Prof. Yinguang Chen's Research Team Published Two Key Findings in Nature Water

Recently, the research team led by Professor Yinguang Chen from CESE has published two key findings in Nature Water. The first study identifies hydrogen sulfide as an underestimated driver for the dissemination of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in wastewater, which redefines the role of microbial metabolites as critical players in the propagation of ARGs. The second study innovatively proposes a metabolic reprogramming strategy that directs carbon flux into the glyoxylate shunt (GS) pathway, thereby reinforcing TCA cycle anaplerosis. This approach enables efficient nitrogen removal from low C/N wastewater while reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
