Abstract
Despite the negative effects that the use of pesticides (such as herbicides and insecticides) have on human health and water resources, a significant portion of the world's agricultural production depends on them. The purpose of this study was to determine selected residual concentrations of pesticides (diazinon, ethion, malathion, alachlor, methyl-parathion, trifluralin, atrazine, chlorpyrifos, and azinphos-methyl) in samples from Shiraz potable water sources. For this purpose, water treatment plant, groundwater wells, treated surface water, and a mixture of groundwater and treated surface water were taken. In addition, statistical and risk analyses (carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic) were used. According to the results, chlorpyrifos with 84.4% had the highest removal efficiency and methyl-parathion with 10% had the lowest removal rate in the Shiraz water treatment plant process. The highest mean concentration was related to azinphos-methyl (1.5 μg/L) and chlorpyrifos (0.59 μg/L) in the groundwater samples. All measured compounds in water source samples were below standard levels, except for chlorpyrifos and azinphos-methyl, which were reported in groundwater above the limit recommended by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The results showed that while the selected pesticides measured had a low non-carcinogenic risk for both adults and children, malathion and trifluralin posed a high carcinogenic risk for adults.

Abstract
Background Aquatic plants play a crucial role in nature-based wastewater treatment and provide a promising substrate for renewable energy production using anaerobic digestion (AD) technology. This study aimed to examine the contaminant removal from AD effluent by water lettuce (WL) and produce biogas from WL biomass co-digested with pig dung (PD) in a farm-scale biogas digester. Methods The first experiment used styrofoam boxes containing husbandry AD effluent. WLs were initially arranged in 50%, 25%, 12.5%, and 0% surface coverage. Each treatment was conducted in five replicates under natural conditions. In the second experiment, WL biomass was co-digested with PD into an existing anaerobic digester to examine biogas production on a farm scale. Results Over 30 days, the treatment efficiency of TSS, BOD5, COD, TKN, and TP in the effluent was 93.75-97.66%, 76.63-82.56%, 76.78-82.89%, 61.75-63.75%, and 89.00-89.57%, respectively. Higher WL coverage increased the pollutant elimination potential. The WL biomass doubled after 12 days for all treatments. In the farm-scale biogas production, the biogas yield varied between 190.6 and 292.9 L kg VSadded-1. The methane content reached over 54%. Conclusions WL removed AD effluent nutrients effectively through a phytoremediation system and generated significant biomass for renewable energy production in a farm-scale model.

Abstract
A significant portion of the solid waste filling landfills worldwide is debris from construction and demolition projects. Across the world, a significant portion of the solid waste filling landfills is made up of construction and demolition waste. Recycling construction waste may help cut down on the quantity of waste sent to landfills and the requirement for energy and other natural resources. To help with construction waste reduction, a management hierarchy that begins with rethink, reduce, redesign, refurbish, reuse, incineration, composting, recycle, and eventually disposal is likely to be effective. The objective of this research is to investigate the viability of the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) as a data gathering instrument for the development of a solid waste management assessment tool, followed by an examination of an artificial neural network (ANN). Using a standardized questionnaire, all data was gathered from waste management practitioners in three industry sectors. The survey data was subsequently analyzed using ANN and later AHP. The suggested framework consisted of four components: (1) the development of different level structures for fluffy AHP, (2) the calculation of weights, (3) the collection of data, and (4) the making of decisions. An ANN feedforward with error back propagation (EBP) learning computation is coupled to identify the association between the items and the store execution. It was found that the combination of AHP and ANN has emerged as a key decision support tool for landfilling, incineration, and composting waste management strategies, taking into account the environmental profile and economic and social characteristics of each choice. Composting has the highest sustainable performance when a balanced weight distribution of criteria is assumed, especially if the environmental component is considered in comparison to the other criteria. However, if social and economic features are addressed, incineration or landfilling have more favorable characteristics, respectively.

