In this study, a pyridine-degrading bacterium, Paracoccus denitrifican W12, was isolated. It was cultivated to grow on the surface of activated bamboo charcoal (ABC) particles so that the ABC turned into biological activated bamboo charcoal (BABC) covered with biofilm of the W12. Free cells of the W12 and the BABC were separately tested in removing pyridine from aqueous solution. The results showed that 0.31 g x L(-1) suspended growing-W12 completely degraded 48.70-1399 mg x L(-1) of pyridine within 26.5-48.9 h, while the BABC (attached growing-W12) degraded pyridine much more efficiently due to the combination of biodegradation and adsorption. When the dosage of BABC was 10.0 g x L(-1) at the temperature of 35 degrees C, 692.2 mg x L(-1) of pyridine was decreased by 52% in the first 3.6 h mainly by adsorption, then was totally removed within 23.7 h mainly by biodegradation. Increasing the dosage of BABC or batch of treatment promoted the efficiency of pyridine removal remarkably. The synergistic mechanism of BABC removing pyridine from aqueous solution was further discussed on the basis of its microstructure.

Aedes albopictus is a widely recognized carrier of various pathogens. Its resilient characteristics enable it to easily spread across diverse climates. The microbiota in the midgut of mosquitoes plays a crucial role in the interactions between the host and pathogens and can either enhance or reduce the ability of the insect to transmit diseases.

This study examined the removal and toxicity reduction of mixed pharmaceutically active compounds (PhACs), including carbamazepine, erythromycin, gemfibrozil, and diclofenac, in the UV/HO tandem with biologically activated carbon (UV/HO-BAC) process and explored potential detoxification mechanisms. Results indicated that the combined process effectively removed the mixed PhACs, with the UV/HO segment being the primary contributor. As distinct from concentration removal, the effluent toxicity significantly increased after UV/HO treatment.

Micro-polluted surface waters (MPSWs) draw increased concern for environmental protection. However, traditional treatment methods such as activated sludge, ozone activated carbon, and membrane filtration suffer from high cost and susceptibility to secondary pollution and are rarely used to address MPSWs. Herein, a new stepped combined constructed wetland planted with without additional inputs was developed.

Skin bacteria infection could be a potential risk factor on wound scar formation, yet the specifics of this relationship are not fully understood. This research investigates the causal relationships between specific skin microbiome and these diseases by using bidirectional Mendelian randomization (MR). This study employed a bidirectional MR analysis using genome-wide association study (GWAS) data to analyze the associations between skin microbiome and pathological scar.

Granular size induces the operation performance variation of aerobic granular sludge reactor, but the profound reasons are unrevealed. This study investigated the influence of granular size distribution on the reactor operation under salt stress. The effective nitrogen removal was achieved at ≤4% salinity, but declined at 6% salinity.
