During oil and natural gas production, so-called “produced water” comprises the largest byproduct stream. In addition, many operations are augmented via injection of hydraulic fracturing (HF) fluids into formation. Both produced water HF may contain hundreds individual chemicals, some known to be detrimental public health environment. Oil production wastewater serve a range beneficial purposes, particularly in arid regions, if managed correctly. Numerous treatment technologies have been...

Drought stress substantially impedes crop productivity throughout the world. Microbial based approaches have been considered a potential possibility and are under study. Based on our prior screening examination, two distinct novel biofilm-forming PGPR strains namely Bacillus subtilis-FAB1 Pseudomonas azotoformans-FAP3 encompassed in this research. Bacterial biofilm development glass surface, microtiter plate seedling roots were assessed characterized quantitatively qualitatively by light...

Abstract Incubation studies were conducted to assess the influence of various combination levels alkaline (pH 12.2) powerplant fly ash and sewage sludge on soil microbial activity numbers. A Glynwood (fine, illitic, mesic. Aquic Hapludalf) silt loam was mixed with 0, 5, 10, or 20% (w/w) 0 5% composted sludge. Respiration strongly depressed in 10 treatments over 28 d. Sludge addition improved respiration all except treatment. Total bacterial, actinomycete, fungal counts typically decreased...
