link:https://doi.org/10.1016/j.envpol.2020.114232Arsenic (As) is a class one, nonthreshold human carcinogen that is ubiquitous in the natural environment. Aquatic submerged macrophytes have attracted considerable attention recently for their phytoremediation potential of As contaminated waters. In addition, submerged macrophytes harbored abundant epiphytic bacteria on their leaves and stems. In contrast to plants, As metab...

link:https://doi.org/10.1016/j.biortech.2019.121517Aerobic 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 org...

link:doi.org/10.1016/j.envint.2019.05.077Microbial safety of drinking water has always been a concern in world. At present, heterotrophic plate counting (HPC) method is applied as the standard method to detect bacteria and pathogenic microorganisms in drinking water in most countries and international organizations. However, bacteria may lose the culturability and enter the viable but non-culturable bacteria (VBNC)...
