Abstract
The release of emerging contaminants (ECs) into aquatic environments poses a significant risk to global water security. Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs), while effective in removing ECs, are often resource and energy-intensive. Here, we introduce a novel catalyst, CoFe quantum dots embedded in graphene nanowires (CoFeQds@GN-Nws), synthesized through anaerobic polymerization. It uniquely features electron-rich and electron-poor micro-regions on its surface, enabling a self-purification mechanism in wastewater. This is achieved by harnessing the internal energy of wastewater, particularly the bonding energy of pollutants and dissolved oxygen (DO). It demonstrates exceptional efficiency in removing ECs at ambient temperature and pressure without the need for external oxidants, achieving a removal rate of nearly 100.0%. The catalyst's structure-activity relationship reveals that CoFe quantum dots facilitate an unbalanced electron distribution, forming these micro-regions. This leads to a continuous electron-donation effect, where pollutants are effectively cleaved or oxidized. Concurrently, DO is activated into superoxide anions (O2•-), synergistically aiding in pollutant removal. This approach reduces resource and energy demands typically associated with AOPs, marking a sustainable advancement in wastewater treatment technologies.

Abstract
Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), a versatile medium, is a particular component in the marine atmosphere that possibly causes polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) to degrade differently than they do in the continental atmosphere. In this study, phenanthrene (Phe) was used as a model PAH in batch photochemical experiments to investigate the chemical actions of DMSO and the underlying mechanisms. The photodegradation of Phe in aqueous solutions with DMSO volume fractions from 0 % to 100 % was initiated by ultraviolet (UV) radiation and promoted by singlet oxygen, which was consistent with pseudo-first-order kinetics. Phe photodegraded faster in a mixture of DMSO and water than in water or DMSO alone, and the rate constant showed a unimodal distribution over the DMSO fraction range, peaking at 33 % DMSO (0.0333 ± 0.0009 min-1) and 40 % DMSO (0.0199 ± 0.0005 min-1) under 254 nm and 302 nm UV radiation, respectively. This interesting phenomenon was attributed to the competition of DMSO for UV radiation and singlet oxygen and changes in dissolved oxygen and free water contents caused by the interaction between DMSO and water molecules. In addition, 9,10-phenanthrenequinone (9,10-PhQ) with high cytotoxicity was the main photodegradation product of Phe under various conditions. The photodegradation rate of Phe in the mixtures of DMSO and water was comparable to its reaction rate with OH radicals, suggesting that 9,10-PhQ can be rapidly generated in the marine atmosphere, driven by a mechanism different from that in the continental or urban atmosphere. Under the presented experimental conditions, UV intensity and DMSO fraction were the primary factors that affected the photodegradation rate of Phe and 9,10-PhQ and altered their integrated toxicity. The findings of this study support the conclusion that the marine atmosphere is an essential field in the atmospheric transport of PAHs, in which DMSO is an important component that affects their photodegradation.

Abstract
This study focuses on nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions during hypersaline (4 % salinity) nitritation in continuously fed and mixed fixed bed reactors. In the presence of high concentrations of nitrite and ammonium, the percent yield of N2O emissions from ammonium removed decreased with increasing dissolved oxygen (DO). However, N2O production continued even at a high DO of 15 mg/L. Bulk ammonium concentration (not ammonia) was found to be the main controlling factor for N2O emissions under high and low DO during both nitritation and nitrification. Reducing bulk ammonium concentrations below 1 mg N/L in the nitritation reactor under both high and low DO conditions resulted in a reduction of N2O emissions of approximately 90 %. Under full nitrification and low DO, reducing nitrite concentrations below 0.3 mg N/L resulted in a 60 % reduction in N2O emissions. Similar results were observed in a low salinity reactor.

Abstract
A hypoxia occurred in eutrophic estuary was predicted using long short-term memory (LSTM) model with prediction time steps (PTSs) of 0, 1, 12, and 24 h. A capacitive potential (CP), which provides quantitative information on dissolved oxygen (DO) concentration, was used as a predictor along with precipitation, tide level, salinity, and water temperature. First, annual changes in DO concentration were clustered in three phases of annual DO trends (oversaturation, depletion, and stable) using k-means clustering. CP was the most influential variable in clustering the DO phases. The LSTM was implemented to predict the DO phases and hypoxia occurrences. In the simultaneous prediction of the depletion phase and hypoxia occurrence with a 12 h PTS, the accuracy was 92.1% using CP along with other variables; it was 3.3% higher than that achieved using variables other than CP. In the case of predicting the depletion phase and hypoxia non-occurrence using CP along with other variables, the accuracy was 61.1%, which was 5.5% higher than that when CP was not used. When using CP along with other variables, the total accuracy was highest for all PTS. Overall, the utilization of CP and machine learning techniques enables accurate predictions of both short-term and long-term hypoxia occurrences, providing us with the opportunity to proactively respond to disasters in aquaculture and environmental management due to hypoxia.

Abstract
Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary (OCNMS), which was established in 1994 and covers an area of 8257 km2, is located along Washington State's remote and rugged outer coast towards the northernmost extent of the California Current System (CCS). In this region, summertime equatorward winds drive seasonal upwelling of cold, nutrient rich waters onto the continental shelf. These waters help fuel a highly diverse and productive ecosystem that includes marine mammal and seabird communities as well as commercially and culturally important fisheries. The sanctuary is located within the boundaries of the legally defined Usual and Accustomed (U&A) fishing grounds of four Coastal Treaty Tribes, the Hoh Tribe, Makah Tribe, Quileute Tribe, and the Quinault Indian Nation, which hold treaty fishing rights and co-manage fisheries and other natural resources within the sanctuary through state, federal, and international partnerships and agreements. This data article describes shipboard hydrographic Conductivity-Temperature-Depth (CTD) and dissolved oxygen profile data that were collected within the sanctuary at fourteen locations during mooring deployment, recovery, and maintenance cruises between the months of May and October from 2005-2023. The 792 CTD profiles were acquired using Sea-Bird Scientific 19 SeaCAT or 19plus SeaCAT CTD profilers with associated SBE-43 (Sea-Bird Electronics) or Beckman or YSI-type (Yellow Springs Instruments) dissolved oxygen sensors. The data were processed using Sea-Bird Scientific's SBE Data Processing application. These data are needed for improving our understanding of subsurface oceanographic conditions - including marine heat waves, changes in timing of spring transition to upwelling, seasonal hypoxia, and ocean acidification - in this important but undersampled region, and can be used to help improve the management of marine resources regionally and within the sanctuary. The CTD cast data are available via Zenodo at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.10466124.

Abstract
The dissolved oxygen (DO) and ammonia are crucial to the growth of Chinese perch (Siniperca chuatsi). Information on the effects of DO and total ammonia nitrogen (TAN) in regulating ammonia nitrogen excretion and flesh quality in Chinese perch is scanty. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of dissolved DO at oxygen levels of 3 mg/L and 9 mg/L, as well as the TAN concentrations of 0.3 mg/L and 0.9 mg/L on ammonia excretion and flesh quality. Results showed that the ammonia contents in plasma, muscle, and liver of the 9 mg/L DO group were significantly higher than those of the 3 mg/L DO group (P < 0.05). However, the expression of AMPK-related signaling pathway genes (gdh, lkb1, and ampd) and flesh quality indicators (gumminess, chewiness, hardness) in the 9 mg/L DO group were significantly lower than those in the 3 mg/L DO group. Under long-term exposure to 0.9 mg/L TAN, the ammonia contents in plasma and gill filaments, as well as muscle flesh quality (resilience, gumminess, chewiness, cohesiveness), were significantly lower than those in the 0.3 mg/L TAN group (P < 0.05). However, the activities of GDH and AMPD enzymes in the 0.9 mg/L TAN group were significantly higher than those in the 0.3 mg/L TAN group. In summary, when fish are exposed to 3 mg/L DO and 0.9 mg/L TAN in the environment for a long time, their amino acids are used for transamination and deamination, resulting in insufficient energy supply for Chinese perch, whereas 9 mg/L DO and 0.9 mg/L TAN caused deterioration of the flesh quality.

