Abstract
Saline and alkaline stresses limit plant growth and reduce crop yield. Soil salinization and alkalization seriously threaten the sustainable development of agriculture and the virtuous cycle of ecology. Biofertilizers made from plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) not only enhance plant growth and stress tolerance, but also are environmentally friendly and cost-effective. There have been many studies on the mechanisms underlying PGPRs enhancing plant salt resistance. However, there is limited knowledge about the interaction between PGPR and plants under alkaline-sodic stress. To clarify the mechanisms underlying PGPR's improvement of plants' tolerance to alkaline-sodic stress, we screened PGPR from the rhizosphere microorganisms of local plants growing in alkaline-sodic land and selected an efficient strain, Bacillus altitudinis AD13-4, as the research object. Our results indicate that the strain AD13-4 can produce various growth-promoting substances to regulate plant endogenous hormone levels, cell division and differentiation, photosynthesis, antioxidant capacity, etc. Transcriptome analysis revealed that the strain AD13-4 significantly affected metabolism and secondary metabolism, signal transduction, photosynthesis, redox processes, and plant-pathogen interactions. Under alkaline-sodic conditions, inoculation of the strain AD13-4 significantly improved plant biomass and the contents of metabolites (e.g., soluble proteins and sugars) as well as secondary metabolites (e.g., phenols, flavonoids, and terpenoids). The 16S rRNA gene sequencing results indicated that the strain AD13-4 significantly affected the abundance and composition of the rhizospheric microbiota and improved soil activities and physiochemical properties. Our study provides theoretical support for the optimization of saline-alkali-tolerant PGPR and valuable information for elucidating the mechanism of plant alkaline-sodic tolerance.

Abstract
To improve the sludge conditioning efficiency without increasing the ozone dose, an in-situ sludge reduction process based on Mn2+-catalytic ozonation conditioning was proposed. Using ozone conditioning alone as a control, a lab-scale sequencing batch reactor coupled with ozonated sludge recycle was evaluated for its operating performance at an ozone dose of 75 mg O3/g VSS and 1.5 mmol/L Mn2+ addition. The results showed a 39.4% reduction in MLSS and an observed sludge yield of 0.236 kg MLSS/kg COD for the O3+Mn2+ group compared to the O3 group (15.3% and 0.292 kg MLSS/kg COD), accompanied by better COD, NH4+-N, TN and TP removal, improved effluent SS and limited impact on excess sludge properties. Subsequently, activity tests, BIOLOG ECO microplates and 16S rRNA sequencing were applied to elucidate the changing mechanisms of Mn2+-catalytic ozonation related to microbial action: (1) Dehydrogenase activity reached a higher peak. (2) Microbial utilization of total carbon sources had an elevated effect, up to approximately 18%, and metabolic levels of six carbon sources were also increased, especially for sugars and amino acids most pronounced. (3) The abundance of Defluviicoccus under the phylum Proteobacteria was enhanced to 12.0% and dominated in the sludge, they had strong hydrolytic activity and metabolic capacity. Denitrifying bacteria of the genus Ferruginibacter also showed an abundance of 7.6%, they contributed to the solubilization and reduction of sludge biomass. These results could guide researchers to further reduce ozonation conditioning costs, improve sludge management and provide theoretical support.

Abstract
A Gram-stain-negative, non-spore-forming and rod-shaped bacterium, designated strain NS-102T, was isolated from herbicide-contaminated soil sampled in Nanjing, PR China, and its taxonomic status was investigated by a polyphasic approach. Cell growth of strain NS-102T occurred at 16–42 °C (optimum, 30 °C), at pH 5.0–8.0 (optimum, pH 6.0) and in the presence of 0–3.5 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum, without addition of NaCl). The 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain NS-102T shows high similarity to that of
Agriterribacter humi
YJ03T (96.9 % similarity), followed by
Terrimonas terrae
T16R-129T (93.8 %) and
Terrimonas pekingensis
QHT (93.6 %). Average nucleotide identity, average amino acid identity and digital DNA–DNA hybridization values between the draft genomes of strain NS-102T and
A. humi
YJ03T were 72.5, 69.4 and 18.6%, respectively. The only respiratory quinone was MK-7, and phosphatidylethanolamine and unidentified lipids were the major polar lipids. The major cellular fatty acids of strain NS-102T contained high amounts of iso-C15 : 0 (24.6 %), iso-C17 : 03-OH (24.1 %), iso-C15 : 0 G (16.6 %) and summed feature 3 (C16 : 1
ω6c and/or C16 : 1
ω7c) (15.6 %). The G+C content of the total DNA was determined to be 40.0 mol%. The morphological, physiological, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic analyses clearly distinguished this strain from its closest phylogenetic neighbours. Thus, strain NS-102T represents a novel species of the genus
Agriterribacter
, for which the name Agriterribacter soli sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is NS-102T (=CCTCC AB 2017249T=KCTC 62322T).

