Biodegradation of Disodium Cocoamphodiacetate by a Wastewater Microbial Consortium

Water Environment Research, 2008
Biodegradation of an amphoteric surfactant commonly used in personal care products, disodium cocoamphodiacetate (DSCADA), was evaluated. Results from respirometry experiments indicated that high levels of DSCADA (>216 mg/L) may be toxic to bacteria in wastewater treatment processes.

Anaerobic degradation of benzoate to methane by a microbial consortium

Archives of Microbiology, 1976
A stabilized consortium of microbes which anaerobically degraded benzoate and produced CH4 was established by inoculation of a benzoate-mineral salts medium with sewage sludge; the consortium was routinely subcultured anaerobically in this medium for 3 years.

Reduction of nitrobenzene with H2 using a microbial consortium

Biotechnology Letters, 2004
Proof of concept was obtained that nitrobenzene can be reduced to aniline by a mixed reductive microbial culture using H2 as the sole electron donor source. In a continuous-flow anaerobic bioreactor, both pH and temperature affected nitrobenzene reduction with optima of pH 6.5-6.8 and 30 degrees C.

Methane-Driven Perchlorate Reduction by a Microbial Consortium

Environmental Science & Technology
The phenomenon of methane oxidation linked to perchlorate reduction has been reported in multiple studies; yet, the underlying microbial mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we enriched suspended cultures by performing methane-driven perchlorate reduction under oxygen-limiting conditions in a membrane bioreactor (MBR).

Biodegradation of propanol and isopropanol by a mixed microbial consortium

Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2000
The aerobic biodegradation of high concentrations of 1-propanol and 2-propanol (IPA) by a mixed microbial consortium was investigated. Solvent concentrations were one order of magnitude greater than any previously reported in the literature. The consortium utilized these solvents as their sole carbon source to a maximum cell density of 2.4 x 10(9 ...

Characterization of a microbial consortium capable of degrading lignocellulose

Bioresource Technology, 2011
A microbial consortium, designated WCS-6, was established by successive subcultivation in the presence of rice straw under static conditions. The degradation efficiencies of WSC-6 for 0.5 g filter paper, cotton and rice straw after 3 days of cultivation were 99.0±0.7%, 76.9±1.5% and 81.3±0.8%, respectively as determined by gravimetrical methods.

Degradation of crude oil by an arctic microbial consortium

Extremophiles, 2005
The ability of a psychrotolerant microbial consortium to degrade crude oil at low temperatures was investigated. The enriched arctic microbial community was also tested for its ability to utilize various hydrocarbons, such as long-chain alkanes (n-C24 to n-C34), pristane, (methyl-)naphthalenes, and xylenes, as sole carbon and energy sources. Except for

Fermentative hydrogen production by microbial consortium

International Journal of Hydrogen Energy, 2008
Abstract Heat pre-treatment of the inoculum associated to the pH control was applied to select hydrogen-producing bacteria and endospores-forming bacteria. The source of inoculum to the heat pre-treatment was from a UASB reactor used in the slaughterhouse waste treatment.

Biofertilizers as Microbial Consortium for Sustainability in Agriculture

2021
In the entire world, the aggregate effect of climate change is ceaselessly expanding deteriorated lands creating pressure on agricultural output and food security. The use of biofertilizers instead of chemical fertilizers can improve crop productivity and food quality under different environmental conditions.

Degradation of biphenyl by methanogenic microbial consortium

Biotechnology Letters, 1999
Biphenyl was readily degraded and mineralized to CO2 and CH4 by a PCB-dechlorinating anaerobic microbial consortium. Degradation occurred when biphenyl was supplied as a sole source of carbon or as a co-metabolic substrate together with glucose and methanol.
