TL;DR: A detailed monitorization of the dynamics of microalgae population revealed that the combination of moderate temperatures/solar irradiances and high organic loading rates, prevailing during late spring and summer, supported higher microalgAE diversities than those found during winter conditions.

TL;DR: Green microalgae evaluated for their ability to support carbon, nitrogen and phosphorous removal in symbiosis with activated sludge bacteria during the biodegradation of four and eight times diluted piggery wastewater in batch tests showed that microalgal tolerance towards NH(3) was hypothesized as the key selection criterion.

TL;DR: This article reviewed published and new long-term (10-100 years) fish data series from 24 European lakes (area: 0.04-5,648 km2; mean depth: 1-177 m; a north-south gradient from Sweden to Spain) with an annual temperature increase of about 0.15-0.3°C per decade profound changes have occurred in either fish assemblage composition, body size and/or age structure during recent decades and a shift towards higher dominance of eurythermal species.

TL;DR: Overall, these results provide the first demonstration of efficient antibiotic removal, occurring mainly via indirect photodegradation, during relevant HRAP operation (low pollutant concentration, domestic wastewater and natural sunlight).

TL;DR: The influence of biogas flow rate on the elemental and macromolecular composition of the algal-bacterial biomass produced fromBiogas upgrading in a 180 L photobioreactor interconnected to a 2.5 L external bubbled absorption column was investigated using diluted anaerobically digested vinasse as cultivation medium.
