A team led by Prof. Yu Xin in the Institute of Urban Environment, Chinese Academy of Sciences, found that low nutrient level, as the key environmental factor in drinking water system, can reduce the fitness cost of efflux pump mediated ciprofloxacin resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa, thus affecting the persistence of antibiotic resistance in this circumstance.
The long-term persistence of antibiotic resistance in the environment, especially in drinking water, is a public health co...

Aerobic compost has been one of the major technologies during the past few decades. It is used in converting livestock manure and slurry waste into nutrient-rich fertilizers, thus making the waste bioavailable to plants. Essentially, aerobic compost is a process of organic pollutants degradation by microorganisms. During composting process, energy is generated due to the organic pollutants biodegradation, which facilitate the composting temperature improvement. At higher temperatures ( ...
