Summary: This review discusses the challenges of applying mainstream deammonification in sewage treatment and the impacts of unfavorable conditions on main functional species. Novel control strategies to maintain the dominant position of desired species were summarized, and an efficient solution to the conflict between AnAOB biomass retention and NOB washout was reviewed. Further studies are suggested to achieve a combination of autotrophy and organotrophy species based on the metabolic diversity of AnAOB.

Summary: Microbial nitrite oxidation is the primary pathway for nitrate generation in wastewater treatment systems, performed by various nitrite-oxidizing bacteria (NOB). However, NOB have become troublesome disruptors in advanced biological nitrogen removal, and strategies for NOB suppression often fail due to their ability to adapt to harsh conditions. This review highlights the phylogenetic and physiological diversities of NOB and emphasizes the importance of understanding their physiological characterization and genomic information in future wastewater treatment studies.

Summary: This review focuses on the application of solar photo-Fenton as a post-treatment for municipal secondary effluents (MSE) in developing tropical countries. While alternative technologies like stabilization ponds and upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) are widely used in these countries, there is limited data on the use of solar photo-Fenton to improve the quality of effluents from UASB systems. The review summarizes the main achievements and limitations associated with the application of solar photo-Fenton at pilot scale and neutral pH, and discusses the challenges of using it as a post-treatment for MSE generated by alternative treatments.

Summary: Ammonia-nitrogen (NH3-N) and Bisphenol A (BPA) are two common pollutants found in wastewater, with NH3-N utilizing dissolved oxygen and causing eutrophication, and BPA disrupting hormones and system function even at low levels. This review discusses their levels and effects in domestic wastewater, emphasizing the biological treatment of these contaminants. A new 'co-biofilm' treatment, combining a moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR) and water hyacinth, is introduced for simultaneous removal of NH3-N and BPA. Further studies are needed to optimize the performance of this environmentally friendly system.

Summary: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing threat to human and animal health. Wastewater treatment plants can either act as a pathway for AMR spread or as a barrier to reduce the environmental release of anthropogenic AMR. State of the art ARB identification technologies have enriched ARG/ARB databases, unveiled keystone species in AMR networks, and improved the resolution of AMR dissemination models.
