Microbial spatial heterogeneity is an important determinant of larger-scale community properties, whereas most studies neglect it and therefore only provide average information, potentially obscuring the signal of microbial interactions. Our...

Sulfamethoxazole (SMX) is frequently detected in wastewater where anammox applications are promising. While it has been demonstrated that anammox consortia can adapt to SMX stress, the underlying community adaptation strategy...

Metagenomic strategy serves as the foundation for the ecological exploration of novel bioresources (e.g., industrial enzymes and bioactive molecules) and biohazards (e.g., pathogens and antibiotic resistance genes) in natural and...

Filter mating experiment is widely used to study the conjugation behavior of plasmids and associated antibiotic resistance in environmental settings, however, the influence and biases brought by sample storage conditions...

Although conductive materials have been shown to improve efficiency in anaerobic digestion (AD) by modifying microbial interactions, the interacting network under thermophilic conditions has not been examined. To identify the...

Large amounts of microplastics (MPs) that have accumulated in excess sludge may increase the environmental risk for its subsequent treatment. This study aimed to investigate the performance and mechanism of...

Vermi-filter combined with wetland plant (VFP) is an eco-friendly and sustainable approach for recycling of excess sludge by joint action of earthworms, wetland plants and microorganisms. However, the effects of...
