... To control agronomic N losses and reduce environmental pollution, biological nitrification inhibition (BNI) is a promising strategy. BNI is an ecological phenomenon by which certain plants release bioactive compounds that can suppress nitrifying soil microbes. Herein, we report on two hydrophobic BNI compounds released from maize root exudation (1 and 2), together with two BNI compounds inside mai ...

Abstract:
... A thermotolerant strain with heterotrophic nitrification capability obtained from sludge composting was identified as Gordonia paraffinivorans N52. Strain N52 utilized 51.8% of ammonium nitrogen (NH₄⁺-N) at 60℃, and the nitrogen balance results indicated that 25.5% of the consumed NH₄⁺-N was changed into nitrification intermediates, 53.0% to intracellular nitrogen, and only 5.2% was lost. The succ ...

Abstract:
... Leachate from decaying root and leaf litter plays crucial roles in soil biogeochemical processes in forest ecosystems. Unlike for leaf litter, however, the chemical composition and microbial community of root litter leachate are poorly understood. We hypothesized that both leachate nitrogen (N) composition and microbial communities differ between plant organs and decomposition stages and that leac ...

Abstract:
... A nitrifying bacterium Acinetobacter sp. AL-6 showed a high efficiency of 99.05% for Mn(II) removal within 144 h when the Mn(II) concentration was 200 mg L⁻¹; meanwhile, 64.23% of NH₄⁺-N was removed. With the Mn(II) concentration increased from 25 to 300 mg L⁻¹, bacterial growth and Mn(II) removal were stimulated. However, due to the electron acceptor competition between Mn(II) oxidation and nitri ...

Abstract:
... This study proposed a novel anaerobic/pulse washout (APW) process that can rapidly inhibit nitrite-oxidizing bacteria (NOB) and enrich ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) to achieve the quick start-up of partial nitrification in an activated sludge system. The results showed that the start-up period of partial nitrification in the APW process (20 days) was shorter than that in the process operated wi ...

Abstract:
... So far, the microalgal-bacterial granular sludge process has attracted growing interest as an emerging wastewater treatment technology. Cadmium ion (Cd²⁺) commonly found in wastewater is toxic to microorganisms, thus its effect on microalgal-bacterial granules was investigated in this study. Results showed that Cd²⁺ at the concentration above 1 mg/L could compromise the performances of microalgal- ...

Abstract:
... Partial nitrification-anammox (PN/A) is an energy-efficient process for nitrogen removal from sewage. The influent organics of sewage is usually pre-removed, reducing the risk for enriching anammox bacteria (AnAOB). However, recent studies demonstrate that optimum influent organics could improve nitrogen removal and operational stability of PN/A. Thus, the impact of organics on PN/A-based process ...
