AB  - Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a group of synthetic chemicals that have been widely used in various industrial and consumer products due to their unique properties, such as oil and water repellency, thermal stability, and durability. However, the persistence and mobility of these chemicals in the environment have raised concerns about their potential adverse effects on human health and the environment. PFAS have been detected on a global scale in various environmental media, such as soil, water, air, and biota. As a country undergoing economic development and transition, Serbia faces the challenge of managing and addressing the PFAS contamination in its environment. This challenge requires a comprehensive and science-based strategy that can effectively reduce the exposure and risks of PFAS to human health and the environment. This document aims to provide a scientific strategy for solving the PFAS challenge in Serbia. Firstly, it is important to acknowledge that PFAS are persistent and bioaccumulative in the environment, which means that they do not break down easily and can accumulate in the food chain, posing a long-term risk to human health and the environment. Therefore, a precautionary approach is necessary to minimize the exposure and risks of PFAS. International experience and cooperation are very important for developing an effective scientifc strategy for addressing the PFAS challenge in Serbia. PFAS are a global issue, and many countries have already implemented measures to manage and reduce the exposure and risks of PFAS. Therefore, it is important to draw on international experience and best practices when developing the strategy for Serbia. International experience can provide valuable insights into the sources, pathways, and fate of PFAS, as well as the e"ectiveness of various risk management measures. For example, the United States, Canada, and some European countries have established regulatory frameworks for PFAS, which can serve as a model for Serbia. Other countries have implemented remediation measures for contaminated sites, which can provide valuable insights for selecting appropriate remediation technologies in Serbia. Moreover, international experience can provide access to the latest scientific knowledge, methods, and technologies for assessing and managing PFAS contamination. For example, international organizations such as the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) have developed guidance documents and tools for assessing and managing PFAS contamination. The scientific strategy for solving the PFAS challenge in Serbia is based on a thorough understanding of the sources, pathways, and fate of PFAS in the environment. It is also based on a comprehensive and systematic approach, including risk assessment, monitoring, regulation, remediation, and communication. This strategy is tailored to the specific context and needs of Serbia. It is based on the latest scientifc knowledge and practical experience from other countries and regions, focusing on the European Union, USA, China and Japan. The cultural, social, economic, and political factors can affect the implementation and effectiveness of the strategy, and therefore, the strategy is developed through a collaborative and participatory process involving stakeholders from different sectors and levels. The international experience provided helpful guidance and lessons learned, but ultimately, the strategy is based on local knowledge, priorities, and capacities. By implementing this strategy, we aim to contribute to that Serbia can protect its citizens and environment from the potential harm of PFAS and achieve sustainable development.

AB  - The problem of wastewater has long been ubiquitous and has great consequences for the environment and its inhabitants. Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) have enormous potential for the treatment of wastewaters polluted with azo dyes. The amount of energy that can be produced from a single-chamber MFC is sufficient to perform decolorization and degradation of such dyes, which are widely used in the textile industry. This study on the azo dye, reactive black 5 (RB5), provides an alternative method through three parallel-connected MFCs to obtain electricity that directly serves for the dye’s electrochemical degradation. We examined degradation followed by decolorization of RB5 using Fe and Pt electrodes, together with H2O2, to achieve the electro-Fenton process. The amount of voltage produced (295 mV), the current density (276 mA m−3) and the power density (50 mW m−3) were sufficient to degrade 25 mg L-1 RB5 dye with 0.5 mM H2O2 in just 2 h. The dye degradation mechanism was investigated using UV–VIS, FT-IR and HPLC-MS/MS. The ecotoxicity of the degradation products was assessed using a bacterial model, Aliivibrio fischeri. These tests showed that there was successful degradation of the dye to products whose toxicity is less than that of RB5.

