While transitioning to the second week, there was a change in growth pattern, with >600% increase in chlorophyll content and minor pH alterations, indicating the phenotypic response to the synergistic effect of nutritional mode during wastewater treatment. Both the strains showed a similar removal (70–80%) of both organic and inorganic carbon present in the wastewater, while the removal of nitrogen and phosphate (80–90%) was significant during mixotrophy. Metabolic analysis revealed the prominence of key pathways such as CO2 fixation, nitrogen assimilation, and amino acid metabolism under mixotrophic conditions of an open system. Especially, strain MAS1 exhibited elevated expression of organic acids, suggesting their crucial role in nutrient uptake from winery effluents during mixotrophy. Thus, our study demonstrates that a synergy of wastewater environment and nutritional mode enhances phenotypic trait expression in microalgae to improve metabolic flexibility and sustainable biomass production.]]> Wed 19 Jun 2024 15:37:26 AEST ]]> Toward In Situ Sequestration of Multicomponent PFAS Using Injectable Adsorbent Suspensions https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:54621 Wed 06 Mar 2024 10:53:01 AEDT ]]> Dynamic Column Studies of Multicomponent PFAS Sequestration Facilitated by Four Contrasting Injectable Adsorbent Suspensions and Associated PFAS Release in Simulated Groundwater https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:55886 Wed 03 Jul 2024 15:00:43 AEST ]]> Geospatial Machine Learning Prediction of Arsenic Distribution in the Groundwater of Murshidabad District, West Bengal, India: Analyzing Spatiotemporal Patterns to Understand Human Health Risk https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:54047 10 μg/L was much greater in the regions between two major rivers than in the regions close to the Ganges River on the eastern border of the study area, where higher proportions of As concentrations >10 μg/L had been observed prior to 2005. The greater likelihood that toxic concentrations of As are present away from the river channel and is found instead in the interfluvial regions could be attributed to the transport and flushing of aquifer As from intense irrigation pumping. We estimated that about 2.8 million people could be chronically exposed to As concentrations >10 μg/L. This high population-level exposure to elevated As concentrations could be reduced through targeted well-testing campaigns, promoting well-switching, provisions for safe water access, and developing plans for raising public awareness. Policymakers could use the ternary hazard map presented here to target high-risk localities for priority implementation of piped water supply strategies to help reduce human suffering.]]> Tue 30 Jan 2024 13:50:01 AEDT ]]> Transformation of Antimonate at the Biochar–Solution Interface https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:43850 Tue 04 Oct 2022 11:53:40 AEDT ]]>