Abstract
Dissolved oxygen is one of the important comprehensive indicators of river water quality, which reflects the degree of pollution in the water body. Monitoring and predicting dissolved oxygen are an important tool for water quality management, which helps to effectively maintain water ecological balance and prevent environmental problems. A single model cannot describe the dynamic characteristics of dissolved oxygen sequence, which affects the prediction accuracy. In order to obtain more accurate dissolved oxygen prediction results, decomposition techniques are commonly used to extract the main fluctuations and trends of water quality sequences. However, the high-frequency modes obtained from decomposition are still unstable. To solve this problem, this paper proposed a hybrid prediction model of dissolved oxygen concentration based on secondary decomposition and bidirectional gate recurrent unit. Firstly, dissolved oxygen sequence is preliminarily decomposed by complete ensemble empirical mode decomposition with adaptive noise (CEEMDAN) and obtain several intrinsic mode functions (IMF). The fuzzy entropy (FE) is calculated to quantify the complexity of the IMF. Then, variational mode decomposition improved by northern goshawk optimization is used to decompose the IMF with higher entropy. The nonlinearity and instability of the sequence are further weakened. Finally, the bidirectional gate recurrent unit (BiGRU) neural network is used to predict each IMF component, and the final prediction result is obtained by reconstructing the prediction results of each component. In order to verify the effectiveness of the proposed model, this paper selects the dissolved oxygen data of Xin'anjiang Reservoir as the research object. The experimental results show that the RMSE, MAE, MAPE, and R2 of the proposed model are 0.1164, 0.0894, 1.0403%, and 0.9939, respectively, which is best among other comparative prediction models (BP, LSTM, GRU, BiGRU, EMD-BiGRU, CEEMDAN-BiGRU, VMD-BiGRU, and GNO-VMD-BiGRU). Therefore, this model effectively deals with high volatility and nonlinear dissolved oxygen data and provides reference for water environment management and ecological protection.

Abstract
MnOx deposits in distribution pipes can cause severe discoloration problems in drinking water. However, the impact of pipe materials on Mn(II) oxidation and MnOx accumulation remains unclear. This study investigated microbial-mediated Mn(II) oxidation and deposit formation through 300-day pipe loop experiments with corroded galvanized steel pipes (DN100) and new polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipes (DN100). The results showed that influent Mn(II) was entirely oxidized within 48 h in the PVC pipes with biofilms in the absence of chlorine, while most influent Mn(II) remained unoxidized in the iron pipes. Dissolved oxygen (DO) monitoring showed that the DO in the PVC pipes was consistently higher than 8.0 mg/L, but that in the iron pipes dropped to 6.5 mg/L. Microbial analysis revealed that the abundance of potential Mn(II)-oxidizing bacteria in the low-DO iron pipes was less than that in the PVC pipes. Analysis of the Mn(II) concentration dynamics in different pipes revealed that the early Mn(II) disappearance in the iron pipes was contributed mainly to Mn(II) adsorption by iron corrosion products rather than microbial Mn(II) oxidation. When aeration was performed to increase the DO concentration to 8.0 mg/L in the iron pipes, complete Mn(II) oxidation occurred. This study provides insights into Mn(II) transformation in different pipes and highlights the critical role of DO in microbial Mn(II) oxidation in drinking water pipes.

Abstract
Accurate prediction of dissolved oxygen (DO) dynamics is crucial for understanding the influence of environmental factors on the stability of aquatic ecosystem. However, limited research has been conducted to determine the optimal frequency of water quality monitoring that ensures continuous assessment of water health while minimizing costs. To address these challenges, the present study developed a hybrid stochastic hydrological model (i.e., ARIMA-GARCH hybrid model) and machine learning (ML) models. The objective of this study is to identify the best-performing model and establish the optimal monitoring frequency. Results revealed that high-frequency DO monitoring data exhibit greater variability compared to low-frequency data. Moreover, the ARIMA-GARCH model demonstrates promising potential in predicting DO concentrations for low-frequency monitoring data, surpassing ML models in performance. Furthermore, increasing the monitoring frequency significantly improves the prediction accuracy of models, regardless of whether point (with lower R2 values of 0.64 and 0.51 for daily detection than these of every 15 min (0.96 and 0.99) at CHQ and LHT, respectively) or interval predictions (with RIW higher values of 2.00 and 1.55 for daily detection higher than these of 0.02 and 0.16 in every 15 min at CHQ and LHT, respectively) are considered. Additionally, a 4 hourly monitoring frequency was found to be optimal for water quality assessment using each model. These findings identify the superior performing of the ARIMA-GARCH model and highlight the crucial role of monitoring frequency in enhancing DO prediction and improving model performance.

Abstract
Understanding the long-term variations in basins that undergo large-scale hydroelectric projects is crucial for effective dam operation and watershed management. In this study, comprehensive analyses were conducted on a dataset spanning over 20 years (1998-2018) of hydrological regime and physicochemical parameters from the Yangtze River basin to evaluate the potential impacts of the Three Gorges Dam. Water level significantly increased from 128.75±58.18 m in 2002 to 136.78±55.05 m in 2005, and the mean flow velocity significantly decreased from 2004 to 2010. However, no significant change in the flow was observed in the basin. Meanwhile, remarkable fluctuations in physicochemical parameters, including dissolved oxygen, chemical oxygen demand, conductivity, hardness, and alkalinity, were mainly observed during impoundment (2003-2009). After that, the above parameters tended to stabilize, and some even returned to their original levels. The dam's retention effect significantly reduced the suspended solids (SS) in both up- and downstream, to only one-third of the pre-operation level. And total phosphorus and chemical oxygen demand also significantly decreased with the decline of SS. Particularly, ammonium also showed a significant downward trend, with the up- and downstream of the dam falling by 36.8 % and 26.1 %, respectively. However, the increasing total nitrogen (7.5 % and 20.0 % up- and downstream of the dam, respectively) still threatened the water quality of the basin, especially in the estuaries. Additionally, the significant decline in dissolved oxygen downstream (from 8.53±1.08 mg/L to 8.11±1.36 mg/L) also exacerbated the hypoxia in the Yangtze River estuary. The results demonstrated the long-term impact of the construction of the Three Gorges Dam on the environmental elements of the Yangtze River basin, which provides reference data and guidance for the construction of big dams in major rivers in the future.

Abstract
Anaerobic ammonia oxidation (ANAMMOX), a sustainable biological process, is promising to remove NH4+-N from municipal sewage. In this study, results showed that the anammox granular sludge morphology changes with the alternation of dissolved oxygen (DO), mainly attributing to the adhesion of calcium ions (Ca2+) to the surface of sludge particles. Diverse characterization methods revealed that gray adhesions in the form of hydroxyapatite covered the original holes on the anammox granular sludge surface, including scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), digital camera images, Energy Dispersive Spectrometer (EDS), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Ex-situ degradation of NH4+-N and NO2--N yielded diverse outcomes. The protein to polysaccharide ratio (PN/PS) in the total extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) across 4 size groups demonstrated a decrease under O2 exposure. Microbial community analysis indicated norank_f_A4b and Nitrolancea being the most abundant genus under O2 exposure at day 1 and day 100, respectively. These findings offer an effective strategy to prevent size-larger granular sludge from deteriorating through changing DO and Ca2+ in municipal wastewater in ANAMMOX.

Abstract
The blood clam (Tegillarca granosa), a marine bivalve of ecological and economic significance, often encounters intermittent hypoxia in mudflats and aquatic environments. To study the response of blood clam foot to prolonged intermittent hypoxia, the clams were exposed to intermittent hypoxia conditions (0.5 mg/L dissolved oxygen, with a 12-h interval) for 31 days. Initially, transcriptomic analysis was performed, uncovering a total of 698 differentially expressed genes (DEGs), with 236 upregulated and 462 downregulated. These genes show enrichments in signaling pathways related to glucose metabolism, sugar synthesis and responses to oxidative stress. Furthermore, the activity of the enzyme glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and the levels of gpx1 mRNA showed gradual increases, reaching their peak on the 13th day of intermittent hypoxia exposure. This observation suggests an indirect protective role of GPx against oxidative stress. The results of this study make a significantly contribute to our broader comprehensive of the physiological, biochemical responses, and molecular reactions governing the organization of foot muscle tissue in marine bivalves exposed to prolonged intermittent hypoxic conditions.

Abstract
This work aimed to evaluate the effect of medium composition and volumetric oxygen transfer coefficient (kLa) on Y. lipolytica growth and production of microbial lipids and enzymes from hexadecane. In the stirred tank bioreactor, increasing kLa from 11 h-1 to 132 h-1 improved the hexadecane assimilation rate, biomass concentration, and lipids synthesis (0.90 g·L-1). A cost-effective hexadecane-based medium supplemented with corn steep liquor and a low amount of ammonium sulfate boosted lipids production up to 2.1 g·L-1, composed of palmitic, palmitoleic, oleic, and linoleic acids. The unsaturated/saturated fraction was dependent on the C/N ratio. Lipids of Y. lipolytica CBS 2075 are promising feedstock for animal feed, food additives, or the biodiesel industry. Simultaneous synthesis of extracellular lipase and protease from hexadecane was observed, which is a new feature that was not previously reported. The highest enzyme activity was obtained at the highest C/N ratio conditions. These results open new perspectives on the application of Y. lipolytica-based cultures for the biotransformation of hexadecane-polluted streams into valuable compounds, fulfilling an interesting strategy towards the circular economy concept.

