This wastewater-based surveillance for COVID-19 also complements the large-scale active clinical testing that the health authorities have been conducting for migrant workers staying in these dormitories. According to a Ministry of Health projection, 80-percent of workers living in dormitories would have recovered or cleared through testing by end-July.1 This expansion of our capacity to detect and test for SARS-CoV-2 will also help to keep a cap on possible new waves of infections. Wastewater-based surveillance may alert health authorities to any rising community spread, and enable rapid mitigating actions such as individual testing and early isolation to stem transmission. Going further, the trending of SARS-CoV-2 viral concentration over Dr Mats Leifels in personal protective equipment time is also critical information in determining the efficacy of infection (Credit: Cheng Dan) control and future pandemic control plans. A/Prof Thompson and co-authors, including SCELSE Prof Stefan Wuertz and Asst Prof Monamie Haines from NTU School of Social Sciences have communicated these ideas in a perspectives piece, “Making Waves: Wastewater surveillance of SARS-CoV-2 for population-based health management”, available online in Water Research journal. This inter-agency project has garnered the attention of the country’s Minister of the Environment and Water Resources (MEWR), Mr Masagos Zulkifli who wrote on his Facebook page that “there is good potential in wastewater surveillance to detect the spread of COVID-19” and that “we’re making wastewater work for us against COVID-19!”2 1 https://www.gov.sg/article/expanded-testing-in-phase-2-steady-progress-in-dormitory-clearance 2 https://www.facebook.com/masagos/posts/1532701626890849 SCELSE HAPPENINGS SCELSE on the small screen W ith health authorities warning of a second wave of COVID-19 Icons by by phatplus from www.flaticon.com infections, online presentations and meetings from home stay penciled in on everyone’s calendar.

But I still prefer presenting in person because you can convey meaning or create emphasis just by looking at people and getting their reaction. Their body language also gives useful feedback and indicates whether they are following me or if I need to slow down my talk. One funny thing did happen when I went to sit outside and wait while the post-QE confidential closed door discussion between the examiners started.

SCELSE Deputy Research Director (Microbial Biofilms) and joint organiser of JAMS (Joint Academic Microbiology Seminars) Singapore (SingJAMS) A/Prof Scott Rice: We ran SingJAMS via Zoom for April and May and virtual experience was definitely different. A key part of the JAMS experience is the personal interactions, meeting folks and getting to know each other, which just does not happen as easily online. It is also harder to just go up to the speaker to ask questions or make comments. So we shortened the format for presentations – from three live speakers to two virtual speakers as we wanted to keep the time shorter as it is harder to stay focused Overall, I think there for long periods online. We tried to have breakout rooms for the speakers to chat is a roll for virtual with the audience members and a general chat room for everyone else but the meetings, but science breakout rooms really did not work well and we have stopped doing that. needs real interaction We managed questions by having them posted to the ‘chat’ section. The session for discussion and the chair then picked those and read them to the speaker. That worked well and we exchange of ideas. got more questions from people who are normally too shy. We also changed our meeting time from 7 to 5pm to be more family friendly and cater to people who need to think about feeding their kids and allow for private time at home. Overall, I think there is a roll for virtual meetings, but science needs real interaction for discussion and the exchange of ideas. Events more than one or two hours long are unlikely to be as successful as live conferences since it is hard to maintain focus that long in front of the computer.

