Application of Bioaugmentation Technology to Improve the Activated Sludge Treatment Process in Removal of Aromatic Compounds [PDF]

Iranian Journal of Chemical Engineering, 2007
This investigation was designed to evaluate the effects of bioaugmentation on maintaining the system stability under shock loading conditions, standardizing the effluent, and improving the sludge settlement. In this study, phenol was chosen as a model of

Distinct Denitrification Phenotypes in Closely Related Bacteria: Clues to Understanding Variations in Nitrite Accumulation Among Stutzerimonas Strains

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 4, April 2026.
Closely related organisms within the Stutzerimonas genus display three distinct phenotypes with respect to nitrite (NO2−) accumulation during denitrification. Full NO2− accumulators (FNA) reduce nearly all available nitrate (NO3−) before initiating NO2− reduction.

A Concept Using α‐Niche Evolution Within Bacterial Communities to Direct β‐Niche Evolution of Focal Species

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 3, March 2026.
There is a great need for approaches to control how species evolve in response to environmental changes, particularly in complex microbiomes. The feasibility is often met with scepticism due to the multitude of open questions and high dimensionality of community eco‐evolutionary dynamics.

Coupling Nitrogenous Organic Wastewater Treatment and Biorefinery via N‐Cycling Bacterium

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 7, 3 February 2026.
The vast reservoir of nitrogenous organic pollutants in industrial wastewaters can serve as untapped carbon‐nitrogen resources. This study employs the newly discovered Paracoccus sp. ZQW‐1 as a versatile chassis to simultaneously achieve N‐methylpyrrolidone (NMP) wastewater depuration and polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) synthesis.

Systems‐Level Optimization of Hybrid Produced Water Treatment Systems for Sustainable Oil and Gas Production: A Review of Current Technologies

Global Challenges, Volume 10, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Produced water (PW) is the largest and most complex waste stream generated during oil and gas production, posing significant environmental, operational, and regulatory challenges due to its high salinity, dispersed hydrocarbons, toxic organics, heavy metals, and naturally occurring radioactive materials. Although numerous studies have reviewed

Exploring the Potential and Evaluating Hydrocarbon Degradation by Novel Antarctic Dietzia and Pusillimonas Isolates From a Pristine Environment

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 1, February 2026.
The Antarctic Dietzia and Pusillimonas isolates were tested for bioremediation applications. Genomic analyses revealed the potential to degrade complex organic compounds, potential virulence factors and resistance genes. Physiological assays showed a wide range of adaptation to abiotic factors and sensitivity to different groups of antibiotics ...

Gentle remediation options for DDT- and HCH-contaminated soil

Revista Facultad de Ingeniería Universidad de Antioquia
Gentle remediation options (GROs) such as vermiremediation have not been applied in Colombian soils with DDT and HCH yet, while bioaugmentation and biostimulation under anaerobic and/or aerobic conditions have been successfully implemented.

Plant Identity Shaped Rhizospheric Microbial Communities More Strongly Than Bacterial Bioaugmentation in Petroleum Hydrocarbon-Polluted Sediments

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Manipulating the plant-root microbiota has the potential to reduce plant stress and promote their growth and production in harsh conditions. Community composition and activity of plant-roots microbiota can be either beneficial or deleterious to plant ...
