Capturing effects of filamentous fungi Aspergillus flavus ZJ-1 on microalgae Chlorella vulgaris WZ-1 and the application of their co-integrated fungi-algae pellets for Cu(II) adsorption

Chao Zhang et al.

Summary: Using filamentous fungi to capture unicellular microalgae is an effective method for microalgae recovery in water treatment. In this study, fungi Aspergillus flavus ZJ-1 and microalgae Chlorella vulgaris WZ-1 were used to investigate the capture effect. The formed fungi-algae pellets (FAPs) showed good adsorption capacity for Cu(II) and the PAFs formed within 2 hours exhibited the highest adsorption capacity.

Insights into differences between spore-assisted and pellet-assisted microalgae harvesting using a highly efficient fungus: Efficiency, high-value substances, and mechanisms

Qian-Ru Wang et al.

Summary: Efficient and low-cost microalgae harvesting was achieved by using filamentous fungi as aids. Investigations on two strategies, fungal spore-assisted harvesting (FSH) and fungal pellet-assisted harvesting (FPH), revealed that Aspergillus niger HW8-1 had the highest harvesting efficiencies. FPH showed higher lipid and polysaccharide content in fungus-alga pellets compared to FSH. By optimizing the microalgae preculture time, glucose concentration, and microalgae initial density, the contents of high-value substances in fungus-alga pellets after FPH were significantly improved. FPH also resulted in more secretion of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) and increased the photosynthesis rate of microalgae.

Slaughterhouse wastewater treatment using purple phototrophic bacteria: A comparison between photoheterotrophic and chemoheterotrophic conditions

Jaime Fabian Mata-De-la-Vega et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the effectiveness of purple phototrophic bacteria biomass for treating slaughterhouse wastewater. The results showed that the bacteria were able to quickly hydrolyze the wastewater and remove carbon and nutrients under both photoheterotrophic and chemoheterotrophic conditions. The study also found that the bacteria could still remove carbon and phosphorus from the wastewater during the prolonged dark period.

Comparison between Conventional Treatment Processes and Advanced Oxidation Processes in Treating Slaughterhouse Wastewater: A Review

Jen Xen Yeoh et al.

Summary: The blooming of the world's human population and the transition of the human diet into a more westernized, high-protein diet has accelerated the production of slaughterhouse wastewater (SWW) as the number of meat processing plants (MPP) has increased in the past few decades. Conventional treatment processes (CTP) used in treating SWW, such as anaerobic processes, membrane processes, and electrocoagulation, have significant limitations, such as low treatment efficiency, tendency to foul, and high energy consumption, respectively. While advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) appear promising in replacing the former, they lack economic feasibility when used as a single process. In this paper, the limitations and disadvantages of the CTPs used in treating SWW influents are evaluated. The idea of utilising AOPs as a complementary step rather than a single process is also discussed. The review paper further explores the variability of different AOPs, such as Fenton, Electro-Fenton, Sono-Fenton, etc., and their respective strengths and weaknesses in counteracting the limitations of CTPs. The idea of incorporating resource recovery into wastewater treatment is also discussed towards the end of the paper as a means of generating additional revenue for the industry players to compensate for the high operation and maintenance costs of SWW treatment. The integration of a new-generation treatment process such as AOP into CTP while being able to carry out resource recovery is a future hurdle that must be overcome by scientists in order to produce a versatile, powerful, sustainable, yet financially feasible and operationally pragmatic treatment system.

Synergism and mutualistic interactions between microalgae and fungi in fungi-microalgae symbiotic system

Junjun Wang et al.

Summary: The study found that collecting microalgae using fungal mycelium pellets had the highest biomass and recovery efficiency under specific conditions. Microalgae can be fixed on the surface of fungal mycelium pellets by EPS with electrostatic attraction. Nitrogen cycling and CO2-O-2 cycling promote the synthesis of amino acids, while intermediate metabolites satisfy metabolic activities, demonstrating the synergy between microalgae and fungi.

Summary: This study systematically investigated the harvesting process of Chlorella vulgaris using pre cultured Aspergillus oryzae pellets, demonstrating the high efficiency and sustainability of the pellet-assisted mode for algal harvesting. The results showed that changes in functional groups and secreted metabolites played a major role in inducing bioflocculation, while the re-growth of microalgae in separated water and the increase in lipid content in recycled medium highlighted the importance of resource recycling.

Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy as a Tool to Study Milk Composition Changes in Dairy Cows Attributed to Housing Modifications to Improve Animal Welfare

Mazen Bahadi et al.

Summary: This study proposed a novel approach to detect changes in milk composition related to cows subjected to different tie-rail configurations using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The results showed that cows in the TR3 configuration, which restricts movement, might have limited access to feed based on observed biomarkers related to negative energy balance in the milk spectra. Overall, milk FTIR spectroscopy showed promising results in detecting welfare status and housing conditions in dairy cows.
