Comparison of bacterial communities and their functional profiling using 16S rRNA gene sequencing between the inherent serpentine-associated sites, hyper-accumulator, downgradient agricultural farmlands, and distal non-serpentine soils

Viji Nagarajan et al.

Summary: This study compared the bacterial community and functional profiles associated with different sites using 16S rRNA gene sequencing. The results showed that the variation in bacterial community selection and abundance was influenced by factors such as heavy metal content, interaction between hyperaccumulator plants and soil microbiota, and agricultural practices.

Efficient degradation of tetracycline by singlet oxygen-dominated peroxymonosulfate activation with magnetic nitrogen-doped porous carbon

Shaohua Wu et al.

Summary: The study thoroughly examined the degradation of tetracycline (TC) in the constructed Co-N/C-PMS system, finding that the removal rate of TC reached 85.4% when Co-N/C and PMS were added simultaneously, with a higher degradation rate compared to using Co-N/C or PMS alone. The system was identified as a singlet oxygen-dominated nonradical reaction, providing a promising approach for eliminating TC in water treatment.

Acetate stimulates tetracycline biodegradation pathways in bioelectrochemical system

Lean Zhou et al.

Summary: This study reveals that limited acetate can stimulate the biodegradation of tetracycline in bioelectrochemical systems (BESs). The presence of limited acetate enhances the stability of PTDB and Geobacter, leading to an increase in the removal efficiency of tetracycline. Additionally, the microbial community undergoes changes under limited acetate stimulation, resulting in modifications in the degradation pathways and main metabolites of tetracycline.

The selectivity of electron acceptors for the removal of caffeine, gliclazide, and prazosin in an up-flow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor

Nur Alyaa Zahida Azizan et al.

Summary: This study explores the relationship between reducing conditions and the biotransformation of pharmaceutical compounds in a continuous anaerobic treatment process. Results show that different reducing conditions do not negatively affect the biotransformation performance of each compound, but lead to varying biotransformation rates, thereby shifting microbial diversity in the reactor.

Bimetallic nitrogen-doped porous carbon derived from ZIF-L&FeTPP@ZIF-8 as electrocatalysis and application for antibiotic wastewater treatment

Shengnan Li et al.

Summary: This study investigated the removal of the antibiotic sulfamethoxazole (SMX) from water using Fe-Co-C/N as electrocatalysis in MFCs. The Fe-Co-C/N catalyst exhibited excellent electrocatalytic activity towards oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), leading to efficient SMX degradation in MFCs. Additionally, the study explored the impact of SMX on MFC performance and microbial community diversity.

Deciphering the transfers of antibiotic resistance genes under antibiotic exposure conditions: Driven by functional modules and bacterial community

Qi Zhao et al.

Summary: This study investigated the development of ARGs in sludge exposed to two sulfonamide antibiotics by constructing anaerobic sequence batch reactors (ASBR). The results showed that the presence of sulfonamide antibiotics triggered functional modules such as oxidative stress response, signal transduction, and type IV secretion systems, which promoted the transfer of ARGs.
