... Adding alkaline into an anaerobic waste activated sludge (WAS) fermentation with thermophilic bacteria pretreatment could efficiently improve short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) accumulation to 3550 ± 120 mg COD/L. The acidification rate in combined test was 21.2%, while that was 15.6% and 10.7% in sole thermophilic bacteria pretreatment and control tests respectively. Four distinct groups of microbes ...

Abstract:
... A hydrolysis acidification (HA)-anoxic–oxic (A/O) process was adopted to treat a petrochemical wastewater. The operation optimization was carried out firstly by a bench scale experimental reactor. Then a full scale petrochemical wastewater treatment plant (PCWWTP, 6500m³h⁻¹) was operated with the same parameters. The results showed that the BOD5/COD of the wastewater increased from 0.30 to 0.43 by ...

Abstract:
... High rates of nitrogen (N) fertilization have resulted in soil secondary salinization and acidification, particularly in intensively managed agricultural ecosystems. However, little is known about the long-term effects of high N fertilization rates on soil bacterial community composition and diversity. Barcoded pyrosequencing was used to investigate the bacterial community composition and diversit ...

Abstract:
... To counteract forest decline due to anthropogenic acidification, two catchments located on granite and on sandstone bedrock were limed (2.5t/ha). The catchments are located in strongly affected areas in the Vosges Mountains of northeastern France. Four years after liming, structure of soil bacterial communities and community-level physiological profiling (CLPP) were investigated at two seasons. Ba ...
... The efficiency of petrochemical wastewater biological treatment is dependent upon complex bacterial communities. A well understanding of the structure and function of bacterial community and their association with environmental variables is essential for the elucidation of contaminant removal mechanisms and optimization of wastewater treatment processes. In this study, the bacterial communities an ...
... Long‐term ecosystem development involves changes in plant community composition and diversity associated with pedogenesis and nutrient availability, but comparable changes in soil microbial communities remain poorly understood. In particular, it is unclear whether the diversity of plants and microbes respond to similar abiotic drivers, or become decoupled as resources change over long time‐scales. ...
... Agroforestry systems (AFSs) are considered sustainable forms of land management, but their impact on soil microbial biodiversity remains poorly understood. Here, we compared the structure and diversity of bacterial communities in rubber-based AFSs in tropical China that had different management types and stand ages: 10-year-old rubber mono- (YR) and intercropping (YRF), and 22-year-old rubber mono ...
... Sediment and water samples representing a pollution gradient in a long, narrow lake polluted at one end by heavy metals, arsenic, and acid drainage from mine tailings, together with samples from an unpolluted reference lake, were analyzed to determine effects of pollutants on the microbial community of the polluted lake. Ribosomal ribonucleic acid, fatty acid, and phospholipid analyses, along with ...
... To determine the feasibility of enhancing co-conversion of endogenous C and N in dairy wastewater by surfactants, the effects of varying dosages of sodium lignosulfonate (LS), sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), and Tween-80 on mesophilic hydrolytic acidification coupled microalgae culture system were investigated. Tween-80 had a positive effect on hydrolytic acidification, while LS had no clear effect ...
... Ecological restoration technologies applied to tailings can influence the associated bacterial communities. However, it is unknown if the shifts in these bacterial communities are caused by increased organic carbon. Glucose-induced respiration and high-throughput sequencing were used to assess the microbial activity and bacterial communities, respectively. Glucose addition increased the microbial ...

Abstract:
... Compared to the short-term experiment, we have a lack of understanding about the long-term effect of fertilizers on rice yield and paddy soil properties under the conditions of frequent soil disturbance and intensive cropping cultivation. Thus, a 32-year (1984–2015) field experiment was established on a red clay soil (typical Ultisols) near Nanchang, Jiangxi province, China, to assess the effects ...
... Tetramethylammonium Hydroxide (TMAH) is widely used as a developer in the thin-film transistor liquid crystal display (TFT-LCD) industry, which is a corrosive alkaline and neuronal toxic compound. In this study, the performances of combined hydrolysis acidification-aerobic and anaerobic batch reactors for synthetic TMAH wastewater treatment were evaluated. It also investigated the real TMAH wastew ...
... Soil pH plays an important role in shaping the structure and diversity of prokaryotic community. Altered pH regimes may change prokaryotic community composition by selecting species or groups with different ecological strategies to optimize their fitness. However, it remains unresolved whether prokaryotic communities exhibit deterministic (phylogenetically conserved) or stochastic (phylogeneticall ...
