Bacteria play important roles in mineral weathering, soil formation, and element cycling.
However, little is known about the interaction between silicate minerals and rhizobia. In this …

Acidobacteriota are one of the major prokaryotic groups in soils and peatlands. They are
especially abundant in acidic peat bogs, where representatives of the well-characterized …

Minerals constitute an ecological niche poorly investigated in the soil, in spite of their
important role in biogeochemical cycles and plant nutrition. To evaluate the impact of …

Thermophilic bacteria have been isolated from several terrestrial, marine and industrial
environments. Anaerobic digesters treating organic wastes are often an important source of …

For tolerating extreme desiccation, cyanobacteria are known to produce both compatible
solutes at intracellular level and a copious amount of exopolysaccharides as a protective …

Geobacter sulfurreducens is a model bacterium to study the degradation of organic
compounds coupled to the reduction of Fe (III). The response of G. sulfurreducens to the …

Chthonomonas calidirosea T49T is a low-abundance, carbohydrate-scavenging, and
thermophilic soil bacterium with a seemingly disorganized genome. We hypothesized that …

The bacterial genus Collimonas has the remarkable characteristic that it grows at the
expense of living fungal hyphae under laboratory conditions. Here, we report the first field …

Forced aeration is one of the major energy consumption factors of the bioleaching process
of run-of-mine ore. The effect of aeration in the microbial community has scarcely been …

Abstract Dichloromethane (DCM; CH2Cl2) is a toxic groundwater pollutant that also has a
detrimental effect on atmospheric ozone levels. As a dense non-aqueous phase liquid, DCM …
