Published: October 2011

The occurrence and fate of 2,4,7,9-tetramethyl-5-decyne-4,7-diol (TMDD) was investigated in four wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) in Germany. The concentration of TMDD in influents and effluents in the WWTPs ranged from 134 ng/L to 5846 ng/L and from

Salinity is considered one of the basic abiotic factors influencing the diversity and distribution of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in soils, yet little is known about the distribution and driving factors of ARGs in naturally saline soils. In this study, metagenomic analysis was conducted to explore the intricate dynamics among soil salinity, microbial community structure and ARGs propagation, with a particular focus on the key contribution of rare potential-hosts of ARGs in light and heavy saline soils. The findings revealed that salinity was significantly negatively correlated with the abundance of ARGs, light saline soils hosted a greater abundance of ARGs than high saline soils, with particularly significant enrichment in genes conferring resistance to multidrug, vancomycin, bacitracin and tetracenomycin C.

Unlabelled: Soil household floors are common in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) and can serve as reservoirs of enteric pathogens. Cement-based floors may interrupt pathogen transmission, but little is known about pathogen survival or removal from cement-based surfaces. This study investigated the survival of , an indicator of fecal contamination, on cement-based surfaces and evaluated its reduction through common household activities (mopping, sweeping, and walking).

The synchronization of follicular waves prior to the initiation of superovulation is a prerequisite for successful results. This study investigates the feasibility of applying transvaginal follicle ablation (TFA) as an alternative to hormonal treatments for synchronization in dromedary camels. In experiment 1, the follicular cycle of pre-synchronized and naturally cycling camels (n = 24) was monitored and all structures > 4 mm were ablated in subgroups of animals (n = 4 each) at early, mid, and late stages of the follicular cycle.

Impact of long-term and short-term magnesium hydroxide dosing on transformation of chemical biomarkers in the sewer systems.

Magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)₂) dosing is widely applied for sewer odour control. However, its impact on the fate of biomarkers used for wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) has been overlooked. This study investigated the long-term and short-term impact of Mg(OH)₂ dosing on in-sewer transformation of 20 biomarkers.
