Given the environmental challenge caused by the wide use of polyacrylamide (PAM), an environmental-friendly treatment method is required. This study demonstrates the role of Acidovorax sp. strain PSJ13 isolated from dewatered sludge in efficiently degrading PAM. To be specific, the strain PSJ13 can degrade 51.67% of PAM in 96 h (2.39 mg/(L h)) at 35 °C, pH 7.5 and 5% inoculation amount. Besides, scanning electron microscope, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry and high-performance liquid chromatography were employed to analyze samples, and the nitrogen present in the degradation products was investigated. The results showed that the degradation of PAM by PSJ13 started from the side chain and then mainly the -C-C- main chain, which produced no acrylamide monomers. As the first study to report the role of Acidovorax in efficiently degrading PAM, this work may provide a solution for industries that require PAM management.

The complex interplay among plants, microbes, and the environment strongly affects productivity of vegetation ecosystems; however, determining causal relationships among various factors in these systems remains challenging. To address this issue, this study aimed to evaluate the potential of a data analytical framework called empirical dynamic modeling, which identifies causal links and directions solely from time series data. By cultivating duckweed, a promising aquatic plant for biomass production and wastewater treatment, we obtained a 63-day time series data of plant productivity, microbial community structure, wastewater treatment performance, and environmental factors.

Bacteriophage (phage) AP1 has been reported to effectively lyse , the causative agent of bacterial brown stripe in rice. However, phage AP1 exhibits strain-specific lysis patterns. In order to enhance the potential of phages for biological control of rice bacterial brown stripe, this study investigated the possible mechanism of strain-specific infection by characterizing phage AP1 and its susceptible (RS-2) and resistant (RS-1) strains.

Article Synopsis
  • Dye wastewater pollution, particularly from aniline blue, is a significant environmental issue due to its toxic properties and difficulty in treatment.
  • This study investigates the enzyme SDRz found in strain CT1, which effectively degrades aniline blue through specific enzymatic mechanisms and degradation pathways.
  • Functional tests showed that SDRz is essential for this degradation, with the enzyme demonstrating substantial activity and efficiency in breaking down aniline blue into less harmful metabolites.
