This study aims to evaluate the effects of different environmental gradients and seasonality on the bacterial communities of an impacted coastal lagoon. While the community compositions were homogenous in surface waters with the dominance of Candidatus Pelagibacter, diversity showed high vertical variation due to salinity and dissolved oxygen gradients. Anoxic conditions occurred at deeper parts of the lagoon, particularly at 14 m and 18 m, where nutrient enrichment and high HS concentration were detected resulting in a shift of bacterial community to anoxic species.

- Monitoring drinking water quality is essential for public health, especially due to taste and odor (T&O) issues that erode trust in water sources.
- The study focuses on geosmin and 2-methylisoborneol (2-MIB), compounds causing T&O problems, and their production dynamics in a mesotrophic lake, revealing correlations with environmental factors like temperature and depth.
- Key bacterial communities were identified through advanced techniques as both producers and degraders of these compounds, emphasizing their influence on T&O dynamics and overall water quality.
Article Synopsis
- - This study analyzed the microbial communities (bacteria, methanogenic archaea, and eukaryotes) in the guts of Pachnoda marginata larvae, specifically comparing the midgut and hindgut using sequencing methods.
- - The composition of these microbial communities varied significantly between gut sections and was influenced by the larvae's diet, with different bacterial families dominating in the midgut depending on whether they fed on leaves or straw.
- - Methanogenic communities also differed between gut compartments, showing higher diversity in the midgut compared to the hindgut, which was more specialized to the host; midgut communities resembled those found in the surrounding soil.
The hydrodynamic disintegration process depends, among others, on operational parameters like rotational speed or introduced energy. The study presents an interdisciplinary approach to the hydrodynamic disintegration parameters impact assessment on the internal processes and disintegration effects on the example of sewage sludge treatment. Three rotational speeds were considered, including fluid properties change at selected disintegration stages.

Despite the emergence of anaerobic digestion as a superior alternative to the aerobic method for lignin processing, achieving its feasibility requires thorough characterization of lignin-degrading anaerobic microorganisms, assessment of their biomethane production potential, and a comprehensive understanding of the degradation pathway. This study aimed to address the aforementioned necessities by bioaugmenting seed sludge with three distinct enriched lignin-degrading microbial consortia at both 25 °C and 37 °C.
