Algal-bacterial granular sludge process for sustainable wastewater treatment: Technological advances and challenges.

Water research
The algal-bacterial granular sludge (ABGS) process is a promising solution for sustainable wastewater treatment, owing to its synergistic contaminant removal, carbon sequestration potential, and reduced energy demand. This review critically synthesiz...

Depth-dependent heterogeneity in topsoil stockpiles influences plant-microbe interactions and revegetation success in arid mine reclamation.

The Science of the total environment
Covering mine tailings with uncontaminated soil is a common strategy to mitigate environmental impacts and promote ecosystem recovery during post-mining land reclamation. Topsoil is often stockpiled for future use as a capping layer, but prolonged st...

Integrating artificial intelligence with microbial biotechnology for sustainable environmental remediation.

Environmental monitoring and assessment
This narrative review examines the significant advances of artificial intelligence (AI) in enhancing the identification and microbial degradation of environmentally persistent compounds, addressing major issues in pollution monitoring and management....

Assessing biodegradability potential of organic chemicals in aquatic and soil environment through classification-based machine learning models developed in accordance with OECD standards.

The Science of the total environment
Information on the biodegradation potential of organic chemicals in the ecosystem helps us analyze their persistence, bioaccumulation, and toxicity (PBT) behaviour. The environment is exposed to many chemicals from various sources, both intentionally...

Phosphorus removal and recovery in wastewater biological treatment from the perspective of phosphine: Current status, action mechanisms and future potential.

The Science of the total environment
This work presents a comprehensive review of phosphorus removal and resource recovery driven by phosphine (PH) in biological wastewater treatment processes, with a particular focus on PH generation. Through a bibliometric analysis using VOSviewer and...

Emerging technologies for assessing the occurrence, fate, effects, and remediation of plastics in the environment.

Environmental monitoring and assessment
Plastic pollution and contamination originates from raw material handling, polymerization, compounding, and fabrication, contributing to environmental accumulation. Advanced analytical techniques such as Fourier transform infrared, Raman spectroscopy...

Keystone microbial taxa identified by deep learning reveal mechanisms of phosphorus stoichiometric homeostasis in submerged macrophytes under different hydrodynamic states.

Water research
Phosphorus (P) pollution in aquatic ecosystems triggers eutrophication, disrupting ecological processes. Although phytoremediation using submerged macrophytes is promising, its efficacy depends on plant-microbe interactions and stoichiometric homeost...

Deep learning-enhanced hyperspectral imaging for rapid screening of Co-metabolic microplastic-degrading bacteria in environmental samples.

Journal of hazardous materials
Microbial biodegradation of microplastic (MP) emerges as an environmentally benign and highly promising strategy for alleviating MP pollution in the ecosystem. Conventional approaches for screening MP-degrading bacteria use pollutants as the sole car...

Disturbance and stability dynamics in microbial communities for environmental biotechnology applications.

Current opinion in biotechnology
Microbial communities are corner stones of environmental biotechnology, driving essential processes such as waste degradation, pollutant removal, and nutrient cycling, all fundamental to industrial bioprocesses and sustainability. The structure and f...

Predicting the environmental fate of biodegradable mulch films: A machine learning approach for sustainable agriculture.

Journal of hazardous materials
Biodegradable plastic mulch films (BDM) have been proposed as one of the dominant strategies for plastic pollution prevention in agriculture. As the BDM degradation is a complex process affected by multiple factors, the degradation cycle of BDM has s...