Abstract
River water quality management is a tedious job as it comprises multiple variables. The River Yamuna, Delhi's urban reach, is highly contaminated with very low or zero freshwater flow during the non-monsoon periods. The river quality has been appraised for pre- and post-monsoon periods of 10 years of data collected from the Delhi Pollution Control Council (DPCC). A sharp declination of dissolved oxygen and acceleration of BOD have been observed after the outfalling of drain 1. The wastewater treatment plants data for 2020-2022 have been analyzed, and the removal efficiencies of BOD and COD were found between 65 and 94%. The BIOFORE technology has shown maximum removal efficiencies, around 94% and 89% for BOD and COD, respectively. The level of treatment has been evaluated by developing a water quality model with the existing QUAL2kw framework. Twelve strategies have been generated for four levels of treatment and three different flow conditions. The severely polluted reach of Yamuna has low self-purification capacity; flow augmentation has little effect on the existing load. Hence, the level of treatment required to increase. After the introduction of outfalling drain D13-D16, a sag of DO has been observed; to improve the DO concentration, external aeration is suggested before wastewater disposal into the river. The study is a novel effort to manage the river quality by developing scenarios, including the level of treatments and flow augmentation, and keeping up the desired DO concentration assigned for this river reach.

Abstract
In aquatic ecosystems, light penetrating the sediment surface in shallow lakes may regulate the internal phosphorus (P) release through benthic primary production, which subsequently affects oxidation, pH levels, and alkaline phosphatase activity in the upper sediment. To study the effects of light exposure on the P dynamics at the sediment-water interface under eutrophic conditions, a two-month mesocosm experiment was conducted in twelve cement tanks (1000 L each). The tanks were equipped with Light-Emitting Diode (LED) lights, and surface sediments collected from eutrophic Lake Nanhu (China) were exposed to four different light intensities (0, 50, 100, 200 μmol m-2 s-1). The results revealed that: 1) Both the total phosphorus concentration and the phosphorus release flux from the sediment were lower in the light treatments (mean value, 0.59-0.71 mg L-1 and 0.00-0.01 mg m-2 d-1, respectively) than in the control treatment (0.77 mg L-1 and 0.01 mg m-2 d-1, respectively), indicating that light supplement could decrease the internal P release. 2) Benthic primary production promoted by light directly absorbed soluble reactive phosphorus and decreased the internal P release. The resulting improved production could also increase dissolved oxygen concentrations at the sediment-water interface, thus indirectly inhibiting internal P release. 3) The relative contributions of direct absorption and indirect inhibition on the internal P release ranged between 23% to 69% and 31% to 77% depending on the light intensity.

Abstract
Metalimnetic oxygen minimum (MOM) is a frequent occurrence in lakes and reservoirs, and its formation is related to the blooming and apoptosis of algae. In this study, the apoptosis mechanism of Chlorella vulgaris (C. vulgaris) and the release of intracellular organic matter (IOM) under different MOM conditions were analyzed by changing the dissolved oxygen (DO) (7.0 mg/L, 3.0 mg/L, and 0.3 mg/L) and water pressure (0.3 MPa and normal pressure). The integrity and auto-fluorescence of algae cells decreased rapidly in the first 8 days, and then stabilized gradually during the development of MOM. Compared with that of water pressures, DO had a significant effect on the activity of algal cells, and higher initial DO levels (3.0 mg/L and 7.0 mg/L) accelerated the lysis of algal cells. The integrity of algae cells decreased to 28.8 %, 31.8 % and 56.6 % at the initial DO of 7 mg/L, 3 mg/L and 0.3 mg/L under 0.3 MPa, respectively. Meanwhile, the concentration of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) continued to increase and reached their maximum at 8 or 12 days, respectively, due to the IOM release caused by algal cell rupture, and then gradually decreased due to microbial degradation. Consistent with the results of membrane integrity, the highest DOC and DON concentrations were found at higher initial DO conditions. By parallel factor analysis, the change in total organic matter fluorescence intensity was consistent with DOC, once again increasing in the first 8 days and then gradually decreasing. The increased humic-like component, which is related to higher aromaticity, led to the monotonic increase of HAAFPs and THMFPs. However, the released IOM of C. vulgaris had lower N-DBPFPs, with TCNMFP predominating primarily. In summary, these results shed new lights on exploring the apoptosis of algae and the release of IOM during the development of MOM.

Abstract
Acidification and deoxygenation are major threats to ocean environments. Despite the possibilities of their co-occurrence, little is known about their interactive effects on marine organisms. The effects of low pH and low dissolved oxygen (DO) on the early life stages of the coastal fish Sillago japonica were investigated. Twenty-five experimental treatments fully crossed in five levels of pH 7.6-8.1 and DO 50-230 μmol/kg (20-100 % saturation degree) were tested, and hatching rate of the embryos and survivability of the larvae after 24 h at 25 °C were investigated. Low DO treatment significantly affected the embryos and larvae compared to low pH treatment. The 50 % lethal concentration of DO showed the highest value at pH 7.6 and the lowest value at pH 7.7 and 7.9 for embryos and larvae, respectively. Therefore, effects of deoxygenation on fishes were alleviated under acidified condition around pH 7.7-7.9.

Cellular respiration is central to a wide range of cellular processes. In microorganisms, the effect of a mutation or an environmental condition on the rate of respiration is usually determined by measuring oxygen consumption in the media. We describe this method and discuss caveats and controls for the method.

Abstract
Dissolved organic matter (DOM) in surface waters can vary markedly in character depending on seasonal variations such as rainfall intensity, UV radiations and temperature. Changes in DOM as well as temperature and rainfall intensity over the year can affect the biochemical processes occurring in bank filtration (BF). Identification and characterization of DOM in the surface water could help to optimize the water treatment and provide stable and safe drinking water. This study investigated year-long variations of DOM concentrations and compositions in a surface water of a circulated outdoor pond (research facility) connected to a BF passage. DOM was dominated by humic substances and a changing pattern of DOM in surface water was observed throughout the year. A significant increase of DOM (∼ 38%) in surface water was noted in August compared to November. The fluorescent DOM showed that DOM in summer was enriched with the degradable fraction whilst non-degradable fraction was dominated in winter. A constant (1.7 ± 0.1 mg/L) effluent DOM was recirculated in the system throughout the year. DOM removal through BF varied between 4% to 39% and was achieved within a few meters after infiltration and significantly correlated with influent DOM concentration (R2 = 0.82, p < 0.05). However, no significant (p > 0.05) change in the removal of DOM was observed in two subsurface layers (upper and lower). This study highlights the presence of a constant non-degradable DOM in the bank filtrate, which was not affected by temperature, redox conditions and UV radiations.

Abstract
Sediment respiration, the relation between dissolved oxygen (DO) attribution and carbon dioxide (CO2) emission, is an important index of the aquatic ecosystem and a key concern in the evaluation of reservoir cleanliness performance. To understand the sediment respiration dynamics regulated by the thermal stratification that is common in deep-water reservoirs, this study conducted in-situ measurements of thermal structures and benthic environments in the Daheiting Reservoir for 16 months. Then, the variations of DO and CO2 fluxes at the sediment-water interface (SWI) were obtained based on the aquatic eddy correlation method and the newly proposed virtual incubator method, respectively. The results show that the SWI fluxes dynamics can be decomposed into tendency variations dominated by thermal stratification and impulse variations induced by extreme events. The annual average SWI DO and CO2 fluxes of 3.80-6.62 and 1.92-3.15 mmol m-2·d-1 are estimated in the study site through the respiration dynamics, respectively, which CO2 flux is at a moderate level among the nearly 50 lakes and reservoirs worldwide but accounts for less than 15% of the total CO2 emission of this reservoir. Moreover, the sediment respiration quotient in stratified reservoirs is lower than in other aquatic environments, suggesting that the permanently flooded area is a weak net carbon source, while most carbon emissions from stratified reservoirs are carbon displacement or net carbon generated within the water. Sediment net carbon emissions correspond to human benefits such as flood control, power generation, and fisheries, whereas water net carbon emissions are usually not beneficial. Therefore, reducing net carbon emissions generated in the water may become an important way to achieve low-carbon operation of deep-water reservoirs.

