Abstract
In order to conquer the block of high cost and low yields which limit to realize the commercialization of microalgal biodiesel, the mixotrophic and heterotrophic cultivation of Scenedesmus quadricauda FACHB-1297 fed on xylose was separately studied employing six forms of media: phosphorus sufficient, phosphorus restricted, and phosphorus starvation were combined with nitrogen sufficient and nitrogen starvation conditions. The maximum lipid content (about 41% of dry weight) was obtained on the 5th day (heterotrophic cultivation) and 8th day (mixotrophic cultivation) under the nitrogen starved and phosphorus sufficient (N0&P) conditions, which was about twofold in comparison to the final lipid content on the sufficient nitrogen condition (control). Under mixotrophic and heterotrophic modes, the highest lipid production was achieved in the N0&P trial, with the value of 274.96 mg/L and 193.77 mg/L, respectively. Xylose utilization rate of 30-96% under heterotrophic modes was apparently higher than that of 20-50% in mixotrophic modes. In contrast, phosphorus uptake rate of 100% under mixotrophic cultivation was significantly more than that of 60-90% in heterotrophic cultivation. Furthermore, under the condition of heterotrophic cultivation using xylose as a carbon source, the phosphorus had a positive impact on microalgae cell synthesis and the lipid content enhanced with the augmentation in phosphorus concentrations. We suggested that sufficient phosphorus should be supplied for obtaining higher microalgal lipid production in the lack of nitrogen under xylose heterotrophic/mixotrophic condition. This was a highly effective way to obtain efficient microalgae lipid production.

Abstract
Fe0-mediated autotrophic denitrification (ADN) can be suppressed by iron oxide coverage resulting from Fe0 corrosion. The mixotrophic denitrification (MDN) coupling Fe0-mediated ADN with heterotrophic denitrification (HDN) can circumvent the weakening of Fe0-mediated ADN over operation time. But the interaction between HDN and Fe0-mediated ADN for nitrogen removal of secondary effluent with deficient bioavailable organics remains unclear. When the influent COD/NO3--N ratio increased from 0.0 to 1.8-2.1, the TN removal efficiency was promoted significantly. The increased carbon source did not inhibit ADN, but promoted ADN and HDN synchronously. The formation of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) was also facilitated concomitantly. Protein (PN) and humic acid (HA) in EPS increased significantly, which capable of accelerating electron transfer of denitrification. Due to that the electron transfer of HDN occurs intracellularly, the EPS with the capacity of accelerating electron transfer had a negligible influence on HDN. But for Fe0-mediated ADN, the increased EPS as well as corresponding PN and HA facilitated TN and NO3--N removal significantly, while accelerated the electron release originating from Fe0 corrosion. The bioorganic-Fe complexes were generated on Fe0 surface after used, meaning that the soluble EPS and soluble microbial products (SMP) participated in the electron transfer of Fe0-mediated ADN. The coexistence of HDN and ADN denitrifiers demonstrated the synchronous enhancement of HDN and ADN by the external carbon source. From the perspective of EPS and related SMP, the insight of enhancing Fe0-mediated ADN by external carbon source is beneficial to implement high-efficiency MDN for organics-deficient secondary wastewater.

Abstract
In this study, the performance and mechanism of nitrogen removal were investigated in a zero-valent iron-mediated nitrogen removal system operated in co-substrate mode with sodium acetate as the organic carbon source. The results showed that the additional organic matter had the capacity to promote NH4+-N and total inorganic nitrogen (TIN) removal with efficiencies of 91.09% and 84.10%, and increases of 60.06% and 75.32% compared with the control group, respectively. The organic matter also stimulated the production of extracellular polymer substances that reduced the passivation and toxicity of iron to microorganisms. The ammonia oxidation activity was 2.5 times higher than that in the control group, and the anammonia oxidation activity and denitrification activity were substantially higher than in the control group with TIN removal efficiencies of 1.02 and 1.19 mgN/(gVSS·d), respectively. In addition, the organic matter increased the enrichment of the heterotrophic denitrification bacterium Diaphorobacter and facultative iron salt-based bacterium Dechloromonas.

