Flow cytometry, including with online capacity, is a fast and efficient way to profile microbes in water. In this study, <em>Escherichia coli</em> concentrations determined by Colilert18 and flow cytometry profiles from the same water samples were taken from sixteen bathing locations in Southern Sweden. Applying machine learning algorithms confirmed correlations and identified patterns in the microbial community described by the flow cytometry 2D histograms associated with the presence of <em>E. coli</em>. A Random Forest algorithm was best in discriminating between water containing &gt; 100 CFU/100 mL and water containing &lt; 100 CFU/100 mL <em>E. coli</em> when compared to logistic regression and support vector machines, improving prediction accuracy to 80 % from a baseline approach of 55 % when using optimised parameters. The introduction of a two-threshold model, which only considered safe predictions, further improved accuracy to 87 % by utilizing the prediction probability information in random forest. This approach, however, could only predict 65 % of the samples. A feature importance ranking using random forest identified the most important region within the flow cytometric 2D histogram for classification.

Their high toxicity, particularly in the form of free cyanides and hydrogen cyanide, poses severe risks to ecosystems and public health by disrupting cellular respiration via inhibition of cytochrome c oxidase. Conventional chemical treatments such as alkaline chlorination are effective but can be costly, energy-intensive, and generate secondary pollutants. In contrast, microbial bioremediation has emerged as a potentially more sustainable and cost-effective alternative, particularly for on-site treatment of cyanide-laden wastewater from massive tailings dams. Microorganisms including cyanotrophs utilize cyanide as a nitrogen or carbon sources, transforming it into less toxic compounds such as ammonia and carbon dioxide through enzymatic systems like cyanide hydratase, nitrilase, and rhodanese. While bioremediation may operate more slowly than chemical methods, its advantages lie in lower energy consumption, reduced material input, simpler maintenance, and minimized toxic by-products. This review synthesizes current understanding of cyanide’s chemical nature, toxicity, and environmental impact, and explores microbial cyanide degradation mechanisms. It further highlights how advances in metagenomics and synthetic biology (“cyanomics”) are enabling the design of more robust biocatalytic systems.

Firstly, a Cellular Automata (CA)-based advanced solute transport (ASTCA) solver is developed to simulate solute transport due to turbulent diffusion, flow advection, and material decay mechanisms. Constraints are added to prevent unwanted numerical issues in high Pélect number flows from distorting the results. Through three benchmark cases, the ASTCA solver is more accurate than the state-of-the-art Godunov-type FV-TVD model with second-order accuracy. Next, the ASTCA solver is coupled with the well-performing CA-based shallow water flow (SWFCA) solver as a novel CA-based coupled (SWFASTCA) approach. Through real-world pluvial and fluvial flood cases, the ASTCA solver is more reliable than the FV-TVD model. As to the efficiency, the SWFASTCA approach is further GPU-parallelized by OpenCL 2.1 under Nvidia CUDA to see how fast it can be. From the outcomes, the GPU-parallelized SWFASTCA approach is up to 74.2 times faster than its FV-based alternative and can finish a 24 h simulation with 110 thousand grids within 20 s, which is satisfactory as the simulations are performed on a PC without a professional graphics card.

While assessments and management before the outlet of the reclamation facility are well-established, there is limited experience developed for the part of the system beyond the outlet of the reclamation facility. To perform this assessment, new stakeholders (e.g. water distribution managers, storage operators, farmers), previously often overlooked, need to be involved. This study introduces an innovative methodological framework for developing and implementing a risk management plan beyond the outlet of the reclamation facility, focusing mainly on the irrigation distribution network that delivers TWW to its final use in crop irrigation. The approach includes a strategic appraisal using a qualitative method to characterize risks and ensure safe and sustainable water reuse. It also identifies critical nodes within the reuse system, addressing both Human Health Risk Assessment and Environmental Risk Assessment. This methodology was applied on a comprehensive case study in central Italy, where the potential reuse of TWW was assessed for agricultural irrigation in a real 26,000-hectare district.

Similarly, denitrifying phosphorus removal (DPR) offers carbon and energy savings but can produce N<sub>2</sub>O in excess of conventional processes, making sustainability benefits less clear. This study assesses a DPR reactor fed with NO<sub>2</sub><sup>−</sup> to understand N<sub>2</sub>O production and mechanisms with different carbon sources, volatile fatty acids and glucose. N<sub>2</sub>O production up to 50 % of influent nitrogen was observed when the reactor was fed both propionate and glucose. Through 16S rRNA amplicon and shotgun metagenomic sequencing, we found that <em>Candidatus</em> Accumulibacter were the dominant phosphorus accumulating organism (PAO) and encoded a complete denitrification pathway. We also found abundant populations of denitrifying glycogen accumulating organisms (GAO) and ordinary heterotrophic organisms (OHO) with truncated denitrification pathways. We developed an omics-informed process model to assess the impact of truncated denitrification pathways on N<sub>2</sub>O predictions. We found that modeled N<sub>2</sub>O profiles were the most similar to observed results when the denitrification pathways of PAO, GAO, and OHO model populations reflected denitrification gene abundances from the metagenomic sequencing analysis. Overall, our work provides insights into N<sub>2</sub>O production by DPAO and DGAO, provides evidence for direct glucose-driven denitrifying P uptake by <em>Ca.</em> Accumulibacter DPAO, and demonstrates the utility of simple omics-informed process models in predicting N<sub>2</sub>O trends.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":52198,"journal":{"name":"Water Research X","volume":"29 ","pages":"Article 100391"},"PeriodicalIF":8.2,"publicationDate":"2025-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144865408","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}
