It is therefore essential to treat and remediate the B[a]P-contaminated environment. Microbial remediation of B[a]P-contaminated environments is considered to be one of the most effective strategies, and the addition of biostimulants is a feasible method to further improve the effectiveness of microbial remediation. In this study, we used <em>Bacillus subtilis</em> MSC4 to screen for the stimulation of sodium gluconate, which promoted B[a]P degradation. Based on biochemical and transcriptomic analyses, Sodium gluconate was found to significantly increase the biomass of MSC4 and the expression of most genes involved in B[a]P degradation. Activities of central carbon metabolism, fatty acid β-oxidation and oxidative phosphorylation were all promoted. The significant increase in acid-induced oxalate decarboxylase expression indicates a decrease in intracellular pH, which promoted the synthesis of acetoin and lactate. Genes involved in the nitrogen cycle, especially nitrification and denitrification, were significantly up-regulated, contributing to B[a]P degradation. Genes involved in the synthesis of enzyme cofactors, including thiamine, molybdenum cofactors, NAD and heme, were up-regulated, which contributes to increasing enzyme activity in metabolic pathways. Up-regulation of genes in flagella assembly, chemotaxis, and lipopeptide synthesis is beneficial for the dissolution and uptake of B[a]P. Genes related to the sugar transport system were upregulated, which facilitates the transport and absorption of monosaccharides and oligosaccharides by MSC4. This study provides a theoretical basis for the further application of sodium gluconate in the treatment of PAH-contaminated sites.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":15788,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Environmental Sciences-china","volume":"152 ","pages":"Pages 39-53"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140795336","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A 94d pilot-scale experiment was conducted using real municipal wastewater with an ammonia concentration of 43.5 ± 5.3 mg N/L at a temperature range of 11.3–28.7℃. The nitrogen removal performance and associated pathways, shifts in the microbial community as well as sludge yield were investigated. The results were as follows: the effluent TN and COD were 0.6 ± 0.4 mg/L and 31.1 ± 3.8 mg/L respectively, and the NAR exceeding 95 %. GI-PN/D achieved deep nitrogen removal of municipal wastewater through stable PN without taking any other measures. The primary pathways for nitrogen removal were identified as denitrification, simultaneous nitrification-denitrification, and aerobic denitrification. High-throughput sequencing analysis revealed that the immobilized fillers facilitated the autonomous enrichment of functional bacteria in each reactor, effectively promoting the dominance and stability of the microbial communities. In addition, GI-PN/D had the characteristic of low sludge yield, with an average sludge yield of 0.029 kg SS/kg COD.

Compared with the traditional coal-fired power plant flue gas emission reduction technology, carbon fixation and emission reduction by microalgae is considered as a promising technology due to the advantages of simple process equipment, convenient operation and environmental protection. When the flue gas is treated by microalgae carbon fixation and emission reduction technology, microalgae cells can fix CO₂ in the flue gas through photosynthesis, and simultaneously absorb NO_x and SO_x as nitrogen and sulfur sources required for growth. Meanwhile, they can also absorb mercury, selenium, arsenic, cadmium, lead and other heavy metal ions in the flue gas to obtain microalgae biomass. The obtained microalgae biomass can be further transformed into high value-added products, which has broad development prospects. This paper reviews the mechanisms and pathways of CO₂ sequestration, the mechanism and impacts of microalgal emission reduction of flue gas pollutants, and the applications of carbon sequestration in industrial flue gas by microalgae. Finally, this paper provides some guidelines and prospects for the research and application of green emission reduction technology for industrial flue gas.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":15788,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Environmental Sciences-china","volume":"152 ","pages":"Pages 14-28"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140772869","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To precisely determine the contributions of meteorological conditions and emission reductions to the improvement of air quality in the Northeast Plain, we conducted three scenario simulations. By comparing source emissions in December 2016 and 2020 using the WRF-Chem model (except for SO₂), we observed significant reductions of 21.3%, 8.8%, and 9.8% in mass concentrations of PM_2.5, NO₂, and CO, respectively, from 2016 to 2020. This highlights the essential role that meteorological conditions play in determining air quality in the Northeast Plain. Moreover, further reducing source emissions by 30% in December 2016 resulted in subsequent reductions of 25.3%, 29.0%, 4.5%, and 30.3% in mass concentrations of PM_2.5, SO₂, NO₂, and CO, respectively, under the same meteorological conditions. Notably, source emission reduction was effective for PM_2.5, SO₂, and CO, but not for NO₂.

Field work showed that the water-air fluxes of AHs measured at sites with high cyanobacteria abundance could reach an order of magnitude greater than those at sites with low cyanobacteria abundance, suggesting that cyanobacteria could be the important contributor to measured AHs. Laboratory incubation experiments further confirmed the AH emission of cyanobacteria and revealed that the emission could change significantly over the lifespan of cyanobacteria and varied to their growing conditions.

It is of great significance to understand the continuous changes of phytoplankton in the initial impoundment period for the protection of reservoir water quality. Therefore, a two-year in-situ monitoring study was conducted on water quality and phytoplankton in a representative canyon-shaped reservoir named Sanhekou and the interannual changes of phytoplankton community and its response to environmental changes during the initial impoundment period were discussed at taxonomic versus functional classification levels. The results showed that the total nitrogen and permanganate index levels were relatively high in the first year due to rapid water storage and heavy rainfall input, and the more stable hydrological conditions in the second year promoted the increase of algae density and the transformation of community, and the proportion of cyanobacteria increased significantly. The succession order of phytoplankton in the first year of the initial impoundment period was Chlorophyta-Bacillariophyta-Chlorophyta, or J/F/X1-P/MP/W1-A/X1/MP, respectively. And the succession order in the second year was Cyanobacteria/Chlorophyta-Bacillariophyta-Chlorophyta, or L_M/G/P-P/A/X1-X1/J/G.

Our analysis confirmed that ARI curtailed O₃ while elevating PM_2.5. AHC reduced O₃ through heterogeneous absorption of NO_x and hydroxides while notably fostering fine-grained sulfate, resulting in a PM_2.5 increase. Emission reductions mitigated the inhibitory impact of ARI on meteorological fields and photolysis rates. Emission reduction individually without aerosol feedback led to a 5.43 ppb O₃ increase and a 22.89 µg/m³ PM_2.5 decrease. ARI and AHC amplified the emission-reduction-induced (ERI) O₃ rise by 1.83 and 0.31 ppb, respectively. The response of ARI to emission diminution brought about a modest PM_2.5 increase of 0.31 µg/m³. Conversely, AHC, acting as the primary contributor, caused a noteworthy PM_2.5 decrease of 4.60 µg/m³. As efforts concentrate on reducing PM_2.5, the promotion of ARI on PM_2.5 counterbalanced the efficacy of emission reduction and the AHC-induced strengthening of PM_2.5 decrease. The ALL magnified the ERI O₃ increase by 38.9% and PM_2.5 decrease by 18.7%.
