Flower Waste Degradation Using Microbial Consortium
Huge amounts of flowers are offered in temples in India creating a large amount of flower waste. The temple wastes are released in the water bodies or dumped at the available places of land which creates severe environmental pollution and health hazards.

Amniotic fluid from healthy term pregnancies does not harbor a detectable microbial community [PDF]
Recent studies have conflicting data regarding the presence of intra-amniotic microbiota. Viral communities are increasingly recognized as important although overlooked components of the human microbiota.

Metatranscriptomic Sequencing of a Cyanobacterial Soil-Surface Consortium with and without a Diverse Underlying Soil Microbiome. [PDF]
Soil surface consortia are easily observed and sampled, allowing examination of their interactions with soil microbiomes. Here, we present metatranscriptomic sequences from Dark Green 1 (DG1), a cyanobacterium-based soil surface consortium, in the ...

Functioning of a synthetic lignocellulolytic microbial consortium
The rich polysaccharide sugar content (75%) of lignocellulosic biomass (LCB) makes it a perfect resource for production of liquid fuels and industrial building blocks. Various LCB-degrading microbial consortia from different sources, with a set of “core” strains, have drawn attention. In particular, a bacterial-fungal consortium denoted SWT, consisting

Genomic blueprints of sponge-prokaryote symbiosis are shared by low abundant and cultivatable Alphaproteobacteria [PDF]
Marine sponges are early-branching, filter-feeding metazoans that usually host complex microbiomes comprised of several, currently uncultivatable symbiotic lineages.

Biodegradation of thiocyanate by a native groundwater microbial consortium [PDF]
Gold ore processing typically generates large amounts of thiocyanate (SCN−)-contaminated effluent. When this effluent is stored in unlined tailings dams, contamination of the underlying aquifer can occur. The potential for bioremediation of SCN−-contaminated groundwater, either in situ or ex situ, remains largely unexplored.