QUORUM J U L Y 2 0 2 0 SCELSE HAPPENINGS npj Biofilms and Microbiomes journal increases impact factor T he npj Biofilms and Microbiomes journal, published in partnership with SCELSE, has increased its impact factor from 6.3 in 2018 to 7.1 according to 2019 journal metrics. With that, it is setting its sights on brighter horizons. The journal’s status has risen from its initial impact factor of 4.1 in 2017, indicating its success in terms of visibility and recognition, says editor-in-chief Prof Alain Filloux, Chair in Molecular Microbiology at Imperial College London and visiting faculty at SCELSE. The number of submissions also reflects the journal’s recognition since it was launched in 2015, with more than 15 submissions each month this year - more than double compared to the same period last year. “The fact that we moved above seven is a fantastic achievement,” says Prof Filloux. “The prediction for next year already looks promising and we hope that the ascent of the journal will continue.” With this new impact factor, the journal is now ranked 16th out of 134 places among the journals in the microbiology category.1 Prof Filloux attributes this increased recognition to the quality of the editorial team, which currently includes fellow Editor-in-Chief A/Prof Catherine Lozupone from University of Colorado and associate editors Prof Tom Battin, Prof Jean-Marc Ghigo, Dr Omry Komren, Prof Rosa Krajmalnik-Brown, Prof Sandra L. McLellan. The team has also been encouraged to take a proactive approach in commissioning high quality papers and reviews for the journal in the coming year. With the increased number of submissions, the editors are considering appointing more associate editors with expertise on specific areas of biofilm research. “We will also be in most of the conferences that are specific to biofilms and make sure we reach out to all in the biofilm community,” says Prof Filloux. New initiatives for npj Biofilms and Microbiomes in 2020 include the launch of a special issue covering translational research on biofilms; the call for papers is still open, with the submission deadline in September. “There are many journals on biofilms and even more numerous microbiology journals, so the competition is certain but our increasing visibility as a journal is clear,” sums up Prof Filloux. 1 https://jcr.clarivate.com/JCRJournalHomeAction.action?pg=JRNLHOME&categoryName=MICROBIOLOGY&categories=QU RESEARCH FEATURE The missing factor in wastewater treatment I n 2008, Wu Yichao was taking his first dive into the field of wastewater treatment. As an undergraduate student in the civil engineering department of Southeast University in Nanjing, China, Wu was spending his school days learning design calculation of wastewater treatment plants. But the undergraduate lacked the fundamentals, or so he says today, in retrospect. “I was designing the treatment processes, but I didn’t know what the reactions inside were or how bacteria functioned in these processes,” Wu says. “I only knew “Wastewater treatment that there are bacteria in there, which are very small and are doing their jobs to clean is an interesting up the water.” research area where The undergraduate wanted to delve deeper.

QUORUM J U L Y 2 0 2 0 (Graphic provided by: Wu Yichao) Picking apart the mechanism To pick out potential factors, the team at SCELSE compared the influence of real wastewater and synthetic wastewater on a model wastewater bacterium Comamonas testosteroni added to the bioreactors. A target pollutant was also included in the wastewater mixes. In the first cycle after the bioreactors were fed with the wastewater, both real and synthetic wastewater systems could degrade the target pollutant within 24 hours. This equal efficiency in degrading the pollutant suggested that the catabolic activity of C. testosteroni was not affected by either wastewater. However, in the second cycle, only 60-percent was removed from the synthetic wastewater system after 24 hours, while the reactors fed with real wastewater had a removal efficiency of around 100-percent. Further, only a small number of C. testosteroni cells were found on established wastewater flocs in synthetic wastewater by the end of the first and second cycles, while most flocs in real wastewater were covered with them. The differences in degradation performance in synthetic wastewater could thus be attributed to the low retention of augmented bacterial “We found that after cells in the flocs, and also suggest underlying chemical factors in real filtration, the bacteria were wastewater that enhance the retention rate of the exogenous not likely to form biofilms C. testosteroni bacteria. or retain onto the flocs, To look at the influence of the two wastewater matrices on bacterial floc which meant that these formation, pure cultures of C. testosteroni were cultivated in a biofilm high molecular weight matrix, with visible flocs forming only in real wastewater within 2 hours. biopolymers were likely to Under continuous flow conditions, a 3D heterogenous biofilm structure be the potential factor that was observed in real wastewater but only a thin layer of bacterial cells contributes to the different formed in flow cells supplied with synthetic wastewater.

Picking out the missing factor To identify the factors behind this enhanced bacterial biofilm and floc formation in real wastewater, ultrafiltration was performed to exclude the high molecular weight fraction of the soluble extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) from real wastewater. “We found that after filtration, the bacteria were not likely to form biofilms or retain onto the flocs, which meant that these high molecular weight biopolymers were likely to be the potential factor that contributes to the different fates of C. testosteroni,” explains Wu.

