Article Abstract
Background: , a unicellular flagellated microalga, is regarded as one of the most promising species as microalgal feedstock for biofuels. Its lipids (mainly wax esters) are suitable for biodiesel and jet fuel. Culture of using wastewater effluent will improve the economics of biofuel production. Enhancement of the productivity of biomass is critical to creating a highly efficient biofuels production system. Certain bacteria have been found to promote microalgal growth by creating a favorable microenvironment. These bacteria have been characterized as microalgae growth-promoting bacteria (MGPB). Co-culture of microalgae with MGPB might offer an effective strategy to enhance microalgal biomass production in wastewater effluent culture systems. However, no MGPB has been identified to enhance the growth of . The objectives of this study were, therefore, to isolate and characterize the MGPB effective for and to demonstrate that the isolated MGPB indeed enhances the production of biomass and lipids by in wastewater effluent culture system.
Results: A bacterium, sp. EG3, which is capable of promoting the growth of microalga , was isolated from an -municipal wastewater effluent culture. Biomass production rate of was enhanced 3.5-fold and 3.1-fold by EG3 in the co-culture system using a medium of heat-sterilized and non-sterilized wastewater effluent, respectively, compared to growth in the same effluent culture but without EG3. Two-step culture system was examined as follows: was cultured with or without EG3 in wastewater effluent in the first step and was further grown in wastewater effluent in the second step. Production yields of biomass and lipids by were enhanced 3.2-fold and 2.9-fold, respectively, in the second step of the system in which was co-cultured with EG3 in the first step.
Conclusion: sp. EG3 is the first MGPB for . Growth-promoting bacteria such as EG3 will be promising agents for enhancing biomass/biofuel productivities.

Unlabelled: Although wastewater treatment plants harbor many pathogens, traditional methods that monitor the microbial quality of surface water and wastewater have not changed since the early 1900s and often disregard the presence of other types of significant waterborne pathogens such as viruses. We used metagenomics and quantitative PCR to assess the taxonomy, functional profiling, and seasonal patterns of DNA and RNA viruses, including the virome distribution in aquatic environments receiving wastewater discharges. Environmental water samples were collected at 11 locations in Winnipeg, Manitoba, along the Red and Assiniboine rivers during the Spring, Summer, and Fall 2021.

The increasing pollution of water bodies from various industrial wastewater discharges has raised significant environmental concerns because these effluents contain toxic, nonbiodegradable compounds that pose serious risks to living organisms. In particular, the textile and pharmaceutical industries routinely use dyes that severely degrade water quality and lead to significant environmental issues. Therefore, effective removal of these dyes from industrial wastewater is crucial for mitigating pollution.

A polydopamine-glued g-CN/CoFeWO membrane, prepared one-pot synthesis, achieves complete sulfamethoxazole degradation through synergistic photocatalysis and PMS activation. It exhibits robust stability over 10 hours of continuous operation, maintaining high efficiency (97%) even in real municipal wastewater effluent, offering a novel and promising water purification strategy.

Odor problems in treated municipal wastewater are a concern, yet the sources and formation dynamics of these compounds within sewerage systems remain unclear. 2,4,6-trichloroanisole (2,4,6-TCA) is a key odorant in the effluents of municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). This study investigates the formation of 2,4,6-TCA through the conversion of its precursor, 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (2,4,6-TCP).

Nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds (NHCs), widely present in industrial wastewater, pose significant environmental and health risks, yet their identification and characterization remain poorly understood. Herein, we developed a diagnostic fragment list comprising 20 nitrogen-containing fragments for NHCs, by integrating chemical information from Pubchem with the NIST mass spectral library. Leveraging this list, we employed a diagnostic fragment-assisted nontarget screening approach and identified 151 NHCs in iron and steel industry wastewater.
