It is well known that individual pea ( L.) cultivars differ in their symbiotic responsivity. This trait is typically manifested with an increase in seed weights, due to inoculation with rhizobial bacteria and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi.

Adding of efficient hydrolytic microorganisms should be able to enhance compost-specific microbial activity, adjust microbial community structure, and potentially hasten FW biodegradation. This study aimed to identify bacterial and fungal strains with growth characteristics suitable for accelerating FW composting.

To improve the efficiency of terpenes removal, which constitute a significant part of VOCs, pure cultures of microorganisms dominating in its microbiota were isolated from the microbial community of the biofilter, which has been cleaning such emissions for a long time. Seven pure cultures were isolated and then tested for being able to grow on a mineral medium in the presence of terpene vapor as the only source of carbon and energy.
