Perspectives and vision for strain selection in bioaugmentation [PDF]

open access: yesTrends in Biotechnology, 2005
Notwithstanding the phenomenally large and ever-increasing resource of pollutant-degrading microbial isolates in laboratories around the globe, inoculum survival remains the 'Achilles' heel' for bioaugmentation of contaminated land. Considerable effort has been invested into inoculum strain selection to facilitate pollutant biodegradation, ranging from

New insights into bioaugmented removal of sulfamethoxazole in sediment microcosms: degradation efficiency, ecological risk and microbial mechanisms

open access: yesMicrobiome
Background Bioaugmentation has the potential to enhance the ability of ecological technology to treat sulfonamide-containing wastewater, but the low viability of the exogenous degraders limits their practical application.

Subterranean environments contribute to three‐quarters of classified ecosystem services

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1582-1605, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Beneath the Earth's surface lies a network of interconnected caves, voids, and systems of fissures forming in rocks of sedimentary, igneous, or metamorphic origin. Although largely inaccessible to humans, this hidden realm supports and regulates services critical to ecological health and human well‐being.

A Comprehensive Review of the Key Factors Affecting Biogas Production From Anaerobic Digestion of Organic Waste

open access: yesCleanMat, Volume 3, Issue 2, Page 74-98, June 2026.
Efficient conversion of organic waste to biogas depends on the coordinated optimization of feedstock composition, pretreatment, operational parameters, reactor design, and microbial community dynamics. This review highlights how these interacting factors improve methane yield and process stability, advancing anaerobic digestion as a practical pathway ...

Evaluation of Arthrobacter aurescens Strain TC1 as Bioaugmentation Bacterium in Soils Contaminated with the Herbicidal Substance Terbuthylazine.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
In the last years the chloro-s-triazine active substance terbuthylazine has been increasingly used as an herbicide and may leave residues in the environment which can be of concern.

Biological Pesticides as Viable Alternative to Synthetic Pesticides for Sustainable Agriculture and Nutrition: A Systematic Review

open access: yesJournal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The overuse of synthetic pesticides in agriculture has raised significant environmental and health concerns. Biopesticides have emerged as viable, environmentally compatible alternatives. However, recent comprehensive reviews integrating all biopesticide categories and emphasizing their contribution to synthetic‐pesticide‐free and health‐safe ...

Sequential bioaugmentation of the dominant microorganisms to improve the fermentation and flavor of cereal vinegar

open access: yesFood Chemistry: X
Traditional cereal vinegars are fermented by microorganisms that are spontaneously enriched, leading to uncertainty in regulating the fermentation process and flavor.

Augmentation of Granular Anaerobic Sludge with Algalytic Bacteria Enhances Methane Production from Microalgal Biomass

open access: yesFermentation, 2019
The efficiency of anaerobic digestion relies upon activity of the inoculum converting organic substrate into biogas. Often, metabolic capacity of the inoculum needs to be augmented with new capabilities to accommodate changes in the substrate feed ...

Effect of bioaugmentation on digestate metal concentrations in anaerobic digestion of sewage sludge.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2020
This study examined the influence of bioaugmentation on metal concentrations (aluminum, cadmium, chromium, cobalt, copper, iron, lead, manganese, molybdenum, nickel and zinc) in anaerobically digested sewage sludge.

EM‐induced bio‐clogging: Formation evolution and permeability response under variably saturated flow

open access: yesVadose Zone Journal, Volume 25, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
Abstract The vadose zone is an important yet frequently understudied environment where bio‐clogging occurs during managed aquifer recharge. Understanding the synergistic effects of key hydrodynamic factors—water content (θ) and flow velocity (V)—on biofilm development and permeability reduction is essential for predicting and mitigating clogging.
