Understanding environmental and biological influences on the dynamics of microbial communities has received great attention in microbial ecology. Here, utilizing large time-series 16S rRNA gene data, ...

AIST researchers have observed the fouling process of water treatment membranes non-destructively. A phenomenon was discovered in which the lipids present in a biofilm caused membrane fouling. The ...

Scientists at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore), have developed an innovative solar-powered method to transform sewage sludge — a by-product of wastewater treatment — into ...
