Denitrification was compared between Paracoccus sp. and Diaphorobacter sp. in this study, both of which were isolated from activated sludge of a denitrifying reactor. Denitrification of both isolates showed contrasting patterns, where Diaphorobacter sp. showed accumulation of nitrite in the medium while Paracoccus sp. showed no accumulation. The nitrate reduction rate was 1.5 times more than the nitrite reduction in Diaphorobacter sp., as analyzed by the resting state denitrification kinetics. Increasing the nitrate concentration in the medium increased the nitrite accumulation in Diaphorobacter sp., but not in Paracoccus sp., indicating a branched electron transfer during denitrification. Diaphorobacter sp. was unable to denitrify efficiently at high nitrate concentrations from 1 M, but Paracoccus sp. could denitrify even up to 2 M nitrate. Paracoccus sp. was found to be an efficient denitrifier with insignificant amounts of nitrite accumulation, and it could also denitrify high amounts of nitrate up to 2 M. Efficient denitrification without accumulation of intermediates like nitrite is desirable in the removal of high nitrates from wastewaters. Paracoccus sp. is shown to suffice this demand and could be a potential organism to remove high nitrates effectively.

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.

Aerobic granular sludge (AGS) needs a long start-up time and always shows unstable performance when it is used to treat low-strength wastewater. In this study, a rapid static feeding combined with Fe addition as a novel strategy was employed to improve the formation and stability of AGS in treating low-strength wastewater. Fe-AGS was formed within only 7 days and showed favorable pollutant removal capability and settling performance.

The river sediment contains a lot of pollutants in many cases, and needs to be treated appropriately for the restoration of water environments. In this study, a novel method was developed to convert river sediment into denitrifying sludge in a sequencing batch reactor (SBR). The river sediment was added into the reactor daily and the hydraulic retention time (HRT) of the reactor was gradually reduced from 8 to 4 h.

Indole is a typical nitrogen-containing aromatic pollutant in coking wastewater, and it can be used for the microbial production of indigo, one of the oldest dyestuffs. In this study, the activated sludge system bioaugmented with two indigo-producing bacterial strains, wild strain Comamonas sp. MQ and recombinant Escherichia coli (ND_IND), was constructed to investigate indigo bioproduction from indole.
