This study evaluated denitrification systems using two carbon sources: glucose alone (G), and a mixture of glucose, methanol, and sodium acetate (GMS), treating synthetic saline wastewater to prove the superior operational efficiency of the mixed carbon sources. Both systems showed excellent nitrogen removal under 80 g-NaCl L, but the glucose-based system exhibited unstable nitrate removal at a low C/N ratio of 3. Microbial community composition was distinct between the systems the GMS system showed highest organic removal due to the abundance of Marinobacter spp., and the prediction of functional genes using phylogenetic investigation of communities by reconstruction of unobserved states (PICRUSt) showed an increase of denitrifying genes such as nitrate (Nar), and nitrite (Nir) reductase in GMS. Co-occurrence network analysis revealed that GMS guaranteed diverse microbial interactions and stable network structure, facilitating enhanced denitrification capability. This study offers engineering insights into microbial denitrification under hypersaline conditions.

Porous KTi(PO) nanoparticles are synthesized via a solvothermal method and subsequently modified with nitrogen-doped carbon layers by using polydopamine as the carbon source. The resultant KTi(PO)@N-doped carbon composite (KTP@NC) exhibits a preserved porous structure with abundant pores, facilitating ion diffusion and electrolyte infiltration. Various characterizations, including X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and Raman spectroscopy, reveal the successful formation of an interconnected nitrogen-doped carbon network.

The excessive utilization and emission of waste plastics have caused serious damage to the environment, and it is of great significance to explore high-value utilization methods for these waste plastics. To address this challenge, functional nano cobalt-loaded porous carbon materials (CoPC) with excellent antibiotic wastewater removal properties were prepared by one-step pyrolysis using waste PET plastics as a carbon source, a process described in this paper. Characterization revealed that the obtained CoPC-2 catalysts had a high degree of defects, a large specific surface area (343.

infects the placenta of its natural bovine host, which results in abortion and transmission of infection to other cattle and to humans. While the metabolism of during chronic infection of the mononuclear phagocyte system has been studied, the nutrients fueling growth of in the placenta are unknown. We found that in mice, glucose is an important carbon source for in the placenta.

Advancing durable solutions for carbon storage and removal at the gigaton scale to produce solid carbonates carbon mineralization requires harnessing earth abundant magnesium silicate resources. Calibrated insights linking the structural and morphological features of earth abundant amorphous and crystalline magnesium silicate phases to their reactivity are essential for scalable deployment but remain underdeveloped. To resolve the influence of silica coordination and mass transfer on carbon mineralization behavior, magnesium silicates bearing amorphous and crystalline phases (AC Mg-silicate) are synthesized.

There is substantial interest in restoring tidal wetlands because of their high rates of long-term soil carbon sequestration and other valued ecosystem services. However, these wetlands are sometimes net sources of greenhouse gases (GHG) that may offset their climate cooling potential. GHG fluxes vary widely within and across tidal wetlands, so it is essential to better understand how key environmental drivers, and importantly, land management, affect GHG dynamics.
