A majority of the Mycobacterium species, called the nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM),
are natural inhabitants of natural waters, engineered water systems, and soils. As a …

Non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are paradigmatic colonizers of the total environment,
circulating at the interfaces of the atmosphere, lithosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere, and …

So far, only members of the bacterial phyla Proteobacteria and Verrucomicrobia are known
to grow methanotrophically under aerobic conditions. Here we report that this metabolic trait …

In this study, a semi-pilot scale biotrickling filter (BTF) was operated in a continuous co-
current mode to remove high concentration of hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) at optimum …

Actinobacteria are ubiquitous in soil, freshwater and marine ecosystems. Although various
studies have focused on the microbial ecology of this phylum, data are scant on the ecology …

Mycobacteria are associated with a number of well‐characterized diseases, yet we know
little about their stress biology in natural ecosystems. This study focuses on the isolation and …

Given the emergence and spread of multidrug-resistant and extensively drug-resistant
strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), the world faces the urgency of finding new …

Los Azufres spa consists of a hydrothermal spring system in the Mexican Volcanic Axis. Five
samples (two microbial mats, two mud pools and one cenote water), characterized by high …

Over the last 30 years, there have been at least 17 published reports of nontuberculous
mycobacteria (NTMs) being isolated from hospital ice or ice-making machines. Of these, 12 …

By using an enriched microbial community, repeated-batch processes for bioleaching of
chromium from tannery sludge was set up. The effects of batch-feeding ratio (FR) and sludge …
