https://doi.org/10.1039/C9NR02851JOwing to its superior advantages, including non-destructive data acquisition, unique spectroscopic fingerprints, simple sample preparation, and ultrahigh sensitivity, Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) has been proven to be a promising analytical technique. SERS substrates, which can greatly amplify Raman scattering signals to achieve high sensitivity, are critical in ...

link:https://doi.org/10.3389/fmicb.2019.01448Antibiotics were regarded as panacea for any microbial infections since discovered. However, with the emerging problem of antibiotic resistance, antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB) and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) have been identified as emerging contaminants, posing a serious threat to the health of humans and the environment. Antibiotic resistance is ancient in envir...

link:https://aem.asm.org/content/85/7/e02878-18.abstractSince antibiotics are commonly used in livestock industry in developing countries, animal waste has become an important reservoir of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). ARGs receive more public concern because they can transfer among different hosts by horizontal gene transfer (HGT) and pose a risk to human health. Evidences suggest that long-term application of manure and m...

https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.iecr.8b04893Global water scarcity is one of the greatest crises around the world. By 2025, nearly two thirds of the world's population lives in water deficient area, and millions of people die from waterborne diseases in unsafe water. Exploitation of effective and lower-cost methods for water production and water treatment is addressed urgently. Membrane separation technology appeared i...
