Membrane Electro-Bioreactor (MEBR), exhibited excellent nitrogen removal in mariculture wastewater treatment. However, the differences of microbial community and nitrogen transformation pathways on spatial scale caused by the mass transfer of reactive chlorine species (RCS) generated by electrooxidation were unclear. This study provided new insights into the space heterogeneity of ammonia transformation pathways and mechanisms. The results demonstrated an increase in the reduction of nitrate to nitrite through partial denitrification on the membrane. Coupling with dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonium and RCS, higher nitrate (0.3 mgN/L) and TN removal (2.6 mgN/L) was obtained in MEBR. Higher relative abundance of narGHI and nirB were obtained. Ammonia oxidation by biofilters was enhanced in MEBR, that ammonia removal contributed by biofilters was 32.0 %, 5.2 times higher than the membrane. Relative abundance of amoABC and Nitrosomonas in biofilters were the highest. The results will provide theoretical basis for reactor configuration and operation optimization.

Stereoselective amino alcohol synthesis via chemoselective electrocatalytic radical cross-couplings.

Amino alcohols are vital in natural products, pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, and as key building blocks for various applications. Traditional synthesis methods often rely on polar bond retrosynthetic analysis, requiring extensive protecting group manipulations that complicate direct access. Here we show a streamlined approach using a serine-derived chiral carboxylic acid in stereoselective electrocatalytic decarboxylative transformations, enabling efficient access to enantiopure amino alcohols.

Food systems require urgent transformation towards social and ecological sustainability. Degrowth posits a radical pathway of transformation to reduce ecological impacts while increasing well-being and reducing inequality. Here we highlight that degrowth and food systems-albeit both linked to transformation-are not well integrated.

Resting natural killer (NK) cells display immediate effector functions after recognizing transformed or infected cells. The environmental nutrients and metabolic requirements to sustain these functions are not fully understood. Here, we show that NK cells rely on the use of extracellular pyruvate to support effector functions, signal transduction and cell viability.

The removal of toxic nitrophenols from the industrial wastewater is urgently needed from health, environmental and economic aspects. The present study deals with the synthesis of crosslinked vinyl polymer Poly(divinylbenzene) (poly(DVB)) through free radical polymerization technique using AIBN as initiator and acetonitrile as solvent. The prepared polymer was used as a support for silver nanoparticles via chemical reduction of silver nitrate on the polymer network.

The relationship between hearing loss (HL) and Parkinson's disease (PD) remains unclear. Using individual-level and summary-level data from the UK Biobank and the largest genome-wide association studies, we examined this link through observational, Mendelian randomization and genetic pleiotropy analyses. Among 158,229 participants, PD risk rose with HL severity especially in elder and males, and hearing aids significantly reduced PD risk in males.