Exploratory analysis of the microbial community profile of the municipal solid waste leachate treatment system: A case study. WASTE MANAGEMENT (NEW YORK, N.Y.) 2022; 141:125-135.

Abstract
Studies on the degradation dynamics of landfill leachate indicate that the microbial community profile is a valuable and sensitive tool for landfill monitoring programs. Although knowledge about the microbial community can improve the efficiency of leachate treatment systems, little is known about the microbial profile changes that occur throughout the leachate attenuation process. In the present work, an exploratory analysis of the microbial community profile of the MSW leachate treatment system in the municipality of Osório (Brazil) was conducted. In this way, a comprehensive analysis of chemical parameters, isotopic signature and microbial profile data were applied to monitor the changes in the structure of the microbial community throughout the leachate attenuation process and to describe the relationship between the microbial community structure and the attenuation of chemical and isotopic parameters. From data analysis, it was possible to assess the microbial community structure and relate it to the attenuation of chemical and isotopic parameters. Based on massive parallel 16S rRNA gene sequencing, it was possible to observe that each leachate treatment unit has a specific microbial consortium, reflecting the adaptation of different microorganisms to changes in leachate characteristics throughout treatment. From our results, we concluded that the structure of the microbial community is sensitive to the leachate composition and can be applied to study the municipal solid waste management system.

Abstract
Emerging pollutants (EPs) create a worldwide concern owing to their low concentration and severe toxicity to the receptors. The prominent emerging pollutants categories as pharmaceutical and personal care product, plasticizer, surfactants, and persistent organic pollutants. Typically, EPs are widely disseminated in the aquatic ecosystem and capable of perturbing the physiology of water bodies as well as humans. The primary sources of EPs in the environment include anthropogenic release, atmospheric deposition, untreated or substandard treated wastewater, and extreme weather events. Intensive research has been done covering the environmental distribution, ecological disturbance, fate, and removal of EPs in the past decades. However, a systematic review on the distribution of EPs in the engineered and natural aquatic environment and the degradation of different EPs by using anaerobic sludge, aerobic bacteria, and isolated strains are limited. This review article aims to highlight the importance, application, and future perceptions of using different microbes to degrade EPs. Overall, this review article illustrates the superiority of using non-cultivable and cultivable microbes to degrade the EPs as an eco-friendly approach. Practically, the outcomes of this review paper will build up the knowledge base solutions to remove EPs from the wastewater.

Abstract
Malodor emission has become one of the major challenges in animal husbandry. Skatole, one of the most offensive odorous compounds, can cause several diseases to organisms and is resistant to biodegradation. However, the microbial community information for skatole degradation has yet to be reported. In this study, the aerobic sequencing batch reactors with two different inocula were constructed. Both Group N (sample from cattle house) and Group E (sample from goose house) could efficiently degrade skatole after 70 days operation under conditions of pH 7.0-9.0 and temperature 20-40 °C. High-throughput sequencing results showed that the α-diversity in Group N was higher than that in Group E, while neither of them changed during the whole operation process. Bacterial community structures in both groups shifted. Generally, Lactococcus, Pseudomonas and Flavobacterium remarkably reduced, while Arthrobacter became the dominant population. Function prediction results indicated that the xenobiotics biodegradation and metabolism category was significantly up-regulated in Group E but remained unchanged in Group N. On the other hand, culture-dependent technique was applied and ten bacteria were obtained from the sludges. Two strains belonged to Rhodococcus, a minor genus in the communities, were firstly proven to harbor excellent skatole-degrading capacity. This study proved that skatole could be effectively removed by activated sludges, and the non-core bacteria Rhodococcus would be functionally important in the degradation process. These findings provide new insights into our understanding of skatole biotransformation process, and offer valuable bacterial resources for bioremediation application.

Abstract
Enhancing the biodegradation efficiency of atrazine, a kind of commonly applied herbicide, has been attracted much more concern. Here, Zn2+ which has long been considered essential in adjusting cell physiological status was selected to investigate its role on the biodegradation of atrazine by Arthrobacter sp. DNS10 as well as the transmembrane transport of atrazine during the biodegradation period. The results of gas chromatography showed that the atrazine removal percentages (initial concentration was 100 mg L-1) in 0.05 mM Zn2+ and 1.0 mM Zn2+ treatments were 94.42% and 86.02% respectively at 48 h, while there was also 66.43% of atrazine left in the treatment without exogenous Zn2+ existence. The expression of atrazine chlorohydrolase gene trzN in the strain DNS10 cultured with 0.05 mM and 1.0 mM Zn2+ was 7.30- and 4.67- times respectively compared with that of the non-zinc treatment. In addition, the flow cytometry test suggests that 0.05 mM of Zn2+ could better adjust the membrane permeability of strain DNS10, meanwhile, the amount of atrazine accumulation in the strain DNS10 co-cultured with this level Zn2+ was 2.21 times of that of the strain without Zn2+. This study may facilitate a better understanding of the mechanisms that exogenous Zn2+ enhances the biodegradation of atrazine by Arthrobacter sp. DNS10.
