Disentangling abiotic and biotic effects of treated wastewater on stream biofilm resistomes enables the discovery of a new planctomycete beta-lactamase

This study investigates the effects of treated wastewater on stream biofilm resistomes, identifying a new planctomycete beta-lactamase that is functionally active despite low sequence similarity to known ARGs.

Temperature modulates stress response in anammox reactors

The paper examines how temperature affects the stress response of anammox bacteria in wastewater treatment under oxygen fluctuations.

Pathogenic and Indigenous Denitrifying Bacteria are Transcriptionally Active and Key Multi-Antibiotic Resistant Players in Wastewater Treatment Plants

The paper analyzes ARG hosts in WWTPs using metatranscriptomics, finding 45% of genomes express multi-antibiotic resistance genes, with pathogens and denitrifying bacteria as key hosts.

Distinct growth stages shaped by an interplay of deterministic and neutral processes are indispensable for functional anammox biofilms

The paper investigates the stages of anammox biofilm development, showing that deterministic and stochastic processes interact to shape community structure and function.

Growth and rapid succession of methanotrophs effectively limit methane release during lake overturn

The paper shows that methanotrophs in a mixing lake undergo a bloom and succession, oxidizing most stored methane during lake overturn, thus limiting methane release.

Lake overturn as a key driver for methane oxidation

The paper quantifies methane oxidation in lakes during overturn periods, showing that microbial activity and physical conditions determine methane flux and emissions.