QUORUM J U L Y 2 0 2 0 Further analysis by the team also showed that cells taken from the real wastewater were more hydrophobic than those in synthetic wastewater. This suggests that in the presence of a soluble EPS, the bacterial cell surface becomes more hydrophobic, allowing for the attachment of planktonic cells and floc formation. This shows that soluble EPS enhances biofilm formation and bacterial retention in bioaugmentation. Identifying this missing factor and picking apart the mechanism that reveals the contribution of soluble EPS in real wastewater and to higher bacterial retention could be advantageous in managing and bioaugmenting microbial communities in wastewater treatment. “Wastewater treatment is an interesting research area where bacteria are engineered and utilised for the goodness of mankind and the environment, and it is also one of the most active but least understood processes,” says Dr Wu, today an associate professor of environmental engineering at Huazhong Agricultural University in Wuhan, China. “There are many potential factors in these biofilm processes that we don’t know about but perhaps we could manipulate the biofilm processes after understanding these factors and control the community assembly of wastewater biofilms to benefit our treatment of them.” Responses of Exogenous Bacteria to Soluble Extracellular Polymeric Substances in READ THE PAPER: Wastewater: A Mechanistic Study and Implications on Bioaugmentation https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.est.0c00015 SCELSE STAFF PROFILE Bertrand Chan Laboratory Operations Officer H e greets you with a rattle of glassware and a thunder of trolley wheels against the floor. Rolling down the corridors of the lab with a trolley of dirtied glassware and back up to the lab to collect more, there’s Bertrand clocking in his presence at SCELSE every other morning. Bertrand does more than his usual round of glassware cleaning of course. As one of SCELSE’s lab operations officers, he offers that invisible assistance to the basic research needs of every lab user – from waste collection, autoclaving and replenishing consumables to replacing gas cylinders. Sometimes, a little investigation and trial- and-error cleaning processes are required for the more frustrating returns from lab users. “Sometimes I get this residue in the glassware that I can’t “I was really proud of this one - an adult giant snakehead, a very get out and since I don’t even know what it is, it’s hard to ferocious and predatory fish. I wasn’t targeting this particularly and figure out how to remove it or scrape it off, if I’m even able was using really small stuff so this was an absolute surprise.” to do so,” Bertrand describes of these daily tribulations. Unbeknownst to some of the students he serves, Bertrand too has a student life, albeit a part-time one outside of SCELSE hours. For the last year and a half, the 27-year old has been shuffling between our labs and night classes at Temasek Polytechnic, gunning for a diploma in aquaculture. The part-time student Bertrand’s return to studies was prompted by a relatively unfulfilling job search after graduating from NTU’s School of Physical and Mathematical Sciences. He already had his first taste of the workforce with a job at an analytical instrument company prior to graduation. Armed with a degree in Chemistry, he decided to ease back into employment in a similar role. “But as I went for these interviews, which were usually in Tuas and in quite desolate places, it dawned on me, ‘is this what I really want to do?’” Bertrand sighs. This period of going through mindless applications and a multitude of interviews proved stressful to the recent graduate. 6 SINGAPORE CENTRE FOR ENVIRONMENTAL LIFE SCIENCES ENGINEERING | www.scelse.sg
QUORUM J U L Y 2 0 2 0 “I always thought I would graduate, get a job and… that’s it. It didn’t occur to me to think what exactly this work would be,” he recalls. Feelings of emptiness but also, urgency set in, which spurred him to think harder about his future. “At the end of the day, I realised that the only things I enjoy are fish and marine-related things.” With this epiphany, Bertrand started looking for relevant study programmes. “I thought I would like to work in a marine environment like an aquarium or even a river safari. I even looked up aquarist roles in those places, but they required some form of aquaculture coursework so that prompted me to try out for the course,” Bertrand explains. “That felt really good, like wow, I’m finally doing something I like!” Berc the Youtuber A liking for everything related to fish does not exclude Bertrand from playing favourites though. Ask A screenshot from a BERC fishing videos with nearly 16,000 views him about his favourite fish and the fish fanatic rattles off a list of attributes about the Atlantic tarpon, found in Florida: “When you say ‘fish’, the tarpon is what I think of straightaway because it has everything of what you would expect from a fish – the long dorsal fins, elongated bodies, very nice V-shaped tail, super streamlined body and very fast. Their entire mouth structure is bone and makes a hollow sound when you knock it.” With a liking for predatory fish such as the tarpon comes an enjoyment of watching and even taking part in the chase, too. He may not be a widely known influencer in online popular culture but Bertrand’s activities in the fishing community has garnered him 1,300 subscribers on YouTube. Known on YouTube as “BERC”, his catch-and-release fishing videos ranges from 2,000 to 28,000 views. The online BERC is a humble personality with a relaxed temperament that perks up slightly even in obvious moments of great thrill when landing a huge catch. One of BERC’s most-viewed videos, “Checking out a longkang (canal) near my place” lays a copyright-free chillhop track over a diaristic GoPro view of his exploration down untrodden grassy paths sidelined by canals, mixed in with casual assessments of fishing spots and tips for viewers. Another video “do fish/bait scents work?” that has garnered nearly 16,000 views shows a moment of modest jubilation at his “personal best” and successful catch of a peacock bass at Lower Seletar Reservoir. As Bertrand attempts to reel it in, the only sounds that a viewer hears are of his line being dragged, an incoming train on the tracks nearby, and an affirmative response about the size of his catch to a neighbouring fishing enthusiast who seems more vocally excited than Bertrand himself. As he pulls in his prized catch, the chase is concluded in his laboured breathing, his voice breaking as he gives a tiny “woohoo!”, then “wow! Alright, that’s how we do it, folks,” before admitting, “Folks, I’m shaking now!” (cont. on next page) Special Shoutouts from SCELSE Special Shoutouts to SCELSE From Sin Xin Zhi: Fishy interest!

