TL;DR: Investigation of the effects of biodegradable polylactic acid microplastics on soil microbiota and related ecological processes under conditions of high or low carbon content showed that PLA MPs had no significant effect on the overall diversity and composition of bacterial communities or related ecosystem functions and processes, but co-occurrence network analysis revealed thatPLA MPs impacted the interactions between constituent species.

TL;DR: The results suggest that using a low-cost APB adsorbent for heavy metals contaminated water treatment may have great ecological and environmental significance.

TL;DR: The key functional microorganisms responsible for nitrification-denitrification in the WWTP were species belonging to the genera Nitrospira, Hydrogenophilaceae, Comamonas, Dechloromonas, Thauera, Haliangium, and Halomona, indicating that functional groups were highly enriched in the active sludges and thus enabled nitrogen removal.

TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors investigated the vertical distribution of bacterial community structure in two eutrophic lakes of China, Lake Taihu and Lake Xuanwu, using a molecular fingerprinting technique, denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) followed by DNA sequence analysis, and the results were interpreted with multivariate statistical analysis.

TL;DR: In this article, four horizontal subsurface flow pilot-scale constructed wetlands (CWs) named as S1, S2, M1 and M2 were constructed to treat aquaculture wastewater.
