Can microbial mineralization be used to estimate microbial availability of organic contaminants in soil?

, 2006
The aim of this study was to characterize the behaviour of a PAH-degrading bacterium to determine whether mineralization plateaus as a result of substrate removal, a decrease in microbial activity or nutrient availability in sterile soils over time.

Shifts in microbial diversity through land use intensity as drivers of carbon mineralization in soil [PDF]

, 2015
Land use practices alter the biomass and structure of soil microbial communities. However, the impact of land management intensity on soil microbial diversity (i.e. richness and evenness) and consequences for functioning is still poorly understood. Here,

Effect of Temperature on Acetate Mineralization Kinetics and Microbial Community Composition in a Hydrocarbon-Affected Microbial Community During a Shift From Oxic to Sulfidogenic Conditions

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Aquifer thermal energy storage (ATES) allows for the seasonal storage and extraction of heat in the subsurface thus reducing reliance on fossil fuels and supporting decarbonization of the heating and cooling sector.

Mineral weathering is linked to microbial priming in the critical zone

Nature Communications, 2023
Abstract Decomposition of soil organic matter (SOM) can be stimulated by fresh organic matter input, a phenomenon known as the ‘priming effect’. Despite its global importance, the relationship of the priming effect to mineral weathering and nutrient release remains unclear. Here we show close linkages between mineral weathering in the

Experimental study on water and soil retention of slopes by MICP surface mineralization combined with vegetation

Yantu gongcheng xuebao, 2022
The ecological restoration is popular by means of grid beams on slopes with earth fill and plant. The rainfall erosion tests are carried out on the slope models with different slope gradients, rainfall intensities, microbial mineralizations and ...

Microbial Destruction Mineral (Oil) Motor Oil [PDF]

Mikrobiolohichnyi Zhurnal, 2015
In a review information is presented about composition of mineral motor oils and their negative impact on the environment and the ability of microorganisms, in particular actinobacteria, to assimilate hydrocarbon oil components. The role of bacteria is described in the process of cleaning up polluted environments motor oils and the prospect of their ...

Effect of temperature on soil microbial structure and fractionation during C mineralization [PDF]

, 2008
Microbial carbon mineralization in soils leads to the production of different gaseous or dissolved components that have environmental impacts. Our study deals with the influence of soil temperature on the production of gaseous and dissolved carbon ...

Study on the electronic structure properties and Na diffusion dynamics of Ni doped NaMnO2

Electrochemistry Communications
P2-NaMnO2 layered oxide cathode material of sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) has a specific capacity of more than 200 mAh g−1, but there is a strong Jahn-Teller distortion that leads to structural instability.

Microbial mediation of complex subterranean mineral structures [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2015
AbstractHelictites—an enigmatic type of mineral structure occurring in some caves—differ from classical speleothems as they develop with orientations that defy gravity. While theories for helictite formation have been forwarded, their genesis remains equivocal.
