Freshwater is a scarce resource that continues to be at high risk of pollution from
anthropogenic activities, requiring remediation in such cases for its continuous use. The …

Biofilm carriers play an important role in attached growth systems for wastewater treatment
processes. This study systematically summarizes the traditional and novel biofilm carriers …

This study examined the spatio-temporality of heavy metal concentrations (Al, Cd, Co, Cr,
Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb and Zn) in the sediments of Lake Bafa, one of the most important wetlands of …

The objective of this research was to determine the degree of heavy metal contamination in
River Ngada and the extent to which the sediment quality of the river had deteriorated. In this …

In this study, the effects of increasing copper (Cu) concentrations on the denitrification
pathway and on the diversity of a denitrifier community and gene expression were evaluated …

For full understanding of the bacterial community in the intertidal zones of Bohai Bay, China,
we used pyrosequencing-based approach to analyze the 16S rRNA gene of bacteria in the …

A large variety of aquatic animals was found to emit the potent greenhouse gas nitrous oxide
when nitrate was present in the environment. The emission was ascribed to denitrification by …

The impact of heavy metal ions on the biodenitrification process remains unknown, which is
the key to understand the nitrogen cycle in estuarine areas. Here, denitrification rate and the …

The spatial and temporal variations of the fluxes of nitrous oxide (N2O) and methane (CH4)
and associated abiotic sediment parameters were quantified for the first time across the …

In this study, we investigated the effect of simulated salinities in the nitrification process in
estuarine sediments through fingerprinting analysis of ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) …
