Summary: In this study, the aliphatic oxime HIPD was investigated as a mediator for laccase-catalyzed decolorization and detoxification of synthetic dyes. The results demonstrated the potential and limitations of using HIPD as a mediator for enzymatic decolorization of various types of dyes. The proposed laccase-mediator system showed high efficiency in degrading certain dyes, but had lower efficiency for other dyes. The system also showed the ability to convert dyes into low-toxicity metabolites.

Summary: This study focused on the removal of Drimaren Turquoise CL-B reactive dye using the white rot fungus Schizophyllum commune, considering current environmental conditions. Various parameters such as pH, carbon and nitrogen sources, temperature, dye concentration, and C/N ratio were investigated. The highest dye removal (95.45%) was achieved at pH 4.5, temperature 35°C, inoculum size 3 mL, veratryl alcohol mediator, glucose carbon source, and ammonium nitrate nitrogen source. The enzyme activity assay showed low laccase and lignin peroxidase (LiP) activity, while manganese peroxidase (MnP) activity was the highest. Maximum biosorption occurred at pH 1 and 313 K. The pseudo-2(nd)-order kinetic model and Freundlich isotherm were the best fit for dye removal. Overall, white rot fungus shows promise as an excellent biomaterial for removing synthetic dyes from wastewater.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of the non-antibiotic pharmaceutical carbamazepine on antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) during anaerobic digestion. The results showed that carbamazepine induced the enrichment of ARGs and increased the abundance of bacteria carrying these genes. It also facilitated microbial aggregation and intercellular communication, leading to an increased frequency of ARGs transmission. Moreover, carbamazepine promoted the acquisition of ARGs by pathogens and elevated their overall abundance.

Summary: This paper developed a machine learning model to predict the biochemical methane potential during anaerobic digestion. Model analysis identified lignin content, organic loading, and nitrogen content as key attributes for methane production prediction. For feedstocks with high cellulose content, early methane production is lower but can be improved by prolonging digestion time. Moreover, lignin content exceeding a certain value significantly inhibits methane production.
