Introduction

Eutrophication is the excess of algae and cyanobacteria, which causes water pollution by depleting oxygen and releasing poisons after they die. Phosphorus in discharged wastewater is a major contributor to eutrophication and deteriorating water quality. The hydrolytic action of acrosomal glycohydrolases and proteinases released at the sperm binding site, as well as the enhanced thrust generated by the hyperactivated spermatozoon, are important factors that regulate the penetration and fertilisation of the zona pellucida, the extracellular glycocalyx that surrounds the egg.

Enhance biological phosphorus removal has been widely used for phosphorus removal from wastewaters in order to decrease or control eutrophication of water bodies. Alternative anaerobic and aerobic phases are used in EBPR, and polyphosphate accumulating organisms with increased phosphorus accumulation ability are enriched. PAOs take up organic carbons such as acetate and propionate during the anaerobic phase and store them as intracellular polymers such as poly- -hydroxybutyrate. Polyphosphate serves as the energy supply, and glycogen serves as the reducing power source. The concentration of organic carbon in the liquid falls while the concentration of phosphate increases. PAOs synthesise new organisms, repair polyphosphate, and replenish glycogen with stored PHB as energy and organic carbon sources during the aerobic phase [1].

Because textile sector effluents contain a wide range of pollutant characteristics, a number of treatment procedures are necessary. To eliminate COD and colour, commonly utilised treatment processes, known as conventional chemical treatment methods, are applied. The content of phosphorus in the liquid falls. PAOs can collect polyphosphate in the range of 4-15% of total dry biomass weight, which is substantially higher than the 2% of common microorganisms. Phosphorus will be removed from wastewater by eliminating highphosphorus- content residual activated sludge from the wastewater treatment system.

A clinical no-diminishment trial revealed that S. Aspirin and S. miltiorrhiza despite salt are so extensively used in CHD treatment, but their molecular interactions are still being investigated. Current research indicates that these two medications have both comparable and distinct molecular therapeutic patterns, but the precise pattern of whether they are the same, different, or partially overlapping remains uncertain. As a result, a network pharmacology method appears to be of interest because it would identify the potential overlapping or distinct modules affected by each medication [2].

It emphasizes drug signaling pathway identification and gives a reference to increase therapeutic benefit and prevent side effects. According to the characteristics of Chinese herbal medicine's multicomponent and multimarket, network pharmacology may be a new and well-documented way to find some significant information. As a result, linked genes were used to build the molecular network, which was then combined with module division and modular analysis to investigate the relationships between aspirin and active components of S. miltiorrhiza despite salt in this study. Exploring the internal connection of probable molecular interactions between the two medications, we believe, can provide a clue for CHD combination therapy.

Aspirin is used in the long term, at low doses, to help prevent heart attacks because it reduces the production of blood clots in those at high risk. Salvia miltiorrhiza, a Chinese herbal medication that increases blood circulation in order to remove blood stasis drugs, has long been used to treat cardiovascular disorders such as CHD. The State Food and medication Administration certified S. miltiorrhiza despites salt as a new medication application for chronic angina treatment in 2005 [3].

Materials and Method

PAOs were acclimated at 25°C in two sequencing batch reactors with varying influent organic carbon contents. One SBR was given a low sodium acetate concentration, whereas the other was given a high NaAc concentration. The effective SBR working capacity was 6 L, and timers regulated the SBR phases of fill, mixing, aeration, settlement, and withdrawal. Each cycle includes 120 minutes of anaerobic phase with 10 minutes of fill phase, 180 minutes of aerobic phase, 40 minutes of settlement phase, and 20 minutes of idle/withdrawal. During the fill phase, peristaltic pumps pushed 3 L of influent wastewater into the reactor. To maintain the sludge retention time of roughly 10 days, 600 mL of mixed liquor was taken from the reactor each day at the same time before the settlement phase [4].

