Effects of dissolved organic matter leaching from macrophyte litter on black water events in shallow lakes
In recent years, the black water phenomenon has become an environmental event in eutrophic shallow lakes in China, leading to deterioration of lake ecosystems and potable water crises. Decomposition of macroph...

Dominance of Oscillospira and Bacteroides in the bacterial community associated with the degradation of high-concentration dimethyl sulfide under iron-reducing condition
Microbial consumption of high-concentration dimethyl sulfide (DMS) under various redox conditions was investigated with freshwater sediments as inoculum. After about 1-year cyclic static enrichment at an initi...

Variation of physicochemical properties of drinking water treatment residuals and Phoslock® induced by fulvic acid adsorption: Implication for lake restoration
The use of phosphorus (P) inactivating agents to reduce internal P loading from sediment for lake restoration has attracted increasing attention. Reasonably, the physicochemical properties of P inactivating ag...

Ca2+ augmentation for enhancement of aerobically grown microbial granules in sludge blanket reactors
Two sequential aerobic sludge blanket reactors were concurrently operated to examine the effect of Ca2+ augmentation on aerobic granulation. Augmentation with 100 mg Ca2+ l−1 significantly decreased the time to c...
