Journal ArticleDOI
Biodegradation of p-nitrophenol by aerobic granules in a sequencing batch reactor.
TL;DR: The results in this study demonstrate that it is possible to use aerobic granules for PNP biodegradation and broadens the benefits of using the SBR to target treatment of toxic and recalcitrant organic compounds.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recovery of critical metals using biometallurgy
Wei-Qin Zhuang,Jeffrey P. Fitts,Caroline M. Ajo-Franklin,Synthia Maes,Lisa Alvarez-Cohen,Tom Hennebel +5 more
TL;DR: This review defines the sources and waste streams from which PGMs and REEs can potentially be sustainably recovered using microorganisms, and discusses the metal-microbe interactions most likely to form the basis of different environmentally friendly recovery processes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Presence of anaerobic bacteroides in aerobically grown microbial granules.
TL;DR: This is the first study to use a suite of culture-independent techniques to report the presence of a defined species of anaerobic bacteria in aerobically grown microbial granules.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bioleaching of rare earth elements from monazite sand.
TL;DR: Three fungal strains were found to be capable of bioleaching rare earth elements from monazite, a rare earth phosphate mineral, utilizing themonazite as a phosphate source and releasing rare earth cations into solution, indicating that compounds exogenously released by these organisms contribute substantially to leaching.
Journal ArticleDOI
Incomplete Wood–Ljungdahl pathway facilitates one-carbon metabolism in organohalide-respiring Dehalococcoides mccartyi
Wei-Qin Zhuang,Shan Yi,Markus Bill,Vanessa L. Brisson,Xueyang Feng,Yujie Men,Mark E. Conrad,Yinjie J. Tang,Lisa Alvarez-Cohen,Lisa Alvarez-Cohen +9 more
TL;DR: It is found that in addition to its ability to incorporate exogenous formate, this pathway cleaves acetyl-CoA to generate methyl-tetrahydrofolate for methionine biosynthesis, serving as a unique substitute of the missing methylene-TetrahYDro Folate reductase function.
