Antibiotic ciprofloxacin is ubiquitous in the environment. However, little is known about
ciprofloxacin dissipation by microbial community. The present study investigated the …

Biological reduction is an effective method for removal of perchlorate (ClO 4−), where
perchlorate is transformed into chloride by perchlorate-reducing bacteria (PRB). An external …

A combined heterotrophic-sulfur-autotrophic system (CHSAS) was established to
simultaneously reduce perchlorate and nitrate in water. In this system, the OH− produced by …

Nitrogen pollution has become a major threat to the aquatic environment, and the key to
solve this problem is to enhance the nitrate reduction in water. Intimately coupled …

Anaerobic granular sludge (AnGS) was cultured to treat high-strength perchlorate (reaching
to 4800 mg/L) wastewater by an anaerobic baffled reactor (ABR) system with five equal …

Perchlorate bioreduction coupled to methane oxidation was successfully achieved without
the addition of nitrate or nitrite in a membrane biofilm reactor (MBfR) inoculated with a …

The combined anaerobic baffled reactors (ABRs) of heterotrophic and sulfur-based
autotrophic processes were first investigated for the removal of high perchlorate …

A heterotrophic sulfur autotrophic integrated fluidized bed reactor was established for
simultaneous and efficient removal of ClO 4− and NO 3− from water. The optimum operating …

Abstract Perchlorate (ClO 4−) contamination is more and more concerned due to the
hazards to humans. Based on the common primary bacterium (Helicobacteraceae) of both …

Perchlorate is a naturally occurring and manufactured chemical anion and can be present in
water sources together with nitrate. This study aims at (1) determining the nitrate and …
