The spill of crude oil and petroleum derivatives comprises the majority oceans pollution leads to acute chronic damages exposed organisms coastal communities. Some bacteria fungi are able biodegrade hydrocarbons both in terrestrial aquatic environments. Sediments taken from Baltic Sea vicinity one terminal, Curonian Lagoon strait with high anthropogenic shipping pressure a source microorganisms having potential degrade products. Next generation sequencing (NGS) identified taxa (e.g....

Despite peloids’ acknowledged therapeutic and cosmetic potential, there remains a limited understanding of their microbial diversity dynamics, especially concerning beneficial non-beneficial microorganisms under different heating conditions. Our study employs both cultivation metagenomic methods to assess the microbiota peloids, focusing on lake sapropel peat conditions recommended for external application safety assurance. By applying indicators specified in national regulatory documents,...

Ethyl cinnamate, an ester known as flavor and fragrance compound, has been synthesized using two immobilized bioreactor systems, batch fluidized bed bioreactors. The enzyme used for this synthesis is a commercial lipase B preparation, Novozyme 435. Initial kinetic studies were conducted in both employed configurations, constants obtained. Several models tried fitting of experimental data, but the best fit, bioreactors, was obtained when ping-pong bi-bi mechanism used. Interestingly enough,...

We investigated the dynamics of feces-associated microorganisms in areas with wrack accumulation southeastern part Baltic Sea. Our study covered both single and multi-day observations throughout two recreational seasons. collected water, sand, samples assessed abundance FIB, HF183 (indicative human fecal pollution), GFD bird pollution) genetic markers. Additionally, a metagenomic analysis was conducted to monitor changes microbial composition.Our findings revealed sporadic irregular...
