0504393 Harper The prevalence of pharmaceutical chemicals in aquatic environments is increasing, especially as detection techniques improve. It is known that existing wastewater treatment often cannot, and does not remove pharmaceutical chemicals from waste streams. In the proposed project, the PIs will test the degradation of four common pharmaceuticals in bioreactors and relate the degradation to the microorganisms present and the reactor configuration. The PIs hypothesize that ammonia oxidizing bacteria (AOB) and heterotrophs work in concert to degrade pharmaceuticals and that bioreactor configuration plays a role in defining the bioavailability of pharmaceuticals and their transformation byproducts.

0504393 HARPER在水生环境中药物化学物质的流行率正在增加，尤其是随着检测技术的改善。众所周知，现有的废水处理通常不能，也不会从废物流中去除药物化学物质。在拟议的项目中，PIS将测试生物反应器中四种常见药物的降解，并将降解与存在的微生物和反应器构型相关联。 PIS假设氨氧化细菌（AOB）和异嗜性促进性降解药物，并且生物反应器构型在定义药物的生物利用度及其转化副产品中起着作用。
