The document describes a study that aimed to identify potential bioindicators of biological nitrogen removal in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). Samples were collected from six WWTPs over one year and analyzed for protist and metazoan populations. Multivariate analyses revealed differences in biological communities between bioreactors and seasons. Models identified several protist and metazoan species correlated with nitrogen removal efficiency. Species were grouped based on their associations with different nitrogen compounds in plant effluent, with some correlated with good nitrification and others with poor nitrification performance.

Nitrification, the sequential oxidation of ammonia via nitrite to nitrate, is an important process for nitrogen removal from municipal wastewater. This process is catalysed by ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) and nitrite-oxidizing bacteria (NOB), two different groups of slow-growing microorganisms whose cooperation is needed to achieve complete nitrification. High efficiency and stability of this process is required for wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) operational optimization due to
nitrification is often subjected to recurring collapse in many WWTPs. Therefore, a better understanding of the microbial ecology of nitrifying bacteria in WWTPs could
potentially improve the nitrification stability. Novel high-throughput molecular methods, as next generation sequencing (NGS), are nowadays providing detailed knowledge on the microorganisms governing wastewater treatment systems. This
methods in conjunction with the environmental ordination of the relationships between biological variables (nitrifying bacterial community) and physicochemical variables (nitrogen compounds and environmental conditions) provide a powerful
tool to elucidate how selection pressures imposed by operational and environmental conditions affect community diversity and dynamics within activated sludge systems.

Biological nitrification-denitrification is commonly used for nitrogen removal in Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTPs). Nitrification, is the sequential oxidation of ammonia via nitrite to nitrate. This process is catalysed by ammonia-oxidizing bacteria and archaea (AOB and AOA) and nitrite-oxidizing bacteria (NOB), whose cooperation is needed to achieve complete nitrification. They are a phylogenetically diverse guild with pronounced ecological niche specialization and they differ from each other in fundamental physiological and molecular traits. Although the nitrification process in WWTPs has been investigated in depth, the response of microbial
communities are still a focus of considerable interest due to their high sensitivity to inhibitory compounds and environmental factors, that results in repeated breakdowns of nitrification performance. Most of studies have been mainly descriptive and/or exploratory and environmental interpretation has not been addressed. In this study, we focus on the environmental ordination of the relationships between biological variables (nitrifying bacterial community) and physicochemical variables (nitrogen compounds and environmental conditions), to propose new strategies to improve the performance of the nitrogen removal process in WWTPs.

The ozonation of activated sludge has been used as a technical measure for bulking control in a high number of full-scale wastewater treatment plants (WWTP), despite a lack of precise
predictions on the level of reduction in filament growth or the lack of knowledge of impact on microbial community from this technique. Ozone is a strong oxidant reacting rapidly with
suspended solids. Various studies have suggested that ozone attacks the bacterial cell surface, alters the permeability of the cell membrane and ultimately results in the leakage of cell
contents. However, the microbes in the sludge form a complex matrix, and ozone may affect bacterial populations at different rates different depending on their locations in the floc or their
capacity for adaptation. Nitrification, a key step of the nitrogen cycle, is the sequential oxidation of ammonia via nitrite to nitrate. This process is catalysed by ammonia-oxidizing bacteria
(AOB) and nitrite-oxidizing bacteria (NOB), whose cooperation is needed to achieve complete nitrification. Although the nitrification process in WWTPs has been investigated in depth, the response of microbial communities are still a focus of considerable interest due to their high sensitivity to inhibitory compounds and environmental factors that results in repeated
breakdowns of nitrification performance. In this study, we focus on two aspects that have not been thoroughly considered in previous studies; the use of ozone for Gordonia foaming
elimination on dynamic population of a nitrifying bacterial community, and the nitrification performance of activated sludge system.

Abstract: In this study, filamentous bacteria in the activated sludge of a WWTP were investigated throughout a one-year period using high-throughput short-read (Illumina) and full-length (PacBio) 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing. The results showed that a total of 28 filamentous bacteria genera
were identified using Illumina sequencing. Also, we found 25 species using PacBio sequencing, belonging to Curvibacter, Mycobacterium, Haliscomenobacter, Defluvicoccus, Sphaerotilus, Thiothrix, Leptothrix, Gordonia and Tetrasphaera genera. Active Volatile Suspended Solids (AVSS) were
calculated from ATP data contained in living microorganisms, this parameter represents the living biomass concentration, and the food/microorganisms ratio (F/M ratio) was calculated using AVSS instead of MLVSS. To assess the contribution of the F/M ratio to the variability observed in the filamentous bacteria structure we carried out distance-based linear models (DISTLM) and distancebased redundancy analysis (dbRDA).

2010 - A new species of genus Metacystis from a Wastewater Treatment PlantWALEBUBLÉ
ABSTRACT. Unusual prostomatid specimens were found in the biological reactor of a wastewater treatment plant in a health resort in Valencia, Spain. These ciliates were attached to flocs unlike other free-swimming prostomatid ciliates described to date in the mixed liquor of activated sludge plants. The morphological study of this species led to a typically different combination of characteristics: elongated
cell shape, 20–30 somatic kineties, 2 perioral kineties, and 1 circumoral kinety, 1 large vacuole protruding at the terminal end, a lorica tapered toward the aperture with a smooth neck, and 11–16 annular ridges. These characteristics place this representative as a new species of the genus Metacystis—Metacystis galiani n. sp. This species became the dominant population within the biological reactor when high values of conductivity (4,244 mS/cm) and temperature (26.8 1C) were recorded.

