TL;DR: The results showed that the appropriate presence of allicin significantly enhanced the VFA yield and induced the bacteria to produce more signalling molecules and regulate cellular functions, thereby enhancing the microbial adaptive and regulatory capacity to the unfavourable environment.

TL;DR: In this article, the main anaerobic functional microorganisms involved in different stages of AD processes were first demonstrated, and the response of anaerobacterial microbial community to different operating parameters, exogenous interfering substances and digestion substrates, as well as the digestion efficiency were discussed.

TL;DR: In this article, the state-of-the-art applications of hypochlorite technology in wastewater and sludge treatment are summarized based on the main influencing factors and potential mechanisms.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focused on disclosing the association of intrinsic drawbacks in WAS with AD performance, and found that the cemented WAS structure, low fraction of biomass and various high levels of inhibitory pollutants (e.g., organic pollutants and heavy metals), as the integral parts of WAS all greatly restricted the AD performance.

TL;DR: In this paper, the impacts of exogeneous allicins on the antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) variations during waste activated sludge (WAS) fermentation process were revealed, and the overall abundance of ARGs was respectively reduced by 4.84 and 9.42% in presence of 0.01 and 0.05 grams allicin/g TSS.