AB  - This study aimed to determine the qualitative variability of essential oils of mountain germander – Teucrium
montanum L. (Lamiaceae) at the population level, depending on the type of geological substrate. Ten samples of
essential oils originated from aerial plant parts of populations from calcareous and ten from serpentinite were
tested by GCxGC-MS method. The obtained results showed that the serpentinite populations have more than 3
times higher essential oil yield than calcareous populations. Based on the average values for the relative percentage amounts of T. montanum essential oils, it was shown that the sesquiterpenes (34.89%) are the main
compounds in analyzed essential oils. Population from calcareous habitats synthesize twice as many aliphatic
hydrocarbons than populations from serpentinite habitats, while populations from serpentinite habitats synthesize twice as much mono- and sesquiterpenes. The compounds with highest relative percentage amounts in
calcareous populations was the hydrocarbon tetracosane (9.02%), while in serpentinite populations it was
oxygenated sesquiterpene, limonen-10-ol (4.81%). Compounds which were only detected for calcareous populations are: dodecane and isophytol, while for serpentinite populations are: 3-caren-2-ol, carvone oxide and
pyronene. The obtained results indicate a significant influence of the habitat geological substrate on the qualitative characteristics of the T. montanum essential oil. Differentiation of calcareous and serpentinite populations
into two distinct groups based on the essential oil composition indicate the significant presence of specific
chemotypes developed by the influence of various edaphic characteristics.

AB  - The characterization and cleanup of groundwater contamination in hazardous-waste sites are of significant engineering and scientific importance. This study analyzes biodegradation fingerprints in groundwater, 25 years after the accidental leakage of kerosene (jet fuel) at the site in central Serbia. The long-term existence of hydrocarbon contamination and the presence of indigenous microbiological populations capable of biodegradation have been confirmed by the results of GCxGC-MS chromatography and microbiological characterization. Total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH), geochemical indicators, and other parameters were spatially analyzed to provide insight into biodegradation occurrence. The lowest concentrations of electron acceptors (O2, NO3-, and SO42-) and the highest concentrations of microbial metabolic products (Mn and Fe) overlap in the piezometers closest to the source of contamination, due to the occurrence of different biodegradation mechanisms. Based on the analysis of redox-sensitive compounds, the mixed oxic-anoxic processes in groundwater also correspond to the aforementioned zone, as confirmed by the redox potential (Eh) measurements. The results of cross-study analysis reveal further reduction of hydrocarbon contamination, the occurrence of less anoxic redox processes, and the increase of oxic conditions in groundwater. Overall, the results provide clear evidence of the biodegradation effects in groundwater and insight into their evolution under natural attenuation processes.

AB  - Microwave assisted synthesis of polyaniline modified by pullulan (PANI/Pull) composite wasperformed by aniline oxidation with potassium iodate. The PANI/Pull composite was characterizedusing ATR-FTIR technique. FTIR spectra confirm presence of both components in PANI/Pullcomposite. Antimicrobial evaluation of PANI/Pull material performed by using a qualitative diskdiffusion method on Candida albicans (C. albicans) culture showed very high sensitivity toPANI/Pull composite. Observed FTIR and antifungal activity represent a promising results especiallyfor potential biomedical applications of PANI/Pull composite.

AB  - Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is widely used material and as such became highly enriched in nature. It is generally considered inert and safe plastic, but due to the recent increased efforts to break-down PET using biotechnological approaches, we realized the scarcity of information about structural analysis of possible degradation products and their ecotoxicological assessment. Therefore, in this study, 11 compounds belonging to the group of PET precursors and possible degradation products have been comprehensively characterized. Seven of these compounds including 1-(2-hydroxyethyl)-4-methylterephthalate, ethylene glycol bis(methyl terephthalate), methyl bis(2-hydroxyethyl terephtahalate), 1,4-benzenedicarboxylic acid, 1,4-bis[2-[[4-(methoxycarbonyl)benzoyl]oxy]ethyl] ester and methyl tris(2-hydroxyethyl terephthalate) corresponding to mono-, 1.5-, di-, 2,5- and trimer of PET were synthetized and structurally characterized for the first time. In-silico druglikeness and physico-chemical properties of these compounds were predicted using variety of platforms. No antimicrobial properties were detected even at 1000 μg/mL. Ecotoxicological impact of the compounds against marine bacteria Allivibrio fischeri proved that the 6 out of 11 tested PET-associated compounds may be classified as harmful to aquatic microorganisms, with PET trimer being one of the most toxic. In comparison, most of the compounds were not toxic on human lung fibroblasts (MRC-5) at 200 μg/mL with inhibiting concentration (IC50) values of 30 μg/mL and 50 μg/mL determined for PET dimer and trimer. Only three of these compounds including PET monomer were toxic to nematode Caenorhabditis elegans at high concentration of 500 μg/mL. In terms of the applicative potential, PET dimer can be used as suitable substrate for the screening, identification and characterization of novel PET-depolymerizing enzymes.

