Summary: In this study, three strains with high adaptability and different degrading characteristics to MTBE were cultured, and kinetic models were established to simulate the biodegradation process of MTBE by the strains at different concentrations. The study found that a mixed consortium of the three strains significantly enhanced the removal efficiency and rate of MTBE, especially at high concentrations. Furthermore, the mixed consortium showed strong adaptability and effectively removed other gasoline components. This research provides support for the use of a mixed consortium to remediate MTBE-contaminated environments.

Summary: In this study, an MTBE-degrading enzyme, prmABCD, was identified and its role in MTBE metabolism was revealed. Transcriptome analysis showed that the expression of prmABCD was upregulated by MTBE. Functional characterization demonstrated that prmABCD could catalyze the degradation of MTBE, and the loss of genes encoding the oxygenase subunits, coupling protein, or reductase disrupted MTBE degradation. The catalytic capacity of PRM was influenced by specific amino acid residues in the active site and substrate tunnel.

Summary: This study explores the interaction mechanism of ChCl-based deep eutectic solvents (DESs) in the liquid-liquid extraction of the methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE)-methanol (MeOH) system. The results show that the extraction of MeOH by DESs is primarily influenced by the van der Waals interactions between chlorine atoms in ChCl and hydrogen atoms in the MeOH hydroxyl group. Liquid-liquid equilibrium experiments demonstrate the ideal separation effect, and a complete separation process for the MTBE-MeOH system is developed based on experimental data.

Summary: Microbial electrochemical technology (MET) has shown promise in treating wastewater contaminated with high sulfate concentrations. In this study, flow mode bioelectrochemical sulfate reduction was investigated and achieved comparable removal efficiencies to batch experiments, with significantly increased sulfate removal rates and Coulombic efficiencies. The advantage of flow operation is likely due to higher biomass, stable pH, and a better ratio between sulfate-reducing prokaryotes and homoacetogens.

Summary: This study elucidates key parameters allowing the electrochemical valorization of cellobiose, by creating value-added products by both, anodic oxidation, and cathodic reduction. The first electrochemical reduction of cellobiose to cellobitol was achieved in a divided cell using Pb as cathode, with a conversion rate of up to 49% but with long reaction times (over 26 h) and low coulombic efficiency (4%). The successful synthesis of cellobionic acid was demonstrated by mediated oxidation in an undivided electrochemical cell, with cellobiose oxidation highly selective, achieving up to 92% conversion at 48% coulombic efficiency when using a charge of 2 FE.

Summary: We demonstrate a method for synthesizing adipic acid (AA), a key component of polyamides like Nylon-6,6, from lignin-derived feedstock using a combination of electrochemical hydrogenation and biotransformation. The electrochemical hydrogenation process achieves a 68% yield of cyclohexanol from phenol at a 69% coulombic efficiency, and the electrochemical hydrogenation of an aromatic mixture obtained from lignin depolymerization yields up to 83%. By further biotransformation with recombinant Pseudomonas taiwanensis VLB120, AA is produced at a rate of 0.02 g L-1 h(-1) with a yield of up to 61% in 5 hours.

Summary: Microbial electrosynthesis (MES) has great potential for recycling carbon dioxide into organic compounds, but the lack of process control and understanding of microbial extracellular electron transfer (EET) hinders further development. This study found that cathodic hydrogen is the dominant electron source for C. ljungdahlii in electroautotrophic MES, leading to superior growth and biosynthesis compared to previous studies. It was also discovered that MES using C. ljungdahlii can produce other products besides acetate, such as glycine and ethanolamine. Understanding the electrophysiology of C. ljungdahlii is key to improving bioprocess strategies in MES research.

Summary: The composition and functions of an anodic microbiome are crucial for both wastewater treatment and current production. The type of substrate and cultivation mode can affect the microorganisms' contribution to these functions. In a laminar flow bioelectrochemical system, the complexity of carbon sources influences the distribution of biomass and the efficiency of current production and carbon removal. Reactors fed with undefined wastewater showed similarities with those fed with acetate, while reactors fed with defined wastewater showed significant differences. The division of labor between current production and substrate degradation is independent of the provided substrates, but the efficiency and types of subcommunities involved depend on the substrates.

Summary: Microbial electrochemical technologies (MET) show promise for groundwater remediation of petroleum hydrocarbons (PH). However, the degradation mechanisms are not well understood. This study analyzed the degradation of toluene, a model PH, in a bioelectrochemical reactor. The results revealed a syntrophic pathway involving different microbial populations for the degradation of toluene. Hydrocarbon degraders converted toluene into metabolic intermediates, which were further converted by fermentative bacteria into volatile fatty acids (VFA) and possibly H2. These compounds were then used as substrates by electroactive microorganisms forming the anodic biofilm. The increase in intermediate concentration did not result in a current increase as toluene degradation was faster.

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.
