Response of Activated Sludge to Long-Term Nanosilver Input and Changes in Extracellular Polymeric Substances (EPS)

, 2020
This study investigates the response of activated sludge to continuous nanosilver (AgNPs) input in a large concentration range. In addition to substrate removal, changes taking place in the different fractions of Extracellular Polymeric Substances (EPS),

Critical mineral removal from mining‐impacted waters using microalgal biomass

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract Rising demand for critical minerals has led to increased mining and mineral processing activities, resulting in the release of metal‐contaminated waters requiring treatment. Conventional treatment methods, such as lime neutralization, effectively precipitate metals; however, they are less effective at low metal concentrations and produce large

Contribution of Extracellular Polymeric Substances (EPS) to the Sludge Aggregation

, 2016
The contribution of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS), including loosely bound EPS (LB-EPS) and tightly bound EPS (TB-EPS), to the aggregation of both aerobic and anaerobic sludge is explored using the extended DLVO theory. It is observed that the

Putting System Co‐Design at the Center of Chemo‐Biohybrid CO2 Valorization From Lab to Industrial Scale

EcoEnergy, EarlyView.
Chemo‐biohybrid systems promise much, but single‐discipline research still limits progress. This perspective draws on thermocatalytic, electrocatalytic, and photocatalytic hybrid systems to highlight the need for system‐level co‐design and outline future directions.

Harnessing Natural Wood Architecture: A Self‐Supporting, Hierarchically Porous NiFe@Carbon Capacitive Anode Enhances Electricity Generation and Storage in Microbial Fuel Cells

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
This study reports a mild “Zn(NO3)2 interlayer‐expansion” strategy combined with electrodeposition to produce a self‐supporting capacitive anode (NiFe@PC) that preserves the wood's native low‐tortuosity channels. The retained native architecture expands niches for microbial colonization.

Impairment of the bacterial biofilm stability by triclosan [PDF]

, 2012
The accumulation of the widely-used antibacterial and antifungal compound triclosan (TCS) in freshwaters raises concerns about the impact of this harmful chemical on the biofilms that are the dominant life style of microorganisms in aquatic systems ...

Plant‐Derived Extracts Disrupt Biofilm Formation and Quorum Sensing in Yersinia enterocolitica: Insights From GC‐MS and Molecular Docking

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
The graphical abstract represents how natural plant products that preferentially target the specific receptors of quorum sensing could be developed to combat biofilms linked to Yersinia enterocolitica using the potent abilities of protein–ligand complexes with high docking scores.

Sourdough fermentation as a modulator of nutritional quality in cereal‐based baked products

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Sourdough fermentation, an ancient food bioprocessing technology, has attracted renewed attention for its positive impact on the nutritional profile and sensory attributes of leavened baked products. This process relies on the symbiotic activity between lactic acid bacteria and yeasts, which leads to acidification, proteolysis, enzyme ...

High extracellular polymeric substance production and biofilm-forming capacity of Ralstonia pickettii isolates from ISS potable water

Microbiology Spectrum
The potable water dispenser (PWD) system plays a critical role as a source of drinking water for astronauts on the International Space Station (ISS). In this study, we examined the bioburden in the potable water produced by the PWD.