AB  - BACKGROUND: Pectin is a complex polysaccharide, present in fresh and processed food as an additive, which also serves as an important source of fiber. In this work, the aim was to investigate in-vitro application of apple pectin as a possible antimicrobial, antioxidant and prebiotic agent for growth of bacteria selected from human milk and infant feces, as well as standard strains Lactobacillus rhamnosus and Bifidobacterium bifidum.
METHODS : All the bacteria isolated from the milk of mothers of preterm and term-born infants, bacteria from infant feces and standard strains were tested for fermentation of apple pectin as the main carbohydrate in selective broth media.
RESULTS: An increase in the growth of bacteria Bifidobacteria, Lactobacillus, and a consortium of bacteria selected from human milk and infant feces was noticed after pectin fermentation. It was found that pectin has a positive impact on the increase of the antioxidant capacity in all the tested samples. A high correlation was achieved, comparing electrochemical with spectrophotometric methods. Antimicrobial tests showed that pectin and fermentation products have slight or no influence at all on the growth of standard strains of Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans.
CONCLUSIONS: The results showed the importance of pectin as an antioxidant and its impact on the development of potential probiotic microbiota in mothers and infants. The study indicated a new potential application of pectin as a supplement in infant food.

AB  - Cerium oxide nanoparticles (nCeO2) have widespread applications, but they can be hazardous to the environment. Some reports indicate the toxic effect of nCeO2 on tested animals, but literature data are mainly contradictory. Coating of nCeO2 can improve their suspension stability and change their interaction with the environment, which can consequently decrease their toxic effects. Herein, the exopolysaccharides levan and pullulan, due to their high water solubility, biocompatibility, and ability to form film, were used to coat nCeO2. Additionally, the monosaccharide glucose was used, since it is a common material for nanoparticle coating. This is the first study investigating the impact of carbohydrate-coated nCeO2 in comparison to uncoated nCeO2 using different model organisms. The aim of this study was to test the acute toxicity of carbohydrate-coated nCeO2 on the bacterium Vibrio fischeri NRRL B-11177, the crustacean Daphnia magna, and zebrafish Danio rerio. The second aim was to investigate the effects of nCeO2 on respiration in Daphnia magna which was performed for the first time. Finally, it was important to see the relation between Ce bioaccumulation in Daphnia magna and Danio rerio and other investigated parameters. Our results revealed that the coating decreased the toxicity of nCeO2 on Vibrio fischeri. The coating of nCeO2 did not affect the nanoparticles’ accumulation/adsorption or mortality in Daphnia magna or Danio rerio. Monitoring of respiration in Daphnia magna revealed changes in CO2 production after exposure to coated nCeO2, while the crustacean's O2 consumption was not affected by any of the coated nCeO2. In summary, this study revealed that, at 200 mg L−1, uncoated and carbohydrate-coated nCeO2 are not toxic for the tested organisms, however, the CO2 production in Daphnia magna is different when they are treated with coated and uncoated nCeO2. The highest production was in glucose and levan-coated nCeO2 according to their highest suspension stability. Daphnia magna (D. magna), Danio rerio (D. rerio), Vibrio fischeri (V. fischeri)

