds accounted for 25, 20, and 19% of HDOM, respectively. In ESI+ and ESI- modes, 170, 235, 175, 420 and 63, 93, 82, 186 organic pollutants were identified in the HDOM from Coontail, Eurasian watermilfoil, Yellow floating-heart, and Lotus, respectively. This research will serve the exploration of potential mechanisms of lake eutrophication and the governance of organic pollutants in the aquatic environment.

What are Biogeochemical Cycles?

What are Biogeochemical Cycles?

The most common elements in organic molecules, carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, and phosphorus, are only available in the ecosystem in limited amounts. Therefore, these nutrients must be recycled through both biotic and abiotic components of the ecosystem, in processes generally called biogeochemical cycles.

Bioremediation

Bioremediation

Bioremediation is the use of prokaryotes, fungi, or plants to remove pollutants from the environment. This process has been used to remove harmful toxins in groundwater as a byproduct of agricultural run-off and also to clean up oil spills.

What is Organic Chemistry?

What is Organic Chemistry?

Organic chemistry is the study of compounds of carbon called organic compounds. Organic compounds either originate from living organisms or are synthesized by chemists. A defining trait of these compounds is the presence of carbon as the principal element, which is bonded to other carbon atoms and other elements such as hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur. The existence of a wide array of organic molecules is a consequence of carbon atoms’ ability to form up to four strong bonds to...

Metabolism of Chemolithotrophs

Metabolism of Chemolithotrophs

Chemolithotrophs are microorganisms that obtain energy by oxidizing inorganic molecules such as hydrogen gas (H₂), ammonia (NH₃), reduced sulfur compounds (H₂S, S²⁻), and ferrous iron (Fe²⁺). Unlike heterotrophic organisms that rely on organic carbon, chemolithotrophs transfer electrons from these inorganic donors to the electron transport chain (ETC), generating a proton motive force (PMF) that drives ATP synthesis through oxidative phosphorylation.

The Carbon Cycle

The Carbon Cycle

Carbon is the basis of all organic matter on Earth, and is recycled through the ecosystem in two primary processes: one in which carbon is exchanged among living organisms, and one in which carbon is cycled over long periods of time through fossilized organic remains, weathering of rocks, and volcanic activity. Human activities, including increased agricultural practices and the burning of fossil fuels, has greatly affected the balance of the natural carbon cycle.

Environmental Applications of Microorganisms

Environmental Applications of Microorganisms

Microorganisms play a pivotal role in maintaining ecosystem balance by recycling essential elements such as carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus, as well as supporting processes like bioremediation, wastewater treatment, and biofuel production.Microbes in Elemental CyclesIn the carbon cycle, microorganisms decompose organic matter, releasing carbon dioxide via aerobic respiration. This carbon dioxide is subsequently used by photosynthetic organisms to synthesize organic compounds, closing the...
