    Abstract Prokaryotic communities play important roles in sewer sediment ecosystems, but the community composition, functional potential, and assembly mechanisms of sewer sediment prokaryotic communities are still poorly understood. Here, we studied the sediment prokaryotic communities in different urban functional areas (multifunctional, commercial, and residential areas) through 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing. Our results suggested that the compositions of prokaryotic communities varied significantly among functional areas.

    Abstract This paper describes a voltammetric method and data analysis program developed for the detection of arsenic(III) in commercial apple juice. Arsenic(III) was detected using square wave stripping voltammetry with gold nanoparticle modified screen printed electrodes. The only sample pretreatment performed was the addition of a 100 mM phosphate buffer with a pH of 7. To compensate for interference from high ascorbic acid concentrations, a data analysis program was developed in MATLAB to fit a non-linear baseline, allowing for accurate peak height measurement. With this data analysis program, the developed methodology had a sensitivity of 0.1007 µA (µg L

    Abstract The survival pattern of Escherichia coli O157:H7 (E. coli O157:H7) and its regulatory factors in natural environments have been widely studied. However, there is little information about the survival of E. coli O157:H7 in artificial environments, especially in wastewater treatment facilities. In this study, a contamination experiment was performed to explore the survival pattern of E. coli O157:H7 and its central control factors in two constructed wetlands (CWs) under different hydraulic loading rates (HLRs). The results showed that the survival time of E. coli O157:H7 was longer in the CW under the higher HLR. Substrate ammonium nitrogen and available phosphorus were the main factors that influenced the survival of E. coli O157:H7 in CWs. Despite the minimal effect of microbial α-diversity, some keystone taxa, such as Aeromonas, Selenomonas, and Paramecium, governed the survival of E. coli O157:H7. In addition, the prokaryotic community had a more significant impact on the survival of E. coli O157:H7 than the eukaryotic community. The biotic properties had a more substantial direct power on the survival of E. coli O157:H7 than the abiotic factors in CWs. Collectively, this study comprehensively disclosed the survival pattern of E. coli O157:H7 in CWs, which is an essential addition to the environmental behavior of E. coli O157:H7, providing a theoretical basis for the prevention and control of biological contamination in wastewater treatment processes.

    Abstract In rural China, many constructed wetlands (CWs) have been developed to treat rural wastewater sustainably. However, due to the scarce information on those rural CWs, it is difficult to analyze the biological contaminants within those systems, such as antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and pathogens. Based on the data collected from two pilot-scale, one-year-observed CWs, for the first time, this study explored the accumulation of ARGs and pathogens using the metagenomic sequencing approach and SourceTracker analysis under different hydraulic loading rates. The Shannon index of ARGs in the effluent surpassed the level found in the influent. The DESeq2 analysis showed that up to 21.49% of the total pathogen species had increased relative abundance in the effluent compared with the influent. By combining the contribution of substrate and rhizosphere, the CW became a more influencing factor for ARGs and pathogens contamination than the influent. The network analysis revealed a critical but latent fact that the development of antibiotic-resistant pathogens is highly likely to be triggered by the co-occurrence of ARGs and pathogens. Collectively, from the aspect of biological risk, our study showed that CWs alone might not be an ideal solution for improving wastewater treatment in rural China.

    Abstract The recent outbreak of a novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 has posed a significant global public health threat and caused dramatic social and economic disruptions. A new research direction is attracting a significant amount of attention in the academic community of environmental sciences and engineering, in which rapid community-level monitoring could be achieved by applying the methodology of wastewater based epidemiology (WBE). Given the fact that the development of a mass balance on the total number of viral RNA copies in wastewater samples and the infected stool specimens is the heart of WBE, the result of the quantitative RNA detection in wastewater has to be highly sensitive, accurate, and reliable. Thus, applying effective concentration methods before the subsequent RNA extraction and RT-qPCR detection is a must-have procedure for the WBE. This review provides new insights into the primary concentration methods that have been adopted by the eighteen recently reported COVID-19 wastewater detection studies, along with a brief discussion of the mechanisms of the most commonly used virus concentration methods, including the PEG-based separation, electrostatically charged membrane filtration, and ultrafiltration. In the end, two easy and well-proven concentration strategies are recommended as below, aiming to maximize the practical significance and operational effectiveness of the SARS-CoV-2 virus concentration from wastewater samples.

    Abstract Given its potential applications in confronting the COVID-19 pandemic, wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) has attracted tremendous attention. Developing a fast, cost-effective, and practical method for SARS-CoV-2 detection in wastewater is of great significance to facilitate future WBE development. By now, the PCR-based approach serves as the reference method and “gold standard” to detect the virus in wastewater. However, we found a trend that the PCR-based method becomes almost an unshakable choice as more and more studies were published regarding SARS-CoV-2 WBE. Of note, the importance of exploring new, alternative approaches for SARS-CoV-2 detection in wastewater should not be underestimated. In this context, the prospect of using electrochemical immunosensors as the alternative detection method was investigated in this survey. Based on the previous efforts towards different virus immunoassay studies and newly published PCR-based COVD-19 WBE works, this survey provides new insights into the electrochemical immunoassay that have been widely adopted in body fluids virus detection, along with an extensive discussion of the detection mechanism, detection performance, past performances, current efforts, and potential challenges with wastewater detection. In the end, this survey concludes that using electrochemical immunosensors to analyze SARS-CoV-2 in wastewater samples quantitatively may have better feasibility and practicability than using the conventional PCR-based approach, especially when considering its fast detection, ease of miniaturization, and potential on-site measurement.

    Abstract Constructed wetland (CW) is an environment-friendly and low-cost technology for nutrients removal from domestic wastewater. For a well-tuned CW, hydraulic loading rate (HLR) is one of the critical factors, particularly under the challenging circumstance of more frequent heavy rainfall events brought by global warming. In this study, a comprehensive investigation was conducted to explore the influence of different HLRs on the CW's bulk substrate and root-associated microbiota aiming to yield new insight for CW management from a hybrid perspective of environmental microbiology and engineering science. The response of the microbial community and associated nutrients removal performance under different HLR settings were analyzed after a one-year operation. Results showed that the bulk substrate and rhizosphere genera involved in desulfurization and denitrification, such as Ferritrophicum, Sulfurimonas, and Sulfurisoma, were enriched in the higher HLR condition and associated with the higher total nitrogen (TN) and nitrate nitrogen (NO₃⁻-N) removal compared to the lower HLR condition. Co-occurrence network analysis demonstrated a more complex network under the higher HLR condition. Besides, it was observed that more stochastic in microbial assembly under the higher HLR condition. Surprisingly, zoonotic pathogens were observed and showed a greater prevalence under the higher HLR condition, indicating the potential correlation between HLR and pathogen intrusion. Collectively, this study revealed that the microbiota could be significantly altered under different HLR conditions, thereby resulting in differences in nutrients removal performance.
