Metagenomics Analysis to Investigate the Microbial Communities and Their Functional Profile During Cyanobacterial Blooms in Lake Varese

Isabella Sanseverino et al.

Summary: Toxic cyanobacterial blooms are caused by the mass proliferation of photosynthetic prokaryotic microorganisms in water environments, posing serious threats to aquatic organisms and human health. A study in Lake Varese, northern Italy, found Cyanobacteria to be more abundant in the lake, with the blooms mainly dominated by the species Lyngbya robusta. Additionally, a specific functional profile characterized the bacterial population along the water column, and a large and diverse phage population was also identified in the shotgun data analysis.

Verrucomicrobiota are specialist consumers of sulfated methyl pentoses during diatom blooms

Luis H. Orellana et al.

Summary: The study found that small, coccoid, free-living Verrucomicrobiota specialize in consuming fucose and rhamnose during spring algal blooms in the North Sea. These Verrucomicrobiota populations accounted for up to 8% of the bacterioplankton and actively expressed proteins critical for the consumption of fucosylated and sulfated polysaccharides during consecutive spring bloom events. Specialized metabolic pathways of Verrucomicrobiota could determine the fate of complex polysaccharides consumed during algae blooms, particularly those containing methyl pentose sugars.

GTDB: an ongoing census of bacterial and archaeal diversity through a phylogenetically consistent, rank normalized and complete genome-based taxonomy

Donovan H. Parks et al.

Summary: The Genome Taxonomy Database (GTDB) provides a phylogenetically consistent taxonomy for prokaryotic genomes sourced from the NCBI database. It includes a large number of bacterial and archaeal genomes, highlights the importance of metagenome-assembled genomes, and discusses improvements to the GTDB website and the procedure for updating species clusters.

Combining an effect-based methodology with chemical analysis for antibiotics determination in wastewater and receiving freshwater and marine environment

Albert Serra-Compte et al.

Summary: Two different methodologies were used to evaluate the risks of antibiotics in the environment, with macrolides and quinolones identified as the main antibiotics with potential environmental risks in wastewater. Fish showed higher antibiotic concentrations compared to bivalves and gastropods in the study areas.

Occurrence, environmental fate, ecological issues, and redefining of endocrine disruptive estrogens in water resources

Muhammad Bilal et al.

Summary: The increasing presence of estrogenic pollutants in water resources is a major concern due to potential hazards to environmental and human health. Various treatment methods have been proposed, but challenges such as high costs and limited effectiveness exist. Biocatalytic systems are seen as a promising approach for the removal of steroidal estrogens.

Bacterial community compositions and nitrogen metabolism function in a cattle farm wastewater treatment plant revealed by Illumina high-throughput sequencing

Weizhi Yan et al.

Summary: This study used high-throughput sequencing technology to investigate the microbial community structure and diversity in a cattle farm wastewater treatment plant, revealing significant impacts of different stages on microbial community structure. The results also showed that total phosphorus is the most important factor regulating microbial community composition, and nitrogen metabolic pathway and transformation mechanism were elucidated.

The economical lifestyle of CPR bacteria in groundwater allows little preference for environmental drivers

Narendrakumar M. Chaudhari et al.

Summary: The highly diverse Cand. Patescibacteria have minimal biosynthetic and metabolic pathways, making it difficult to understand their differentiation in response to environmental drivers or host organisms. Their mechanisms to cope with oxidative stress are largely unknown. Using genome-resolved metagenomics, this study found Patescibacteria to be the most dominant super-phylum in groundwater samples, with different subgroups enriched in specific size fractions. The Patescibacteria populations showed variation in genome size, replication measures, and genomic features in response to environmental factors, but overall displayed limited niche adaptation evidence in oxic or anoxic groundwaters.

Retrospective non-target analysis to support regulatory water monitoring: from masses of interest to recommendations via in silico workflows

Adelene Lai et al.

Summary: Applying non-target analysis in regulatory environmental monitoring is challenging due to specific regulatory questions and overwhelming data volumes. This study developed an in silico workflow to identify environmental chemical unknowns, successfully identifying one confirmed and 21 tentative pollutants. The prescreening and quality control workflow developed here is crucial for scaling up non-target analysis in environmental monitoring.

Occurrence and removal of pharmaceuticals in wastewater treatment plants

Omar Fawzi Suleiman Khasawneh et al.

Summary: This paper systematically reviews the global occurrence and removal of 43 pharmaceutical compounds in municipal wastewater treatment plants from 2010 to 2020, assessing their daily mass load and emissions. Significant variation in pharmaceutical concentrations between regions is found, with higher influent concentrations in Asian regions. Environmental risk assessment shows that 12 monitored pharmaceuticals pose a high potential risk to aquatic ecosystems. Guidelines and regulations are discussed to mitigate pharmaceutical occurrence in the environment.

Estrogenicity of chemical mixtures revealed by a panel of bioassays

Livia Gomez et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates the effectiveness of using bioassays to detect the impact of estrogenic compounds in water, even when the concentrations of these compounds are below the detection limit in chemical analysis. Different bioassays showed varying responsiveness to mixtures, indicating the importance of selecting appropriate bioassays based on specific environmental pollution conditions.

Performance of full scale constructed wetlands in removing antibiotics and antibiotic resistance genes

N. A. Sabri et al.

Summary: The study found that two constructed wetlands (CWs) showed significant removal of antibiotics, with some antibiotics having higher concentrations after treatment. In winter, five antibiotics had the highest concentrations, while ermB was more abundant in winter compared to summer. Other ARGs did not show significant seasonal changes, and the hydraulic retention time (HRT) did not affect the removal of antibiotics and ARGs.
