A combination of microbial electrolysis cells and bioaugmentation can effectively treat synthetic wastewater containing polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon

Water Science and Technology
The anaerobic biodegradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) is challenging due to its toxic effect on the microbes. Microbial electrolysis cells (MECs), with their excellent characteristics of anodic and cathodic biofilms, can be a viable way

The Arsenal of Aromatic Degrading Bacteria: How They Sense, Chase, Adapt and Destroy Environmental Pollutants

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 19, Issue 5, May 2026.
In the environment, bacteria sense aromatic pollutants, migrate toward them, adapt to toxicity, and deploy specialized uptake and catabolic systems. Genomic plasticity, metabolic versatility and division of labor within populations together aid in the degradation of persistent aromatics, highlights that biodegradation is driven by various eco ...

Trehalose promotes Rhodococcus sp. strain YYL colonization in activated sludge under tetrahydrofuran (THF) stress

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015
Few studies have focused on the role of compatible solutes in changing the microbial community structure in bioaugmentation systems. In this study, we investigated the influence of trehalose as a biostimulant on the microbial community in THF-treated ...

Emerging Technologies for Biobutanol Production via Syngas Fermentation

GCB Bioenergy, Volume 18, Issue 5, May 2026.
Biobutanol production from syngas is promising but limited by microbial energy conservation and gas–liquid mass transfer. This review integrates advances in cultivation control and bioreactor engineering with next‐generation biological tools including metabolic rewiring, co‐cultivation and chain elongation, and electro‐fermentation to enable carbon ...

Skin Microbiome Variation Among Hosts and Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis Infection in Hyla meridionalis and Pelophylax perezi

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 10, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Chytridiomycosis, caused by the fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), is a key driver of global amphibian declines. The amphibian skin microbiome, which may include Bd‐inhibitory bacteria, plays a crucial role in defence against infection, influencing host susceptibility and disease outcome.

Bioaugmentation Versus pH Adjustment in High-Load Food Waste Anaerobic Digestion: Divergent Microbial Responses and Methanogenesis Regulation

Fermentation
High organic loading is known to destabilize anaerobic digestion (AD). This study compared bioaugmentation and pH adjustment under increasing organic loading rate (OLR: 2.0, 4.0 and 6.0 gVS L−1 d−1), focusing on the responses of microbial structure ...
