An Fe−Ce bimetal adsorbent was investigated with X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), transmission electron micrograph (TEM), Fourier transform infrared spectra (FTIR), and photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) methods for a better understanding of the effect surface properties on arsenate (As(V)) adsorption. In adsorption test, oxide showed significantly higher As(V) capacity than referenced Ce Fe oxides (CeO2 Fe3O4) prepared by same procedure some other adsorbents reported recently. XRD measurement...

We investigated the abundance and distribution of tetracycline resistance genes (tet genes) in an oxytetracycline (OTC) antibiotic production wastewater (APW) treatment system. Of sixteen tet five mobile elements, nine (tet(A), tet(C), tet(G), tet(L), tet(M), tet(O), tet(Q), tet(W), tet(X)) two elements (class 1 integron (intI1) transposon Tn916/1545) were successfully quantified by real-time PCR. The relative effluent activated sludge (1.2 × 10(-4) to 1.3 10(0)) APW system up 2 orders...

Surveillance of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) has been increasingly conducted in environmental sectors to complement the surveys human and animal under "One-Health" framework. However, there are substantial challenges comparing synthesizing results multiple studies that employ different test methods approaches bioinformatic analysis. In this article, we consider commonly used quantification units (ARG copy per cell, ARG genome, density, 16S rRNA gene, RPKM, coverage, PPM, etc.) for...

This study investigated the occurrence and fate of oxytetracycline (OTC) its related substances, 4-epi-oxytetracycline (EOTC), alpha-apo-oxytetracycline (alpha-apo-OTC), beta-apo-oxytetracycline (beta-apo-OTC), in a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) treating OTC production river receiving effluent from WWTP using liquid chromatography electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS). The percent removal was 38.0 +/- 10.5%, concentration still up to 19.5 2.9 mg/L treated outflow....

The antibiotic-resistance characteristics of bacterial strains in antibiotic production wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) that contain high concentrations antibiotics are unknown, as the environmental effects discharge from such facilities. In this study, 417 were individually isolated effluent a WWTP treated penicillin G wastewater, well downstream and upstream areas receiving river. minimum inhibition (MICs) 18 representing seven classes then determined for each these strains. Relatively...

In this study, 295 antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and mobile genetic elements (MGEs) from the influent, activated sludge (AS), membrane bioreactor (MBR) permeate were primarily examined in wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) biweekly over 13 months. The absolute concentrations of ARGs MGEs respectively ranged 1.27 × 1010 to 1.94 1011 8.00 109 1.24 copies/L which reduced by 2 3 orders magnitude permeate. No significant seasonal variation was found WWTP, except that abundance AS peaked...

Summary Environmental selection and dispersal limitation are two of the primary processes structuring biotic communities in ecosystems, but little is known about these shaping soil microbial during secondary forest succession. We examined ectomycorrhizal ( EM ) fungi young, intermediate old forests a C hinese subtropical ecosystem, using 454 pyrosequencing. The fungal community consisted 393 operational taxonomic units OTU s), belonging to 21 lineages, which three lineages 11 s showed...

A full-scale biosystem consisting of two anaerobic reactors (HA and BF1) four aerobic ones (BF2-BF4 OD) in succession receiving antibiotic-bearing (mainly streptomycin) wastewater was used for studying the impacts antibiotics on microbial community structures. Significant decreases streptomycin (from 3955 ± 1910 to 23.1 4.7 μg L(-1)) COD(Cr) were observed along treatment process. Cloning results show that dominated with Deltaproteobacteria (51%) mainly affiliated sulfate-reducing bacteria...
