Effect of different size microplastic particles on the construction of algal-bacterial biofilms and microbial communities.

Algal-bacterial symbiotic system is a biological purification system that combines sewage treatment with resource utilization and has the dual effects of carbon sequestration and pollution reduction. In this study, an immobilized algal-bacterial biofilm system was constructed for the treatment of natural sewage. Effects of exposure to microplastics (MPs) with different particle diameters (0.

The binding effect and photooxidation on oxytetracycline with algal extracellular polymeric substances and natural organic matter.

Surface water contains a large amount of dissolved organic matter (DOM). Interactions between DOM and micropollutants have a significant impact on micropollutant degradation. In this study, algal extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) and natural organic matter (NOM) were selected as two DOM sources and oxytetracycline (OTC) as a representative micropollutant.

Effects of microplastics of different sizes on the Chlorella vulgaris - Ganoderma lucidum co-pellets formation processes.

The effects of different sized MPs on the formation process of algal-fungal co-pellets were studied. The results show that a maximum biomass recovery of 70.96% and a minimum F/F ratio of 0.

Increasing oxytetracycline and enrofloxacin concentrations on the algal growth and sewage purification performance of an algal-bacterial consortia system.

Oxytetracycline (OTC) and enrofloxacin (EFX) pollution in surface water are very common. Using the algal-bacterial consortia system to remove antibiotics remains to be further studied. In this study, the algal growth and sewage purification performance were studied in an algal-bacterial consortia system with different concentrations of antibiotics.