Abstract
Previously, a novel Corynebacterium glutamicum strain for the de novo biosynthesis of tailored poly-γ-glutamic acid (γ-PGA) has been constructed by our group. The strain was based on the γ-PGA synthetase complex, PgsBCA, which is the only polyprotein complex responsible for γ-PGA synthesis in Bacillus spp. In the present study, PgsBCA was reconstituted and overexpressed in C. glutamicum to further enhance γ-PGA synthesis. First, we confirmed that all the components (PgsB, PgsC, and PgsA) of γ-PGA synthetase derived from B. licheniformis are necessary for γ-PGA synthesis, and γ-PGA was detected only when PgsB, PgsC, and PgsA were expressed in combination in C. glutamicum. Next, the expression level of each pgsB, pgsC, and pgsA was tuned in order to explore the effect of expression of each of the γ-PGA synthetase subunits on γ-PGA production. Results showed that increasing the transcription levels of pgsB or pgsC and maintaining a medium-level transcription level of pgsA led to 35.44% and 76.53% increase in γ-PGA yield (γ-PGA yield-to-biomass), respectively. Notably, the expression level of pgsC had the greatest influence (accounting for 68.24%) on γ-PGA synthesis, followed by pgsB. Next, genes encoding for PgsC from four different sources (Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus anthracis, Bacillus methylotrophicus, and Bacillus amyloliquefaciens) were tested in order to identify the influence of PgsC-encoding orthologues on γ-PGA production, but results showed that in all cases the synthesis of γ-PGA was significantly inhibited. Similarly, we also explored the influence of gene orthologues encoding for PgsB on γ-PGA production, and found that the titer increased to 17.14 ± 0.62 g/L from 8.24 ± 0.10 g/L when PgsB derived from B. methylotrophicus replaced PgsB alone in PgsBCA from B. licheniformis. The resulting strain was chosen for further optimization, and we achieved a γ-PGA titer of 38.26 g/L in a 5 L fermentor by optimizing dissolved oxygen level. Subsequently, by supplementing glucose, γ-PGA titer increased to 50.2 g/L at 48 h. To the best of our knowledge, this study achieved the highest titer for de novo production of γ-PGA from glucose, without addition of L-glutamic acid, resulting in a novel strategy for enhancing γ-PGA production.

Abstract
Flavohemoglobins (Fhbs) are key enzymes involved in microbial nitrosative stress resistance and nitric oxide degradation. However, the roles of Fhbs in fungi remain largely unknown. In this study, SpFhb1 and SpFhb2, two flavohemoglobin-encoding genes in Saitozyma podzolica zwy2-3 were characterized. Protein structure analysis and molecular docking showed that SpFhbs were conserved in bacteria and fungi. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that SpFhb2 may be acquired through the transfer event of independent horizontal genes from bacteria. The expression levels of SpFhb1 and SpFhb2 showed opposite trend under high/low dissolved oxygen, implying that they may exhibited different functions. Through deletion and overexpression of SpFhbs, we confirmed that SpFhbs were conducive to lipid accumulation under high stress. The sensitivities of ΔFhb mutants to NO stress were significantly increased compared with that in the WT, indicating that they were required for NO detoxification and nitrosative stress resistance in S. podzolica zwy2-3. Furthermore, SpAsg1 was identified that simultaneously regulates SpFhbs, which functions in the lipid accumulation under high/low dissolved oxygen and NO stress in S. podzolica zwy2-3. Overall, two different SpFhbs were identified in this study, providing new insights into the mechanism of lipid accumulation in fungi under high/low dissolved oxygen and NO stress.

Abstract
Coastal waters face increasing threats from hypoxia, which can have severe consequences for marine life and fisheries. This study aims to develop a machine learning approach for hypoxia monitoring by investigating the effectiveness of four tree-based models, considering spatiotemporal effects in model prediction, and adopting the SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) approach for model interpretability, using the long-term climate and marine monitoring dataset in Tolo Harbour (Zone 1) and Mirs Bay (Zone 2), Hong Kong. The LightBoost model was found to be the most effective for predicting dissolved oxygen (DO) concentrations using spatiotemporal datasets. Considering spatiotemporal effects improved the model's bottom DO prediction performance (R2 increase 0.30 in Zone1 and 0.68 in Zone 2), although the contributions from temporal and spatial factors varied depending on the complexity of physical and chemical processes. This study focused not only on error estimates but also on model interpretation. Using SHAP, we propose that hypoxia is largely influenced by hydrodynamics, but anthropogenic activities can increase the bias of systems, exacerbating chemical reactions and impacting DO levels. Additionally, the high relative importance of silicate (Zone 1:0.11 and Zone 2: 0.19) in the model suggests that terrestrial sources, particularly submarine groundwater discharge, are important factors influencing coastal hypoxia. This is the first machine learning effort to consider spatiotemporal effects in four dimensions to predict DO concentrations, and we believe it contributes to the development of a forecasting tool for alarming hypoxia, combining real-time data and machine learning models in the near future.

Abstract
N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) is significant functional monosaccharides with diverse applications in medicine, food, and cosmetics. In this study, the GlcNAc synthesis pathway was constructed in Corynebacterium glutamicum and its reverse byproduct pathways were blocked. Simultaneously the driving force of GlcNAc synthesis was enhanced by screening key gene sources and inhibiting the GlcNAc consumption pathway. To maximize carbon flux, some competitive pathways (Pentose phosphate pathway, Glycolysis pathway and Mannose pathway) were weakened and the titer of GlcNAc reached 23.30 g/L in shake flasks. Through transcriptome analysis, it was found that dissolved oxygen was an important limiting factor, which was optimized in a 5 L bioreactor. Employing optimal fermentation conditions and feeding strategy, the titer of GlcNAc reached 138.9 g/L, with the yeild of 0.44 g/g glucose. This study significantly increased the yield and titer of GlcNAc, which lay a solid foundation for the industrial production of GlcNAc in C. glutamicum.

Abstract
Sensitive detection of heavy metal (HM) stress in aquatic plants by dissolved oxygen (DO)-quenched fluorescence/materials movement-induced beam deflection method is demonstrated. Egeria densa Planchon and Cu2+ were used as a model aquatic plant and HM ion, respectively. Reproducibility and experimental errors of the method were first investigated in a control culture solution only containing 10-6 M Ru (II) complex (Tris (2,2'-bipyridyl) ruthenium (II) chloride) without addition of any fertilizer and Cu2+. Changes of DO concentration (∆DO) and deflection (∆DE) during the monitoring periods were used as parameters to quantitatively evaluate the experimental errors and detection limits. Averages or means ([Formula: see text], [Formula: see text]) and standard deviations (σ∆DO, σ∆DE) of ∆DO and ∆DE in seven control experiments with different aquatic plants sheets during both the respiration and photosynthesis processes were obtained. Next, DO and deflection at the middle vicinities of the aquatic plant were monitored during 2 h of both respiration and photosynthesis in presence of 10-10 ~ 10-6 M Cu2+. Experimental results showed that the aquatic plant began to suffer from the HM stress in some extent in presence of 10-9 M Cu2+. When the concentration of Cu2+ was higher than 10-8 M, changing trends of both DO and deflection with time were not reversed during the respiration and photosynthesis, implying that the materials movements in the physiological activities had been altered greatly. It is demonstrated that the method could sensitively detect the HM stress in the aquatic plants given by nM HM ions in culture solution without addition of a fertilizer. Furthermore, detection limits of the method were quantitatively discussed by considering [Formula: see text] σ∆DO and [Formula: see text] σ∆DE as the minimum detectable changes of DO and deflection caused by the HM stress, respectively.

Abstract
Electrocoagulation (EC) is promising for the removal of chemical and microbial contaminants. Although the removal of pathogens from wastewater is efficient by conventional Fe-EC in the presence of dissolved oxygen (DO), the non-inactivated pathogens in the sediment still have a risk. Herein, the inactivation of Escherichia coli (E. coli) with the mixed-valent iron nanoparticles, magnetite and green rust (GR), in-situ generated from Fe-EC process in the absence of DO was investigated. The inactivation efficiency was significantly higher with magnetite (4.7 log cells) and GR (3.2 log cells) compared with FeOOH (0.7-1.7 log cells) generated at 50 mA in 10 min. The unstable in-situ generated magnetite with positive charges was prone to adsorb onto E. coli, damaging the cell membrane, inactivating the bacteria. The unstable in-situ generated GR was prone to coagulate with E. coli, delivering Fe2+ into the cell and inducing the generation of endogenous ROS, inactivating the bacteria. Fe-EC in the absence of DO was proved to be efficient for the inactivation of E. coli (4.2-4.3 log cells) in real wastewater. These findings identified the ignored inactivation effect and mechanism of E. coli with magnetite and GR generated in situ from Fe-EC process, which will provide theoretical support for real applications.