AB  - Introduction: Global worldwide population and urbanization in general have created an increasing need for new energy sources. These sources need to be renewable, but it is also very important to respect the principles of environmental protection. Microbial fuel cells (MFC) are a green technology that is attracting more and more attention in the last decade. MFC presents a system which produces electrical current through metabolic processes of microorganisms such is the decomposition of organic matter. In this process chemical energy is directly converted into electrical energy [1-3]. The performance of MFC depends on several factors: temperature, the composition of the sediment, the material from which the electrodes are made, but certainly, one of the prominent factors is the activity of a microbial community. In this paper, efficiency of two MFC systems will be compared to obtain the highest current and power generation. One of them contains only river sediment as a source of microorganisms, while the other was biostimulated by microorganisms isolated from the same river sediment [2-3]. Methods: The river sediment was placed between a set of inox electrodes in a plastic container, with a total volume of 201 cm3  (MFC I). The second MFC (MFC II) was made in the same way, but a consortium of microorganisms, Clostridium sp., Bacillus sp. and Tepidibacter sp. isolated from the river sediment was added to the sediment. The set of resistors already established in our previous studies were used for the measurement of the amount of voltage, which was then used to obtained the values of current and power [4]. Results: After five days of measuring the generated voltage via MFC I and II, the results for current and power density were obtained. In MFC I, the highest current density was recorded on the fifth day and was 76 mA/ m3  while the power was 1.5 mW/m3 . With MFC II, the results were visibly higher, where the current was increased three times (up to 210 mA/m3 ), and the power by as much as 4 times higher compared to the results of MFC I (6 mW/m3 ). Conclusion: Results show that MFC I has lower values than the sediment stimulated by a consortium of microorganisms in the MFC II. The community of microorganisms greatly contributes to improving the performance of the sediment itself, by generating more power density.

AB  - Copper is one of the leading metal pollutants in the water, which can cause adverse effects when present in high concentrations. The Daphnia magna is a model organism usually used for the determination of ecotoxicological effects of various compounds since it is highly sensitive to toxic compounds [1]. The aim of this work was to investigate the potential application of microbial extracellular polysaccharides (EPS), levan and pullulan, as agents for reducing the copper toxicity to D. magna. The protective effects of EPS were estimated based on the accumulation of copper in the D. magna cells. Levan is a branched fructane EPS [2] and the one used in this study was produced by Bacillus licheniformis NS032. Pullulan, a linear glucan EPS [3], was produced by Aureobasidium pullulans CH-1. The D. magna were exposed to 50 µg/dm3  of Cu (II) or a combination with 50 mg/dm3  and 100 mg/dm3  of levan or pullulan for 48h in the acute test. Additionally, the prolonged test was performed, where the daphnia were exposed to a 10 µg/dm3  of Cu (II) with or without 50 mg/ dm3  of levan or pullulan for 5 days. After the exposure period, the samples were digested and the accumulation of copper in D. magna was analysed using the iCAP Qc ICP-MS (Thermo Scientific, United Kingdom). The results showed that animals exposed to Cu (II) only, accumulated Cu (II) in a greater amount after the prolonged test compared to the acute one, despite the lower concentration. The treatment with EPS during the acute test increased the copper accumulation for both EPS concentrations tested, whereas during the prolonged exposure test, the Cu (II) accumulation was inhibited. Considering that protective effects of levan and pullulan were observed only with lower copper concentrations and 5 days of exposure, additional experiments are necessary to determine the mechanism of EPS action in order to confirm their possible use as protective agents.

AB  - Cilj prikazanog istraživanja je utvrđivanje kvalitativne varijabilnosti i relativne zastupljenosti seskviterpenskih ugljovodonika u uzorcima vrste Teucrium montanum L. prikupljenih sa dva različita tipa podloge. Četiri uzorka etarskih ulja sa serpentinita i četiri sa krečnjaka dobijeno je metodom hidrodestilacije od nadzemnihbiljnih delova. Na osnovu rezultata, pokazano je da populacije sa serpentinitskih staništa sintetišu 2 puta više seskviterpena nego sa krečnjačkih, dok je jedinjenje 6-epi-β-kubeben detektovan samo u populacijama sa krečnjaka. Edafske karakteristikestaništa utiču na kvalitativni sastav i relativnu zastupljenost seskviterpena u etarskim uljima što ima značajnu primenu u biotehnologiji.
AB  - The aim of this study is to determine the qualitative variability and relative presence of sesquiterpene hydrocarbons in essential oils samples of Teucrium montanum L. collected from two different substrate types. Four samples of essential oils from serpentinite and four from calcareous were obtained by the method of hydrodistillation from aboveground plant parts. Based on the results, it was shown that populations from serpentinite habitats synthesize 2 times more sesquiterpenes than from calcareous ones, while the compound 6-epi-β-cubeben was detected only in populations from calcareous. Edaphic characteristics of habitats affect the qualitative composition and relative presence of sesquiterpenes in essential oils, which has a significant application in biotechnology.

