Bacteria in heavy metal contaminated soil: diversity, tolerance and use in remediation [PDF]
, 2010 The objectives of this project were to determine the bacterial diversity in a heavily contaminated metal region of Portugal. Both traditional and molecular based methods were used to identify tolerant strains and species. The most tolerant species were

Preferential attachment of Escherichia coli to different particle size fractions of an agricultural grassland soil. [PDF]
, 2007 This study reports on the attachment preference of a faecally derived bacterium, Escherichia coli, to soil particles of defined size fractions. In a batch sorption experiment using a clay loam soil it was found that 35% of introduced E.

Interactions between sewage sludge and the survival of pathogenic bacteria in soil [PDF]
, 2015 Sewage sludge is a potentially valuable resource that can enhance both the structure and fertility of soil. However, it can also harbour enteric pathogens which pose a significant socio-economic risk to society.

The Metabolism of Naphthalene by Soil Bacteria [PDF]
Journal of General Microbiology, 1954 SUMMARY: The early stages in the oxidation of naphthalene by five micro-organisms were investigated. In all the organisms. d-trans-1:2-dihydro-1:2-dihydroxy-naphthalene. salicylic acid and catechol appeared to be intermediate oxidation products.

In situ soil cementation with ureolytic bacteria by surface percolation [PDF]
, 2012 The possibility of using microbiological processes to improve the mechanical properties of soil by undisturbed in situ application has gained attention over recent years. This paper describes a new variation of in situ soil reinforcement technology based

Toward a census of bacteria in soil
PLoS Computational Biology, 2005 For more than a century, microbiologists have sought to determine the species richness of bacteria in soil, but the extreme complexity and unknown structure of soil microbial communities have obscured the answer. We developed a statistical model that makes the problem of estimating richness statistically accessible by evaluating the characteristics of ...

The Decomposition of Toluene by Soil Bacteria
Journal of General Microbiology, 1964 Summary: Strains of two bacteria, a Pseudomonas and an Achromobacter, which grow with toluene, benzene or certain other related aromatic compounds as sole carbon source were isolated from soil. The use of aromatic compounds by these bacteria was an induced phenomenon.

Legacy Effects on the Recovery of Soil Bacterial Communities from Extreme Temperature Perturbation
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017 The type and frequency of disturbances experienced by soil microbiomes is expected to increase given predicted global climate change scenarios and intensified anthropogenic pressures on ecosystems. While the direct effect of multiple disturbances to soil
