Abstract:
Anaerobic biological phosphorus removal has proposed a new direction for the removal of phosphorus from wastewater, and the discovery of phosphate reduction makes people have a more comprehensive understanding of microbial phosphorus cycling. Here, from the perspective of thermodynamics, the bioreduction reaction of phosphate was analyzed and its mechanism was discussed. The research progress of phosphate reduction and the application prospects of anaerobic biological phosphorus removal from wastewater were introduced, pointing out the situation and guiding the further research in this field.

Tumor Progression
Colon cancer is one of the best-documented examples of tumor progression. Early mutation in the APC gene in colon cells causes a small growth on the colon wall called a polyp. With time, this polyp grows into a benign, pre-cancerous tumor. Further...