Dispensing processes and the tools used have a profound influence on estimates of compound activity. Researchers have shown that leachates from plastic labware can profoundly affect biological assays. Data derived using disposable tip-based serial dilution and dispensing have shown a reduction in inhibition compared to acoustic dispensing with some compounds appearing hundreds of times more active with the acoustic process. Furthermore, there was no correlation of compound activity between the two processes. Studies of high-throughput screening (HTS) present confounding results that may influence scientific judgment and promote faulty decisions. Some researchers showed that differences in biological activity could vary by three or more orders of magnitude. What we address is how these errors may affect computational models and data manifested in external databases. We show that dispensing processes impact computational and statistical results.
Quantitative Evaluation of Dissociation Mechanisms in Methylorange and MethylredAI Publications
Several computational chemistry programs were evaluated as aids to teaching a part of qualitative analytical chemistry. Computational chemical calculations can predict absorption spectra, thus enabling the modeling of indicator dissociation mechanisms using a personal computer. An updated MNDO program among 51 programs was previously found to be the best predictor to explain the dissociation mechanisms of isobenzofuranones and sulfonephthaleins. Therefore, the further quantitative analysis was performed for methyl-orange and methyl-red. Computational chemical analysis can be used for quantitative explanation of indicator dissociation mechanisms.

"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.

UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola
Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.

Introduction
The optimization of wastewater treatment involves the search of
new tools for the control of the process. Nowadays, restrictions
concerning the discharge of certain pollutants, such as nitrogen
and phosphorus are imposed, so new configuration of treatment
plants have been proposed (fig. 1).
Advances in the knowledge of dynamics of the protists and
metazoans populations are necessary for the proposal of new
biological control tools in activated sludge. Many studies have
attempted to relate these organisms with physicochemical and
operational variables of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs)
in order to reveal possible bioindicators [1]. However, these
studies have been mainly descriptive and/or exploratory and
environmental interpretation has not been included in them.
Therefore, the aim of this study was the environmental
ordination of the relationships between biological variables
(protists and metazoans) and physicochemical variables
(nitrogen compounds), for the proposal of bioindicators of the
nitrogen removal process in WWTPs.
Material & Methods
Sampling: Samples from activated sludge (n=140), influent
(n=420) and treated effluent (n=140) were collected every
fifteen days during a year from six bioreactors belonging to four
different WWTPs located in Spain (QB, CX, DN and CT).
Biological processing: Density of protists and metazoans was
obteined by direct counting (six replicates of 25 µL) and
different staining procedures, using phase contrast microscopy
(fig. 2). To avoid background noise, only those biological
variables that showed a frequency of appearance in samplings
higher than 20% were selected for the multivariate analysis.
Multivariate analysis: Non-metric multidimensional
scaling (nMDS), principal coordinates analysis (PCoA) and
hierarchical cluster analysis (cluster) were used to evaluate the
spatial-temporal variability of biological variables (protists and
metazoans) by examining the relative distances among
samples and variables in the ordination (abundance log-
transformed data; Bray-Curtis similarity; group-average linking).
To assess the plausible bioindicators of biological nitrogen
removal process in WWTPs, we use a double approach: lineal
and unimodal techniques. We carried out distance-based linear
models (DISTLM), using parsimonious methods (e.g. BIC,
AICC), and unimodal models employing canonical
correspondence analysis (CCA). Nitrogen compounds were
log-transformed and normalized to eliminate their physical
units, prior to multivariate data analyses (euclidean similarity).
Distance-based redundancy analysis (dbRDA) was used to
visualize the DISTLM. All multivariate analyses were performed
with PRIMER v7 [2] with PERMANOVA+ [3] and CANOCO for
Windows 4.5 [4].
Results & Discussion
Fifty-one species of protists and six of metazoans were identified in the active sludge samples investigated. A total of thirty-two species
were selected for the multivariate analysis (fig. 3).
Conclusions
The multivariate models constructed with DISTLM and CCA have provided relevant information about the relationships between protists and metazoans and some plant nitrogen compounds, allowing their
ecological interpretation and obtaining new bioindicators for monitoring the biological nitrogen removal process in active sludge.

As shown in the nMDS and PCoA plots, the results revealed some differences in protists and
metazoans populations between bioreactors (fig. 4) and seasons (fig. 5). A total of six predictive
models (DISTLM) were constructed from the six bioreactors. The dbRDA plot of the total matrix
(all bioreactors) revealed a strong association of several protists and metazoans with the removal
efficiency of soluble total Kjeldhal nitrogen (STKNre) (fig. 6). Species correlated with increasing
STKNre (>75%) were P. trichophorum, E. sulcatum, A. tuberosa, O. articulata, E. plicatilis, Rotaria
sp., P. fluviatilis and Lecane sp., whereas that A. cicada, V. aquadulcis and O. coarctata (fig. 7)
were correlated with decreasing STKNre (<75%). On the other hand, the CCA ordination plot
showed the species related to good (green color) and poor (black color) nitrification performance
(fig. 7).
