Abstract:
... Residual ammonium is a critical parameter affecting the stability of mainstream partial nitritation/anammox (PN/A), but the underlying mechanism remains unclear. In this study, mainstream PN/A was established and operated with progressively decreasing residual ammonium. PN/A deteriorated as the residual ammonium decreased to below 5 mg/L, and this was paralleled by a significant loss in anammox ac ...
... Based on the dissolution and conversion mechanism of lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries, insulating solid short-chain polysulfides (Li₂S₂/Li₂S) will continuously passivate and corrode the active interface of cathode and anode, which seriously affects its performance. Herein, ammonium benzenesulfonate (NH₄BS) is proposed as a soluble ammonium salt to dissolve Li₂S in the ether electrolyte, according t ...

Abstract:
... Anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) is well-known to be an environmental and promising biotechnology. However, the natural enrichment of anammox bacteria is still a challenging topic. In this study, partial S(0)-driven autotrophic denitrification (PSAD) was developed to stably supply nitrite, and natural enrichment of anammox bacteria was rapidly realized in a single sequencing moving bed biofi ...
... The environmental behavior of arsenic (As) is commonly affected by the biogeochemical processes of iron (Fe) and nitrogen (N). In this study, field experiments were conducted to explore As uptake in rice and As translation and distribution in As-contaminated iron-rich paddy soils after applying different forms of N fertilizers, including urea (CO(NH₂)₂), ammonium bicarbonate (NH₄HCO₃), nitrate of ...

Abstract:
... The aim of this manuscript was to validate and apply an analytical methodology for the simultaneous determination of 34 mycotoxins in cocoa. The extraction method used in the tests was a liquid–liquid partition by NaCl addition with a freezing step followed by quantification using LC-MS/MS. The results were discussed based on national and international directives for food contaminants. The recover ...
... Simultaneous removal of ammonium and nitrate was achieved in a methane-fed moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR). In the reactor, methanotrophic microorganisms oxidized methane under hypoxic conditions likely to methanol, hence providing an electron donor to denitrifiers to reduce nitrate to nitrite that then allowed anaerobic ammonium oxidizing bacteria (Anammox) to remove excess ammonium as N₂. The ...
... The increasing application of anammox processes suggests their enormous potential for nitrogen removal in wastewater treatment facilities. However, the functional potentials and ecological differentiation of cooccurring anammox species in complex ecosystems have not been well elucidated. Herein, by utilizing functional reconstruction and comparative genome analysis, we deciphered the cooccurring m ...

Abstract:
... This work explores the use of chitosan as an active matrix to develop biofungicides. Two chitosans from marine resources, of 4.8 and 78 kg/mol respectively, were structurally characterized. Both chitosans diluted in acidic conditions (lactic or acetic acid at 1%, v/v) were efficient in reducing the growth of Fusarium graminearum. Ammonium groups of chitosan chains were suggested as key determinant ...
... Here we describe the potential for sediment microbial nitrogen-cycling gene (DNA) and activity (RNA) abundances to spatially resolve coastal areas impacted by seasonal variability in external nutrient inputs. Three sites were chosen within a nitrogen-limited embayment, Port Phillip Bay (PPB), Australia that reflect variability in both proximity to external nutrient inputs and the dominant form of ...

Abstract:
... Antibiotic pollution imposes urgent threats to public health and microbial-mediated ecological processes. Existing studies have primarily focused on bacterial responses to antibiotic pollution, but they ignored the microeukaryotic counterpart, though microeukaryotes are functionally important (e.g., predators and saprophytes) in microbial ecology. Herein, we explored how the assembly of sediment m ...

Abstract:
... Virucidal suspension testing is commonly used as an authorized test for disinfectants. However, this method could not precisely evaluate the effect of disinfectants on food-contact surfaces. To solve this problem, a carrier testing method needs to be established in the food-processing industries by following a standard guideline. Therefore, we employed two murine norovirus strains (MNV-1 and MNV-S ...

Abstract:
... Organic matter is a critical factor which regulates nitrogen loss pathways of denitrification and anammox for microbes in marine ecosystems. However, only a little attention has been paid to contrasting studies on denitrification and anammox in sandy and muddy sediments, especially in the coastal continental shelf dominated by sandy sediments. This study determined the bulk properties and associat ...

Abstract:
... Enniatins (ENN) and beauvericin (BEA) are emerging mycotoxins that have been traditionally determined by liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS). However, to the best of our knowledge, no analytical methods based on capillary electrophoresis (CE)–MS/MS have been reported so far. Due to their non-polar nature, in this work, a non-aqueous CE (NACE) method coupled to quad ...

Abstract:
... Simultaneous anammox and denitrification (SAD) is an efficient approach to treat wastewater having a low C/N ratio; however, few studies have investigated a combination of SAD and partial nitritation (PN). In this study, a lab-scale up-flow blanket filter (UBF) and zeolite sequence batch reactor (ZSBR) were continuously operated to implement SAD and PN advantages, respectively. The UBF achieved a ...

Abstract:
... The stable nitrite (NO₂⁻-N) generation and rapid startup of anammox-based process are the main bottlenecks hindering its application in mainstream municipal wastewater treatment. In this study, a Partial-Denitrification (PD) system reducing nitrate (NO₃⁻-N) to NO₂⁻-N was rapidly developed within 40 days, using the nitrification/denitrification sludge from wastewater treatment plant. The NO₃⁻-N to ...
... The aerobic, lincomycin-degrading bacterial strain Conexibacter sp. LD01, belonging to the phylum Actinobacteria, was isolated from activated sludge. Both second- and third-generation sequencing technologies were applied to uncover the genomic characterization and high-quality genome with 99.2% completeness and 2.2% contamination was obtained. The biodegradation kinetics of lincomycin fit well wit ...

Abstract:
... In this study, the effects of soluble readily biodegradable COD (sCOD) and particulate slowly biodegradable COD (pCOD) on anammox process were investigated. The results of the long-term experiment indicated that a low sCOD/N ratio of 0.5 could accelerate the anammox and denitrification activity, to reach as high as 84.9%±2.8% TN removal efficiency. Partial denitrification-anammox (PDN/anammox) and ...

Spectrophotometric methodologies have been used to assess glutaminase activity, for which coloured complexes have been developed that measure spectrophotometry across the visible spectrum using different reagents. The present paper describes a precise, simple and reliable procedure for quantifying glutaminase activity, which is a key enzyme in glutamine hydrolysis and also involved in glutamine me ...

Abstract:
... Recalcitrant and toxicological membrane-making wastewater displays negative impacts on environment, and this is difficult to treat efficiently using conventional hydrolytic acidification. In this study, a novel electro-assisted biological reactor with micro-aerobic cathode (EABR-MAC) was developed to improve the biodegradation and ammonification of N, N-dimethylformamide (DMF) in membrane-making w ...

Here we report the impacts of polyethylene and biodegradable Ecovio and BI-OPL plastic films buried in alpine soils for 5 months on the genetic potential of the soil microbiome using shotgun metagenomics. The microbiome was more affected by Ecovio and BI-OPL than by poly ...
