Summary: The study of mathematical modeling of DIET and MIET in anaerobic ecosystems offers new strategies for improving biotechnologies. While the modeling of DIET kinetics is still in its early stages, recent concepts introduced for modeling electroactive biofilms should be further developed. DIET shows potential to increase IET rates compared to H 2 -MIET, but additional characterizations of biological components supporting IET are needed to enhance predictions.

Summary: A multiple stage anaerobic system was proven effective for reductive decolorization of azo dyes in the presence of sulfate. The system achieved significant bulk color removal and organic matter and sulfate reduction in separate reactors. By utilizing amplicon sequencing and correlation analysis, the microbial communities and pathways involved in azo dye removal were identified, with reductive decolorization being mainly associated with hydrogen-producing pathways and the involvement of an azoreductase from Lactococcus lactis. The findings enhance our understanding of the role of different microbial communities in anaerobic treatment of azo dyes and can aid in the design of improved solutions for textile effluent treatment.

Summary: Analyzing microbial communities using metagenomes is a powerful approach to understand compositional structures and functional connections in anaerobic digestion (AD) microbiomes. The hybrid sequencing approach of combining short-read and long-read sequencing provides better assembly statistics and generates more high-quality metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs). It is the preferable option for dealing with complex microbiomes.

Summary: Fe2+ and Ni2+ supplementation can enhance the acetate production in microbial electrosynthesis (MES) through CO2 reduction. The addition of Fe2+ and Ni2+ significantly increased the acetate production. Fe2+ and Ni2+ addition had little effect on microbial composition, but up-regulated the gene expression of energy metabolism and the carbon fixation pathways. Fe2+ and Ni2+ addition also promoted the expression of the methyl branch and carboxyl branch of the Wood-Ljungdahl pathway, resulting in increased acetate production.

Summary: This study investigated the structure and diversity of duckweed-associated bacteria (DAB) among four duckweed subtypes under natural and nutrient-deficient conditions using 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing. The results showed that Proteobacteria was the dominant phylum in duckweed samples. A total of 24 microbial genera were identified as a core microbiome, with consistent proportions across all duckweed subtypes. The diversity of microbial communities decreased after nutrient-deficient stress, but the relative abundance of certain genera significantly increased. Functional prediction of the metagenome data revealed enrichment of essential pathways involved in DAB colonization and biodegradation under stress condition.

Summary: In this study, four bacterial strains isolated from the regurgitation fluid of Ostrinia furnacalis and Helicoverpa armigera were found to alter gene expression profiles in maize, affecting phytohormones, secondary metabolic pathways, transcription factors, MAPK, and plant-pathogen interaction-related genes. A total of 210 genes showed similar changes to those after insect feeding. Symbiotic insect bacteria participate in insect-plant interactions by changing maize gene expression profiles, which can potentially be used to develop anti-pest microbial agents through activating the plant defense system.

Summary: Significant progress has been made in environmental management since 2016, when crop rotation and fallow were introduced in heavy metal-contaminated areas. The satisfaction of farmers with the treatment effect of heavy metal pollution and their income increased. The study found that education level and pollution degree have a positive influence on satisfaction and income, while family income has a negative influence. Age level has a positive influence on satisfaction but a negative influence on income.

Summary: In this study, a human physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model of diethyl phthalate (DEP) was developed to assess its toxicity. The model considers the distribution and metabolism of DEP and its active metabolite monoethyl phthalate (MEP) in different tissue compartments. Sensitivity analysis and Bayesian Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) simulations were performed to evaluate the uncertainty and variability of the model parameters. The results suggest that dermal absorption is an important route of exposure to DEP in the environment.

Summary: This study investigates the feasibility and mechanisms of a chemical-free nanobubble-based AOP for treating organic micropollutants in water. The results show that the oxygen nanobubble AOP has a significantly higher removal efficiency compared to air and nitrogen nanobubbles. The treatment performance is not affected by pH and the presence of ions. Higher initial concentrations of the micropollutant lead to slower treatment processes, but similar removal performance is achieved in the end. The presence of organic matter reduces the removal rate of the micropollutant. The results have practical feasibility for water and wastewater treatment.

It was found that increasing the application of thiencarbazone-methyl center dot isoxaflutole resulted in increased stress on soil bacterial community structure and diversity. Increasing soil pH was recognized as a key factor in improving the diversity and structure of soil microflora. Supplemental use of nitrapyrin or modified attapulgite can increase soil pH and improve bacterial diversity.
