Polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) with high molecular weight (more than three benzene rings) were difficult to degrade in saline environment. The present study details about the bacterial consortium enriched from industrial sludge from salt manufacturing company, Tuticorin, Tamilnadu (India), which was capable of degrading 1, 4 dioxane (Emerging micropollutant) and also phenanthrene as sole carb...

Alachlor, an aniline herbicide widely used in corn production, is frequently detected in water resources. The main objectives of this research were focused on isolating bacterial consortium capable of alachlor biodegradation, assessing the effects of carbon and nitrogen sources on alachlor biodegradation and evaluating the feasibility of using bacterial consortium in soil culture. Kavar corn fi...

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are highly recalcitrant compounds due to their high hydrophobicity and tendency to partition in organic phase of soils. Pyrene is a high-molecular weight PAH, which has human health concerns. In the present study, a bacterial consortium, PBR, was developed from a long-term polluted site, viz., Amlakhadi, Ankleshwar, Gujarat, for effective degradation of p...

A new consortium of four bacterial isolates (Agrobacterium radiobacter; Bacillus spp.; Sphingomonas paucimobilis, and Aeromonas hydrophila)-(CM-4) was used to degrade and to decolorize triphenylmethane dyes. All bacteria were isolated from activated sludge extracted from a wastewater treatment station of a dyeing industry plant. Individual bacterial isolates exhibited a remarkable color-removal...

Removal of contaminants from polluted environments could be improved by taking advantage of the catabolic capacity of some microorganisms in a process called bioremediation. Nowadays, the use of microbial associations (also called microbial consortia) is gaining attention, because they seem to have a wider degradation spectrum than that exhibited by isolated strains. M10 is a bacterial consorti...

Abstract Bacterial consortium is an important source of lignocellulolytic strains, but it still a challenge to distinguish the direct decomposers lignocellulose from other bacteria in such complex community. This study aims at addressing this issue by focusing on dynamic changes community structure and degradation activity MMBC-1, established stable bacterial consortium, during its subculturing...

Abstract The mammalian gut microbiome is a dynamic and complex community of microorganisms that provides its host with number health benefits. Understanding the key factors shape composition, stability ecology essential to maintain or establish functional microbiome. Studying synthetic model communities, like Oligo-Mouse-Microbiota (OMM 12 ) consortium, can help elucidate mechanisms inter-bacte...

A total of 58 Cadmium tolerant bacterial isolates were isolated from 26 samples collected from 20 villages/city of different contaminated water samples from industrial and mining affected areas of Chhattisgarh (India). Out of 58 bacterial isolates, 15 bacterial isolates were able to grow in presence of 40 mM cadmium chloride. These fifteen were further screened by biochemical characterization, ...
