Microbiome and network analysis reveal potential mechanisms underlying Carassius auratus diseases: The interactions between critical environmental and microbial factors.

Despite the rapid development of research on aquatic environment microbiota, limited attention has been paid to exploring the complex interactions between microbial communities and aquatic environments. Particularly, the mechanisms underlying fish diseases based on such dynamic interactions remain unknown. This study aimed to address the gap by conducting microbiome and co-occurrence network analyses on the typical freshwater aquaculture systems.

Enhanced nitrogen removal of the anaerobic ammonia oxidation process by coupling with an efficient nitrate reducing bacterium (Bacillus velezensis M3-1).

Bacillus velezensis M3-1 strain isolated from the sediment of Myriophyllum aquatium constructed wetlands was found to efficiently convert NO-N to NO-N, and the requirements for carbon source addition were not very rigorous. This work demonstrates, for the first time, the feasibility of using the synergy of anammox and Bacillus velezensis M3-1 microorganisms for nitrogen removal. In this study, the possibility of M3-1 that converted NO-N produced by anammox to NO-N was verified in an anaerobic reactor.

Season and side-chain length affect the occurrences and behaviors of phthalic acid esters in wastewater treatment plants.

Emerging pollutants (EPs) are prevalent in aquatic environments globally. Researchers strive to understand their occurrence and behavior prior to their release into the environment. In this study, we examined five wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), collected 50 wastewater samples and 10 sludge samples.

Production of biochar from squeezed liquid of fruit and vegetable waste: Impacts on soil NO emission and microbial community.

The squeezed liquid from fruit and vegetable waste (LW) presents a unique wastewater challenge, marked by recalcitrance in treatment and amplified design risks with the application of conventional processes. Following coagulation of the squeezed liquid, the majority of particulate matter precipitates. The resulting precipitated floc (LWF) is reclaimed and subsequently utilized for the synthesis of biochar.

Temporal and spatial changes of water quality in intensively developed urban rivers and water environment improvement: a case study of the Longgang River in Shenzhen, China.

The water quality status, spatial and temporal change processes, and water environment improvement process of urban rivers are valuable lessons to be learned under the sustainable development strategy. This study aims to reveal the water environment improvement process of intensively developed urban rivers, elucidate the spatial and temporal distribution characteristics of major pollutants, and provide recommendations for their water environment management. Water quality data from eight monitoring sites (2007-2020) in the Longgang River basin in Shenzhen, China, and comprehensive pollution index method (CPI), modified comprehensive pollution index method (M-CPI), and Pearson correlation analysis method were used for comprehensive analysis.