Abstract
Energy is a major driving force for the economic development. Due to the scarcity of fossil fuels and negative impact on the environment, it is important to develop renewable and sustainable energy sources for humankind. Microalgae as the primary feedstock for biodiesel has shown great application potential. However, lipid yield from microalgae is limited by the upstream cost, which restrain the realization of large-scale biofuel production. The modification of lipid-rich microalgae cell has become the focus over the last few decades to improve the lipid content and productivity of microalgae. Carbon is a vital nutrient that regulates the growth and metabolism of microalgae. Different carbon sources are assimilated by microalgae cells via different pathways. Inorganic carbon sources are mainly used through the CO2-concentrating mechanisms (CCMs), while organic carbon sources are absorbed by microalgae mainly through the Pentose Phosphate (PPP) Pathway and the Embden-Meyerhof-Pranas (EMP) pathway. Therefore, the addition of carbon source has a significant impact on the production of microalgae biomass and lipid accumulation. In this paper, mechanisms of lipid synthesis and carbon uptake of microalgae were introduced, and the effects of different carbon conditions (types, concentrations, and addition methods) on lipid accumulation in microalgal biomass production and biodiesel production were comprehensively discussed. This review also highlights the recent advances in microalgae lipid cultivation with large-scale commercialization and the development prospects of biodiesel production. Current challenges and constructive suggestions are proposed on cost-benefit concerns in large-scale production of microalgae biodiesel.

Abstract
The sulfur(thiosulfate)-driven autotrophic denitrification coupled with Anammox (SDDA) process is proposed as an emerging technology for wastewater containing NH4+-N and NO3--N. However, the influence of organic matter on the SDDA process is not fully understood. A long-term experiment has shown that a moderate organic (acetate) (<140 mg/L COD) can accelerate the heterotrophic/autotrophic denitrification and Anammox activity, to reach as high as 92.8% ± 0.3% total nitrogen at a loading rate of 1.34 kg-N/(m3·d). Batch test results showed that Anammox made the largest contribution to the removal of nitrogen, even in an SDDA system with COD addition. Additionally, organics can promote the bioavailability of solid sulfur through reaction with sulfide to form polysulfides, which increased nitrite accumulation to forward Anammox process. Sulfur-oxidizing bacteria (e.g., Thiobacillus and Denitratisoma) coexisted with Anammox bacteria (e.g., Ca. Brocadia and Ca. Kuenenia) in the SDDA system despite the addition of exogenous COD.

Abstract
Algae have long been acclaimed as the attractive renewable source for generating third-generation biofuels, particularly biodiesel. Under the present investigation, the trends of production of biomass and lipid during the autotrophic and heterotrophic growth of newly isolated blue-green algae, Leptolyngbya subtilis JUCHE1, were compared and correlated with the variation in C-sources. In the autotrophic and heterotrophic growth studies, CO2 and glycerol were respectively used as the inorganic and organic C-sources maintaining equivalence in the initial amount of carbon. Light was used as the source of energy in both cases. The concentration of CO2 in the feed gas stream was varied from 5 to 20% (% v/v). Equivalent quantity of carbon was supplied through glycerol during heterotrophic growth. Small-scale closed algal bioreactors were used for growing the algae at 37 °C and 2.5 kLux light illumination in batch mode for 0-4 days. Primarily, higher biomass production from glycerol compared with CO2 was observed. In case of photoautotrophic growth, the maximum values of biomass and lipid productivity, obtained at 15% CO2, were 0.1857 g/L/d and of 0.020 g/L/d respectively. The maximum biomass productivity of 0.2733 g/L/d was obtained for photoheterotrophic growth at a glycerol concentration equivalent to 15% CO2 (v/v). Under photoheterotrophic growth of Leptolyngbya subtilis JUCHE1, lipid productivity of 0.0702 g/L/d was obtained at glycerol concentration equivalent to 5% (v/v) CO2, which is 4.66-fold higher than that obtained under corresponding photoautotrophic condition. The "switch-over" from the autotrophy to the photoheterotrophy instigated the oleaginous anabolism and consequent lipid enrichment in L. subtilis JUCHE1, which can be extracted and converted to biodiesel.

