Anaerobic microbial core for municipal wastewater treatment — the sustainable platform for resource recovery Open
The requirement for carbon neutrality and bioresource recovery has shifted our views on water treatment from health and pollution avoidance to one of sustainability with water and nutrient circularity. Despite progress, the current process…

Moving Beyond the Silos of Opportunistic Pathogen and Disinfection Byproduct Research to Improve Drinking Water System Management Open
Drinking water opportunistic pathogens (OPs) and disinfection byproducts (DBPs) both pose risks to public health, and their variable occurrence from source to tap complicates efforts to control them simultaneously. Management of OPs and DB…

Linear Mixed Model of Virus Disinfection by Chlorine to Harmonize Data Collected Across Broad Environmental Conditions Open
Despite the critical importance of virus disinfection by chlorine, we lack a fundamental understanding of the relative susceptibility of different viruses to chlorine and robust quantitative relationships between virus disinfection rate co…

Dissolved Methane Recovery and Trace Contaminant Fate Following Mainstream Anaerobic Treatment of Municipal Wastewater Open
Anaerobic treatment of municipal wastewater with the staged anaerobic fluidized bed membrane bioreactor (SAF-MBR) shows promise to transform secondary wastewater treatment into an energy-positive process. However, the dissolved methane in …

Chloride Enhances DNA Reactivity with Chlorine under Conditions Relevant to Water Treatment Open
Free available chlorine (FAC) is widely used to inactivate viruses by oxidizing viral components, including genomes. It is commonly assumed that hypochlorous acid (HOCl) is the chlorinating agent responsible for virus inactivation; however…

Transcriptome analyses of cells carrying the Type II Csp231I restriction–modification system reveal cross-talk between two unrelated transcription factors: C protein and the Rac prophage repressor Open
Restriction-modification (R–M) systems represent an effective mechanism of defence against invading bacteriophages, and are widely spread among bacteria and archaea. In acquiring a Type II R–M system via horizontal gene transfer, the new h…

Effect of Thiols, Zinc, and Redox Conditions on Hg Uptake in <i>Shewanella oneidensis</i> Open
Mercury uptake in bacteria represents a key first step in the production and accumulation of methylmercury in biota. Previous experiments with mercury methylating bacteria have shown that Hg uptake is enhanced by some thiols, in particular…
