999) with a maximum adsorption capacity of 32.26 mg/g at 50 °C. Adsorption kinetic data were best fitted with the pseudo-second-order kinetic model (R2 = 0.999). Thermodynamic study confirmed the spontaneous, endothermic and irreversible adsorption process. Therefore, glauconite is a promising natural low-cost adsorbent for phosphate removal from wastewater.Postaeration, where digested sludge is introduced into aerobic conditions, is a technology that could improve the quality of sludge and sludge liquor in many ways. Although it is a fairly simple process, only few data about the effect of postaeration have been published. In this study, batch experiments have been performed first, indicating that postaeration affects the total ammonia nitrogen (TAN) and sludge dewaterability. In the removal of TAN, both stripping and biological oxidation can play an important role depending on specific condition. Then the postaeration was investigated in a semicontinuous batch reactor. In addition, the effect of postaeration on the concentration of selected micropollutants such as pharmaceuticals, EOX and AOX was studied. The hydraulic retention time (HRT) of 8, 6, 4 and 2 days and different aeration intensities were tested. The TAN removal efficiency achieved was about 40-60%, sludge dewaterability expressed by sludge cake total solids (TS) concentration after dewatering improved relatively by 5-30%. In addition, TS degradation is also taking place and therefore the reduction of the amount of final sludge to be disposed could be even higher. The biggest changes in observed parameters were recorded at the longest HRT.A potential bacterium Bacillus flexus RMWW II has been isolated from rice mill effluent, and examined for its decolorizing potential for lignin-mimicking dyes. The biodegradation of alkali lignin by the rod-shaped, Gram-positive, oxidase and catalase-positive Bacillus flexus RMWW II bacteria is due to its uptake of lignin as the sole carbon source. The lignin degradation was 100% at a lignin concentration of 50 mg L-1 but the degradation reduced to 20% at 400 mg L-1. The bacterial-mediated biodegradation of alkali lignin was suitably explained by the Edward kinetics model with a maximal specific biodegradation rate (qmax) of 0.056 h-1 and true specific biodegradation rate (q*) of 0.042 h-1. The non-toxic nature of the metabolites of alkali lignin after bacterial degradation was illustrated by phytotoxicity studies. This bacterium was utilized to treat complex rice mill wastewater, as lignin is one of the major components of the effluent. A considerable reduction of 84% of chemical oxygen demand (COD) was observed in a batch reactor in 70 h of operation. The bacterial treatment results for the actual rice mill effluent indicate that Bacillus flexus RMWW II could be a promising agent for microbial remediation of lignin-laden raw rice mill wastewater.The present research focuses on investigating the relationship between spectral and chemical characteristics of water samples in Darrehzar mine. In order to reach this aim, the chemical characteristics of water were measured through pH, electrical conductivity (EC) and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) analysis. Furthermore, the visible near infrared (VNIR) and shortwave infrared (SWIR) spectra of water samples were measured by Analytical Spectral Devices (ASD) FieldSpec3 spectroradiometer and the relationships between spectral and chemical characteristics of water samples were calculated. Results of the pH and EC measurements showed that water with high acidity and EC values, which indicate the presence of acid drainage, was located inside the mine. High concentrations of copper, sulfur and iron in the samples could be related to copper mineralization and association with acid mine drainage. Results of spectroscopy revealed that second absorption feature (AF2) magnitude correlated significantly with pH (-0.599), EC (0.611) (p less then 0.1) and total trace elements plus sulfur (0.822) (p less then 0.05). The significant correlation of the AF2 magnitude with concentrations of S (0.854), Pb (0.914), Ni (0.836), Mn (0.834), Co (0.848) and AF3 with the concentration of Fe (0.886) confirms that absorption feature magnitude increases with increasing metals concentrations in water.Increases in the global population and urbanization have made people's demand for rational development and utilization of urban underground space (UUS) increasingly urgent. The underground sewage treatment plant (USTP) plays an important role in sustainable urbanization as part of the UUS. Nevertheless, problems such as high operating costs and large safety hazards still restrict the development of the USTP. In this paper we intend to summarize the current application of the USTP, reflecting the specific and novel aspects of the USTP, and also some technology drawbacks and main process update problems, providing some development suggestions. To do this, essential information on USTPs globally is simply and clearly revealed under due diligence, providing a development process for the USTP and making a prediction for its future development. Furthermore, combined with the main treatment process and ecological value analysis, we give a valid view of the good application prospects of the USTP, which provides a reference for the future construction of USTPs.Bacterial cytokinesis is mediated by the Z-ring, which is formed by the prokaryotic tubulin homolog FtsZ. Recent data indicate that the Z-ring is composed of small patches of FtsZ protofilaments that travel around the bacterial cell by treadmilling. Treadmilling involves a switch from a relaxed (R) state, favored for monomers, to a tense (T) conformation, which is favored upon association into filaments. The R conformation has been observed in numerous monomeric FtsZ crystal structures and the T conformation in Staphylococcus aureus FtsZ crystallized as assembled filaments. However, while Escherichia coli has served as a main model system for the study of the Z-ring and the associated divisome, a structure has not yet been reported for E. coli FtsZ. To address this gap, structures were determined of the E. coli FtsZ mutant FtsZ(L178E) with GDP and GTP bound to 1.35 and 1.40 Å resolution, respectively. Bcl 2 inhibitor The E. coli FtsZ(L178E) structures both crystallized as straight filaments with subunits in the R conformation.
