Two-Dimensional Ti3C2Tx MXene Nanosheets for Efficient Copper Removal from Water

Abstract: The performance of two-dimensional (2D) Ti3C2Tx MXene nanosheets in the adsorption and copper removal from aqueous media was investigated. Delaminated (DL)-Ti3C2Tx exhibited excellent Cu removal ability, because of their large specific surface area, hydrophilicity, and unique surface functional properties. Scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy-dispersive spectroscopy (SEM–EDS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses were performed to analyze the structural changes in Ti3C2Tx MXene and its interaction with Cu ions. Oxygenated moieties in the layered structure of MXene facilitated reductive adsorption of Cu2+ forming Cu2O and CuO species. DL-Ti3C2Tx exhibited a higher and faster Cu uptake, compared to multilayer (ML)-Ti3C2Tx. The maximum experimental adsorption capacity (Qexp,max) was 78.45 mg g–1, and 80% of the total content of metal ions was adsorbed within 1 min. A pseudo-second-order k...

A Review of the Microbial Production of Bioactive Natural Products and Biologics.

Abstract: A variety of organisms, such as bacteria, fungi, and plants, produce secondary metabolites, also known as natural products. Natural products have been a prolific source and an inspiration for numerous medical agents with widely divergent chemical structures and biological activities, including antimicrobial, immunosuppressive, anticancer, and anti-inflammatory activities, many of which have been developed as treatments and have potential therapeutic applications for human diseases. Aside from natural products, the recent development of recombinant DNA technology has sparked the development of a wide array of biopharmaceutical products, such as recombinant proteins, offering significant advances in treating a broad spectrum of medical illnesses and conditions. Herein, we will introduce the structures and diverse biological activities of natural products and recombinant proteins that have been exploited as valuable molecules in medicine, agriculture and insect control. In addition, we will explore past and ongoing efforts along with achievements in the development of robust and promising microorganisms as cell factories to produce biologically active molecules. Furthermore, we will review multi-disciplinary and comprehensive engineering approaches directed at improving yields of microbial production of natural products and proteins and generating novel molecules. Throughout this article, we will suggest ways in which microbial-derived biologically active molecular entities and their analogs could continue to inspire the development of new therapeutic agents in academia and industry.
