WHOLE GENOME SEQUENCING AND COMPARATIVE GENOMIC ANALYSES OF LYSINIBACILLUS PAKISTANENSIS LZH-9, A HALOTOLERANT STRAIN WITH EXCELLENT COD REMOVAL CAPABILITY

Whole Genome Sequencing and Comparative Genomic Analyses of Lysinibacillus pakistanensis LZH-9, a Halotolerant Strain with Excellent COD Removal Capability

Halotolerant microorganisms are promising in bio-treatment of hypersaline industrial wastewater.Four halotolerant bacteria strains were isolated from wastewater treatment plant, of which a strain LZH-9 could grow in the presence of up to 14% (w/v) NaCl, and it removed 81.9% chemical oxygen demand (COD) at 96 h after optimization.Whole genome sequen

Microscopic experiment on efficient construction of underground gas storages converted from water-invaded gas reservoirs

Based on the microfluidic technology, a microscopic visualization model was used to simulate the gas injection process in the initial construction stage and the bottom water invasion/gas injection process in the cyclical injection-production stage of the underground gas storage (UGS) rebuilt from water-invaded gas reservoirs.Through analysis of the
