The present study deals with cultivation of 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (TCP) degrading aerobic granules in two SBR systems based on glucose and acetate as co-substrate. Biodegradation of TCP containing wastewater starting from 10 to 360 mg L(-1) with more than 90% efficiency was achieved. Sludge volume index decreases as the operation proceeds to stabilize at 35 and 30 mL g(-1) while MLVSS increases from 4 to 6.5 and 6.2 g L(-1) for R1 (with glucose as co-substrate) and R2 (with sodium acetate as co-substrate), respectively. FTIR, GC and GC/MS spectral studies shows that the biodegradation occurred via chlorocatechol pathway and the cleavage may be at ortho-position. Haldane model for inhibitory substrate was applied to the system and it was observed that glucose fed granules have a high specific degradation rate and efficiency than acetate fed granules. Genotoxicity studies shows that effluent coming from SBRs was non-toxic.

With the widespread use of typical antibiotics such as sulfamethazine (SMT), it leads to their accumulation in the environment, increasing the risk of the spread of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). Aerobic granular sludge (AGS) has shown great potential in treating antibiotic wastewater. However, the long cultivation period of AGS, the easy disintegration of particles and the poor stability of degradation efficiency for highly concentrated antibiotic wastewater are still urgent problems that need to be solved, and it is important to explore the migration and changes of ARGs and microbial diversity in AGS systems.

Excessive organic matter in the anaerobic ammonia oxidation (Anammox) leads to the growth of a large number of heterotrophic bacteria, which disrupts the anaerobic ammonia oxidation. The adsorption-anaerobic ammonia oxidation process can effectively reduce excessive organic matter, capturing it instead of consuming it, which is a sustainable development technology. In this study, utilizing the excellent adsorption performance of aerobic granular sludge (AGS), an adsorption-regeneration process was employed to remove organic matter at the front end of the Anammox process through bio-adsorption in an artificial simulated domestic sewage environment, and it was successfully used for denitrification.

The vestibular processing regions of the cerebellum integrate vestibular information with other sensory modalities and motor signals to regulate balance, gaze stability, and spatial orientation. A class of excitatory glutamatergic interneurons known as unipolar brush cells (UBCs) are highly concentrated within the granule cell layer of these regions. UBCs receive vestibular signals directly from primary vestibular afferents and indirectly from mossy fibers.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), as a complex, multisystemic, and multisystemic disorder affecting multiple organs and systems, often accompanies by symptoms such as post-exercise discomfort, sleep disorders, cognitive difficulties, and orthostatic intolerance. Jingfang Granule (JFG) is a traditional Chinese medicine that have significant protective effects on CFS, but the mechanism is still vague.
Aim Of Study: This study was designed to evaluate the protective mechanism of JFG on mice with CFS.

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.
