Enhanced performance of sulfamethoxazole degradation using Achromobacter sp. JL9 with in-situ generated biogenic manganese oxides.

Little information is known about the relationships of in-situ generated BioMnOx and sulfamethoxazole (SMX) degradation. In this study, a novel efficient bioremediation technology was presented for simultaneous remove the nitrogen-N, SMX, and Mn(II) from water. Mn(II) can be completely oxidized with a oxidized rate of 0.

Application of a heavy metal-resistant Achromobacter sp. for the simultaneous immobilization of cadmium and degradation of sulfamethoxazole from wastewater.

Little information is available regarding the kinetics, products, and pathways of simultaneous SMX degradation and Cd(II) immobilization from wastewater. In this study, a novel bacterium (Achromobacter sp. L3) with SMX degradation and Cd(II) immobilization capabilities was isolated.

Bioaugmentation of Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor (MBBR) with Achromobacter JL9 for enhanced sulfamethoxazole (SMX) degradation in aquaculture wastewater.

This study investigated whether bioaugmentation improves sulfamethoxazole (SMX) degradation and nitrogen removal in the Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor (MBBR) system. The effects of the C/N ratio on SMX degradation and nitrogen removal were also evaluated. Using MBBR system operation experiments, the bioaugmented reactor was found to perform more effectively than the non-bioaugmentation reactor, with the highest SMX, nitrate-N, and ammonia-N removal efficiencies of 80.

Simultaneous sulfamethoxazole biodegradation and nitrogen conversion in low C/N ratio pharmaceutical wastewater by Achromobacter sp. JL9.

The pharmaceutical industry produces large volumes of low C/N ratio wastewater that is difficult to treat. In this study, we isolated Achromobacter sp. JL9 with high efficiency for sulfamethoxazole degradation and nitrogen conversion in low C/N ratio pharmaceutical wastewater.

Simultaneous sulfamethoxazole biodegradation and nitrogen conversion by Achromobacter sp. JL9 using with different carbon and nitrogen sources.

This study investigated sulfamethoxazole (SMX) biodegradation and nitrogen conversion by Achromobacter sp. JL9 using different carbon and nitrogen sources. Results showed that SMX and sodium acetate could be co-metabolized as carbon sources for bacterial growth and nitrogen conversion with highest removal efficiencies of 82.

Characterization of the Cd(II) and nitrate removal by bacterium Acinetobacter sp. SZ28 under different electron donor conditions.

In this study, zero-valent iron (ZVI), nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI), Fe(II), and Mn(II) were investigated for their effects on mixotrophic denitrification coupled with cadmium (Cd(II)) adsorption process by Acinetobacter sp. SZ28. The removal rates of nitrate were 0.

Biological floating bed and bio-contact oxidation processes for landscape water treatment: simultaneous removal of Microcystis aeruginosa, TOC, nitrogen and phosphorus.

The aim of this study was to identify algicidal bacteria J25 against the Microcystis aeruginosa (90.14%), Chlorella (78.75%), Scenedesmus (not inhibited), and Oscillatoria (90.

Microbial community analysis of simultaneous ammonium removal and Fe reduction at different influent ammonium concentrations.

This study investigates the impacts of influent ammonium concentrations on the microbial community in immobilized heterotrophic ammonium removal system. Klebsiella sp. FC61, the immobilized species, has the ability to perform simultaneous ammonium removal and Fe reduction.

Enhancement of simultaneous algicidal and denitrification of immobilized Acinetobacter sp. J25 with magnetic FeO nanoparticles.

In this study, immobilization technique was employed to improve simultaneous algicidal and denitrification of immobilized Acinetobacter sp. J25 with magnetic FeO in eutrophic landscape water. After 7 days of operation, the maximum superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity (54.

[The particularity of female coronary heart disease and the thinking way of its diagnosis and treatment by integrative medicine].

Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a major disease greatly harmful to the health of human beings. The incidence and case fatality rate of female CHD show an increasing tendency due to lack of enough attention. Through analyzing the epidemiology, risk factors, and clinical characteristics of female CHD, we emphasized that it is necessary to pay enough attention to the particularity of female CHD, and put forward the thinking way of diagnosis and treatment of integrative medicine as "integrating Chinese medicine and Western medicine by mutual complement of advantages; combining syndrome typing and disease identification by grasping laws; treating physically and mentally by a wholism concept; spreading health education, preventing and treating comprehensively".

[Effects of high-density lipoprotein 1 on the formation of foam cells from human monocyte-derived macrophages].

Objective: To investigate effects of serum HDL(1) on the formation of foam cells from human peripheral blood monocyte-derived macrophages.

Methods: Sectie density polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (sd-PAGE) was applied for isolation and preparation of HDL(1) simultaneously. Monocytes were isolated from human peripheral blood by Ficoll-Hypaque density gradient centrifugation and plastic adsorptive process.

Study on the relationship between serum high density lipoprotein and Pi-deficiency syndrome in patients with coronary heart disease.

Objective: To explore the relationship of Pi-deficiency syndrome in TCM with the change of serum high density lipoprotein (HDL) in blood lipid metabolic disorder.

Methods: Sixty-eight patients with confirmed coronary heart disease (CHD) were selected for TCM syndrome typing into Pi-deficiency (PD) group and non-Pi-deficiency (NPD) group. Routine blood lipids and serum lipoprotein electrophoretogram (SLPG) were determined in all patients to analyze the total content of HDL and its relative contents of sub-components HDL(1-5), as well as their relation with PD syndrome.