Abstract
In this study, a composite remediation material for the enhanced reductive dechlorination (ERD) of 1,1,1-trichloroethane (1,1,1-TCA) in aqueous solution was prepared. This material was comprised of biochar as the carrier and adsorbent, and carrageenan (CG) as the embedding medium to entrap the organic carbon sources and zero-valent iron (ZVI). We determined the suitable biochar dosage and organic carbon source in the composite alongside the optimal preparation conditions. Furthermore, using an anaerobic microcosm study, we discussed the performance and possible mechanisms of the composite on 1,1,1-TCA removal in aqueous solution. From this, we found that the suitable dosage of biochar in water during the preparation of composite microspheres was 0.2% (w/v). Under this condition, the biochar had a strong capacity to adsorb 1,1,1-TCA with a removal efficiency of 84.2%. Soluble starch was selected as the appropriate organic carbon source, because starch-microspheres show an excellent slow-release effect in water. The optimal preparation conditions of microspheres were identified as follows: 2% CG (w/v) colloidal solution, 6% CaCl2 (w/v) solution, and a 12-h curing time. After 25-day incubation with the composite prepared under optimized conditions, the removal efficiency of 1,1,1-TCA was 95.68%, which was 24.69% higher than that observed in the microcosm with a commercial remediation material. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images show that the amounts of ZVI and soluble starch inside the microsphere decreased obviously, while the biochar amount remained about the same. This indicates that 1,1,1-TCA in aqueous solution was mainly removed via soluble starch-enhanced biotic reductive dechlorination and ZVI-enhanced abiotic reductive dechlorination. The changes in microbial community structure demonstrate that the composite stimulated the activities of functional anaerobic bacteria, in particular, regarding dechlorination and fermentation abilities in the microcosm, therefore enhancing the anaerobic biodegradation of 1,1,1-TCA. This study suggests that the composite, entrapping biochar, ZVI, and organic carbon source in CG microspheres can significantly enhance the reductive dechlorination of 1,1,1-TCA in aqueous solution. We anticipate this novel remediation material could be successfully applied to the in situ ERD remediation of natural groundwater mainly contaminated with 1,1,1-TCA.

Abstract
The Arctic and subarctic seas are the major CO2 sink areas on earth. In this study, the vertical variation characteristics of organic carbon, total nitrogen and their ratio (Corg/Nt), stable isotopes δ13C and δ15N, and BIT (branched and isoprenoid tetraether) index of GDGTs (glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers) in combination with 210Pb-dating were used to analyze the changes in the marine and terrestrial sources of organic carbon in the northern Bering Sea (site 1), western Beaufort Sea slope (site 2) and northern Chukchi Sea (site 3). Organic carbon burial fluxes (OCBF) in the context of global warming were also explored at sites 1 and 3. The results showed that organic matter in these sediments were a mixed input of marine and terrestrial sources, and the BIT index and δ13C of site 2 suggested that the terrestrial soil organic matter was dominant. Based on a combination of 210Pb dating and Corg, the sedimentary OCBF at site 1 was 2.29-3.65 mg cm-2 y-1, and at site 3 was 0.00-0.41 mg cm-2 y-1. The temperature anomalies and sea ice changes in the Arctic in the past 100 years were compared with the burial fluxes of the terrestrial organic carbon. At site 1, the results indicated that fast melting of seasonal sea ice led to earlier arrival of ice algae bloom, enhanced zooplankton feeding and reduced carbon burial from 1947 to 2010, and the sudden increase in carbon burial after 2010 was attributed to an increase in primary productivity and terrestrial organic matter input due to an accelerated melting of sea ice. There was a smaller change in marine organic carbon content in site 3, but OCBF increased after a pre-1965 decrease, mainly controlled by terrestrial organic matter input associated with temperature rising and sea ice melting during recent decades.

Abstract
Marginal sea sediments receive organic substrates of different origins, but whether and to what extent sediment microbial communities are reflective of the different sources of organic substrates remain unclear. To address these questions, sediment samples were collected in two connected China marginal seas, i.e., Bohai Sea and Yellow Sea, and their two major tributaries (Yellow River and Liao River). Sediment bacterial community composition (BCC) was examined using 16S rRNA gene pyrosequencing. In addition, physicochemical variables that describe environmental conditions and sediment features were measured. Our results revealed that BCCs changed with salinity and organic carbon (OC) content. Members of Gaiellaceae and Comamonadaceae showed a rapid decrease as salinity and phytoplankton-derived OC increased, while Piscirickettsiaceae and Desulfobulbaceae exhibited an opposite distribution pattern. Differences of riverine vs. marginal sea sediment BCCs could be mostly explained by salinity. However, within the marginal seas, sediment BCC variations were mainly explained by OC-related variables, including terrestrial-derived fatty acids (Terr_FA), phytoplankton-derived polyunsaturated fatty acids (Phyto_PUFA), stable carbon isotopes (δ13C), and carbon to nitrogen ratio (C/N). In addition to environmental variables, network analysis suggested that interactions among individual bacterial taxa might be important in shaping sediment BCCs in the studied areas.

