Effects of Different Ionic Liquids on Microbial Growth and Microbial Communities’ Structure of Soil

Abstract
Ionic liquids (ILs) are widely used “green solvent” as they have a low vapor pressure and can replace volatile solvents in industry. However, ILs are difficult to biodegrade and are potentially harmful to the environment. This study, herein, investigated the toxicity of three imidazole ILs ([C8MIM]Cl, [C8MIM]Br, and [C8DMIM]Br) towards soil microorganisms. The results showed that the ILs inhibited the growth of soil culturable microorganisms and affected the activity of soil enzyme. In addition, microbial communities’ species and abundance in soil were altered. Finally, functional prediction analysis revealed that ILs mainly affected the carbohydrate metabolism and amino acid metabolic processes of the microorganisms. ILs with single methyl substituent had a more pronounced effect than those with double methyl substituents. The study indicates that the use of ILs with double methyl substituents is more environmentally safe, and that the toxicity of ILs should be taken into account in industrial production for the design and production of more environmentally safe types, such as ILs with double methyl substituents.

- Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
- We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
- We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
- The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
- Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance
