bacterial community structure and dominant bacteria in activated sludge from a 70 degrees c ultrasound-enhanced anaerobic reactor for treating carbazole-containing wastewater.status of, and changes in, the bacterial communities at two acclimation stages (with- and without-ultrasound) in a small 70 degrees c ultrasound-enhanced anaerobic reactor for treating carbazole-containing wastewater reactor were analyzed by pcr-dgge and real-time pcr techniques. pcr-dgge results indicated that a large number of bands occurred in the whole sludge samples. pseudomonas sp., comamonas sp., and diaphorobacter sp. were identified as being able to utilize carbazole as a carbon source, ...201019733065
two novel pyrene-degrading diaphorobacter sp. and pseudoxanthomonas sp. isolated from soil.two new bacterial strains, kotlb and rn402, which have the ability to utilize pyrene as their sole source of carbon and energy, were isolated from soil. strains kotlb and rn402 degraded 99% of 100 mg/l of pyrene in liquid cultures within 16 days. besides pyrene, both strains also degraded 100 mg/l of phenanthrene almost completely within 8 days and degraded 99% and 55% of 100 mg/l of fluoranthene within 24 days, respectively. 16s rdna-based phylogenetic analysis suggested that strains kotlb and ...200919914581

molecular characterization of the polymicrobial flora in chronic rhinosinusitis.conventional cultures have implicated staphylococcus aureus (sa) and coagulase-negative staphylococcus (cns) as principal pathogens in chronic rhinosinusitis (crs). these results are questioned by recent studies in which molecular probes implicate haemophilus influenzae instead.201020211106
diagnosis and quantification of glycerol assimilating denitrifying bacteria in an integrated fixed-film activated sludge reactor via 13c dna stable-isotope probing.glycerol, a byproduct of biodiesel and oleo-chemical manufacturing operations, represents an attractive alternate to methanol as a carbon and electron donor for enhanced denitrification. however, unlike methanol, little is known about the diversity and activity of glycerol assimilating bacteria in activated sludge. in this study, the microbial ecology of glycerol assimilating denitrifying bacteria in a sequencing batch integrated fixed film activated sludge (sb-ifas) reactor was investigated usi ...201021053955

flexible bacterial strains that oxidize arsenite in anoxic or aerobic conditions and utilize hydrogen or acetate as alternative electron donors.arsenic is a carcinogenic compound widely distributed in the groundwater around the world. the fate of arsenic in groundwater depends on the activity of microorganisms either by oxidizing arsenite (as(iii)), or by reducing arsenate (as(v)). because of the higher toxicity and mobility of as(iii) compared to as(v), microbial-catalyzed oxidation of as(iii) to as(v) can lower the environmental impact of arsenic. although aerobic as(iii)-oxidizing bacteria are well known, anoxic oxidation of as(iii) ...201121706372