Abstract
A large part of the world's agricultural production, despite its adverse effects on human health and water resources, depends on the use of pesticides. Despite strict regulations, the use of pesticides continues around the world. This study aimed to determine the residual concentrations of malathion and diazinon in samples of drinking water resources. To achieve this goal, 384 samples from 8 various sites from January to December 2020 were analyzed using gas chromatography (GC) with an electron capture detector (ECD) and liquid-liquid extraction technique. Besides, statistical analysis and a risk-modeling approach supported by an automatic Monte-Carlo procedure were applied. The results showed that there is a high carcinogenic risk regarding malathion and that the low age population is at the most non-carcinogenic risk regarding diazinon.

Abstract
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are environmentally recalcitrant contaminants formed from naturally or incomplete combustion of organic materials and some of them are difficult to degrade due to their hydrophobicity and persistency. Benzo [a]pyrene (BaP), is one of PAHs that having five fused benzene and reported as mutagenic, carcinogenic and teratogenic compounds. Biodegradation is one of promising techniques due to its relatively low economic cost and microorganism is a natural capacity to consume hydrocarbons. In this investigation, Pleurotus eryngii F032 was grown in 20 mL of modified mineral salt broth (MSB) supplemented with BaP under static and agitated culture. Within 20 days, static culture removed 59% of BaP, whereas agitated culture removed the highest amount (73%). To expedite BaP elimination, the mechanism and behavior of BaP biosorption and biotransformation by Pleurotus eryngii F032 were additionally examined by gas chromatography-mass spectrometer (GC-MS). The optimal conditions for P. eryngii F032 to eliminate BaP were 25 °C, a C/N ratio of 8, pH 3 and 0.2% inoculum concentration. At an initial BaP content of 10 mg/L, more than 50% was effectively eliminated within 20 days under these conditions. Salinity, glucose, and rhamnolipids were the most important factors impacting BaP biodegradation. GC-MS found degradation products such as BaP-3,6-quinone, indicating plausible metabolic routes. Finally, it may be assumed that the primary mechanism by which white-rot fungi eliminate BaP is by the utilization of biotransformation enzymes such as laccase to mineralize the PAHs. Hence, Pleurotus eryngii F032 could be an ideal candidate to treat PAHs contaminated soils.

Abstract
Biofilm-forming bacteria adhere to the substrates and engage in the nutrient cycling process. However, environmental conditions may interrupt the biofilm formation ability, which ultimately may affect various biogeochemical cycles. The present study reports the effect of varying pH and subsequent change in pCO2 on the survivability, biofilm formation, and synthesis of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) of a biofilm-forming marine bacterium Bacillus stercoris GST-03 isolated from the Bhitarkanika mangrove ecosystem, Odisha, India. Understanding the pH-dependent alteration in EPS constituents, and associated functional groups of a marine bacterium will provide better insight into the adaptability of the bacteria in future ocean acidification scenarios. The strain was found to tolerate and form biofilm up to pH 4, with the maximum biofilm formation at pH 6. EPS yield and the synthesis of the key components of the EPS, including carbohydrate, protein, and lipid, were found maximum at pH 6. Changes in biofilm formation patterns and various topological parameters at varying pH/pCO2 conditions were observed. A cellular chaining pattern was observed at pH 4, and maximum biofilm formation was obtained at pH 6 with biomass of 5.28582 ± 0.5372 μm3/μm2 and thickness of 9.982 ± 1.5288 μm. Structural characterization of EPS showed changes in various functional groups of constituent macromolecules with varying pH. The amorphous nature of the EPS and the changes in linkages and associated functional groups (-R2CHOR, -CH3, and -CH2) with pH variation was confirmed. EPS showed a two-step degradation with a maximum weight loss of 59.147% and thermal stability up to 480 °C at pH 6. The present work efficiently demonstrates the role of EPS in providing structural and functional stability to the biofilm in varying pH conditions. The findings will provide a better understanding of the adaptability of marine bacteria in the future effect of ocean acidification.

Bacterial Communities Associated with Crude Oil Bioremediation through Composting Approaches with Indigenous Bacterial Isolate. Life (Basel) 2022; 12:life12111712.

