A modified sequencing batch reactor (SBR) operated at the anaerobic-aerobic-anoxic mode was developed in this study to fully utilize the organics in landfill leachate (ammonia concentration of 1000 ± 50 mg N/L and COD/total nitrogen (TN) ratio of 1-4). The unique feature of modified SBR process was the addition of an anaerobic stage after feeding stage, so that microorganisms could store the organics during anaerobic stage and supply the carbon source for endogenous denitritation after aeration stage. The 70-day operational tests showed the effluent TN was below 10 mg N/L at C/N ratio of 4. The intracellular stored polymers were analyzed and the microorganisms were capable of storing the carbon source as polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) and glycogen in anaerobic stage, which were the electron donors for endogenous denitritation. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis showed that glycogen accumulating organisms (GAOs) account for 39.8% of microorganisms in SBR, and carried out advanced nitrogen removal.

In agricultural production systems, the harm of both antibiotics and microplastics (MPs) to human health has been an important and continuously concerned issue. A small bagged silage production system was designed to investigate the effects of Lactoplantibacillus plantarum, polyethylene (PE) -MPs and their mixture on the silage fermentation and chemical composition of Tetracycline (TET) -contaminated whole plant maize. In addition, the bacterial community of silage samples was analyzed by using next generation genome sequencing technology.

Soil-transmitted helminths (STH) are widespread, with Ascaris lumbricoides infecting millions globally. Malaria and STH co-infections are common in co-endemic regions. Artemisinin derivatives (ARTs)-artesunate, artemether, and dihydroartemisinin-are standard malaria treatments and are also known to influence the energy metabolism of parasites, tumors, and immune cells.

Background: Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is a significant global public health issue due to its high recurrence rate and association with various adverse health effects. Understanding the composition and dynamics of the vaginal microbiota (VMB) is essential for better understanding of vaginal health and for developing effective strategies to improve BV management. The study aimed to determine the composition and diversity of the VMB in Thai women with BV before and after metronidazole (MTZ) treatment, and in healthy women.

In the context of the energy transition, European countries pursue the common goal of increasing the share of renewable gases (from anaerobic digestion, pyrogasification, and hydrothermal gasification for instance) in the gas mix. Although produced gases are mainly composed of methane after upgrading, impurities of various natures and quantities may also be present in the produced raw gases and still after upgrading, including volatile organic compounds (VOCs) at trace levels that may have an impact on different stages of the gas chain even at low concentrations. These new renewable and/or low-carbon gases imply the need to develop new analytical tools to deeply characterize them, and thus fully manage their integration into the gas value chain.
