In nature, microbes tend to form synergistic biofilms on a wide range of materials using
extracellular polymeric substances to embed sessile cells. Problematic biofilms provide …

Sulfur as a macroelement plays an important role in biochemistry in both natural
environments and engineering biosystems, which can be further linked to other important …

Sulfate reducing bacteria (SRB) are often the culprits of microbiologically influenced
corrosion (MIC) in anoxic environments because sulfate is a ubiquitous oxidant. MIC of …

Chlorinated organic compounds are widely used as solvents, but they are pollutants that can
have adverse effects on the environment and human health. Dissimilatory iron-reducing …

Halogenated flame retardants (HFRs) have been extensively used in various consumer
products and many are classified as persistent organic pollutants due to their resistance to …

In the present work, we studied the stress-assisted microbiologically influenced corrosion
mechanism of 2205 duplex steel caused by sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) in simulated …

Background Massive amounts of sewage sludge are generated during biological sewage
treatment and are commonly subjected to anaerobic digestion, land application, and landfill …

The fate of organic pollutants in environmental matrices can be determined by degradation
and humification. The humification process represents a promising strategy to remove …

Microbial electrolysis cell (MEC) is a promising in-situ strategy for chlorinated organic
compound (COC) pollution remediation due to its high efficiency, low energy input, and long …

Tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA), a widely used brominated flame retardant in electronics
manufacturing, has caused global contamination due to improper e-waste disposal. Its …
