TL;DR: Based upon an international workshop, the authors evaluates how nano-scale pore structures and unique properties that emerge at nano- and sub-nano-size domains could improve the energy efficiency and selectivity of electroseparation or electrocatalytic processes for treating potable or waste waters.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tetracycline resistance gene maintenance under varying bacterial growth rate, substrate and oxygen availability, and tetracycline concentration
TL;DR: It was observed that conditions that ease the metabolic burden of plasmid reproduction (e.g., higher substrate and O2 availability) enhanced resistance plasmids maintenance; such conditions may be conducive to the establishment and preservation of ARG reservoirs in the environment.

Granular activated carbon as nucleating agent for aerobic sludge granulation: Effect of GAC size on velocity field differences (GAC versus flocs) and aggregation behavior
Jia-heng Zhou,Hang Zhao,Miao Hu,Haitian Yu,Xiangyang Xu,Julia E. Vidonish,Pedro J. J. Alvarez,Liang Zhu +7 more
TL;DR: Overall, based on analysis of aggregation behavior, GAC of suitable sizes (0.2mm) can serve as the nucleating agent to accelerate flocs-GAC coaggregation and formation of aerobic granules.
Journal ArticleDOI
1,4-Dioxane biodegradation at low temperatures in Arctic groundwater samples
TL;DR: The potential for dioxane bioremediation and natural attenuation of contaminated groundwater in sensitive cold-weather ecosystems such as the Arctic is reported, and differences in competitive advantages of these two strains are indicated.
