Abstract Antibiotic resistance is a severe global threat for public health, causing around 700,000 deaths per year. Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) one of the most significant pathways to disseminate antibiotic resistance. It commonly acknowledged that sub-minimum inhibition concentrations antibiotics are major contributors in promoting through HGT. Pharmaceuticals occurring our environments at increased levels, yet little known whether non-antibiotic pharmaceuticals cause or accelerate...
Antibiotic resistance poses an increasing threat to public health. Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) promoted by antibiotics is recognized as a significant pathway disseminate antibiotic genes (ARGs). However, it unclear whether non-antibiotic, anti-microbial (NAAM) chemicals can directly promote HGT of ARGs in the environment.We aimed investigate triclosan (TCS), widely-used NAAM chemical personal care products, able stimulate conjugative multi-resistance carried plasmid within and across...
Antibiotic resistance is a global threat to public health. The use of antibiotics at sub-inhibitory concentrations has been recognized as an important factor in disseminating antibiotic via horizontal gene transfer. Although non-antibiotic, human-targeted pharmaceuticals are widely used by society (95% the market), potential contribution spread not clear. Here, we report that commonly consumed, non-antibiotic pharmaceuticals, including nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories (ibuprofen, naproxen,...
The recent discovery of comammox (complete ammonia oxidation) Nitrospira has upended the long-held nitrification paradigm. Although have been identified in wastewater treatment systems, conditions for their dominance over canonical oxidizers remain unclear. Here, we report a moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR) fed with synthetic mainstream wastewater. Integrated 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing, fluorescence situ hybridization (FISH), and metagenomic sequencing methods demonstrated selective...
The microbial guild coupling anammox and nitrite/nitrate-dependent anaerobic methane oxidation (n-DAMO) is an innovative process to achieve energy-efficient nitrogen removal with the beneficial use of in biogas or anaerobically treated wastewater. Here, metagenomics metatranscriptomics were used reveal ecology two biofilm systems, which incorporate n-DAMO for high-level low-strength domestic sewage high-strength sidestream wastewater, respectively. We find that different loadings (i.e., 0.1...
Abstract The short-chain gaseous alkanes (ethane, propane, and butane; SCGAs) are important components of natural gas, yet their fate in environmental systems is poorly understood. Microbially mediated anaerobic oxidation SCGAs coupled to nitrate reduction has been demonstrated for but be shown ethane or butane—despite being energetically feasible. Here we report two independent bacterial enrichments performing butane oxidation, respectively, dinitrogen gas ammonium. Isotopic 13C-...
Nanocapsules of organophosphorous hydrolase with enhanced enzyme activity and stability are prepared via in situ polymerization, providing a novel class nanoparticles for the decontamination detoxification organophosphates such as chemical warfare agents pesticides. Using nanocapsules building blocks, bioactive nanocomposites also fabricated, enabling their use organophosphate protection. As service to our authors readers, this journal provides supporting information supplied by authors....
Anaerobic technologies have been proposed as a promising solution to enhance bioenergy recovery and transform wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) from an energy consumer exporter. However, 20-60% of the methane produced remains dissolved in anaerobically treated effluent, which is potent greenhouse gas easily stripped out aeration tank. This study aims develop using support denitrification, thus simultaneously enhancing nitrogen removal achieving beneficial use methane. By coupling anaerobic...
The discovery of complete ammonia-oxidizing (comammox) Nitrospira has added an important new process to the microbial nitrogen cycle. While comammox have been detected in various ecosystems, only few studies achieved their enrichment over other canonical nitrifiers. Here, we obtained a selective urine-fed membrane bioreactor less than 200 days. By using 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing and quantitative PCR functional marker amoA, observed dominance (up 30% relative abundance) bacteria...
Abstract Anaerobic microorganisms are thought to play a critical role in regulating the flux of short-chain gaseous alkanes (SCGAs; including ethane, propane and butane) from terrestrial aquatic ecosystems atmosphere. Sulfate has been confirmed act as electron acceptor supporting microbial anaerobic oxidation SCGAs, yet several other energetically more favourable acceptors co-exist with these gases environments. Here, we show that bioreactor seeded biomass wastewater treatment facility can...
Granule-based partial nitritation and anammox (PN/A) represents one of the most energy-efficient biotechniques for ammonium removal from wastewater. The PN/A granules appear in a continuum sizes, yet little is known about extent to which microbial communities metabolisms are partitioned between size-fractionated granules. Here, we divided harvested pilot-scale reactor into five discrete size fractions (<0.2, 0.2–0.5, 0.5–0.8, 0.8–1.0, >1.0 mm). composition functional attribute pools were...
Background Due to the critical condition and poor immunity of patients, intensive care unit (ICU) has always been main hospital source multidrug-resistant bacteria. In recent years, with large-scale use antibiotics, detection rate mortality carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) have gradually increased. This study explores molecular characteristics prevalence CRKP isolated from ICU ward a tertiary in China. Methods A total 51 non-duplicated samples were collected July 2018–July...
A high-purine diet can cause hyperuricemia and destroy the microbial composition of gut microbiota. Both folic acid zinc significantly reduce uric levels alleviate hyperuricemia. However, whether underlying mechanisms are associated with regulation microbiota remain unknown. To explore alterations related to treatment in rats our study. hyperuricemic rat model was established a diet. The effects on were evaluated. Alterations treatments evaluated by sequencing using Illumina MiSeq system....
Water pollution caused by heavy metals (HMs) poses a serious risk to human health and the environment can increase of diabetes, cancer, hypertension in particular. In this study, two full-scale wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) industrial zones southern China were selected analyze microbial community structure, diversity, similarity, differentiation anoxic/oxic (AO) membrane bioreactor (AO-MBR) units under stress HMs. High-throughput sequencing showed that diversity abundance higher AO...
