In this study, a lab-scale sequencing batch bioreactor (SBR) with hydraulic retention time (HRT) of 8 h was established to treat 50 mg/L 4-chlorophenol (4-CP), and the temporal responses of 4-CP on the performance and the expression level of related functional genes in sludge were explored. Results ...

Triclocarban (TCC) is in great market demand especially after the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic, becoming an emerging pollutant. However, the impacts of TCC on the performance of nitrifying granular sludge system and the occurrence of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) were still unknown. This work ...

The extensive use of acids in a variety of manufacturing industries results in the increase of discharged acidic waste stream into the environment. Such co-pollution of acids and other organic pollutants limits the biodegradation capability of neutrophilic degraders. With high-throughput genetic...

This article addresses the lifestyle of Pseudomonas and focuses on how Pseudomonas putida can be used as a model system for biotechnological processes in agriculture, and in the removal of pollutants from soils. In this chapter we aim to show how a deep analysis using genetic information and...

Objective: To understand the pollution of bottled and barreled drinking water in Maoming area from 2017 to 2018. Methods: According to the drinking water category, all pollutants were tested according to GB 19298-2014 National food safety standard-Packaged drinking water and GB 8537-2008 Drinking...

Ciprofloxacin (CIP), as an extensively used antibiotic, has been widely detected at a high level in the environment and has raised environmental pollution concerns. Thus, efficient and cost-effective methods for CIP degradation are highly desired. Biologically produced manganese oxides (BioMnO_x)...

Air pollution in metropolitan areas of Iran has negatively impacted establishment, growth, and development of many woody plant species, threatening the health of urban forest species. This study was designed to investigate the effects of artificial inoculation of seedlings of a major urban forest...

The rise in environmental pollution over the past few decades due to rapid industrialization and unsafe agricultural practices has become a major challenge. The presence of toxic pollutants such as nuclear wastes, heavy metals, pesticides, and hydrocarbons has been languishing the environment as...

Contamination of soil surface by used lubricating oil is a common occurrence in most developing countries. These hydrocarbon pollutants have harmful effects on the environment and human beings. Using hydrocarbon degrading microbes can be an alternative green technology for remediation of...

Breast milk, especially colostrum, is not just a source of nutrients and immune factors for the newborn, but also accumulates environmental persistent pollutants and its diverse microbes affect the early colonization of the newborn's gut. Little is known about associations between environmental ...
