Abstract Organic UV-filters, including 4-hydroxybenzophenone (4-HBP) and 2,4-dihydroxybenzophenone (BP-1), are persistent emerging contaminants whose presence in the environment poses a threat to aquatic organisms due to their endocrine disruptor’s properties. For this reason, finding suitable technological processes for their safety and efficient removal from the environment represent a priority for the scientific community. To the author’s knowledge, until now, there are no studies reporting the biodegradation of 4-HBP and BP-1 by a single bacteria strain. In this paper, there were tested the 4-HBP and BP-1 biodegradation potential of two Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus and Enterococcus faecalis) and two Gram-negative (Salmonella typhimurium and Serratia rubidae). The 4-HPB biodegradation process was observed only in the presence of Gram-negative bacterial strains. Thus, the biodegradation rates of 4-HBP reached up to 12.7% after 24h of incubation in presence of Salmonella thyphimurium and up to 24.0% after 24h of incubation with Serratia rubidae. Staphylococcus aureus was able to biodegrade 26.7% of BP-1, while Salmonella thiphymurium was able to biodegrade 14.7% of BP-1 after 24h of incubation. Their biodegradation products generated during the 4-HBP biodegradation process by Serratia rubidae were analyzed through LC-MS/MS analysis. The (bio)degradation products were benzophenone and a multi-hydroxylated derivative of 4-HBP and the degradation pathways were proposed. The data obtained in this study gave important information regarding the 4-HBP and BP-1 potential biodegradation by single bacterial strains.

Parorchis acanthus is a Trematode described by Nicoll (1907) from the bursa Fabricii and rectum of the Herring Gull, Larus argentatus; in 1906 he first described it as Zeugorchis acanthus. Originally found at St. Andrews, it is now known to be common at Millport and also occurs in gulls from the Northumberland coast, and probably is abundant elsewhere. Nicoll found it once in the Common Gull, Larus canus. In 1907 (Lebour, 1907) one of the present writers described a cercaria occurring in rediæ from Purpura lapillus. This was named Cercaria purpurœ sp. inq., and afterwards identified with young stages of Parorchis acanthus in the Herring Gull (Lebour, 1914). It was thus shown that the first host of this Trematode is Purpura lapillus and the final host the Herring Gull, but the intermediate host was unknown. Localities for the cercaria were Loch Ryan, Wigtownshire; Budle Bay, Fenham Flats and Cullercoats in Northumberland; Robin Hood's Bay in Yorkshire; and Millport. Adults occur at St. Andrews, Northumberland coast and Millport, as already stated.The Cercaria appeared to be closely related to Echinostomum cercariæ, and it was suggested (Lebour, 1914) that the intermediate host would probably be some marine bivalve, as it is often so with Echinostomum (e.g. E. secundum in Mytilus edulis and Cardium edule, E. leptosomum in Scrobicularia tenuis). This suggestion now proves to be correct, and we are able to show that the intermediate host of Parorchis acanthus is Mytilus edulis or Cardium edule.On August 13th, 1921, at the Millport Station some larval cercariæ were noticed by Elmhirst swimming in a small glass aquarium, which contained a collection of Purpura lapillus, Cardium edule and Mytilus edulis.

UV filters and their photoproducts in sunscreen formulations are directly characterized by TD-ESI/MS. This is a highly viable strategy to study the photostability of highly complex and diverse sunscreen formulations in the market.

Faced with the ban of some organic UV filters such as octinoxate or avobenzone, especially in Hawaii, it became essential to offer new alternatives that are both renewable and safe for humans and the environment. In this context, a class of bio-based molecules displaying interesting UV filter properties and great (photo)stability has been developed from Meldrum’s acid and bio-based and synthetic p-hydroxycinnamic acids, furans and pyrroles. Moreover, p-hydroxycinnamic acid-based Meldrum’s derivatives possess valuable secondary activities sought by the cosmetic industry such as antioxidant and anti-tyrosinase properties. The evaluation of the properties of mixture of judiciously chosen Meldrum’s acid derivatives highlighted the possibility to modulate secondary activity while maintaining excellent UV protection. Meldrum’s acid derivatives are not only competitive when benchmarked against organic filters currently on the market (i.e., avobenzone), but they also do not exhibit any endocrine disruption activity.
