Municipal wastewaters contain a multitude of organic trace pollutants. Often, their
biodegradability by activated sludge microorganisms is decisive for their elimination during …

Lipids (characterized as oils, greases, fats and long-chain fatty acids) are important organic
components of wastewater. Their amount, for example, in municipal wastewater is …

" Dynamic Energy Budget (DEB) theory is a formal theory for the uptake and use of

This study explored the effect of different bulk organic carbon matrices on the fate of trace
organic chemicals (TOrC) during managed aquifer recharge (MAR). Infiltration through …

Aromatic azo dyes possess inherent resistance and are known to be carcinogenic, posing a
significant threat to human and ecosystems. Enhancing the biodegradation of azo dyes …

The quality of the bio-treated coking wastewater (BTCW) is difficult to meet increasingly
stringent coking wastewater discharge standards and future wastewater recycling needs. In …

Phenols represent a group of organic pollutants frequently found in many near-shore marine
systems. The microbial degradation of phenols, mainly by bacteria and fungi, has been …

A novel phenol-degrading filamentous fungus, strain JH6, was isolated from activated
sludge and identified as a member of Paecilomyces variotii based on standard …

Metabolic theory specifies constraints on the metabolic organisation of individual organisms.
These constraints have important implications for biological processes ranging from the …
