Metagenomics Insights Into the Microbial Diversity and Microbiome Network Analysis on the Heterogeneity of Influent to Effluent Water.

Sanitizing the water sources of local communities is important to control the spread of microbial resistance genes, especially those for water-borne illnesses. The activities of antibiotic resistance gene (ARG)-host pathogens pose a threat to public health, and it has been estimated that the infection will lead up to 10 million deaths globally by the year 2050. Hence, in this study, we aim to analyze the efficiency of our municipal wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) process in producing pathogen-free water by investigating the microbial composition between influent and effluent water sites.

Influence of static mixer on the development of aerobic granules for the treatment of low-medium strength domestic wastewater.

The present work investigates the feasibility of aerobic granulation for the treatment of low-medium strength domestic wastewater for long-term operation and effects of a static mixer on the properties and removal performances of the aerobic granules formed. The static mixer was installed in a sequential batch reactor to provide higher hydrodynamic shear force in enhancing the formation of the aerobic granules. Aerobic granules were successfully formed in the domestic wastewater, and the granulation treatment system was sustained for a period of 356 days without granules disintegration.
