Ketoprofen, a bicyclic non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug commonly used in human and
veterinary medicine, has recently been cited as an environmental contaminant that raises …

Biotransformation of trace-level organic micropollutants (OMPs) by complex microbial
communities in wastewater treatment facilities is a key process for their detoxification and …

Removal performances of organic micropollutants by conventional activated sludge (CAS)
and aerobic granular sludge (AGS) were investigated at a full-scale wastewater treatment …

Micropollutant biodegradation is selected by the interplay among environmental conditions
and microbial community composition. This study investigated how different electron …

The inadequate elimination of micropollutants in wastewater treatment plants (WWTP),
cause to increase in the incidence of antibiotic resistant bacterial strains. Growth of microbial …

The engineering of complex communities can be a successful path to understand the
ecology of microbial systems and improve biotechnological processes. Here, we developed …

Assessment of micropollutant biodegradation is essential to determine the persistence of
potentially hazardous chemicals in aquatic ecosystems. We studied the dissipation half-lives …

In shallow, open-water engineered wetlands, design parameters select for a photosynthetic
microbial biomat capable of robust pharmaceutical biotransformation, yet the contributions of …

Groundwater, a major source of drinking water worldwide, is often contaminated with
micropollutants. Although microbial communities in aquifers and soils have the capability to …

Hyporheic zones are the water-saturated flow-through subsurfaces of rivers which are
characterized by the simultaneous occurrence of multiple physical, biological, and chemical …
