Bacteria encounter a myriad of stresses in their natural environments, including, for
pathogens, their hosts. These stresses elicit a variety of specific and highly regulated …

The membrane biofilm reactor (MBfR), which is based on the counter diffusion of the
electron donors and acceptors into the biofilm, represents a novel technology for wastewater …

Membrane aerated biofilm bioreactors (MABRs), a relatively new innovation in biological
wastewater treatment technology, have received much attention in recent years. In the past …

The chemical p-nitrophenol (PNP) is a priority pollutant, and PNP wastewater is highly toxic
and resistant to biodegradation. The traditional physical and chemical methods (adsorption …

The ever-increasing daily use of engineered nanoparticles will lead to heightened levels of
these materials in the environment. These nanomaterials will eventually go into the …

In order to avoid the serious air pollution caused by the volatilization of high recalcitrant
