Microalgae-bacteria consortia (MBC) system has been shown to enhance the efficiency of microalgae in wastewater treatment, yet its effectiveness in treating levofloxacin (LEV) wastewater remains unexplored. This study compared the treatment of LEV wastewater using pure Chlorella pyrenoidosa (PA) and its MBC constructed with activated sludge bacteria. The results showed that MBC improved the removal efficiency of LEV from 3.50-5.41 % to 33.62-57.20 % by enhancing the growth metabolism of microalgae. The MBC increased microalgae biomass and extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) secretion, yet reduced photosynthetic pigment content compared to the PA. At the phylum level, Proteobacteria and Actinobacteriota are the major bacteria in MBC. Furthermore, the transcriptome reveals that the growth-promoting effects of MBC are associated with the up-regulation of genes encoding the glycolysis, the citrate cycle (TCA cycle), and the pentose phosphate pathway. Enhanced carbon fixation, coupled with down-regulation of photosynthetic electron transfer processes, suggests an energy allocation mechanism within MBC. The up-regulation of porphyrin and arachidonic acid metabolism, along with the expression of genes encoding LEV-degrading enzymes, provides evidence of MBC's superior tolerance to and degradation of LEV. Overall, these findings lead to a better understanding of the underlying mechanisms through which MBC outperforms PA in treating LEV wastewater.

Traditional homogeneous Fenton systems face limitations, including a narrow pH range, potential secondary pollution, and poor repeatability. In this study, these bottlenecks in tetracycline wastewater treatment were addressed with using carbonized porous polyethyleneimine-grafted lignin microspheres (PLMs) supported Fe-loading catalysts (PLMs/Fe-C). An optimized PLMs/Fe-C catalyst under specific conditions (carbonization temperature: 350 °C, PLMs: Fe = 1:1, and alkali lignin: PEI = 1:4) was developed, which proved to be an efficient Fenton-like catalyst for tetracycline (TC) degradation.

Overuse of levofloxacin (LEV) is often associated with bacterial resistance and serious health problems, underscoring the need for reliable sensing and monitoring of LEV molecules. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate LEV using boron-doped diamond (BDD) and boron-doped diamond modified with MXene (TiCT) (BDD-MXene) electrode. The successful deposition of MXene on the BDD surface was confirmed using scanning electron microscope (SEM).

A novel citric acid (CA) modulation strategy was developed to prepare strong magnetic CoFe-LDH/CoFeO-C composites, which were combined with dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) to effectively degrade levofloxacin (LEV) in wastewater. Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM) test showed that CA modulation facilitated a more powerful internal electric field to drive rapid charge migration. The addition of CoFe-LDH/CoFeO-C increased LEV degradation from 78.