Abstract
Seasonal upwelling and the associated incursion of hypoxic waters into the coastal zone is a widely studied topic over different upwelling zones. However, its persistence or variations over short time scales are poorly addressed. The present study, therefore, brings out a first report on hourly variations in the temperature, salinity and dissolved oxygen recorded by an environmental data buoy equipped with sensors, deployed in the nearshore waters of Alappuzha (southeastern Arabian Sea) from April to August 2022. The characteristic feature of the Alappuzha coast is the development of mud banks during the southwest monsoon, providing a tranquil environment suitable for continuous sensor-based measurements when the sea remains turbulent elsewhere. The results showed that despite an advance in the upwelling intensity, there is a significant variation in the oxygen concentration in the study domain on a diurnal scale. In general, the nearshore region was under hypoxia during the first half of the day (00:00 to 12:00 h), which increased steadily to reach normoxic and supersaturated levels during the rest of the day (12:00 to 24:00 h). Statistical analysis showed that winds significantly correlate to the coastal environment's subsurface oxygen concentration. During the morning hours, the wind was weak, and the water column remained stratified over the subsurface hypoxic water layer. The situation changed in the afternoon (12:00 h onwards), as there was a steady increase in the local wind speed (>5 m/s), which was sustained during the rest of the day. A local wind speed >5 m/s can disturb the stratification and enhance the mixing process from 12:00 to 24:00 h. The total kinetic energy of 11.5 J/m3 is the threshold for this oxygen supersaturation. These findings emphasize the role of wind-induced mixing in alleviating coastal hypoxia, highlighting the need for further biogeochemical and ecological investigations into the impacts of alternating oxic-hypoxic conditions in nearshore waters.

Abstract
Dissolved oxygen concentration and pH are controllable and cost-effective variables that determine the success of microalgae-related processes. The present study compares different control strategies for pH and dissolved oxygen in pilot-scale microalgae production systems. Two 80 m2 raceway reactors were used, one operated with freshwater plus fertilizer and the other with wastewater as the nutrient source. Both were in semi-continuous mode at a fixed dilution rate of 0.2 day-1. A comparison between the classical On-Off and more advanced pH control strategies, such as PI and Event-based control, was performed, focusing on biomass productivity and the influence of all the process parameters on microalgae growth; "No control" of pH was also assayed. The results show that Event-based control was the best algorithm when using freshwater plus fertilizer. In contrast, no significant differences were observed using the different control strategies when wastewater was the nutrient source. These experiments were performed through selective control strategy, prioritizing pH over dissolved oxygen; however, it was demonstrated that they did not allow to achieve satisfactory dissolved oxygen removal results, especially for the fertilizer system. After modifying the gas diffuser configuration and improving the mass transfer, independent on-off strategies have been developed, permitting effective control of both variables and increasing productivity by up to 20% in both systems. Concluding, a detailed analysis of the energy demand for each strategy implemented in terms of gas consumption and gas flow to biomass ratio is provided.

Abstract
The frequency of dissolved oxygen depletion events (hypoxia) in coastal aquatic ecosystems has risen dramatically since the late 20th century, yet the causes and consequences of hypoxia for some culturally and economically important species remain poorly understood. In rivers, oxygen depletion can be caused by high densities of spawning Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.) consuming oxygen faster than can be replaced by reaeration. This process may be exacerbated when salmon densities are artificially inflated, such as when hatchery-origin salmon stray into rivers instead of returning to hatcheries. In Southeast Alaska, hatchery salmon production has increased rapidly since the 1970s, with over 553 million chum salmon (O. keta) and 64 million pink salmon (O. gorbuscha) released in 2021 alone. Straying is pervasive in streams with outlets <25 km from nearshore marine hatchery release sites. Using a previously ground-truthed mechanistic model of dissolved oxygen dynamics, we examined how water temperature and low-flow channel hydraulics contribute to hypoxia vulnerability. We then applied the model to predict hypoxia vulnerability for watersheds within 25 km of hatchery salmon release points, where straying salmon spawner densities are expected to be higher and promote dissolved oxygen depletion. Our model predicted that low-gradient stream reaches, regardless of water temperature, are the most prone to hypoxia due to low reaeration rates. Our spatial analysis determined that nearly 17,000 km of anadromous-accessible stream reaches are vulnerable to high densities of hatchery-origin salmon based on 2021 release sites. To our knowledge, this study is the first to map the spatial variation of hypoxia vulnerability in anadromous watersheds, identify habitat conditions most likely to promote hypoxia, and provide a repeatable analytical approach to identify hypoxia-prone stream reaches that can be updated as empirical data sets improve.

Abstract
The limited freshwater resources and increasing demand for clean water require minimizing organic contamination in wastewater. High levels of biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) in water reduce available oxygen, harm ecosystem biodiversity, and degrade water quality. Here, regression-based analytical models are suggested to minimize organic contamination by estimating desired dissolved oxygen (DO) and dilution factors (df) correlated to the organic decomposition. Training datasets of defined independent inputs (i) ultimate biochemical oxygen demand (UBOD), (ii) minimum BODT (BODM), (iii) average BODT (BODA), (iv) COD, (v) O2 consumption (X), and (vi) time (T) were collected and/or calculated based on literature. Results showed that there should be specified oxygen dosing amounts dependent upon BOD5 levels, noting that BOD5 and DO5 are inversely proportional (proportionality might differ based on the microbial concentration). An increase in df is predominated by BOD5, with df≈9.2 for storm (STM), df≈12 × 103 for industrial (IND), and df≈18.5-28.5 for domestic (DOM) wastewaters. Mixing/matching between the input features used in training regressors including medium trees (MT) and ensembles boosted trees (EBT) showed high accuracy > 94% for predictor combinations: (i) MT-[UBOD-X], MT-[UBOD-X-T-COD], and EBT-[UBOD-X-T-COD] for DO5 predictions, and (ii) EBT-[BODM-BODA] and EBT-[BODM-BODA-UBOD-X-T-COD] for df predictions, knowing the general term XX-[a-b-c-d-e-f] has XX = regressor and a,b,c,d,e,f = predictors for the training parameters used as inputs. The models are capable of predicting changes in DO5 against BOD with deviations 5-10%, whereas a suggested correction factor [Formula: see text] further reduced this deviation to < 5%, where i = 0, 1, 2…6 refers to the BODM datapoint and its corresponding UBOD with the constant α = f(i). The optimized collective models (cubic equations derived for df and DO5 from BODM that is an exponent function in UBOD) would enable effluent quality evaluation to manage organic contamination, bridging the gap between science and industry best practices.

Abstract
Hydroxylated isoprenoid glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers (OH-GDGTs) have shown their potential in environmental reconstructions. However, the unclear underlying mechanism challenges their application. To elucidate the effects of water parameters on OH-GDGT-derived indices and understand their environmental implications, we investigated the core OH-GDGTs of suspended particulate matter (SPM) from water columns in a year cycle and surface sediments at different water depths along a nearshore-offshore transect in Lake Fuxian, a deep and large lake in southwestern China. OH-GDGTs were primarily found in the hypolimnion and were produced in situ by Group I.1a Thaumarchaeota. The relative abundance of OH-GDGTs (%OH-GDGTs) and ring indices (RI-OH and RI-OH') in the hypolimnion were significantly influenced by dissolved oxygen (DO) and pH, particularly DO, which regulated the inverse physiological functions of the hydroxyl and cyclopentane moieties of archaea. %OH-GDGTs values in SPM were positively correlated with DO and negatively correlated with pH levels, while RI-OH values exhibited an inverse relationship with DO and positive correlation with pH levels. OH-GDGTs in surface sediments appeared to be homologous to that of water columns, indicating that their inferred proxies could be regulated by the configuration of water parameters. The sedimentary %OH-GDGTs values increased as the RI-OH values decreased with water depth along the transect from the lakeshore to the lake center, suggesting their potential as lake-level proxies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Agitation speed influenced the production rate of laccase. Orbital speed not only influenced the enzyme production, but was also effective to dissolve the oxygen during growth of mycelium, spores, and chlamydospores. Shear effects of speed greatly influenced the morphology of mycelium. METHODS Ganoderma multistipitatum was identified by ITS marker. Phylogenetic tree was constructed for species identification. Qualitatively by plate method contained guaiacol indicator, while quantitatively by submerged fermentation and Central Composite Design applied on agitation parameter for maximum laccase potential of this species. The effects of agitation speed on mycelium morphology were observed under compound and scanning electron microscope. RESULTS Statistical optimization of agitation conditions were performed by using response surface methodology to enhance the production of laccase from Ganoderma multistipitatum sp. nov. Maximum laccase yield (19.44 × 105 ± 0.28 U/L) was obtained at 150 rpm grown culture, which was higher than predicted value of laccase production (19.18 × 105 U/L) under aerobic conditions (150 rpm). The 150 rpm provided the continuous flush of oxygen. The DO (dissolved oxygen) was maximum (65%) for "27 h" incubation at 150 rpm during laccase synthesis. The statistical value of laccase production was minimum under anaerobic or nearly static condition of 50 rpm. The predicted (12.78 × 105 U/L) and obtained (12.82 × 105 U/L) yield was low at 50 rpm. Optimization of orbital shaking for aeration conditions were performed by the use of "Response Surface Methodology". The submerged shaking flasks were utilized as a nutrients growth medium to maximize the production of laccase from G. multistipitatum. The minimum incubation time highly influenced the laccase yield from 7 to 15 days via utilization of less cost-effective medium under a promising and eco-friendly method. The morphological effects of rpm on mycelium were examined under compound and scanning electron microscopy. Higher rpm (200, 230) shear the mycelium, while 150 to 200 rpm exhibited smoother and highly dense branches of mycelia. CONCLUSION The shear forces of 200 rpm caused the damages of mycelium and cells autolysis with less laccase production. This study concluded that 150 rpm saved the life of mycelium and enhanced the production rate of enzymes.