QUORUM J U L Y 2 0 2 0 Whether Bertrand or BERC, he admittedly finds it difficult to reconcile his positions as both fan and predator of fish. “It’s hard to say why I like fish, but I like their body structure, I like that they are in the water, I find it beautiful to see them swimming in their natural environment. I would rather be able to swim like a fish than fly,” Bertrand lists. “I myself find it hard to answer why I like fish and yet still go fishing and eat them, but maybe it’s to do with the fact that fishing was my first experience in encountering the natural world,” Bertrand continues. “As a kid, my dad often brought me fishing and I got to touch them and see them swim, so it’s been my longest hobby so far and since I was 7 years old.” The arguments against hobbyist fishing does have an effect on BERC though. “Truthfully, to this very day, I can’t say I can fully justify hobbyist fishing,” he admits. “There’s a constant debate about whether fish feel pain so I’ve been thinking of techniques that hopefully cause less pain and I release them.” His tips and techniques in handling fish surely comes in handy at his aquaculture course, but being at SCELSE works extremely well for both Bertrand and BERC. “When I found out that researchers here do experiments on St John’s Island, I thought that was cool and neat and related to what I’d want to do in the future!” SOCIAL A letter to the graduating class of 2020 Dr July Fong Dr Adeline Yong Dr Mishra Rajat Dr Brenda Tien Supervisors: Mei Hui Supervisor: Supervisor: Asst Prof Wu Bin, Supervisor: A/Prof Sanjay Swarup A/Prof Kimberly Kline Prof Michael Givskov A/Prof Kimberly Kline Dr Hu Yidan Dr Teh Wooi Keong Dr Chen Qingyan Supervisors: Supervisors: Dr Lee Yong Jian Supervisors: A/Prof Cao Bin, A/Prof Liang Supervisor: Supervisor: Prof Stefan Wuertz, Zhao-Xun, A/Prof Sanjay Swarup A/Prof Kimberly Kline A/Prof Liang Prof Michael Givskov, Zhao-Xun Dr Rohan Williams Dear graduates, Congratulations! It has not been an easy journey. We trust that these postgraduate years here have been as rewarding as they were intensive – a deep exploration into realms now familiar to you, an unsettling learning curve where your strengths are recognised and weaknesses revealed and remedied, an odyssey of self-discovery through the science you had yet to learn. Long this course may have felt but brief it is, considering the multitude of brighter trajectories that now unfurl at your feet. You are graduating during quite an unprecedented time indeed, complicated by the changes that the COVID-19 pandemic has wrought, with an impact on concerns that may affect us personally: accessibility to resources in higher education; an uncertain funding landscape; and anxiety from lockdowns and disruptions to daily life. In research, conferences have been cancelled or postponed and communing with the scientific community has been more difficult. In this altered reality, many are facing situations they never expected but in spite of these challenges, you have completed this one part of your journey and emerged a stronger scientist. In parallel, the pandemic has given higher visibility to the importance of science and also, highlighted a surge of public interest in scientifically-backed information that can be empowering. Scientists, in particular microbiologists, have been thrust into the spotlight, their expertise called upon and placed at the forefront of public health policy to deal with a novel coronavirus. Your postgraduate years gain a fresh importance. Thr strengths and ambitions as a scientist that you have identified in yourself during these demanding years are needed more than ever. Even as we remain uncertain what else is to come, the level of public trust in science is a comforting and prescient reminder that what we do cuts through the noise and fear of the unknown in times of crisis. We are regretfully unable to have our traditional mug-gifting ceremony to mark your graduation this year. Whichever path you choose to embark on, we hope SCELSE will always remain with you in some way, mug or not, be it the scientific skills and knowledge you take with you or the affinities forged with our small scientific community here. We look forward to your return to SCELSE. See you again! Best wishes and good luck! 8 SINGAPORE CENTRE FOR ENVIRONMENTAL LIFE SCIENCES ENGINEERING | www.scelse.sg @scelse_sg @scelse