Na osnovu rezultata, pokazano je da populacije sa serpentinitskih staništa sintetišu 2 puta više seskviterpena nego sa krečnjačkih, dok je jedinjenje 6-epi-β-kubeben detektovan samo u populacijama sa krečnjaka. Edafske karakteristikestaništa utiču na kvalitativni sastav i relativnu zastupljenost seskviterpena u etarskim uljima što ima značajnu primenu u biotehnologiji., The aim of this study is to determine the qualitative variability and relative presence of sesquiterpene hydrocarbons in essential oils samples of Teucrium montanum L. collected from two different substrate types. Four samples of essential oils from serpentinite and four from calcareous were obtained by the method of hydrodistillation from aboveground plant parts. Based on the results, it was shown that populations from serpentinite habitats synthesize 2 times more sesquiterpenes than from calcareous ones, while the compound 6-epi-β-cubeben was detected only in populations from calcareous. Edaphic characteristics of habitats affect the qualitative composition and relative presence of sesquiterpenes in essential oils, which has a significant application in biotechnology.",

AB  - Pseudomonas aeruginosa san ai, an alkaliphilic, metallotolerant bacterium, degraded individual selected petroleum compounds, i.e., n-alkanes (n-hexadecane, n-nonadecane) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (fluorene, phenanthrene, pyrene) with efficiency of 80%, 98%, 96%, 50% and 41%, respectively, at initial concentrations of 20 mg L−1 and in seven days. P. aeruginosa san ai showed a high biodegradative capacity on complex hydrocarbon mixtures, the aliphatic and aromatic fractions from crude oil. The efficiency of P. aeruginosa san ai degradation of crude oil fractions in seven days reached stage 3–4 of the oil biodegradation scale, which ranges from 0 (no biodegradation) to 10 (maximum biodegradation). Identified metabolites concomitant with genomic and enzymatic data indicated the terminal oxidation pathway for the n-alkane degradation, and the salicylate and phthalate pathways for fluorene biodegradation. Polyextremophilic P. aeruginosa san ai, as a biosurfactant producer with multidegradative capacity for hydrocarbons, can be used in an improved strategy for environmental bioremediation of hydrocarbon-contaminated sites, including extreme habitats characterized by low or elevated temperatures, acidic or alkaline pH or high concentrations of heavy metals.

AB  - Environmental pollution is a global problem, while bioremediation technology removes pollutants from the environment using microorganisms. This study was aimed at investigating how a bioremediation process affected soil humification. In soil polluted with petroleum and its derivatives that was submitted to bioremediation, besides the total petroleum hydrocarbons and the number of microorganisms, quantitative and qualitative changes of isolated humic acids were determined during the process. The bioremediation of 150 m3 of polluted soil lasted 150 days. The level of total petroleum hydrocarbons decreased by 86.6 %, while the level of humic acids increased by 26.5 %. The elemental analysis showed the reduction of C and the H/C ratio and the increase of O and the O/C ratio of isolated humic acids during the process. The ratio of absorbencies at 465 and 665 nm also increased. Based on this and the Fourier-transform infrared spectra, it was shown that the humic acids isolated at the end of bioremediation were enriched with oxygen functional groups and aromatic structures. This study provides one of the first insights into the relationship between bioremediation and humification, as well as evidence of how hydrocarbon-degrading microorganisms have a significant influence on changes to humic acid structure during bioremediation.

