Quorum sensing regulation methods and their effects on biofilm in biological waste treatment systems: A review

Zhuqiu Sun et al.

Summary: Quorum sensing (QS) plays a crucial role in controlling microbial aggregation, and the optimization of biological waste treatment systems by QS regulation has gained significant attention. This review summarizes the methods of enhancing and inhibiting QS in biological waste treatment systems and concludes the specific improvements achieved in different treatment systems. Moreover, it reviews the effects of QS regulation methods on biofilm and analyzes the knowledge gaps in current research, providing suggestions for future studies.

Impact of long-term irrigation with municipal reclaimed wastewater on the uptake and degradation of organic contaminants in lettuce and leek

Rayana Manasfi et al.

Summary: The study found limited accumulation of contaminants in soil and plant leaves, likely due to transformation or binding processes in soil limiting contaminant uptake by plants. This suggests a minimal human health risk from consuming raw leafy green vegetables irrigated with treated municipal wastewater containing organic contaminants residues.

Effects of the chlorination and pressure flushing of drippers fed by reclaimed wastewater on biofouling

Kevin Lequette et al.

Summary: Milli-channel baffle labyrinths play a critical role in drip irrigation systems, but are susceptible to clogging. Chlorination has been shown to effectively reduce biofilm development in milli-labyrinth channels, improving water distribution uniformity and reducing bacterial concentration.

Hidden Resistome: Enrichment Reveals the Presence of Clinically Relevant Antibiotic Resistance Determinants in Treated Wastewater-Irrigated Soils

Roberto B. M. Marano et al.

Summary: Treated-wastewater irrigation can transfer antibiotic-resistant bacteria to soil, but their persistence is generally low due to the resilience of the soil microbiome. However, these bacteria and associated antibiotic resistance genes may persist below detection levels and potentially proliferate under copiotrophic conditions. The study demonstrates that short-term enrichment strategies can be applied for environmental antimicrobial risk assessment in the future.

Anaerobic biodegradation of levofloxacin by enriched microbial consortia: Effect of electron acceptors and carbon source

Wenhui Shu et al.

Summary: The study revealed that the simultaneous addition of glucose and sulfate is a favorable condition for anaerobic degradation of levofloxacin (LEV), significantly enhancing the removal of LEV. Furthermore, the co-metabolism of carbohydrate metabolism and sulfate metabolism was demonstrated to participate in the degradation of LEV under glucose and sulfate added condition, enriching specific microbial communities.