Abstract
In this study, we aim to investigate the efficiency of crude oil bioremediation through composting and culture-assisted composting. First, forty-eight bacteria were isolated from a crude oil-contaminated soil, and the isolate with the highest crude oil degradation activity, identified as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, was selected. The bioremediation was then investigated and compared between crude oil-contaminated soil (S), the contaminated soil composted with fruit-based waste (SW), and the contaminated soil composted with the same waste with the addition of the selected bacterium (SWB). Both compost-based methods showed high efficiencies of crude oil bioremediation (78.1% and 83.84% for SW and SWB, respectively). However, only a slight difference between the treatments without and with the addition of P. aeruginosa was observed. To make a clear understanding of this point, bacterial communities throughout the 4-week bioremediation period were analyzed. It was found that the community dynamics between both composted treatments were similar, which corresponds with their similar bioremediation efficiencies. Interestingly, Pseudomonas disappeared from the system after one week, which suggests that this genus was not the key degrader or only involved in the early stage of the process. Altogether, our results elaborate that fruit-based composting is an effective approach for crude oil bioremediation.

Abstract
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) pollution occurs in freshwater and marine environment by anthropogenic activities. Moreover, analysis of the PAHs-degradation by the indigenous bacterial strains is limited, compared with other degraders. In this study, naphthalene (NAP) biodegrading bacteria were screened by enrichment culture method. Three bacterial strains were obtained for NAP degradation and identified as Bacillus cereus CK1, Pseudomonas aeruginosa KD4 and Enterobacter aerogenes SR6. The amount of hydrogen, carbon, sulphur and nitrogen of wastewater were analyzed. Total bacterial count increased at increasing incubation time (6-60 days) and moderately decreased at higher NAP concentrations. The bacterial population increased after 48 days at 250 ppm NAP (519 ± 15.3 MPM/mL) concentration and this level increased at 500 ppm NAP concentration (541 ± 12.5 MPM/mL). NAP was degraded by bacterial consortium within 36 h-99% at 30 °C. PAHs degrading bacteria were grown optimally at 4% inoculum concentrations. Bacterial consortium was able to degrade 98% NAP at pH 7.0 after 36 h incubation and degradation potential was improved (100%) after 34 h (pH 8.0). Also at pH 9.0, 100% biodegradation was registered after 36 h incubation. When the agitation speed enhanced from 50 ppm to 150 ppm, increased bacteria growth and increased NAP degradation within 42 h incubation. Among the nutrient sources, beef extract, peptone and glucose supplemented medium supported complete degradation of PAHs within 30 h, whereas peptone supported 94.3% degradation at this time. Glucose supplemented medium showed only 2.8% NAP degradation after 6 h incubation and reached maximum (100%) within 42 h incubation. Bacterial consortium can be used to reduce NAP under optimal process conditions and this method can be used for the removal of various hydrocarbon-compounds.

Abstract
There is a growing interest in the development and use of natural emulsifiers, which provide biodegradability as well as non-toxicity along with giving better performance compared to existing emulsifying agents used in the food industry. A large variety of sources of starting material, i.e., the microorganisms, are available to be used, hence giving a diverse range of applications. The focus of this review paper is on the production of bioemulsifiers, which are said to be "green surfactants", from fungi, bacteria and yeasts; furthermore, an overview pertaining to the knowledge gained over the years in terms of characterization techniques is reported. The methods used for the characterization and isolation such as TLC, GC-MS, HPLC, NMR have also been studied. The end-application products such as cookies, muffins, and doughs along with the methods used for the incorporation of bioemulsifiers, microorganisms from which they are derived, properties imparted to the product with the use of a particular bioemulsifier and comparison with the existing food grade emulsifiers has been discussed in detail. The future prospects indicate that newer bioemulsifiers with anti-microbial, anti-oxidant and stabilization properties will prove to have a larger impact, and emphasis will be on improving the performance at an economically viable methodology.
