Hexavalent chromium [Cr(VI)] is a priority heavy metal pollutant causing series of environmental issues, and bio-reduction Cr(VI) to trivalent can remarkably decrease the risk Cr(VI). The reduction resistance abilities microorganisms be dramatically improved by acclimatization. In present study, we collected Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 from 120-day acclimatization increasing concentration in culture media investigate its adaptation mechanisms under long-term stress at proteome level. Tandem...
Long-read sequencing holds great potential for characterizing complex microbial communities, yet taxonomic profiling tools designed specifically long reads remain lacking. We introduce Melon, a novel marker-based profiler that capitalizes on the unique attributes of reads. Melon employs two-stage classification scheme to reduce computational time and is equipped with an expectation-maximization-based post-correction module handle ambiguous achieves superior performance compared existing in...
Combined pollution of antibiotic and non-antibiotic pharmaceutical residues is ubiquitous in realistic polluted environments, which regarded as a complicated emerging pollution. Herein, high-throughput sequencing quantitative PCR were applied to profile the overall changes microbial communities resistance genes (ARGs) biofilms response combination naproxen sulfamethoxazole After continuous operation for 120 days, or/and efficiently removed, salinity 1.00% enhanced removal rate...
A combined enrichment experiment and genome-centric meta-omics analysis demonstrated that metabolic specificity, rather than flexibility, governs the anaerobic digestion (AD) ecosystem. This study provides new insights into interspecies electron transfer in AD process, highlighting a segregation metabolism of H2 formate. Our findings show acts as primary sink for recycling redox cofactors, including NAD+ oxidised ferredoxin (Fdox), during fermentation, while formate is dominant carrier...
Abstract Electron shuttles are pivotal in enhancing the conversion efficiency at biotic‐abiotic interface within microbial photoelectrochemical systems. Nevertheless, potentially toxic effects of electron on cells and their instability when exposed to light often overlooked. This concept highlights attention paid systems, such as cytotoxicity, photoexcited state, photostability. Furthermore, it offers theoretical guidance for selecting optimize sustainable energy production environmental remediation.
Abstract Background Despite rapid advances in genomic-resolved metagenomics and remarkable explosion of metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs), the function uncultivated anaerobic lineages their interactions carbon mineralization remain largely uncertain, which has profound implications biotechnology biogeochemistry. Results In this study, we combined long-read sequencing metatranscriptomics-guided metabolic reconstruction to provide a genome-wide perspective flow from polymers methane an...
Microplastics (MPs) are of increasing concern due to their role as reservoirs for antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and pathogens. To date, few studies have explored the influence anthropogenic activities on ARGs mobile genetic elements (MGEs) within various riverine MPs, in comparison natural counterparts. Here an in-situ incubation was conducted along heavily anthropogenically-impacted Houxi River characterize geographical pattern resistome, mobilome pathogens inhabiting MPs-...
Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) represent one of biotechnology's largest and most critical applications, playing a pivotal role in environmental protection public health. In WWTPs, activated sludge (AS) plays major removing contaminants pathogens from wastewater. While metagenomics has advanced our understanding microbial communities, it still faces challenges revealing the genomic heterogeneity cells, uncovering dark matter, establishing precise links between genetic elements their host...
This study proposed fresh leachate treatment with AnMBR based on the on-site investigation of characteristics leachate. Temperature-related profiles properties and a high ratio BOD5/COD (0.462 ~ 0.719) were observed. In addition, achieved COD removal 98.6% maximum organic loading rate (OLR) 19.27 kg-COD/m3/d at shortest HRT 1.5 d, significantly higher than those by other anaerobic processes for treatment, such as UASB EGSB. The microbial analysis implied that abundant protein carbohydrate...
Enrichment experiment integrated with genome-centric meta-omics analysis revealed that metabolic specificity, rather than flexibility, governs the anaerobic digestion (AD) ecosystem. This study provides new insights into interspecies electron transfer in AD process, highlighting a segregation metabolism of H₂ and formate. Our findings indicate serves as primary sink for recycling redox cofactors, NAD⁺ oxidized ferredoxin (Fdox), during fermentation. In contrast, formate predominates...
