Unravelling microbiome changes in aerobic granular sludge saline wastewater tre...
Paulo, Ana M. S.; Salazar, Oihane; Costa, Joana Sofia Gomes; Mesquita, D. P.; Ferreira, Eugénio C.; Castro, Paula M. L.; Amorim, Catarina L.Saline wastewaters mainly result from various industrial activities. In response to water shortage, seawater is increasingly utilized for diverse purposes, leading to an increased production of saline wastewater. The presence of salts in wastewater frequently impairs the efficiency of biological wastewater treatment technologies. Among these, aerobic granular sludge (AGS) has emerged as the most effective aerob...

Phytomanagement of Zn- and Cd-contaminated soil: helianthus annuus biomass prod...
Paulo, Ana M. S.; Caetano, Nidia S.; Castro, Paula M. L.; Marques, Ana P. G. C.Mining and industrial activity are contributing to the increase in heavy metal (HM) pollution in soils. Phytoremediation coupled to selected rhizosphere microbiota is an environmentally friendly technology designed to promote HM bioremediation in soils. In this study, sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) was used together with Rhizophagus irregularis, an arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), and Cupriavidus sp. strai...

Quantitative image analysis as a robust tool to assess effluent quality from an...
Costa, Joana Sofia Gomes; Paulo, Ana M. S.; Amorim, Catarina L.; Amaral, A. Luís; Castro, Paula M. L.; Ferreira, Eugénio C.; Mesquita, D. P.Supplementary data to this article can be found online at https://doi.org/10.1016/j.chemosphere.2021.132773.; Quantitative image analysis (QIA) is a simple and automated method for process monitoring, complementary to chemical analysis, that when coupled to mathematical modelling allows associating changes in the biomass to several operational parameters. The majority of the research regarding the use of QIA ha...

Paulo, Ana M. S.; Amorim, Catarina L.; Costa, Joana Sofia Gomes; Mesquita, D. P.; Ferreira, Eugénio C.; Castro, Paula M. L.The Supplementary Material for this article can be found online at: https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fenvs.2021.735607/ full#supplementary-material; Aerobic granular sludge (AGS) processes are among the most robust wastewater treatments. One of their greatest advantages is related to the granules multi-layered structure, which creates a protective barrier against organic shock loads and variable was...
Soil microbiota benefits from phytoremediation coupled to metal-resistant rhizo...
Paulo, Ana M. S.; Castro, Paula M. L.; Marques, Ana P. G. C.Phytoremediation is used for requalifying soils contaminated with heavy metals (HM). Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) is one of the most studied species for the remediation of HM-contaminated soils. To increase the bioavailability of nutrients and of metals in soils, metal-resistant plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) can be associated to phytoremediation strategies. Soil microbiota can benefit from thi...
Targeting aerobic granular sludge microbiome salt adaptation
Paulo, Ana M. S.; Amorim, Catarina L.; Castro, Paula M. L.Saline wastewaters can result from different economical activities, such as food and chemical industries. The need to overcome water shortage is also producing more saline wastewater, especially in coastal cities where seawater is used for cleaning processes. This is leading to the need of biological wastewater treatment technologies able to tolerate high salt concentrations. Aerobic granular sludge (AGS) has b...

Paulo, Ana M. S.; Amorim, Catarina L.; Costa, Joana; Mesquita, Daniela P.; Ferreira, Eugénio C.; Castro, Paula M. L.Aerobic granular sludge (AGS) processes are among the most robust wastewater treatments. One of their greatest advantages is related to the granules multi-layered structure, which creates a protective barrier against organic shock loads and variable wastewater composition, particularly attractive for the treatment of industrial wastewater. However, when treating a wastewater with variable and complex compositio...
