... The denitrification process plays an important role in improving water quality and is a source/sink of nitrous oxide to the atmosphere. The second important rate-limiting step of the denitrification process is catalyzed by two enzymes with different structures and unrelated evolutionary relationships, namely, the Cu-type nitrite reductase encoded by the nirK gene and the cytochrome cd1-type nitrit ...
... Pesticide showed a crucial selective pressure of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in the environmental dimension, especially in the pesticide wastewater treatment process, where the information on the mobility and hosts of ARGs was very important but limited. This study tried to clarify the mobile antibiotic resistome and ARG hosts in three typical pesticide wastewater treatment plants (PWWTPs) ...

Abstract:
... Plant-associated Pseudomonas live as saprophytes and parasites on plant surfaces and inside plant tissues. Many plant-associated Pseudomonas promote plant growth by suppressing pathogenic micro-organisms, synthesizing growth-stimulating plant hormones, and promoting increased plant disease resistance. This study was conducted to isolate and identify a Pseudomonas bacterium from a maize field and a ...
... Polycyclic aromatic compound (PAC) contamination in soil as a result of oil spills is a serious issue because of the huge global demand for fossil energy. This study assessed the vertical variation in polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), derivatives of PAHs (dPAHs) and bacterial community structure in deep soil with long-term contamination by oil spillage. Our results suggest that the content ...
... Understanding the underlying mechanism that drives the microbial community mediated by substrates is crucial to enhance the biostimulation in trichloroethene (TCE)-contaminated sites. Here, we investigated the performance of stable TCE-dechlorinating consortia by monitoring the variations in TCE-related metabolites and explored their underlying assembly mechanisms using 16S rDNA amplicon sequencin ...
... While the impact of glyphosate-based herbicides (GBHs) on earthworms has been studied, little is known about their effects on the earthworm gut microbiome. This study investigated the impact of a GBH on the gut microbial communities of three earthworm species (Alma millsoni, Eudrilus eugeniae and Libyodrilus violaceus). Earthworm species accommodated in soil were sprayed with 115.49 mL/m² of Round ...
... Petroleum reservoir is an unusual subsurface biosphere, where indigenous microbes lived and evolved for million years. However, continual water injection changed the situation by introduction of new electron acceptors, donors and exogenous microbes. In this study, 16S-rRNA gene sequencing, comparative metagenomics and genomic bins reconstruction were employed to investigate the microbial community ...
... This study was conducted in order to assess the exposure to bacterial and fungal bioaerosols in the air of waterpipe cafés (AWPCs), in the hose of waterpipe (HWP), and in the water bowl of the waterpipe (WBWP) and to investigate the factors influence increasing the contamination levels in waterpipe cafés in Ardabil. From all the 50 cafés studied, the samples were taken from air and from water cont ...
... Lake eutrophication and the resulting cyanobacterial blooms have become a global water environment problem. These eutrophic lakes usually have relatively high internal phosphorus loading such as Fe-P to support the formation of cyanobacterial blooms. In order to reveal the mechanisms and processes of phosphorus cycling in lake sediments, in this study, Lake Chaohu was selected as the research area ...

... Pseudomonas is a large and diverse genus of Gammaproteobacteria. To provide a framework for discovery of evolutionary and taxonomic relationships of these bacteria, we compared the genomes of type strains of 163 species and 3 additional subspecies of Pseudomonas, including 118 genomes sequenced herein. A maximum likelihood phylogeny of the 166 type strains based on protein sequences of 100 single‐ ...
... The present work studied to evaluate the effectiveness under the interaction of bacterial consortium and biochar applied to give impetus to bacterial community activities among cow manure composting. High-throughput sequencing technique and six treatments were carried out: T2, T3 and T6 were single apply of bacteria culture (C), 12%wood biochar (12%WB) and 12%wheat straw biochar (12%WSB), respecti ...
... A bench-scale expanded granular sludge bioreactor (EGSB) was continuously operated to treat synthesized high-nitrate industrial wastewater with increasing bivalent cadmium (Cd(II)) stress. The bioreactor showed nearly complete nitrate removal regardless of Cd(II) loadings, while nitrite accumulated in the effluent when influent Cd(II) loading was over 64 mg/L. Mi-seq sequencing of 16S rRNA gene am ...

... The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of the inoculation of the saltmarsh plant (Halimione portulacoides) with Pseudomonas sp. SPN31 nah+ combined with exposure to 2-methylnaphthalene (2-MtN) on the plant rhizosphere and endosphere bacterial communities as well as on plant health. To achieve this goal, microcosm experiments were set up. Denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) pro ...
... The main goal of the study was to determine new metagenomic indicators demonstrating sensitivity to soil fatigue as an effect of long-term agricultural use as well as new metagenomic indicators demonstrating bacterial resistance to human agricultural activity. Thirty-one soil samples (agriculturally exploited soil and wastelands – serving as controls) were taken for the study, in the south-eastern ...
... Wetland‐estuarine‐marine environments are typical oxic/anoxic transition zones and have complex water flow‐paths within the zone of mixing where freshwater interacts with ocean water. Little is known about the impact of this interaction on bacterial community structures or the relationship between bacterial community and geochemical factors in such transitional mixing environments. Hence, we inves ...

... The use of phenolic compounds derived from agricultural by-products could be considered as an eco-friendly strategy for food preservation. In this study a purified phenol extract from olive vegetation water (PEOVW) was explored as a potential bioactive ingredient for meat products using Italian fresh sausage as food model. The research was developed in two steps: first, an in vitro delineation of ...
... Making compost from chestnut lignocellulosic waste is a possible sustainable management strategy for forests that employs a high-quality renewable organic resource. Characterization of the microbiota involved in composting is essential to better understand the entire process as well as the properties of the final product. Therefore, this study investigated the microbial communities involved in the ...

Abstract:
... The connection between microbial community structure and spatial variation and pollution in river waters has been widely investigated. However, water and sediments together have rarely been explored. In this study, Illumina high-throughput sequencing was performed to analyze microbes in 24 water and sediment samples from natural to anthropogenic sources and from headstream to downstream areas. The ...
... Peat moss has been a standard carrier of inoculum for experimentation and in agriculture. Peat moss is, however, a non-renewable resource. Alternatively, biochar could serve as an inoculum carrier. Here, we tested the effect of biochar-based seed coatings as a carrier for the phosphorous-solubilizing Pseudomonas libanensis inoculum, on corn growth after soluble and insoluble P addition. The surviv ...