Abstract
Dense and green-coloured patches were encountered on the sea surface waters of the Tuticorin coast on 22nd October 2022. Microscopic investigation revealed that the discoloration is caused by plankton, green Noctiluca scintillans. In order to find out the causes that trigger the bloom of N. scintillans, plankton samples were collected for 5 days in fourteen days duration from 22nd October to 4th November. During the peak bloom period, the abundance and biovolume of N. scintillans reached 1.56 × 104 cells/L and 21.8 × 1010μm3/L, respectively. The highest concentration (73.65 mg/m3) of chlorophyll-a was recorded during blooming period that was caused by Gonyaulax polygramma and endosymbiont, Pedinomonas noctilucae in N. scintillans. Formation of G. polygramma bloom is being reported for the first time in Tuticorin, southeast coast of India, with a species abundance of 36.9 × 104 cells/L. Present study concluded that besides the optimum hydrological conditions and eutrophic nature of the system, abundant prey (G. polygramma) facilitated the N. scintillans bloom.

Abstract
The Prince Edward Island (PEI) mussel aquaculture industry is being challenged by climate change induced environmental stressors including hypoxic/anoxic episodes, that can impact mussel health and survival. Physiological responses of mussels to hypoxia/anoxia have been studied; however, less is known about how transcriptomic response leads to physiology. The present study examined the transcriptomic response of acute (4 h) hypoxia in blue mussels (Mytilus edulis) from two sites and size classes in PEI, Canada. Overall, major changes in whole-mussel transcriptomics associated with metabolism, cellular organelles/processes and environmental sensing were observed in the first hours of hypoxia exposure. Differences in differentially expressed transcripts were observed between each site and size, indicating that responses to acute hypoxia exposure are highly complex. A size related pattern was observed, with seed size mussels having differential expression of transcripts associated with development, muscle function, and byssal attachment compared to the adults. Adult mussels had higher HSP 90 expression, while HSPs were predominately under-expressed in seed mussels. Seed mussels had significant under-expression of several classes of byssal thread attachment transcripts, indicating a decline in the production of byssal thread or detachment, both which have negative consequences for mussel aquaculture.

Abstract
In the Fenton-like processes, the resources that exist in the system itself (e.g., dissolved oxygen, electron-rich pollutants) are often overlooked. Herein, a novel CuCo-LDO/CN composite catalyst with a strong "metal-π" effect was fabricated by in situ calcination which could activate dissolved oxygen to generate active oxygen species and degrade the electron-rich pollutants directly. The CuCo-LDO/CN (1:10) with the largest specific surface aera, most C-O-M bonds and least oxygen vacancies exhibited the best catalytic performance for tetracycline (TC)degradation (TC removal efficiency 93.2% and mineralization efficiency 40%, respectively, after 40 min at neutral pH) compared to CuCo-LDO and other CuCo-LDO/CN composite catalysts. In the absence of H2O2, dissolved oxygen could be activated by the catalyst to generate O2·-and ·OH, which contributed to approximately 20.7% of TC degradation, providing a faster and cost-effective way for TC removal from wastewater. While in the presence of H2O2, it was activated by CuCo-LDO/CN to generate·OH as the dominant reactive oxygen species and meanwhile TC transferred electrons to H2O2 through C-O-M bonds, accelerating the Cu+/Cu2+ and Co2+/Co3+ redox cycles. The possible degradation pathways of TC were proposed, and the environmental hazard of TC is greatly mitigated according to toxicity prediction.

Abstract
The hypothesis that local hypoxia and chlorophyll concentration are spatially tethered to local, sediment-driven nutrient release was examined in a small, nutrient-impacted estuary in the Southern Gulf of St. Lawrence, Canada. Sediment reactor core samples were taken at 10 locations between 0.25 and 100% of the estuary area in spring and fall (2019) and used to estimate nitrogen and phosphate flux. Sediment organic matter, carbonate, percent nitrogen, percent carbon, δ13C, and δ15N were measured from the reactor core stations. Oxygen was recorded continually using oxygen loggers while chlorophyll and salinity were measured bi-weekly. A hydrodynamic model was used to determine water renewal time at each station. The most severe eutrophication effects were in the upper one-fifth of the estuary. There were strong local relationships between sediment biogeochemistry, hypoxia, and chlorophyll metrics but not with water renewal time. Internal nutrient loading represented 65% and 69% of total N loading, and 98% and 89% of total P loading to the estuary in June and September, respectively. Sediment nitrogen flux was highly predictable from a range of local sediment variables that reflect either nutrient content, or organic carbon enrichment in general. Percent nitrogen and percent carbon were highly correlated but sediment P flux was poorly predicted from sediment parameters examined. The highest correlations were with percent nitrogen and percent carbon. These results indicate that incorporating internal nutrient loading into nutrient monitoring programs is a critical next step to improve predictive capacity for eutrophication endpoints and to mitigate nutrient effects.

Abstract
Water constitutes an essential part of the earth as it helps in making the environment greener and support life. But water quality and availability are drastically affected by rising water pollution and its poor sanitation. Water gets contaminated due to the excessive use of chemicals by the industries, fertilizers, and pesticides by the farmers. Not only the surface water, groundwater and river water are also getting contaminated. Several published work in Indian context have used different models for the prediction of water quality. Some of them performed poorly due to the presence of irrelevant and missing data in the training samples. Moreover, these studies have assessed water quality on the basis of biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and coliform and chemical oxygen demand (COD), whereas dissolved oxygen(DO) is one of the most important parameters in terms of water quality assessment as it is considered a key determinant of pollution. Thus, there is a strong need to categorically identify and visualize the DO as one of the key components responsible for deteriorating the quality of water in Indian context. The main objective of this work is to build a wavelet genetic programming (WGP)-based workflow model for the assessment of water quality in 13 rivers of Uttar Pradesh region. WGP model has a unique feature of discarding the redundant and irrelevant data values from the source data. The proposed WGP model has given promising results which can be attributed to two factors: firstly, the novel use of Morlet wavelet in place of the widely popular Db wavelet, as the mother wavelet, and secondly, the use of MICE technique for missing value imputation in the pre-processing stage. The proposed model not only cleans the data but also demonstrates the feasibility of using DO values as one of the prime factors to assess the water quality.

Abstract
Recent studies have revealed that a combination of zero-valent iron (ZVI) and pyrite (FeS2) can effectively remove (Cr(VI)) from water, but the reasons behind this synergistic effect are still unclear. Our batch experiments showed that dissolved oxygen (DO) is a critical factor in the improved removal of Cr(VI) by ZVI and pyrite. When 0.08 g/L pyrite was combined with 0.5 g/L ZVI in the presence of DO, total Cr was reduced from 10 mg/L to 0.02 mg/L within 6 h. Conversely, in the absence of DO, total Cr was only reduced to 5.6 mg/L. DO oxidation of pyrite produced protons that promote ZVI corrosion, and mixing pyrite with water creates dissolved sulfide, which also contributes to the improved removal of Cr(VI). Electron microscopy images and X-ray absorption near edge structure analyses revealed that the presence of dissolved sulfide led to the formation of ferrous sulfide precipitates on the ZVI surface, preventing the formation of a passivating layer.

