TL;DR: Quorum sensing regulates production of ‘public goods’ by Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which releases toxic hydrogen cyanide to constrain QS-deficient cheaters, and it is shown thatQS-proficient strains protect themselves by producing a cyanide-insensitive enzyme in response to reactive oxygen species released by cheaters.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of prefermentation pretreatment (PF) alone and prefermentation combined with hydrothermal pretreatments (PF-HT) on the production of volatile fatty acids (VFAs) by the anaerobic fermentation of food waste (FW) were investigated.

TL;DR: Results show that microbial sulfate reduction is high in the saturated zone, especially when the temperature is at 50-60 °C, and the microbial diversity and the abundance of functional genes reveal that specific sulfate-reducing bacteria such as Dethiobacter, the bacteria that offer energy to them, and genes other than dsrA and dsrB may have a close relationship with the variation in the reduction of sulfate.

TL;DR: In this article, a bioelectrochemically assisted microbial system (BEAMS) was developed for 2-fluoroaniline removal in organic fluorine wastewater and the effects of electricity on 2fluoroane removal performance, metabolic behavior as well as bacterial community structures were investigated.

TL;DR: Overall, this study indicated the WBS worked well for the fluctuation of CH(4) influent flux during landfill stabilization.
