Summary: Heavy metal pollution is a global concern, and phytoremediation using plants and associated microorganisms has been effective in removing heavy metals from contaminated sites. The Typha genus is particularly suitable for phytoremediation because of its rapid growth, high biomass production, and ability to accumulate heavy metals. Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria have also been studied for their ability to improve plant growth and tolerance to heavy metals. This review discusses the phytoremediation process, the application of Typha species, and the bacterial communities associated with their roots in both contaminated and non-contaminated environments, highlighting the importance of Proteobacteria in these communities.

Summary: This study reviewed the research on enhanced constructed wetlands (CWs) for the removal of heavy metals and metalloids (HMMs) from polluted water. A bibliometric analysis was performed to evaluate research trends, critical literature, and keyword evolution. The study found that research on CW technology for the remediation of HMM-polluted water is receiving increased attention, with no apparent trends in topics. Suggestions for optimizing the design and operation of efficient CWs for HMM-polluted water treatment are proposed based on the established literature.

Summary: The effectiveness of constructed floating wetlands (CFWs) for wastewater treatment in cold climates is largely unknown. A pilot-scale CFW system was implemented in a municipal waste stabilization pond in Alberta, Canada. The study found that increasing the CFW area and adding underneath aeration promoted plant uptake of elements, leading to significant reduction of pollutants in the water. The results suggest that CFWs are a viable ecotechnology for municipal wastewater treatment, but larger and aerated systems are recommended for maximum remediation.

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: Constructed floating wetlands are widely used globally for water treatment and quality improvement. This study found that Typha domingensis showed superior root growth compared to Schoenoplectus californicus in a floating structure without growth substrates. Additionally, the adaptation of both species to the floating structure was successful, with Typha domingensis demonstrating higher nutrient removal efficiency in the final synthetic effluent solution. The establishment period of the macrophytes varied between species and played a significant role in increasing nutrient removal rates and root growth.

Summary: This study systematically investigates the pre-aggregation behavior of asphaltene in the absence and presence of ionic liquids (ILs) using molecular dynamics simulations. The effects of cation chain length and anion dimension on asphaltene aggregation are studied. The results show that ILs have a dispersing effect on asphaltene, and this effect is influenced by the alkyl side chain length of the cation and the radius of the anion. The findings are supported by DFT calculations. The study also demonstrates that CO2 acts as a precipitating agent, but does not affect the relative performance of the ILs.

Summary: This study aims to explore the burden of Cytomegalovirus (CMV) on the long-term post-transplant course in kidney-transplanted patients (KTs) with extensive adoption of expanded-criteria donors (ECDs). A retrospective evaluation of 929 consecutive first KTs was performed, and CMV incidence was found to be 19.5%. Donor and recipient age, recipient pre-transplant hypertension, DR antigen compatibility, cold ischemia time, and post-transplant early complications were associated with CMV. The findings of this study have important implications for the long-term post-transplant outcomes and prognosis of kidney transplant recipients.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic posed challenges to health-care systems, with a lack of available extraction reagents being a major obstacle in SARS-CoV-2 diagnosis. To address this limitation, a comparative analysis was performed to evaluate the performance of an alternative extraction protocol adapted from veterinary use for an open robotic platform (Testing method). The Testing method showed excellent performance in RNA extraction, with a high level of agreement with the laboratory Standard of Care. This method offers advantages such as lower sample input volume, adaptability to robotic liquid handlers, and the ability to overcome the shortage of deep-well plates.

Summary: According to reports from UNEP and FAO, abandoned fishing nets in the oceans account for about 10% of the total plastic waste. These ghost nets can degrade over time and release microplastics, leading to environmental contamination. A study conducted in the Gulf of Cefalu, northern coast of Sicily, Italy, aims to understand the contamination level in the area by analyzing microplastics in sediment and rock substrate samples collected through scuba diving. The study identified the presence of polyamide, nylon, or polyethylene, possibly derived from the degradation of fishing nets, in the impacted areas.

Summary: Wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) approach is used to monitor the consumption of illicit drugs by analyzing the concentration of these drugs in municipal sewage. A study conducted in Valencia, Spain monitored the consumption of 16 drugs of abuse and metabolites over a period of one to two weeks between 2011 and 2020. The results showed that cannabis, tobacco, and cocaine were the most consumed drugs, with an increasing trend in cannabis and cocaine use since 2018. Furthermore, higher consumption of certain drugs was observed during weekends and local festivities. WBE proved to be an objective and useful methodology to study temporal drug consumption patterns.

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.