Abstract
The beneficial effects of N-decanoyl-homoserine lactone (C10-HSL), one of the typical N-acyl-homoserine lactones on biological nitrogen removal (BNR) system to resist the acute exposure of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) has attracted extensive attentions. Nevertheless, the potential impact of dissolved oxygen (DO) concentration on the regulatory capacity of C10-HSL in the BNR system has yet to be investigated. This study conducted a systematic investigation of the impact of DO concentration on the C10-HSL-regulated BNR system against short-term ZnO NP exposure. Based on the findings, sufficient DO played a crucial role to improve the BNR system's resistance capacity to ZnO NPs. Under the micro-aerobic condition (0.5 mg/L DO), the BNR system was more sensitive to ZnO NPs. The ZnO NPs induced increased intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation, reduced antioxidant enzyme activities, and decreased specific ammonia oxidation rates in the BNR system. Furthermore, the exogenous C10-HSL had a positive effect on the BNR system's resistance to ZnO NP-induced stress, primarily by decreasing ZnO NPs-induced ROS generation and improving ammonia monooxygenase activities, especially under low DO concentrations. The findings contributed to the theoretical foundation for regulation strategy development of wastewater treatment plants under NP shock threat.

Abstract
Cadmium (Cd) pollution is regarded as a potent problem due to its hazard risks to the environment, making it crucial to be removed. Compared to the physicochemical techniques (e.g., adsorption, ion exchange, etc.), bioremediation is a promising alternative technology for Cd removal, due to its cost-effectiveness, and eco-friendliness. Among them, microbial-induced cadmium sulfide mineralization (Bio-CdS NPs) is a process of great significance for environmental protection. In this study, microbial cysteine desulfhydrase coupled with cysteine acted as a strategy for Bio-CdS NPs by Rhodopseudomonas palustris. The synthesis, activity, and stability of Bio-CdS NPs-R. palustris hybrid was explored under different light conditions. Results show that low light (LL) intensity could promote cysteine desulfhydrase activities to accelerate hybrid synthesis, and facilitated bacterial growth by the photo-induced electrons of Bio-CdS NPs. Additionally, the enhanced cysteine desulfhydrase activity effectively alleviated high Cd-stress. However, the hybrid rapidly dissolved under changed environmental factors, including light intensity and oxygen. The factors affecting the dissolution were ranked as follows: darkness/microaerobic ≈ darkness/aerobic < LL/microaerobic < high light (HL)/microaerobic < LL/aerobic < HL/aerobic. The research provides a deeper understanding of Bio-CdS NPs-bacteria hybird synthesis and its stability in Cd-polluted water, allowing advanced bioremediation treatment of heavy metal pollution in water.

Abstract
Oxygen is crucial to keep the life cycle balance in any aspect. Aquatic life is highly influenced by the levels of dissolved oxygen (DO). This calls for not just constant monitoring of the DO in aquatic systems, but to generate an accurate prediction model for future levels of the DO. This study aims to propose an accurate prediction model for DO concentrations. The performance of the Random Forest (RF) and multilayer perceptron (MLP) algorithms was evaluated in generating the regression models. Moreover, the effect of dimensionality reduction of the data by the wrapper feature Selection method on the performance of the models was evaluated. The results showed that the RF regressor excelled MLP in performance with both the dataset of all variables and the dataset of reduced variables with the best performance achieved by the RF regressor by considering Pearson correlation coefficient (0.8052), Mean absolute error (0.8911), and root mean square error (1.2805) when trained by the dataset of reduced variables. As for the accuracy of the models, the estimation error deviation of both models declined significantly when trained by the reduced variables. When the accuracy of the prediction was increased by 0.95% by the RF regressor, the accuracy of the MLP was incremented by 5.7% when trained by the dataset of reduced variables. The results demonstrated the positive impact of the dimensionality reduction on the accuracy of both models. However, RF can be considered a robust regressor in predicting DO concentrations.

Abstract
Recently, C/N ratio is suggested as a promising control factor with dissolved oxygen (DO) achieving mainstream partial nitritation (PN); however, their combined effects on mainstream PN are still limited. This study evaluated the mainstream PN with respect to the combined factors, and investigated the prioritized factor affecting the community of aerobic functional microbes competing with NOB. Response surface methodology was performed to assess the combined effects of C/N ratio and DO on the activity of functional microbes. Aerobic heterotrophic bacteria (AHB) played the greatest role in oxygen competition among functional microbes, which resulted in relative inhibition of nitrite-oxidizing bacteria (NOB). The combination of high C/N ratio and low DO had a positive role in the relative inhibition of NOB. In bioreactor operation, the PN was successfully achieved at ≥ 1.5 of C/N ratio for 0.5-2.0 mg/L DO conditions. Interestingly, aerobic functional microbes outcompeting NOB were shifted with C/N ratio rather than DO, suggesting C/N ratio is more prioritized factor achieving mainstream PN. These findings will provide insights into how combined aerobic conditions contribute to achieve mainstream PN.

Abstract
Algal blooms are regarded as a significant source of CH4 emissions. Ultrasound has been gradually employed as a fast and efficient algae removal technology in recent years. However, the changes in water environment and potential ecological effects caused by ultrasonic algae removal are not fully clear. Here, a 40-day microcosm study was performed to simulate the collapse of Microcystis aeruginosa blooms after ultrasonic treatment. The results showed that low-frequency ultrasound at 29.4 kHz for 15 min removed 33.49% of M. aeruginosa and contributed to the destruction of cell structure, but it intensified the leakage of intracellular algal organic matter and microcystins. The accelerated collapse of M. aeruginosa blooms after ultrasonication promoted the rapid formation of anaerobic and reductive methanogenesis conditions, and elevated dissolved organic carbon content. Moreover, the release of labile organics, including tyrosine, tryptophan, protein-like compositions, and aromatic proteins, was facilitated by the collapse of M. aeruginosa blooms after ultrasonic treatment, and they supported the growth of anaerobic fermentation bacteria and hydrogenotrophic Methanobacteriales. This was also demonstrated by the increase in methyl-coenzyme M reductase (mcrA) genes in sonicated algae added treatments at the end of incubation. Finally, the CH4 production in sonicated algae added treatments was 1.43-fold higher than that in non-sonicated algae added treatments. These observations suggested that ultrasound for algal bloom control potentially increased the toxicity of treated water and its greenhouse gas emissions. This study can provide new insights and guidance to evaluate environmental effects of ultrasonic algae removal.

Abstract
The study assessed the evolution of water indicators of Remeți water body that is located in the Remeți locality in the Upper Tisa, a Natura 2000 protected area. Thus, electric conductivity, dissolved oxygen, oxygen saturation, temperature, pH, turbidity, ammonium concentration (NH4+), nitrates (NO3-), nitrites (NO2-), orthophosphate (PO43-), dissolved Fe, Mn, water hardness, alkalinity (A) and chloride were measured over the January (I)-October (X) 2021 period. This water course was subjected to anthropic pressure, being polluted with nutrients such as ammonium and orthophosphate ions, iron and manganese. The concentrations of other metals were either low (Al, Ba, Li, Ga, Rb, Ni, Sr, Zn, Cu, Ti) or below the detection limit (Pb, Cd). The study was performed over a period of 8 months, namely January 2021-October 2021, covering the 4 seasons, in order to establish their influence on the level of water quality indicators. Exceeded turbidity values and high concentrations of ammonium, orthophosphate and dissolved iron were found, these being generally higher in the summer-autumn months. Dissolved oxygen concentrations were low in the summer-autumn months. Based on the values of the physico-chemical indicators, two types of water quality indices WA-WQI (weighted arithmetic water quality indices) and CCME-WQI (Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment water quality indices) were calculated to evaluate the global water quality and its evolution over the seasons with a single value. WA-WQI values varied in the range of 78.56-761.63, with a tendency to increase in autumn, showing an intensified tendency of global water quality deterioration due to an increase in ammonium, turbidity, iron and orthophosphates in autumn months while CCME-WQI values were between 39.6 and 68.9, being fair in winter-spring months and marginal / bad in summer and autumn months. The results of this study are advantageous in identifying the level of pollution of Remeți water course, being a signal for local authorities in taking the necessary measures to reduce the pollution around it, for a better human health and conservation of the ecosystems hosted in the protected area.

