Wastewater treatment – past and future perspectives

A recent perspective paper on wastewater treatment will please many readers while ruffling a few feathers for some others. The paper notes that over the last century wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) have essentially evolved in a piecemeal way to address a number of issues, rather than adopting holistic design approaches …

New tools for complex microbiomes

A new paper looks at innovative tools in chemical biology, and the power of combining these with multi-omics approaches to provide detailed insights into the behaviour of complex microbiomes. Highlighted techniques include bio-orthogonal non-canonical amino acid tagging (BONCAT), stable isotope probing (SIP), and Raman-activated cell sorting (RACS). These non-destructive tools …
