The most common approaches for the in-situ bioremediation of contaminated sites worldwide are bioaugmentation and biostimulation. Biostimulation has often proved more effective chronically sites. This study examined effectiveness optimized water hyacinth compost in comparison with other organic inorganic amendments remediation crude oil-polluted soils. Water was found to be rich nutrients necessary stimulate microbial growth activity. An geochemical analysis revealed that all this increased...
Abstract Biotransformation of organic pollutants is crucial for the dissipation environmental pollutants. While roles microorganisms have been extensively studied, significant contribution various root exudates are still not very well understood. Through plant growth experiment, coupled with gas and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry methods, this study examined effect presence M. sativa on microbial-associated biochemical transformation petroleum hydrocarbons. The results revealed that...
Environmental contamination by petroleum hydrocarbons is of concern due to the carcinogenicity and neurotoxicity these compounds. Successful bioremediation organic contaminants requires bacterial populations with degradative capacity for contaminants. Through successive enrichment microorganisms from a petroleum-contaminated soil using diesel fuel as sole carbon energy source, we successfully isolated consortium that can degrade hydrocarbons. Metagenome analysis revealed specific roles...
Abstract The biotechnological application of microorganisms for rhizoremediation contaminated sites requires the development plant-microbe symbionts capable plant growth promotion and hydrocarbon degradation. Here, we present a study aimed at isolating single microbial strains that are promoting as well diesel fuel hydrocarbons. Through genomic analyses greenhouse-based experiments, examined synergistic interactions Medicago sativa L. Paraburkholderia tropica WTPI1 enhanced fuel-contaminated...
The pollution of terrestrial and aquatic environments by petroleum contaminants, especially diesel fuel, is a persistent environmental threat requiring cost-effective environmentally sensitive remediation approaches. Bioremediation one such approach, but dependent on the availability microorganisms with necessary metabolic abilities adaptability. aim this study was to examine microbial community in contaminated site, isolate organisms potentially able degrade hydrocarbons. Through successive...
Improving the fertility status of nutrient-depleted soils is critical to achieving food security. The negative effects chemical fertilizers on necessitate global quest for eco-friendly, effective, and sustainable alternatives. This work assessed effect black soldier fly (BSF) residue application soil properties watermelon growth. study was set up in a completely randomized design with six replications. treatments were BSF1 (BSF applied at 10 t ha−1), BSF2 (20 BSF3 (30 control. plant data...
Crude oil-polluted sites are a global threat, raising the demand for remediation worldwide. Here, we investigated crude oil metagenome from former borehole in Wietze, Germany, and reconstructed 42 metagenome-assembled genomes, many of which contained genes involved degradation with high potential bioremediation purposes.
The remediation of contaminated sites using plant-based techniques has gained increasing attention in recent decades. However, information on the effects contaminant imbibition seed viability and germination rates are often lacking literature. To this end, our research investigated, by means an event-time model, effect diesel fuel rate Medicago sativa, a plant species with great potential for organic contaminants. model provided accurate biologically relevant method analysing data. Our...
In recent decades, there has been increasing interest in the use of ethanol-blended fuels as alternatives to unblended fossil fuels. These initiatives are targeted at combating CO2 and particulate matter emissions, these oxygenates leave behind a lesser carbon footprint. Noble it may appear, this innovation is not without attendant ugly consequences. One major implication effect co-solvency on applicability various forms phytotechnologies for contaminant removal. By means gas...
Abstract The slow rate of natural attenuation organic pollutants, together with unwanted environmental impacts traditional remediation strategies, has necessitated the exploration plant-microbe systems for enhanced bioremediation applications. identification microorganisms capable promoting both plant growth and hydrocarbon degradation is crucial to success plant-based techniques. Through successive enrichments a soil sample from historic oil-contaminated site in Wietze, Germany, we isolated...
Alternaria leaf spot of cabbage, caused by the brassicicola, affects leaves cabbages and often results in head rots causing severe decline yield. In this work, effects systemic combination fungicides on A. brassicicola mycelia growth vitro disease severity field trials were investigated. The evaluation revealed that both significantly inhibited (p < 0.05) under conditions. However, metalaxyl-M 6% was less effective with 100 μg/mL having only 30 ± 3.5% inhibition. On other hand, mancozeb...

The Clean Air Act (42 U.S. Code § 7401) is one of the United States America’s most influential environmental laws. Under Amendments 1990, oxygen-containing organic compounds must be added to some fossil fuels with goal combating CO2 and particulate emissions. However, major implication effect co-solvency on leaching potentials polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) into groundwater. Our research investigated this three groups recalcitrant PAHs that are present in diesel fuel. results reveal...
Citrus greening disease, or Huanglongbing (HLB), has devastated citrus crops globally in recent years. The causal bacterium, '