Batch tests were conducted at 25°C using activated sludge from the parent SBRs in steady condition. Activated sludge from SBR-H and SBR-L was used in each batch experiment. 400 mL of mixed liquor was removed from the parent SBRs for each batch experiment and placed in a 600 mL sealed glass flask. Several openings on the cap were created for sampling, aeration, and other purposes. Excess organic carbon was supplied to investigate the dynamics of PAO polymers under anaerobic circumstances, and the dynamics of various parameters such as glycogen, PHB, acetate, and orthophosphate were investigated [5, 6]

Endogenous tests were performed under both anaerobic and aerobic conditions to investigate the dynamics of PAO polymers The total carbohydrate of biomass was calculated as follows: a mixed liquor sample was added to a glass tube with 1 mL of deionized water and 0.3 mL of 6 M HCl and then mixed the mixer was digested at 100°C for 2 minutes after cooling down to room temperature, the digested liquor was centrifuged at 12000 rpm for 2 minutes, and the supernatant was taken for glucose measurement by HPLC. Extracellular carbohydrate was isolated using the Li and Yang and Sponza technique. 2 mL of mixed liquid was heated at 60°C for 30 minutes, then centrifuged at 12000 rpm for 2 minutes to release EPS from the biomass into the supernatant.

The HPLC equipment was used to measure PHB, NaAc, and glucose. The UV detector at 210 nm was used to test PHB and acetate, while the RID 10-A detector was used to assess glucose. The Aminex column was used to measure all of these factors. During the HPLC testing, the mobile phase was 0.1% sulfuric acid at a flow rate of 0.6 mL/min, the column temperature was 40°C, and the detector cell temperature was 40°C. The injection volume for PHB was 20 L, and the testing time was 35 minutes, whereas those for glucose were 50 L and 15 minutes, and those for acetate were 20 L and 20 minutes, respectively [7,8].

Discussion

After 60 days of acclimatisation, the two SBRs reached steady state by employing two distinct influent acetate concentrations, one with a high influent acetate concentration of SBR-H and the other of SBR-L. SBR-H had a steady-state SS of mg/L, a VSS of mg/L, and an effluent -P of mg/L, whereas SBR-L had an SS of mg/L, a VSS of mg/L, and an effluent -P of mg/L. Despite relatively high effluent -P concentrations in both reactors, which might be attributed to the high influent -P concentration used, both reactors had a high phosphorus content in the biomass. The phosphorus concentration of the dry biomass in SBR-H was 9.2% and 13.2% in SBR-L.

PAOs destroyed glycogen after being supplied with excess acetate, offering decreasing power and partial energy. The total carbohydrate concentration in SBR-H decreased from 189.8 mg C/g VSS to 122.8 mg C/g VSS, and the intracellular carbohydrate decreased from 108.3 mg C/g VSS at minute 0 to 38.9 mg C/g VSS at minute 50, while the extracellular carbohydrate remained relatively stable at mg C/g VSS; the decreased intracellular carbohydrate concentration was 69.5 mg C/g VSS throughout the reaction phase. In SBR-L, the total carbohydrate decreased from 238.0 mg C/g VSS to 198.5 mg C/g VSS, and the intracellular carbohydrate decreased from 145.5 mg C/g VSS to 56.0 mg C/g VSS, while the extracellular carbohydrate slightly increased with an average concentration of mg C/g during the entire reaction phase.

To investigate the kinetics of polymer in EBPR, it is crucial to distinguish between intracellular and extracellular carbohydrate. SBR-L had a somewhat greater extracellular carbohydrate content of 128.3 mg C/g VSS than SBR-H, which had a concentration of 82.8 mg C/g VSS. The above results showed that a low influent organic carbon condition induced a high extracellular carbohydrate production, which could be due to the fact that EPS production was a response to low nutrient conditions as a protective mechanism for experiencing unfavorable low organic carbon conditions.

Due to the presence of high external organic carbons, a high reaction rate existed, and the calculated polyphosphate requirement was in the theoretical range of 0.25-0.75 mol P/mol, whereas during Phase B, due to the limitation of intracellular carbohydrate and the slow activity of PAOs, the biokinetics were relatively slow and differed from those of Phase A [9-11].

Conclusion

Had the highest reaction rate, followed by polyphosphate, while biomass decay had the lowest reaction rate. The dynamics of polymers of PAOs under varied organic carbon concentrations were investigated, including typical cycle anaerobic metabolism with excess organic carbon supply and both anaerobic and aerobic endogenous respiration. Influent organic carbon concentrations showed no effect on PAO yield and anaerobic polyphosphate release, whereas a low influent organic carbon concentration favoured PAO adaptation and generated high extracellular glucose synthesis. PAOs began to use polyphosphate considerably during both anaerobic and aerobic endogenous respiration when glycogen levels fell below about mg C/g VSS. According to the first-order reaction model, glycogen degradation
