Bioelectroremediation is an efficient, sustainable, and environment-friendly remediation technology for the complexly contaminated sediments. Although various recalcitrant pollutants could be degraded in the electrode district, the degradation efficiency was generally confined by the low total organic carbon (TOC) content in the sediment. How to enhance the electroactive degraders' activity and efficiency remain poorly understood. Here we investigated the bioeletroremediation of a complexly contaminated river sediment with low TOC in a cylindric sediment microbial fuel cell stimulated by methanol. After 200 days treatment, the degradation efficiencies of total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), and cycloalkenes (CYE) in the electrode district with methanol stimulation were 1.45-4.38 times higher compared with those in the non-electrode district without methanol stimulation. The overall electrode district communities were significantly positively correlated with the variables of the enhanced TPH, PAH, CYE and TOC degradation efficiencies (p < .01). The joint electrical and exogenous methanol stimulation selectively enriched electroactive degraders (Geobacter and Desulfobulbus) in the anode biofilms, and their proportion was markedly positively correlated with the characteristic and total pollutants degradation efficiencies (p < .001). This study offers a new insight into the response of key electroactive degraders to the joint stimulation process.

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of spent mushroom substrate (P.SMS), which is characterized by high production but low utilization, on feed utilization and liver serum indices from the perspective of duodenal microorganisms. Forty-five 3-month-old Hu sheep were randomly assigned to five groups and fed diets in which whole-plant corn silage (WPCS) was substituted with P.

Background: The primary pathogen responsible for bronchoscope contamination is . Conventional techniques for bronchoscopy disinfection and pathogen identification methods are characterized by time-consuming and operation complexly. The objective of this research is to establish a prompt and precise method for the identification of , with the ultimate goal of mitigating the risk of nosocomial infections linked to this pathogen.

Many factors contribute to the ability of a microbial species to persist when encountering complexly contaminated environments, including time of exposure, the nature and concentration of contaminants, availability of nutritional resources, and possession of a combination of appropriate molecular mechanisms needed for survival. Herein we sought to identify genes that are most important for survival of Gram-negative Enterobacteriaceae in contaminated groundwater environments containing high concentrations of nitrate and metals using the metal-tolerant Oak Ridge Reservation isolate, Pantoea sp. MT58 (MT58).

Nearly 57 million people depend on Yamuna's water for their daily needs and agriculture. This is the first study of assessment of the Yamuna River for five major pollutants - Nitrate, Sulfate, Phosphate, Silicon, and Chloride, and the role of inhabitant algal species for phycoremediation. Water samples were collected from 11 different locations across three different seasons and it was found that the concentration of these pollutants varies in different locations and seasons.

Industrial sites affected by anthropogenic contamination, both past and present-day, commonly have intricate pollutant patterns, and source discrimination can be thus highly challenging. To this goal, this paper presents a novel approach combining multivariate statistics and environmental forensic techniques. The efficiency of this methodology was exemplified in a severely polluted estuarine area (Avilés, Spain), where factor analysis and clustering were performed to identify sub-areas with distinct geochemical behaviour.
