Foaming caused by filamentous bacteria in activated sludge (AS) is a common phenomenon in municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) in Taihu Lake Basin of South China. In this study, total bacterial and filamentous bacterial communities were comprehensively characterized in AS and foams from eight municipal WWTPs by high-throughput sequencing technology. Results showed that alpha diversities of total bacterial communities in foams were obviously lower than those in AS samples.

However, the differentiation of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and microbial communities in different types of biofilms is rarely reported. In this study, successions of ARGs and microbial communities of AS and two types of suspended carrier-attached biofilms over seasons were investigated in the IFAS system of one municipal wastewater treatment plant.

Objective: To further master the Oncomelania hupensis snail situation in Huizhou District, so as to provide the evidence for improving the prevention and control work.
Methods: According to the prevalence of schistosomiasis in history and the characteristics of residual snail points in recent years, the snail surveys were carried out with the environmental sampling and systematic sampling method in history snail environments and their surrounding suspicious environments.
Results: Totally 5,298,940 m2 in 12 administrative villages of 3 townships were investigated and there were 24 406 m2 snail areas at 5 remaining snail spots in 4 administrative villages.
