This study for the first time proposed a method for simultaneously measuring BOD and nitrate in water using electrochemically active bacteria. Firstly, the bidirectional extracellular electron transfer (EET) capability of a model electricigen Shewanella loihica PV-4 was revealed. Then, based on the respective outward and inward EET, S. loihica PV-4 was utilized to detection BOD and nitrate. The results demonstrated a positive correlation between the outward EET and BOD (from 0 mg/L to 435 mg/L) while a negative correlation between the inward EET and nitrate (from 0 mg/L to 7 mg/L); both the relationships were well fitted by the combination of traditional linear model and Michaelis-Menten model (R>0.96). Finally, a dual detection method for BOD and nitrate measurements was established based on the ano-cathodophilic capability of S. loihica PV-4 biofilm, and exhibited the characteristics of high accuracy (>80%) and fast analysis (<1h), suggesting a promising prospect in water monitoring.

In this study, the phytoremediation potential of Taro (Colocasia esculenta L. Schott) plant was examined, utilizing horizontal subsurface flow constructed wetlands with and without an electric current supply for the purpose of removing pollutants from paper mill effluent. For this, different wetlands were set up with varying concentrations of effluent: CW (Control), CW1 (25%), CW2 (50%), CW3 (75%), CW4 (100%).

In the last two decades, cage culture industries have developed in Iranian seas, supplying a portion of the needed protein and contributing to food security. In this paper, environmental impacts of cage culture are investigated, focusing on the physical, hydrodynamical, chemical, geological, and biological oceanographic aspects at the Abbas Abad fish farm in the southern Caspian Sea. Multidisciplinary field measurements were conducted from fall 2018 to late summer 2019 in different oceanographic aspects.

Integrating native ornamental plants with substrate amended with lignocellulosic biomass and biochar in vertical sub-surface flow constructed wetlands offers a novel and effective approach to wastewater treatment. This study evaluates the potential of mesocosm constructed wetland systems using native ornamental plants (Canna indica, Lilium wallichianum, and Tagetes erecta) grown in substrates amended with lignocellulosic biomass and biochar. The influent and effluent were analyzed for pH, total dissolved solids (TDS), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), phosphorus (PO-P), and nitrogen forms, i.
