Article Abstract
In this study, biocathode system coupled with different co-metabolism conditions (NaAc, glucose and NaHCO) were developed to degrade quinolones enrofloxacin (ENR) due to its poorly metabolization, easily accumulation and potential toxicity. Simultaneously, ENR reduction kinetic rate constant in NaAc-fed, glucose-fed and NaHCO-fed biocathodes, and sole biocathode were increased by 343.62%, 320.46%, 189.19% and 130.88% when compared with that of abiotic cathode when the operational time and ENR concentration were set to 48 h and 25 mg/L. In addition, transformation pathways of ENR revealed pathway II were dominantly occurred in NaAc- and glucose-fed biocathode while pathway IV acting as key metabolic process were shown in NaHCO-fed biocathode. Moreover, 16S rRNA high-throughput sequencing analysis indicated that biocathodic communities were sensitive to switch-over of carbon source, namely Delftia and Bosea as organohalide-respiring bacteria (OHRB) were abundant in NaAc- and glucose-fed biocathodes while Mesotoga and Syntrophorhabdus that responsible for benzoyl-CoA metabolic process were enriched in NaHCO-fed biocathode. Overall, this study could unravel the underlying relationship between biocathode degradation pattern of ENR and different co-metabolism conditions, and further offer valuable scientific information on treating refractory quinolones antibiotics via green bioelectrochemical method.

Trimethylamine (TMA) is a common malodorous pollutant known for its detrimental effects on both the natural environment and human health. In this study, strain PM-1 was successfully isolated from activated sludge in a sewage treatment plant and identified as the first capable of degrading TMA. Strain PM-1 is characterized as a mesophilic and mild halotolerant bacterium, thriving within a temperature range of 20-40 °C and a salinity range of 10-80 g/L NaCl.

Despite chemical exchange often serving as the first step in plant-microbe interactions, the specialized chemical metabolites produced by grass- endophyte symbiosis as mediators of host growth, nutrient acquisition, and modulators of the rhizosphere community under low-nitrogen conditions are areas lacking in knowledge. In this study, we investigated the plant growth-promoting effects of the endophyte strain and identified the growth of the strain under different types of nitrogen source treatments. In addition to the in vitro test, we evaluated growth performance for endophyte-infected plants (E+) and endophyte-free plants (E-) in a pot trial under 0.

This research addresses the significant reliance on carbon sources and high energy consumption in traditional biological nitrogen removal methods. It introduces sponge iron (SI) as a source of iron to drive the coupled nitrate-dependent Fe(II) oxidation (NDFO) and Fe(III)-mediated ammonium oxidation (Feammox) processes using activated sludge and anaerobic ammonium oxidation (Anammox) sludges. The findings indicate that supplementing with SI significantly enhances the nitrogen removal capacity of the system.

The host-microbe co-metabolism system, generating diverse exogenous and endogenous bioactive molecules that influence the host's immune and metabolic functions, plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. Recent studies have elucidated the interaction between natural medicines and this co-metabolism system. Upon oral administration, natural medicine ingredients can undergo transformation by gut microbiota, potentially enhancing their bioavailability or anti-atherogenic efficacy.

The removal of micropollutants, particularly pharmaceuticals, from wastewater remains a significant challenge due to their persistence and complex degradation mechanisms. Biofilm-based systems offer a promising solution due to their high microbial diversity and metabolic versatility. However, interactions between the microbiota and pharmaceuticals in these reactors remain inadequately explored.