Abstract
In this study, soil samples from the typical rice-wheat cropping system in Jiangsu Province, China, subjected to different fertilizer application treatments-no carbon (CK), urea (UR), straw (SR), pig manure (PM), starch (ST), and glucose (GL)-were used to determine potential anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) rate and its association with bacterial abundance, diversity, and activity by using DNA stable isotope probing combined with 15N isotope tracing and molecular techniques. The effects of different organic carbon sources on anammox were significant, in the following order: GL > ST, SR > UR > PM; anammox activity differed significantly across treatments; however, the 13C active anammox bacteria were only closely related to Ca. Brocadia. The anammox hydrazine synthase β subunit functional gene sequences were highly associated with the Candidatus genus Brocadia in PM and CK treatments. The different organic carbon sources had different inhibitory effects with anammox rate, which dropped from 3.19 to 1.04 nmol dinitrogen gas g-1 dry soil h-1 among treatments. About 4.2-22.3% of dinitrogen gas emissions were attributed to anammox and indicated that a specific population of anammox bacteria was present and varied with the addition of exogenous organic compounds in paddy soils, although a small part of dinitrogen gas was emitted from the soil via anammox.

Abstract
In this research, a two-stage process consisting of cultivation in nutrient rich and nitrogen starvation conditions was employed to enhance lipid production in Chlorella vulgaris algal biomass. The effect of supplying different organic and inorganic carbon sources on cultivation behavior was investigated. During nutrient sufficient condition (stage I), the highest biomass productivity of 0.158±0.011g/L/d was achieved by using sodium bicarbonate followed by 0.130±0.013, 0.111±0.005 and 0.098±0.003g/L/d for sodium acetate, carbon dioxide and molasses, respectively. Cultivation under nitrogen starvation process (stage II) indicated that the lipid and fatty acid content increased continuously to a maximum value at day 2. Using carbon dioxide resulted in highest cell density, while using sodium acetate led to the highest fatty acid content. Molasses was not as effective as other carbon sources, but by taking into account its lower price, it can be considered as a suitable carbon source for algal lipid productivity.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to document the immunological effects of growing shrimp in biofloc systems. The experiment consisted of four types of biofloc systems in which bioflocs were produced by daily supplementation of four different carbon sources, i.e. molasses, tapioca, tapioca-by-product, and rice bran, at an estimated C/N ratio of 15 and a control system without any organic carbon addition. Each biofloc system was stocked with Pacific white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) juveniles that were reared for 49 days. The use of tapioca-by-product resulted in a higher survival (93%) of the shrimp as compared to the other carbon sources and the control. The highest yield and protein assimilation was observed when tapioca was used as the carbon source. After 49 days, phenoloxidase (PO) activity of the shrimp grown in all biofloc systems was higher than that of the shrimp from the control system. Following a challenge test by injection with infectious myonecrosis virus (IMNV), the levels of PO and respiratory burst (RB) activity in the shrimp of all biofloc treatments were higher than that of the challenged shrimp from the control treatment. An increased immunity was also suggested by the survival of the challenged shrimp from the experimental biofloc groups that was significantly higher as compared to the challenged shrimp from the control treatment, regardless of the organic carbon source used to grow the bioflocs. Overall, this study demonstrated that the application of biofloc technology may contribute to the robustness of cultured shrimp by immunostimulation and that this effect is independent of the type of carbon source used to grow the flocs.

Abstract
PETN (pentaerythritol tetranitrate), a munitions constituent, is commonly encountered in munitions-contaminated soils, and pose a serious threat to aquatic organisms. This study investigated anaerobic remediation of PETN-contaminated soil at a site near Denver Colorado. Both granular iron and organic carbon amendments were used in both laboratory and pilot-scale tests. The laboratory results showed that, with various organic carbon amendments, PETN at initial concentrations of between 4500 and 5000mg/kg was effectively removed within 84 days. In the field trial, after a test period of 446 days, PETN mass removal of up to 53,071mg/kg of PETN (80%) was achieved with an organic carbon amendment (DARAMEND) of 4% by weight. In previous laboratory studies, granular iron has shown to be highly effective in degrading PETN. However, for both the laboratory and pilot-scale tests, granular iron was proven to be ineffective. This was a consequence of passivation of the iron surfaces caused by the very high concentrations of nitrate in the contaminated soil. This study indicated that low concentration of organic carbon was a key factor limiting bioremediation of PETN in the contaminated soil. Furthermore, the addition of organic carbon amendments such as the DARAMEND materials or brewers grain, proved to be highly effective in stimulating the biodegradation of PETN and could provide the basis for full-scale remediation of PETN-contaminated sites.