Abstract
Simultaneous sensing of metabolic analytes such as pH and O2 is critical in complex and heterogeneous biological environments where analytes often are interrelated. However, measuring all target analytes at the same time and position is often challenging. A major challenge preventing further progress occurs when sensor signals cannot be directly correlated to analyte concentrations due to additional effects, overshadowing and complicating the actual correlations. In fields related to optical sensing, machine learning has already shown its potential to overcome these challenges by solving nested and multidimensional correlations. Hence, we want to apply machine learning models to fluorescence-based optical chemical sensors to facilitate simultaneous imaging of multiple analytes in 2D. We present a proof-of-concept approach for simultaneous imaging of pH and dissolved O2 using an optical chemical sensor, a hyperspectral camera for image acquisition, and a multi-layered machine learning model based on a decision tree algorithm (XGBoost) for data analysis. Our model predicts dissolved O2 and pH with a mean absolute error of < 4.50·10-2 and < 1.96·10-1, respectively, and a root mean square error of < 2.12·10-1 and < 4.42·10-1, respectively. Besides the model-building process, we discuss the potentials of machine learning for optical chemical sensing, especially regarding multi-analyte imaging, and highlight risks of bias that can arise in machine learning-based data analysis.

Abstract
The Baltic Sea serves as a model region to study processes leading to oxygen depletion. Reconstructing past low-oxygen occurrences, specifically hypoxia, is crucial to understand current ecological disturbances and developing future mitigation strategies. The history of dissolved oxygen (DO) concentration in some Baltic Sea basins has been investigated in previous studies, but temporally well-constrained, inter-annual and better resolved DO reconstructions are still scarce. Here, we present precisely dated, high-resolution DO record since the mid-19th century reconstructed from Mn/Cashell values of Arctica islandica (Bivalvia) collected in the Mecklenburg Bight. According to the data, this area experienced similar low oxygenation during the second half of the 19th century and the late 20th century, but DO variability increased: A 12-15-yr oscillation prevailed in the 19th century, but a 4-6-year period dominated in the late 20th century. Shortly after the onset of the Industrial Revolution around 1850, Mn/Cashell values increased, indicating a DO decrease, probably caused by strong anthropogenic nutrient input. More recently, phosphate levels and inflows of oxygen-rich North Sea water have been identified as major factors controlling the bottom water oxygenation. For example, the increase in DO in the mid-1990s was linked to the decrease in phosphate content and several Major Baltic Inflows. The strong Ba/Cashell rise between the 1860s and the turn of the century most likely reflects changes in diatom community structure rather than a bloom of mass phytoplankton. This is supported by largely unchanged Mn/Cashell and shell growth. Decadal and multi-decadal cycles of shell growth rate correlated strongly with the Atlantic Multidecadal Variability, likely reflecting changes in atmospheric circulation patterns, precipitation rate and riverine nutrient supply. To further improve the management and protection of ecosystems in the Baltic Sea, a larger number of such high-resolution retrospective studies covering long periods of time and large regions are needed.

Abstract
The effects of a) pre-fermentative freezing of the grapes (- 20 °C for two weeks); b) inoculation of the grape must with Saccharomycescerevisiae yeast, or co-inoculation with Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast and Oenococcus oenibacteria; c) vinification with or without fermentative maceration, and d) cold stabilization with or without bentonite treatment, were studied on the profile of oligomeric condensed tannins (proanthocyanidins, PAC) with non-cyclic or macrocyclic structures in wines made from Schiava cv., a red grape variety. The samples were evaluated just before inoculation and at the bottling of the wine. Commercial Schiava wines from two different producers stored at six and eighteen months were also studied for the effect of artificially introduced dissolved oxygen, and half of these bottles were subjected to periodic mechanical stress for one year, to see the effects on the PAC profile. Freezing of the grapes increased the extraction of all non-cyclic PAC in the must, whereas tetrameric, pentameric, and hexameric cyclic procyanidins (m/z 1153, m/z 1441, m/z 1729, respectively) were not affected; only a tetrameric cyclic prodelphinidin ( m/z 1169) showed a more similar trend to the non-cyclic PAC. In wines at bottling, cyclic procyanidins were higher in wines obtained by fermentative maceration (as well as most non-cyclic congeners); however, the significance of these differences depended on specific interactions between the factors. In contrast, no effect was found on the cyclic tetrameric prodelphinidin (m/z 1169). Bentonite treatment showed no significant effect on either oligomeric non-cyclic or cyclic PAC profiles. The addition of dissolved oxygen led to a significant decrease in non-cyclic trimeric and tetrameric PAC in the samples with respect to the control ones; however, the addition of dissolved oxygen did not influence the profile of the cyclic PAC. This study sheds new light on the substantial differences in the behaviour of the cyclic and non-cyclic oligomeric PAC in red wine in relation to the vinification process and in the bottle. Cyclic oligomeric PAC were more stable and less influenced by applied factors than linear PAC, again proving to be potential markers for the grape variety of wine.

Abstract
Cr(III)-organic complexes are stably presented in tanning, electroplating, and other industrial wastewaters, and their safe and efficient removal remains a current challenge. Available oxidation processes can remove Cr(III) complexes but readily result in highly toxic Cr(VI) accumulation. Herein, negligible Cr(VI) accumulation was achieved during photo-oxidation of Cr(III) complexes using a simple strategy of decreasing dissolved oxygen (DO). At the DO concentration of 5.0 mg·L-1 or less, the in-process formation of intermediate Cr(VI) was totally abated by in situ formed reductive species, and total Cr was reduced from 9.0-11.0 mg·L-1 to below 1.0 mg·L-1. A complete curtailment of Cr(VI) was observed after 30-60 min at pH 6.0-9.0. Increasing Cr(III)-EDTA concentration and decreasing pH value facilitated the in situ reduction of intermediate Cr(VI). Based on the identification of intermediates and additional Cr(II) and quenching experiments, the possible key species involved in intermediate Cr(VI) reduction were the photogenerated Cr(II) and some C-centered radicals from Cr(III)-EDTA decomplexation, and the possible mechanisms of Cr(III)-EDTA decomplexation and intermediate Cr(VI) reduction were thus proposed. The process also showed efficient treatment on other Cr(III) complexes (citrate, oxalate, and tartrate) and realistic Cr(III) complexed wastewater. This study would provide an insignificant Cr(VI)-accumulated alternative for efficient and safe removal of Cr(III) complexes from contaminated water.

Abstract
Wetlands are economically valuable ecosystems, in part because they purify wastewater by retaining and processing nutrients, organic matter (OM), and other pollutants. While natural wetlands are highly productive and sequester large pools of carbon (C), it is unclear whether the C cycle of restored treatment wetlands is functionally consistent with natural systems. This knowledge gap limits our appreciation for the role that wetland restoration can play as a natural solution to climate change. Here, we quantified metabolic and C cycling patterns of a restored, multi-basin wetland (Frank Lake, Alberta, Canada) receiving municipal and beef processing plant effluents rich in nutrients and OM. We conducted metabolic measurements in all three basins using dissolved oxygen sensors deployed under ice and in open water. Extreme production and respiration indicated that effluent was largely mineralized and replaced with wetland OM in transit. The heterotrophic status of all basins aligned with a published mass budget demonstrating the aquatic habitat of the wetland was an OM sink under current drought conditions that lengthen effluent processing time. Floating chamber measurements in open water zones confirmed that the wetland was a source of CO2 to the atmosphere. From input to outflow, sustained emissions led to declining pCO2 and a decline in the ratio of dissolved inorganic to organic C. Over 30 years post-restoration, the open water habitats in Frank Lake remain heterotrophic and a net source of CO2, suggesting that the trajectory of aquatic C cycling may be distinct from wetlands restored with non-effluent water sources.

Abstract
Coastal areas can represent an ecological transition zone with the function of biodiversity conservation, and good water quality is fundamental to maintaining this function. In this study, we analyzed data from 2011 to 2020 to reveal the variation in dissolved oxygen (DO) and the aquatic biological response in China's coastal seas. Results showed that DO in coastal waters exhibited an upward trend from 2011 to 2020 because of reduction in terrestrial anthropogenic pollutant (TAP) input. In comparison with DO in other seas, the DO content in the East China Sea was lower owing to higher TAP input, i.e., the proportion of DO of <5 mg L-1 accounted for approximately 60% of the total. Species numbers, density, and the species diversity index of phytoplankton, zooplankton, and macrobenthos were different in the different sea areas because phytoplankton, zooplankton, and macrobenthos have different responses to changes in DO. In comparison with the species numbers of zooplankton and macrobenthos, the species numbers of phytoplankton were more significantly related to DO, and showed a negative linear relationship with a better DO environment (DO ≥ 5 mg L-1; r2 = 0.39, p < 0.01) and positive correlation with a poor DO environment (DO < 3 mg L-1; r2 = 0.52, p < 0.01). A better DO environment is conducive to increased density of macrobenthos. Studies have shown that a good DO environment contributes to coastal ecosystem health, and continuous control of TAP input is an effective means of ensuring DO recovery.
