📰 @KestralJ and colleagues from @wetsus, Paqell and @WUR found that a more basic #pH enhances polysulfide generation, even with bacteria present. This could just be the key to produce more solid #sulfur to reuse.

📰 Whether used to convert toxic environmental pollutants into desired #sulfur solid, or to mine more valuable metals from contaminated water. Suyash Gupta and coworkers describe the works of extreme sulfur bacteria in their new #review

📰 Rich communities of microbes 🦠 in our #groundwater sources, and plenty of oxygen can help #micropollutant breakdown in #aquifers. Adding food sources mostly works opposingly.

📰 Algal blooms and #eutrophication are still caused by excess P even at low concentrations. By doping goethite nanoparticles with zinc, Wetsus and @tudelft scientists tailored the adsorbent surface to make it a figurative phosphorous magnet.

By prioritizing targeted increases in rainfall, forestation programs may not only mitigate global climate change itself but also reduce its concrete negative effects such as droughts.
