Subterranean environments contribute to three‐quarters of classified ecosystem services

Biological 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.

Modeling bioaugmentation with nitrifiers in membrane bioreactors

Water Science and Technology, 2014
Bioaugmentation with nitrifiers was studied using two pilot-scale membrane bioreactors, with the purpose of assessing the suitability of state-of-the-art activated sludge models (ASMs) in predicting the efficiency of bioaugmentation as a function of operating conditions.

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

CleanMat, 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 ...

Molecular Characterization of Microbial Populations in Full-Scale Activated Sludge Plants and Bioaugmentation Sites

, 2003
The application of molecular biology techniques to the study of wastewater treatment and bioaugmentation was demonstrated in three studies. In the first study, full scale activated sludge treatment plants in North Carolina were surveyed to (1) determine

Autochthonous bioaugmentation and its possible application to oil spills [PDF]

, 2009
Bioaugmentation for oil spills is a much more promising technique than is biostimulation. However, the effectiveness of bioaugmentation is variable, because the survival and the xenobiotic-degrading ability of introduced microorganisms are highly ...

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 ...

Optimizing Bioaugmentation for Pharmaceutical Stabilization of Sewage Sludge: A Study on Short-Term Composting Under Real Conditions

Journal of Fungi
A significant concentration of pharmaceuticals has been detected within composted sewage sludge. Their uncomplete removal and lack of monitoring during composting neglects their potentially toxic effects when used as a soil organic amendment. Previously,

Bacterial bioaugmentation for paracetamol removal from water and sewage sludge. Genomic approaches to elucidate biodegradation pathway.

Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are recognized as significant contributors of paracetamol (APAP) into the environment due to their limited ability to degrade it.
