Tetracyclines (TCs) are a group of broad-spectrum antibiotics having vast human, veterinary,
and aquaculture applications. The continuous release of TCs residues into the environment …

Aerobic granulation, a novel environmental biotechnological process, was increasingly
drawing interest of researchers engaging in work in the area of biological wastewater …

The contributions of individual components in extracellular polymeric substances (EPSs) on
structural stability of phenol-fed, aerobic granules were examined. The roles of proteins, α …

Phenols are very soluble in water; as a result, they can pollute a massive volume of fresh
water, wastewater, groundwater, oceans, and soil, negatively affecting plant germination …

In this study, aerobic granular sludge was successfully developed in a pilot-scale
sequencing batch reactor (SBR) installed on site to treat real wastewater using traditional …

Extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) have a critical contribution to the stability of
aerobic granular sludge (AGS), but the mechanism and details of EPS composition and …

Compared to activated sludge flocs, aerobic granules have a regular shape, and a compact
and dense structure which enhances settleability, higher biomass retention, multi-microbial …

This paper examines the simultaneous sorption and biodegradation performance of
tetracycline (TC) by the nitrifying granular sludge as well as the short-term exposure toxicity …

Strain XA05 and FG03 with high biodegradation activity of phenol were isolated from the
activated sludge and phenol-contaminated soils in Northwest of China, respectively. DNA …

Aerobic granules effectively degrade phenol at high concentrations. This work cultivated
aerobic granules that can degrade phenol at a constant rate of 49 mg‐phenol/g· VSS/h up to …
