The increase in the production of highly recalcitrant plastic materials, and their accumulation ecosystems, generates need to investigate new sustainable strategies reduce this type pollution. Based on recent works, use microbial consortia could contribute improving biodegradation performance. This work deals with selection characterization plastic-degrading using a sequential induced enrichment technique from artificially contaminated microcosms. microcosm consisted soil sample which LLDPE...
This work clarifies some of the substances involved with biostimulant effect shown by 28 cyanobacteria isolated from different aquatic environments. The production salicylic acid, cytokinins, siderophores and phosphate solubilization were analyzed
Composting involves the selection of a microbiota capable resisting high temperatures generated during process and degrading lignocellulose. A deep understanding thermophilic microbial community involved in such biotransformation is valuable to improve composting efficiency provide thermostable biomass-degrading enzymes for biorefinery. This study investigated lignocellulose-degrading culturome at all stages plant waste composting, focusing on dynamics, enzymes, thermotolerance each member...
In this study, several composting strategies such as the use of semipermeable geotextile covers and biochar an additive were investigated to improve olive mill wastewater (OMW) biodegradability mitigate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions during industrial-scale composting. addition, final characteristics compost obtained its marketable value also assessed. For purpose, four different co-composting mixtures prepared with OMW main ingredient, two types manure (cattle goat manure) bulking agents...
Abstract Microalgae and cyanobacteria could play an important role in crop protection, since they produce bioactive substances that promote plant growth and/or trigger the resistance mechanisms. The present study focuses on control of bacterial canker caused by Clavibacter michiganensis subsp. tomato plants using sonicated extracts from microalgae genera Leptolyngbya , Nostoc Chlorella Scenedesmus . For development this study, 8 strains were firstly tested for their capacity to inhibit C....
The use of rhizobacteria provide great benefits in terms nitrogen supply, suppression plant diseases, or production vitamins and phytohormones that stimulate the growth. At same time, cyanobacteria can photosynthesize, fix nitrogen, synthesize substances rhizogenesis, aerial growth, even suppose an extra supply carbon usable by heterotrophic bacteria, as well act biological control agents, give them enormous value growth promoters. present study focused on vitro establishment consortia using...
The abusive use of chemical pesticides to control plant diseases has caused the loss soil biodiversity as well emergence resistance by pathogens. This effect forced an urgent search for other environmentally sustainable alternatives that serve pathogens safely and efficiently. In this sense, new biopesticides is currently a booming field within agro-biotechnology. Volatile compounds produced plant-associated microorganisms represent diverse resource promote growth health. work, collection 29...
Composting is considered an efficient and environmentally friendly alternative for plant waste management, resulting in compost, a high value-added product. During the process, microorganisms play crucial role as organic matter-degrading agents. However, highly recalcitrant nature of lignocellulose present residues sets challenge to involved process. Therefore, objective this study was evaluate effect lignocellulolytic microbial consortium, previously selected composting processes, promote...
Microorganisms drive the degradation of organic matter thanks to their enzymatic versatility. However, structure lignocellulose poses a great challenge for microbiota inhabiting compost pile. Our purpose was increase biodegradability vegetable waste in early stages composting process by applying microbial consortium with lignocelllulolytic capacity. For this, previous screening performed among culturable from different processes find inoculants ligninocellulolytic activity. Selected strains...
This work highlights the ability of various actinobacterial formulas, to control incidence gray-mold caused by Botrytis cinerea in cucumber seedlings. Protocols applied aimed at preliminary characterization collection and biopolymers used as carriers were very useful for predicting their phytotoxic, phytostimulating biopesticidal capacity. First, phytostimulatory or phytotoxic potential 3 different concentrations a 10 actinobacteria analyzed calculating germination index seeds seed dipping...
Microorganisms from L. terrestris gut previously exposed to different types of plastic (PET, LDPE, LLDPE, and PS) were studied be used as probiotics earthworms in plastic-contaminated soils (LDPE, LLDPE recycled mulching film) at mesocosm-scale trials. The most abundant morphotypes with enzymatic capacities interest identified. Pseudomonas alkylphenolica (PL4) putida (PL5) strains selected inoculants using Morus alba leaves carriers strengthen the intestinal microbiota earthworms. Culture...
The consequences of plastic accumulation in ecosystems are one the greatest current environmental concerns. Recent studies have used pure microbial cultures for biodegradation with little success. Conversely, consortia can help increase yields. This study characterized a collection isolated from agricultural waste composting to design effective plastics bioremediation. functionality microbiome was determined. Twenty-four microorganisms were based on production interesting ligninolytic...
