Denitrifying phosphorus removal using nitrite as an electron acceptor is an innovative, resource-efficient approach for nitrogen and phosphorus removal. However, the inhibitory effects of nitrite on anoxic phosphorus uptake and process stability are unclear. This study investigated the total phosphorus removal performance under nitrite stress and analyzed microbiome responses in 186 sludge samples. The results indicated that the total phosphorus removal rates and dominant taxon abundance were highly similar under nitrite stress. High nitrite stress induced a community-state shift, leading to unstable dynamics and decreased total phosphorus removal. This shift resulted from increased species cooperation. Notably, the shared genera OLB8 and Zoogloea under non-inhibitory nitrite stress, suggesting their vital roles in mitigating nitrite stress by enhancing carbon and energy metabolism. The response patterns of these bacterial communities to high nitrite stress can guide the design and optimization of high-nitrogen wastewater reactors.

Soil serves as the habitat for numerous organisms and is increasingly threatened from co-pollution of novel brominated flame retardant (NBFRs) and heavy metals (HMs). Focusing on Deca-bromodiphenyl ethane (DBDPE) and cadmium (Cd) as the targets, we constructed a soil-lettuce-earthworm microcosm to explore co-pollution effects in rhizosphere soils. Results showed that DBDPE increased bioavailable Cd fraction to amplified its ecological risks.

Fine particulate matter (PM) exposure increases the cardiometabolic disease risk. While there is extensive research on how PM impairs cardiometabolic health in male mice, its health impact is largely unexplored in females. To examine PM-induced cardiometabolic effects in females, female and male mice (n = 10/group) on a regular (12 h:12 h, RLC) or disturbed (18 h:6 h, DLC) light-dark cycle were exposed to concentrated ambient PM (CAP) for 30 days.

Reductive stress (RS) results from the overactivity of the enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidant systems and from excess antioxidant agents that neutralize reactive oxygen species. (HSL) is a natural source of antioxidant molecules that can overload the antioxidant system. Twenty-one Wistar rats were divided into three groups: group 1 (G) G1: rats that consumed a 6% HSL infusion for one month (HSL + 6%), G2: rats that consumed a 6% HSL infusion for one month and were then given natural water for another month (HSL ± 6%), and G3: rats with natural drinking water.

Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) represents a major clinical challenge, often limiting the therapeutic use of agents such as acitretin, a second-generation retinoid prescribed for psoriasis. This study established and characterized a rat model of acitretin-induced hepatotoxicity, aiming to explore potential biomarkers and mechanisms of protection. Fifty male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into five groups: control, acitretin, melatonin + acitretin, naringenin + acitretin, and combination treatment.

Utilizing paste feed within a recirculating aquaculture system for eel cultivation may lead to various challenges, such as water quality degradation and, hence, transitioning to floating pellet type feed becomes essential. In this study, we aimed to investigate the impact of different feed types (paste and floating extruded pellet) and rearing systems (recirculating aquaculture and flow through system) on water quality, growth, blood chemistry, body composition, and expression levels of digestive enzymes in Japanese eels (). Throughout the experiment, notable variations were observed in total ammonia nitrogen and nitrite nitrogen levels, with higher concentrations in the recirculating aquaculture system (1.