AB  - Grape pomace (GP) from Vitis labrusca, the main byproduct from “American table wine” production, is recalcitrant to degradation, and its accumulation is a serious problem with negative environmental impacts. In this work, transformation of grape pomace using a steam pretreatment followed by incubation of GP during a 90-day period with six different fungi were evaluated. Several fungi tested reduced the phytotoxicity of water-soluble fraction (WSFd) from steam-pretreated GP after 90 days’ incubation to lettuce and tomato seeds. U. botrytis caused the largest effective phytotoxicity reduction of WSFd (used in the concentration range of 10–1.25% p/v) and was the only fungus causing the removal of monoaromatic compounds. Therefore, this procedure with U. botrytis effectively reduces the availability of phytotoxic monoaromatic compounds in GP, which opens a way for the development of guidelines for the management of these wastes and their potential use as organic amendments in agricultural soil.

abstract = "Grape pomace (GP) from Vitis labrusca, the main byproduct from “American table wine” production, is recalcitrant to degradation, and its accumulation is a serious problem with negative environmental impacts. In this work, transformation of grape pomace using a steam pretreatment followed by incubation of GP during a 90-day period with six different fungi were evaluated. Several fungi tested reduced the phytotoxicity of water-soluble fraction (WSFd) from steam-pretreated GP after 90 days’ incubation to lettuce and tomato seeds. U. botrytis caused the largest effective phytotoxicity reduction of WSFd (used in the concentration range of 10–1.25% p/v) and was the only fungus causing the removal of monoaromatic compounds. Therefore, this procedure with U. botrytis effectively reduces the availability of phytotoxic monoaromatic compounds in GP, which opens a way for the development of guidelines for the management of these wastes and their potential use as organic amendments in agricultural soil.",

AB  - Petroleum hydrocarbons and agricultural lignocellulosic waste are some of themost common environmental pollutants. They have a very complex structure and arecomposed of a large number of different aromatic compounds that have toxic effects.The aim of this dissertation was to study the degradation of complex aromaticmixtures, namely diesel fuel D2 aromatic fraction (AFD) and grape pomace obtainedfrom the winemaking process. For the biodegradation analysis, comprehensive twodimensionalgas chromatography-mass spectrometry was used (GCxGC-MS).Compared with conventional gas chromatography, this technique has a greaterseparation resolution, thus, it is more successful in the analysis of complex mixtures...

AB  - The analysis of the electric, magnetic and electromagnetic fields influence on microorganisms is a very popular research topic, since these fields could potentially act as stressors and affect the microbial metabolism and survival. The aim of this work was to investigate the influence of the low frequency magnetic field (MF) with scan regime from 10 Hz to 50 Hz on S. cerevisiae respiration. The experiment was performed in five replicates and monitored using the Micro-Oxymax® respirometer. All five experiments showed lower cumulative O2 consumption in MF exposed samples, compared to the control sample and inconsistent cumulative CO2 production. However, these differences in O2 consumption and CO2 production were statistically significant. Even though additional experiments are necessary, these results strongly suggest that this is a good basis for further investigation in this field.
AB  - Ispitivanje uticaja električnog, magnetnog i elektromagnetnog polja na mikroorganizme jeveoma aktuelni predmet istrazivanja, jer ova fizička polja potencijalno deluju kao faktoristresa i tako utiču na mikrobni metabolizam, ponašanje i preživljavanje. U ovom raduispitivan je uticaj niskofrekventnog magnetnog polja (MP) sa konstantnim intervalomskeniranja od 10 do 50 Hz na respiraciju ćelija kvasca, S. cerevisiae. Eksperiment je rađen upet ponavljanja i praćen Micro-Oxymax® respirometrom. Kumulativna potrošnja kiseonikaje bila manja kod ćelija izloženih MP u svih pet ponavljanja, dok je produkcija CO2 bilanekonzistentna. Međutim, ove razlike u potrošnji O2 i produkciji CO2 su statistički značajne.Iako su dodatna ispitivanja neophodna, dobijeni rezultati ovih inicijalnih eksperimenatapredstavljaju dobru osnovu za dalja istraživanja u ovoj oblasti.
