The recent rate of emergence of pathogenic fungi that are resistant to the limited number of
commonly used antifungal agents is unprecedented. The azoles, for example, are used not …

The fate of organic pollutants in environmental matrices can be determined by degradation
and humification. The humification process represents a promising strategy to remove …

Plastics are invading nearly all ecosystems on earth, acting as emerging repositories for
toxic organic pollutants and thereby imposing substantial threats to ecological integrity. The …

Prokaryotes in natural environments respond rapidly to high concentrations of chemicals
and physical stresses. Exposure to anthropogenic toxic substances—such as oil, chlorinated …

Background The deep sea harbors the majority of the microbial biomass in the ocean and is
a key site for organic matter (OM) remineralization and storage in the biosphere. Microbial …

Humic acid (HA) as one class of macromolecular substances plays important roles in
mediating environmental behaviors of pollutants in sediments, but its effect on microbial …

Halogenated organics are widely used in modern industry, agriculture, and medicine, and
their large-scale emissions have led to soil and water pollution. Electrochemical methods …

Organohalide-respiring bacteria are key organisms for the bioremediation of soils and
aquifers contaminated with halogenated organic compounds. The major players in this …

Obligate and non-obligate organohalide-respiring bacteria (OHRB) play central roles in the
geochemical cycling and environmental bioremediation of organohalides. Their coexistence …

An open question in environmental ecology regards the mechanisms triggered by root
chemistry to drive the assembly and functionality of a beneficial microbiome to rapidly adapt …
