Microorganisms are responsible for degrading the raw leachate generated in sanitary
landfills, extracting the soluble fraction of the landfill waste and biotransforming organic …

The landfill is a convenient and affordable method of municipal solid waste (MSW)
management. Landfill leachate contains a heavy load of pollutants and pathogens …

Landfills are the final repository for most of the discarded material from human society and
its “built environments.” Microorganisms subsequently degrade this discarded material in the …

Studies on the degradation dynamics of landfill leachate indicate that the microbial
community profile is a valuable and sensitive tool for landfill monitoring programs. Although …

Landfill leachate usually harbors complex microbial communities responsible for the
decomposition of municipal solid waste. However, the diversity and metabolic functions of …

A 16S rDNA-based molecular study was performed to determine the nature of the bacterial
constituents of the leachate from a closed municipal solid waste landfill. Total community …

Little is known regarding how bacterial communities assemble at landfill, as well as how the
environment shapes the composition of bacterial community. In this study, up to 42 refuse …

We analyzed the phylogenetic composition of bacterial community in the effluent leachate of
a full-scale recirculating landfill using a culture-independent molecular approach. 16S rRNA …

Refuse decomposition in landfills is a microbially mediated process that occurs primarily
under anaerobic conditions. Because of limited moisture conditions, hydraulic transport as a …

Although several works have been performed from an engineering point of view, a limited
number of studies have focused on microbial communities involved in the humification of …
