Synergistic microbial consortia in the bioremediation of heavy metal-contaminated wastewater: mechanisms and sustainability perspectives.

Environmental geochemistry and health
Heavy metals (HMs) are mostly toxic to all forms of life and are tenacious environmental pollutants. Rapid industrialization, urban development, and unsustainable agricultural implications lead to their accumulation in soil and water ecosystems, prom...

Advances in microbial biotechnology for sustainable wastewater reclamation: recent trends and future prospects.

World journal of microbiology & biotechnology
The growing demand for freshwater, coupled with the increasing volume of industrial and municipal wastewater, has intensified the need for sustainable and eco-friendly reclamation strategies. Recent advancements in microbial biotechnology have emerge...

Responses of Microbial Community to Heterogeneous Dissolved Organic Nitrogen Constituents in the Hyporheic Zones of Treated Sewage-Dominated Rivers.

Microbial ecology
The hyporheic zone (HZ) of treated sewage-dominated rivers serves as a critical biogeochemical hotspot for dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) transformation, yet the mechanisms linking DON chemodiversity to microbial community dynamics remain poorly re...

Collaboration of bacterial consortia for biodegradation of high concentration phenol and potential application of machine learning.

Chemico-biological interactions
Mixed culture of microorganisms is an effective method to remove high concentration of phenol in wastewater. At present, it is still a challenge for microorganisms to remove high-concentration phenol from wastewater. In this study, a phenol-degrading...

Rational construction of synthetic consortia: Key considerations and model-based methods for guiding the development of a novel biosynthesis platform.

Biotechnology advances
The rapid development of synthetic biology has significantly improved the capabilities of mono-culture systems in converting different substrates into various value-added bio-chemicals through metabolic engineering. However, overexpression of biosynt...

Biodegradation of ciprofloxacin using machine learning tools: Kinetics and modelling.

Journal of hazardous materials
Recently, the rampant administration of antibiotics and their synthetic organic constitutes have exacerbated adverse effects on ecosystems, affecting the health of animals, plants, and humans by promoting the emergence of extreme multidrug-resistant ...

Using metabolic networks to predict cross-feeding and competition interactions between microorganisms.

Microbiology spectrum
Understanding the interactions between microorganisms and their impact on bacterial behavior at the community level is a key research topic in microbiology. Different methods, relying on experimental or mathematical approaches based on the diverse pr...

Coupling growth kinetics modeling with machine learning reveals microbial immigration impacts and identifies key environmental parameters in a biological wastewater treatment process.

Microbiome
BACKGROUND: Ubiquitous in natural and engineered ecosystems, microbial immigration is one of the mechanisms shaping community assemblage. However, quantifying immigration impact remains challenging especially at individual population level. The activ...

The latitudinal gradient in rock-inhabiting bacterial community compositions in Victoria Land, Antarctica.

The Science of the total environment
The harsh conditions in Victoria Land, Antarctica have formed a simple ecosystem dominated by microbes that use rocks as shelters to avoid environmental stressors. The area is composed of basement rocks that illustrate the history of complex deformat...

Enrichment of thermophilic and mesophilic microbial consortia for efficient degradation of corn stalk.

Journal of environmental sciences (China)
Six different environmental samples were applied to enrich microbial consortia for efficient degradation of corn stalk, under the thermophilic and mesophilic conditions. The consortium obtained from anaerobic digested sludge under thermophilic condit...
