TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors proposed a modified water quality index (WQImin) based on principal component analysis (PCA) and correlations analyses of the water parameters detected in dry and wet seasons during 2011-2012.

TL;DR: New insights are provided into the understanding of sediment microbial community responses to nitrate addition, suggesting that indigenous microorganisms could be successfully stimulated for in situ bioremediation of POPs in contaminated sediments with nitrate added.

TL;DR: The results indicated that the SMFC-PMS system could be applied as a long-term and effective tool to simultaneously stimulate the bioremediation of the contaminated sediments and supply power for commercial devices.

TL;DR: Alternative electron acceptors were added singly or multiply into Shewanella decolorationis microbial fuel cells and resulted in more rapid cell growth, higher flavin concentration and higher biofilm metabolic viability, but lower columbic efficiency and normalized energy recovery while the CE and NER were enhanced by Fe2O3 or fumarate.

TL;DR: Investigating the intra-annual bacterial community structure in the Dongjiang River, a drinking water source of Hong Kong, using high-throughput pyrosequencing in concert with geochemical property measurements during dry, and wet seasons showed that Proteobacteria, Actinob bacteria, and Bacteroidetes were the dominant phyla of bacterioplankton communities.
