Coupling Nitrogenous Organic Wastewater Treatment and Biorefinery via N‐Cycling Bacterium
The vast reservoir of nitrogenous organic pollutants in industrial wastewaters can serve as untapped carbon‐nitrogen resources. This study employs the newly discovered Paracoccus sp. ZQW‐1 as a versatile chassis to simultaneously achieve N‐methylpyrrolidone (NMP) wastewater depuration and polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) synthesis.

COVID‐19 and Farm Management in India: Evidence From the Rural–Urban Interface of Bangalore
ABSTRACT We examine farm management decisions of smallholder farmers during the first wave of COVID‐19 infections in India between June 2020 and March 2021. We use panel data from 256 farm households in the rural–urban interface of Bangalore from a pre‐COVID‐19 face‐to‐face survey and a phone survey at the end of the first COVID‐19 wave.
