Laccase and horseradish peroxidase for green treatment of phenolic micropollutants in real drinking water and wastewater

Milena Maryskova et al.

Summary: The study found that laccase and horseradish peroxidase exhibit optimal activity at strongly acidic pH when using ABTS as a substrate, which can be significantly enhanced by adding McIlvaine's buffer in real waters. The degradation of micropollutants in wastewater with buffer resulted in a substantial decrease in estrogenic activity. The efficiency of enzyme activity needs to be evaluated in real water conditions as optimal conditions based on commonly used substrates in pure buffer or deionized water may lead to misleading results.

Removal of pharmaceutical and personal care products (PPCPs) from wastewater using microalgae: A review

Sufia Hena et al.

Summary: Pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) are emerging micro-pollutants that have harmful effects on living organisms even at low doses. Previous studies have shown their presence in the environment at hazardous levels due to inefficient conventional wastewater treatment plants. Microalgae-mediated treatment offers benefits such as CO2 mitigation during culture and the use of biomass for biodiesel or biofuel production.

Implications of biological activated carbon filters for micropollutant removal in wastewater treatment

T. Fundneider et al.

Summary: Granulated Activated Carbon (GAC) filtration is a common method for advanced wastewater treatment, where removal of organic substances is achieved through both adsorption and biological processes. This study investigated the influence of biological processes on GAC-filter performance and found that pre-treatment, influent nitrogen species fluctuations, and parallel operation can significantly affect biofilm growth and overall efficiency. Additionally, the results suggest that biological processes accounted for approximately 25-42% of the total removal of Dissolved Organic Carbon (DOC) by the end of the operation period.

Multiple metabolic pathways of enrofloxacin by Lolium perenne L.: Ecotoxicity, biodegradation, and key driven genes

Chen-Yu Zhao et al.

Summary: This study investigated the ecotoxicological effects, biodegradation, and multiple metabolic pathways of enrofloxacin (ENR) by ryegrass, identifying key metabolic genes and proposing a biodegradation pathway. Results showed high removal rates of ENR by biodegradation and revealed the key functional genes involved in the degradation process. This study contributes to the understanding of antibiotic biodegradation in plants and highlights the potential of ryegrass in treating ENR-polluted water.
