... To study the effects of microeukaryotic communities on development of varietal aroma of Vidal blanc grape during late harvest, metagenomics, gas chromatography–mass spectrometry, climate factors and scanning electron microscopy were jointly used to discover how freeze–thaw stress influences grape skin and shapes the microeukaryotic consortia. Most free terpenes, monoterpenes and C13-norisoprenoids ...

Granular indigenous microalgal-bacterial consortium (G-IMBC) system integrates the advantages of the MBC and granular activated sludge technologies, also with superior microalgal wastewater adaptation capacity. In this review, the concept of IMBC was firstly described, followed by its establishment and acclimation strategies. Characteristics and advantages of G-IMBC system compared to other IMBC s ...
... Polylactic acid (PLA), characterized by its biodegradability, easy processing, and environmental friendliness, is regarded as one of the ideal substitutes for petroleum-based polymers. But, the flammability and UV light sensitivity of PLA often impact the safety and service life of its products. In this study, a bio-based additive (BA-TA-MEL) is synthesized via a one-pot method and used as a flame ...
... Non-Saccharomyces yeasts play an important role in greengage fermentation. To obtain practical non-Saccharomyces yeasts for high-acid fermentation environments, and improve the flavour quality of fermented greengage beverage, four indigenous acid-tolerant non-Saccharomyces yeast strains were used to conduct greengage fermentation. Hanseniaspora occidentalis, Pichia terricola, and Issatchenkia orie ...

Abstract:
... Microalgal-bacterial consortium (MBC) process has been proposed as an alternative to conventional activated sludge process for nitrogen removal from wastewater. As one of the most influencing parameters, light irradiation effects on microalgae have been extensively investigated. However, light influence on the performance of nitrifiers in activated sludge and its mechanism remains unclear. In this ...
... Microalgae-based wastewater treatment exhibits a competitive alternative to traditional biological techniques due to its ability to recover nutrients and produce high value-added bioproducts such as fucoxanthin and fatty acids. As an essential nutrient element, nitrogen plays a critical role in microalgal metabolism and bio–compositions synthesis including fucoxanthin and fatty acids, whose prefer ...
... Freezing is a method that plays a key role in the storage of aquatic products. The effects of different methods of freezing on the quality, microstructure, ice-crystal morphology, and protein oxidation of Sciaenops ocellatus were investigated. Air freezing (AF), immersion freezing (IF), and different powers of ultrasound-assisted immersion freezing (UIF) (150, 200, and 250 W) were studied. IF and ...
... Increased worldwide consumption of antiviral drugs (AVDs) amid COVID-19 has induced enormous burdens to the existing wastewater treatment systems. Microalgae-based bioremediation is a competitive alternative technology due to its simultaneous nutrient recovery and sustainable biomass production. However, knowledge about the fate, distribution, and interaction of AVDs with microalgae is yet to be d ...
... Seventeen new species of Psychomyia from China are described and illustrated, these species are: P. biacicularis Li, Qiu, and Morse, sp. nov.; P. cuspidata Li, Qiu, and Morse, sp. nov.; P. didymos Li, Qiu, and Morse, sp. nov.; P. ensiformis Li, Qiu, and Morse, sp. nov.; P. erecta Li, Qiu, and Morse, sp. nov.; P. hirta Li, Qiu, and Morse, sp. nov.; P. humecta Li, Qiu, and Morse, sp. nov.; P. longa ...
... Microalgal-bacterial consortium process (MBCP) proposed as an alternative to the activated sludge process contains free nitrous acid (FNA). FNA antimicrobial influences on nitrifiers have been demonstrated. However, its influence on microalgae is largely unknown, limiting the system stability of MBCP. This study revealed the multi-targeted responses of a model wastewater microalgae, Chlorella soro ...
... Quantitative detection and characterization of antigen-specific T cells are crucial to our understanding of immune responses as well as the development of new immunotherapies. Herein, we report a spatiotemporally resolved method for the detection and quantification of cell–cell interactions via Photocatalytic proXimity CELl Labeling (PhoXCELL). The biocompatible photosensitizer dibromofluorescein ...
... Nitritation facilitates the application of anaerobic ammonium oxidation (Anammox)-based processes for cost-efficient nitrogen removal from wastewater. This study proposed light irradiation as a novel strategy to rapidly start up nitritation by stimulating both the activities and growth of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) while suppressing that of nitrite-oxidizing bacteria (NOB). Batch assays and ...
... Pulsed electric field (PEF) processing is an emerging non-thermal technology that shows potential to improve food quality and to maintain stability. Glutinous rice is composed mainly of amylopectin and has low amylose content. This study investigated the effect of PEF treatment at 3 kV/cm field strength for 50 to 300 pulses on whole, water-soaked glutinous rice grains. Micro-pores were created at ...
... The melting crystallization is a crucial way to isolate unsaturated fatty acids from peony seed oil, mainly composed of oleic acid (OA), linoleic acid (LA), and α-linolenic acid (ALA). The solid-liquid phase behaviors of oleic/linoleic acid (OA-LA), oleic/α-linolenic acid (OA-ALA), and linoleic/α-linolenic acid (LA-ALA) binary systems at the cooling and melting stage were investigated by employing ...
... Free ammonia (FA) has been recently demonstrated as the primary stress factor suppressing microalgal activities in high-ammonium wastewater. However, its inhibition mechanism and microalgal self-adaptive regulations remain unknown. This study revealed an initial inhibition and subsequent self-adaptation of a wastewater-indigenous Chlorella sp. exposed to FA shock. Mutual physiological and transcri ...
