Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 Bioelectrochemical systems (BES) are attractive and versatile options for the bioremediation of organic or inorganic pollutants, including trichloroethylene (TCE) and Cr(VI), often found as co-contaminants in the environment.

Into the darkness: the ecologies of novel ‘microbial dark matter’ phyla in an Antarctic lake
Environmental Microbiology, Volume 24, Issue 5, Page 2576-2603, May 2022., 2022 Summary Uncultivated microbial clades (‘microbial dark matter’) are inferred to play important but uncharacterized roles in nutrient cycling. Using Antarctic lake (Ace Lake, Vestfold Hills) metagenomes, 12 metagenome‐assembled genomes (MAGs; 88%–100% complete) were generated for four ‘dark matter’ phyla: six MAGs from Candidatus Auribacterota ...

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 11, Issue 1, February 2022., 2022 Nitrite reductase (Nir) and nitric oxide reductase (NOR) are the two central enzymes in denitrification, a key process in the global nitrogen cycle. This study identifies a novel Nir domain architecture and expanded diversity in a rarely reported nitric oxide reductase variant (eNOR) in members of the bacterial phylum Chloroflexi.

Environment International, 2020 Bioremediation of sites co-contaminated with organohalides and metal pollutants may have unsatisfactory performance, since metal ions can potentially inhibit organohalide respiration.

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 23, Issue 10, Page 5690-5703, October 2021., 2021 Summary An open question in environmental ecology regards the mechanisms triggered by root chemistry to drive the assembly and functionality of a beneficial microbiome to rapidly adapt to stress conditions. This phenomenon, originally described in plant defence against pathogens and predators, is encompassed in the ‘cry‐for‐help’ hypothesis.

Update of the risk assessment of hexabromocyclododecanes (HBCDDs) in food
EFSA Journal, Volume 19, Issue 3, March 2021., 2021 Abstract The European Commission asked EFSA to update its 2011 risk assessment on hexabromocyclododecanes (HBCDDs) in food. HBCDDs, predominantly mixtures of the stereoisomers α‐, β‐ and γ‐HBCDD, were widely used additive flame retardants. Concern has been raised because of the occurrence of HBCDDs in the environment, food and in humans.

Microbial Enzymes Used in Bioremediation
Journal of Chemistry, Volume 2021, Issue 1, 2021., 2021 Emerging pollutants in nature are linked to various acute and chronic detriments in biotic components and subsequently deteriorate the ecosystem with serious hazards. Conventional methods for removing pollutants are not efficient; instead, they end up with the formation of secondary pollutants.

Microorganisms, 2022 Towards chlorinated solvents, the effectiveness of the remediation strategy can be improved by combining a biological approach (e.g., anaerobic reductive dechlorination) with chemical/physical treatments (e.g., adsorption).
