Summary: Oil-produced wastewater treatment plants, particularly those using biological processes, host a diverse range of microbes originating from oil and marine environments. Upstream treatments resulted in lower microbial diversity, while organic pollutants were mainly digested through fermentation and sulfur compounds respiration in the anaerobic baffled reactor (ABR). Characteristics of different microbial groups in aerobic parallel reactors (APRs) were important for functions like hydrocarbon degradation, acidogenesis, photosynthetic assimilation, and nitrogen removal in these plants.

Summary: This study identified four novel aquatic plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) strains, named MRB1-4, from Lythrum anceps, which exhibited beneficial growth effects on duckweed Lemna minor. These strains produced indole-3-acetic acid and possessed similar plant growth-promoting traits as terrestrial PGPB. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that MRB-1, -3, and -4 were affiliated with known proteobacterial genera, while MRB2 was a potentially novel strain at the genus level. Furthermore, MRB3, a Pelomonas strain, was found to be epiphytic and adhered to the roots and fronds of duckweed.

Summary: Constructed wetland systems with added Lantana weed biochar showed high efficiency in removing nutrients from wastewater. The amount of biochar directly affected the removal mechanism, with a significant reduction in COD observed. The system with a 15% biochar dose showed the highest removal rates for PO4-3, NH4+-N, SO4-2, and NO3-N. The study proposed mechanisms of physical removal, microbial facilitation, and chemical kinetics improvements for better nutrient removal in constructed wetland systems.

Summary: This review focuses on the co-transmission of plant pathogens by insects, highlighting key findings and challenges in studying this phenomenon. The review examines the competition between similar pathogens during co-transmission, the impact of changes in pathogen titer on transmission, and the different approaches used to study co-transmission. Despite recent advancements in techniques, there are still gaps in understanding pathogen transmission. Further laboratory and field studies using different pathosystems are needed to elucidate the role of co-infection and co-transmission in infectious disease ecology and evolution.

Summary: Constructed wetlands, specifically floating treatment wetlands, have the potential to efficiently remove excessive nutrients from surface waters. However, the presence of antibiotics, such as enrofloxacin, threatens the performance of these wetlands. This study revealed that enrofloxacin exposure enhanced plant growth and nutrient uptake, while slightly inhibiting nitrogen removal. The wetland showed resilience and adapted to enrofloxacin within a month, with no significant differences in nutrient removal and microbial communities compared to the control.

Summary: Water scarcity is a major global challenge impacting food safety, food security, and human health. This study explored the potential of using vertical flow constructed wetlands (VF-CWs) with different indigenous wetland plants to treat chromium (Cr)-contaminated water. The results showed that VF-CWs vegetated with certain wetland plants can effectively remove Cr from water, with removal rates ranging from 47% to 92%. The wetland plants also accumulated Cr, with higher concentrations found in the roots. This research provides evidence supporting the use of VF-CWs with indigenous wetland plants as a sustainable technology for treating Cr-contaminated water.

Summary: The performance of different macrophytes in floating treatment wetlands (FTWs) for the remediation of ciprofloxacin (CIP) contaminated water is investigated in this study. The FTWs have the potential to remove 30-43.58 mg L-1 CIP from water in 28 days, and also reduce the chemical oxygen demand and biochemical oxygen demand of water. Among the macrophytes, Canna indica is the most effective in removing CIP, while Typha domingensis is the least effective. This study contributes to the sustainable bioremediation of water contaminated with antibiotics.

Summary: This study investigated the distribution, speciation, hydrogeochemical behavior and environmental risks of chromium in tannery wastewater in Kasur district, Punjab, Pakistan. The concentration of chromium was higher in winter compared to summer, and exceeded the national environmental quality standard. The presence of chromium was mainly in the form of hexavalent and trivalent chromium, controlled by iron and magnesium minerals. Environmental risk assessment categorized the tannery wastewater as 'worst quality' and unsuitable for crop irrigation without treatment.
