Summary: This study evaluated the capability of microbial consortia isolated from marine sediment to produce hydrogen sulfide in batch reactors. The results showed that the microbial consortia from open-ocean exhibited better substrate utilization and higher hydrogen sulfide production. In addition, the enrichment of sulfate-reducing microbial consortia from moderately eutrophic marine sediments resulted in changes in microbial diversity compared to the original sediment microorganisms.

Summary: This study aims to develop an autochthonous hydrocarbon-degrading consortium and optimize growth conditions for effective hydrocarbon bioremediation. Results showed that bioaugmentation with inoculum pre-grown in acetate demonstrated the highest hydrocarbons degradation efficiency of 66%, highlighting the potential for using alternative carbon sources for bacterial biomass growth in response to oil spills.

Summary: Recent studies have shown that bacterial core flora in river sediments decreased while archaeal core flora increased after water diversion. Bacterial communities were found to be more sensitive to environmental changes induced by human activities and natural factors compared to archaeal communities, but exhibited greater resistance under long-term disturbances. Archaea, on the other hand, were more stable and showed insensitivity to short-term drastic environmental changes such as water transfer.

Summary: A microbial consortium of hydrocarbonoclastic bacteria isolated from oil-saturated desert soil was tested for its ability to remove oil in batch cultures and in oil-polluted soil samples. The results showed that the consortium did not consume more oil than the individual species, and the rate of oil removal in the bioaugmented soil samples was similar to that in the unbioaugmented ones. The study also found that certain bacterial species, such as Arthrobacter ginsengisoli, played an important role in oil removal.

Summary: The feasibility of a bioremediation approach using microbial formulations was studied to remove pesticides in greywater. The efficiency of the bioaugmented microbial consortium in degrading carbendazim and thiamethoxam was found to be 94.4% and 93.6%, respectively. This study contributes to the research on bioaugmentation for enhanced pesticide degradation.

Summary: This study investigated the changes in TBBPA and Cu concentrations and microbial community responses in co-contaminated sediments during long-term incubation. Fungal communities showed a stronger response to pollutant addition after a long incubation compared with bacterial and archaeal communities. Bacterial, archaeal, and fungal microbial communities were distinctly distributed into two separated clusters according to incubation time, indicating temporal changes in response.

Summary: Bioaugmentation using specific bacteria improves soil microbial communities and enhances the degradation efficiency of pollutants. This study found that bioaugmentation significantly influences the structure of soil bacterial communities, aiding in the removal of acetamiprid from soil while promoting the growth of bacteria associated with degradation.

Summary: The present study evaluated the performance of bioaugmentation in composting of post-consumption food waste (PCFW). It was found that microbial inoculant effectively induced temperature and pH rising, leading to accelerated organic matter degradation, humification, and maturity of the compost.

Summary: This study analyzed the microbial community composition and functional genes in the Yellow River Estuary and Laizhou Bay using 16S rDNA gene sequencing and GeoChip technology. The study found that water depth, Na content, and Ca content in sediments were the most significant environmental factors affecting the microbial community. The microbial community diversity and functional gene intensity were higher at nearshore sites compared to offshore sites, but the overall composition and functional genes were similar. The study also revealed that microbial communities were active in nutrient cycle and had functions related to organic remediation and metal detoxification.

Summary: The reduction of Fe(III) coupled with the oxidation of organic matter is a critical biogeochemical process in lacustrine sediments. This study revealed the changes in the diversity of culturable DIRB communities with sediment depth and found that it is influenced by the distribution of nutrients and iron (minerals).

Summary: Inhibiting sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) has shown various effects on microbial community properties and coexistence patterns, indicating the importance of SRB in organic matter (OM) degradation. Suppression of SRB resulted in decreased relative abundances of several bacterial families and altered network and community assembly processes. These findings highlight the essential role of SRB in OM degradation.

Summary: Phosphogypsum (PG) generated during phosphoric acid production contains a significant amount of sulfate, which can be biologically converted into sulfide. This study focuses on selecting and evaluating microbial consortia from sulfate-rich environments for the initial step of sulfur recovery. The MYC-consortium isolated from a hydrothermal niche showed the highest reduction capacity and performance under various conditions. This research provides insights into the potential of the MYC-consortium in converting sulfate from PG into sulfide, which is a critical step in sulfur biorecovery.
