Microbial Strategies for the Degradation of Spent Lubricating Oil: A Comparative Study of Isolate Bacterium and Consortium Cultures

Water and Environment Journal, EarlyView.
This show the biodegradation of spent lubricating oil by Bacillus sp. and a marine bacterial consortium. The consortium showed higher growth, biosurfactant production and oil removal efficiency than the isolated strain, highlighting its potential for bioremediation ABSTRACT Spent automotive lubricating oil contains complex hydrocarbons and heavy metals,

Untargeted Metabolomics Coupled With Machine Learning Unravels Crop‐Specific Versus Generalized Effects of Biostimulants in Cucumber, Pepper, and Tomato

Physiologia Plantarum, Volume 178, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT In recent years, agricultural practices have shifted toward sustainability, aiming to reduce the use of agrochemicals and rely more on bio‐based solutions. However, the effectiveness of these latter suffers from inconsistency. Understanding how different crops respond to biostimulants, instead of referring to a specific trial or crop, is a ...
