The widely-used surfactant Nonylphenol Ethoxylate (NPEO) produces endocrine-disrupting compounds during biodegradation, with these byproducts being more harmful than untreated NPEO. This study investigates the effectiveness of a Fluidized Bed Reactor (FBR) in reducing the production of 4-Nonylphenol (4-NP) during the biodegradation of NPEO. Two identical FBR filled with sand were used to assess the NPEO degradation and to enhance the microbial consortia capable of breaking down the complex byproducts, ethanol and fumarate were introduced as co-substrates.

- Black men who have sex with men (MSM) in the US South face significant sexual health issues, including high rates of STIs, indicating a need for more prevention strategies beyond just condoms, especially for those on PrEP.
- In-depth interviews with 24 Black MSM aged 18 to 36 revealed that many participants had recently experienced STIs and expressed concerns about the stigma and physical effects of these infections.
- Despite the low condom usage, participants showed a willingness to consider various STI prevention methods, suggesting openness to strategies aimed at reducing STIs in both individual and broader community contexts.
Bio-CH yield of swine manure and food waste optimized by co-substrate proportions diluted in domestic sewage and pH interactions using the response surface approach.

December 2023
This research aimed at evaluating optimal conditions to obtain value-added metabolites, such as bio-CH, by co-digesting swine manure and food waste diluted in domestic sewage. The assays were carried out in batches using the statistical methods of Rotational Central Composite Design (RCCD) and Surface Response to evaluate the ranges of food waste (1.30-9.
