BackgroundThe capacity of reef-building corals to tolerate (or adapt to) heat stress is a key factor determining their resilience to future climate change. Changes in coral microbiome composition (particularly for microalgal endosymbionts and bacteria) is a potential mechanism that may assist corals to thrive in warm waters. The northern Red Sea ex...

Several textile industry processes produce complex organics, azo dyes and sulfide streams that pose a severe challenge to environmental protection. In this work, single-chamber air cathode microbial fuel cells were used to investigate the interaction mechanisms among Congo red decolorization, sulfide oxidation and bioelectricity generation. The res...

Although membrane fouling is a major issue when operating membrane bioreactors (MBRs), information regarding MBR performance and the sludge microbiome after the development of fouling remains limited. For the present study, two MBRs were operated for approximately 1 month under conditions of membrane fouling to investigate the effects of highly str...

In this study, a three-chamber air–cathode microbial desalination cell (AMDC) was constructed using activated sludge as the inoculating microbial source and carbon cloth as the electrode. The simultaneous bioelectricity generation, desalination, degradation of organic compounds, and nitrogen removal in the AMDC having different electrode spacings (...

Free nitrous acid (FNA) has only been studied as the pretreatment of waste activated sludge (WAS). Integrated fermentation and nitrogen removal using FNA as a primary means of treatment are seldom investigated. WAS fermentation was characterized under various FNA concentration. The production of COD, protein, and carbohydrate increased with FNA con...

The impact of contrasting water quality treatments on wetland plant-associated microbial communities was investigated in this study using 12 lab-scale wetland mesocosms (subsurface flow design) planted with reed canary grass (Phalaris arundinacea) or water speedwell (Veronica anagallis-aquatica) over a 13-week period. Mesocosms received water colle...

This work focused on the application of calcium (0.1-1% w/v) to overcome the inhibition caused by the high loadings (2% v/v) of fat, oil, and grease (FOG) in the context of biomethane production, organic removal, and microbial community shift. Addition of 0.5% calcium showed maximum biomethane production (6-fold increase); biomethane production dec...

Perchlorate is a refractory and mobile contaminant that is wildly distributed in surface water, and due to its tremendous inhibitory effect on mammalian thyroid function, it has gained much attention in recent years. Numerous studies have focused on environmental detection of perchlorate, especially in water. However, less attention has been paid t...

BackgroundMicrobial culture-based investigations of inflamed tonsil tissues have previously indicated enrichment of several microorganisms such as Streptococcus, Staphylococcus and Prevotella. These taxa were also largely reflected in DNA sequencing studies performed using tissue material. In comparison, less is known about the response of the over...

Environmental pollution (Barking, Essex : 1987)
Plant microbiome, as the second genome of plant, and the interface between human and environmental microbiome, represents a potential pathway of human exposure to environmental pathogens and resistomes. However, the impact of host identity on the profile of resistomes in plant phyllosphere is unclear and this knowledge is vital for establishing a f...
