Removing 17β-estradiol from drinking water in a biologically active carbon (BAC) reactor modified from a granular activated carbon (GAC) reactor

open access: yesWater Research, 2012
Estrogenic compounds in drinking water sources pose potential threats to human health. Treatment technologies are needed to effectively remove these compounds for the production of safe drinking water. In this study, GAC adsorption was first tested for its ability to remove a model estrogenic compound, 17β-estradiol (E2).

Cars2‐Mediated Cysteine Catabolism Drives Brown Fat Development and Thermogenesis Through Persulfidating EBF2

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
We demonstrate that Cars2, a cysteine catabolic enzyme in mouse iBAT, is critical for cold tolerance and brown adipocyte differentiation. Through its CPERS activity, Cars2 produces CysSSH/H2S to induce EBF2 persulfidation, promoting its interaction with PPARγ and BRG1 to enhance thermogenic gene expression.

Effect of sedimentation time on the granulometric composition of suspended solids in the backwash water from biological activated carbon filters

open access: yesE3S Web of Conferences, 2018
The paper presents the results of analyzes of the granulometric composition of suspended solids in backwash water from biological activated carbon (BAC) filters and its changes during sedimentation. Backwash water samples were taken during backwashing of

Removal of Xenobiotic Compounds from Wastewater for Environment Protection: Treatment Processes and Costs

open access: yesChemical Engineering Transactions, 2013
Although the technologies available today can produce high quality water even from wastewater, most wastewater treatment plants are not designed to remove emerging xenobiotic contaminants such as endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) and pharmaceutical ...

Characteristics of Bacterial Community for Biological Activated Carbon(BAC) by Culturable and Unculturable Methods.

open access: yesJournal of Life Science, 2007
The Biological Activated Carbon (BAC) process in the water treatments represents a kind of biofiltration process which capabilities of bacteria to remove organic matters are maximized. It enables to eliminate organic matters and effectively reduce microbial regrowth potentials. As attached bacteria employ natural organic matter as a substrate, they are

Microbial Communities Shaped by Treatment Processes in a Drinking Water Treatment Plant and Their Contribution and Threat to Drinking Water Safety

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2017
Bacteria play an important role in water purification in drinking water treatment systems. On one hand, bacteria present in the untreated water may help in its purification through biodegradation of the contaminants.

Community analysis and recovery of phenol-degrading bacteria from drinking water biofilters

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2016
Phenol is a ubiquitous organic contaminant in drinking water. Biodegradation plays an important role in the elimination of phenol pollution in the environment, but the information about phenol removal by drinking water biofilters is still lacking. Herein,

Genetic code expansion for chemosensing and chemical actuation of biological functions

open access: yesBulletin of the Korean Chemical Society, EarlyView.
Genetic code expansion (GCE) broadens the chemical repertoire for precise control of protein function in biological systems. This review highlights GCE‐based sensing and actuating systems that operate through selective interactions between noncanonical amino acids and chemical triggers.

Flow configuration shapes microbiome assembly and function in full-scale drinking water BAC filters

open access: yesWater Research X
To address the challenges of traditional down-flow biological activated carbon (BAC) filters, up-flow filters have been increasingly applied in drinking water treatment plants (DWTPs), yet their microbial characteristics and underlying assembly ...

Intermittent hypoxia increases lipid insulin resistance in healthy humans: A randomized crossover trial

open access: yesJournal of Sleep Research, Volume 34, Issue 2, April 2025.
This scheme illustrates the main results of the present study showing an increase in circulating free fatty acids (FFA) that are likely to be related to several mechanisms like decrease in FFA insulin sensitivity and increase in FFA production. Significant changes are labelled in white, and non‐significant or hypothesis are labelled in pale green ...
