AI Article Synopsis

  • The study examined how bacterial communities change during aerobic granulation processes, particularly focusing on nitrifiers and the influence of different wastewater types using advanced sequencing techniques.
  • It found a significant decrease in bacterial diversity after granulation, with the bacterial structure of the resulting aerobic granular sludge (AGS) being quite different from the original seed sludge.
  • Notably, minor bacterial genera from the seed sludge became dominant in AGS, suggesting they play a vital role in the granulation process, while many dominant genera from the seed sludge declined or vanished.

Article Abstract

Shifts in bacterial community composition and abundance of nitrifiers during aerobic granulation, and the effects of wastewater composition on them were investigated using Illumina sequencing and quantitative PCR. The bacterial diversity decreased sharply during the post-granulation period. Although cultivated with different wastewater types, aerobic granular sludge (AGS) formed with similar bacterial structure. The bacterial structure in AGS was completely different from that of seed sludge. The minor genera in seed sludge, e.g., Arcobacter, Aeromonas, Flavobacterium and Acinetobacter, became the dominant genera in AGS. These genera have the potential to secrete excess extracellular polymer substances. Whereas, the dominant genera in seed sludge were found in less amount or even disappeared in AGS. During aerobic granulation, ammonia-oxidizing archaea were gradually washed-out. While, ammonia-oxidizing bacteria, complete ammonia oxidizers and nitrite-oxidizing bacteria were retained. Overall, in this study, the bacterial genera with low relative abundance in seed sludge are important for aerobic granulation.

Effective organic matter removal via bio-adsorption prior to anammox process and utilization of carbon-rich sludge.

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.

Adult Neurogenesis in the Human Dentate Gyrus.

Hippocampus

Laboratory of Genetics, The Salk Institute for Biological Studies, La Jolla, California, USA.

In the adult dentate gyrus of the hippocampus there are neuronal stem cells that give rise to immature neurons and subsequently to mature functional granule neurons. The rate of proliferation, differentiation, and survival is regulated intrinsically and extrinsically. For example, Wnt, BMP, TLX, and BDNF all regulate adult neurogenesis intrinsically, while exercise, environmental enrichment, stress, and epilepsy are some of the extrinsic factors that regulate adult neurogenesis.
