The key operational variables included time, flow rate, chemical oxygen demand (COD), pH, volatile fatty acids, total suspended solids, hydraulic retention time, alkalinity, and the organic loading rate. Empirical data used to train and validate the predictive models were acquired from the sequential treatment of laboratory-prepared low-strength synthetic wastewater and actual municipal wastewater samples. Data was collected from two treatment phases: synthetic wastewater (COD: 335.45 ± 28.32 mg/L) was treated from days 0 to 270, followed by real domestic wastewater (COD: 225.28 ± 65.98 mg/L) from days 0 to 130. Gas production was continuously monitored throughout. The XGBoost-PSO model outperformed the standard XGBoost algorithm in both the training and testing phases. For biogas prediction during training, XGBoost-PSO achieved an RMSE of 0.0405, an MAE of 0.0225, and an R² of 0.9832, whereas for methane, the values were an RMSE of 0.0257, an MAE of 0.0175, and an R² of 0.9942. The testing results further confirmed the model's robustness, with RMSE, MAE, and R² values of 0.1017, 0.0676, and 0.9404 for biogas and 0.0694, 0.0519, and 0.9717 for methane, respectively.

Although n-propylbenzene is detected in different environmental matrices and displays toxicity, its bacterial biodegradation has been little explored. Consequently, few transformation products have been identified, and comprehensive biodegradation pathways were not constructed. Understanding n-propylbenzene biotransformation shall be useful to predict its fate and transport in the environment. Therefore, n-propylbenzene biotransformation by soil bacterium, Sphingobium barthaii KK22, was examined by liquid chromatography electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (LC/ESI-MS/MS) through product ion scan collision induced dissociation (CID) analyses. Targeted CID of unknown biotransformation products resulted in the proposal of structures for at least 18 compounds and based upon these results, metabolites were organized into biotransformation pathways which revealed multiple routes to the TCA cycle. Decarboxylation of the n-propylbenzene alkyl side chain was proposed as a key part of the biodegradation process-so-called alkyl chain shortening. At the same time, the aromatic ring of n-propylbenzene was vulnerable to dioxygenation no matter the alkyl chain length or degree of alkyl chain oxidation resulting in numerous 3-, 2- and 1-carbon chain length compounds and their aromatic ring-opened counterparts. Quantitative analyses by LC and growth monitoring by absorbance confirmed that this bacterium eliminated 100 mg/L n-propylbenzene from culture media and that it utilized n-propylbenzene as a carbon source.

This study evaluates the impact of pH on FOG biodegradation by locally isolated biosurfactant-producing bacterial consortia to identify optimal pH conditions. Two highly efficient biosurfactant-producing bacterial isolates, identified via 16S rRNA sequencing as Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Bacillus velezensis, were cultured in Bushnell Haas (BH) medium to form a bacterial consortium. The consortium was then inoculated into fresh BH medium, adjusted to pH values from 4 to 9, and supplemented with 1% FOG (w/v). Samples were monitored at six-day intervals for 30 days under continuous shaking at 130 rpm. After 30 days of biodegradation, the solid FOGs in pH 6 disappeared while flocs were observed in both pH 4 and 5. Despite greater floc formation at pH 6, GC-MS analysis revealed that pH 4 achieved the highest degradation rate, displaying the fewest FOG peaks and the lowest area under peaks, indicating the most substantial FOG reduction. Notably, the consortium achieved the highest FOG removal at pH 4, an acidic condition under which most long-chain FOG components were completely degraded or transformed into shorter chains.
