Bacteria associated with Zn-hyperaccumulators Arabidopsis halleri and Arabidopsis arenosa from Zn-Pb-Cd waste heaps in Poland as promising tools for bioremediation.

To identify metal adapted bacteria equipped with traits positively influencing the growth of two hyperaccumulator plant species Arabidopsis arenosa and Arabidopsis halleri, we isolated bacteria inhabiting rhizosphere and vegetative tissues (roots, basal and stem leaves) of plants growing on two old Zn-Pb-Cd waste heaps in Bolesław and Bukowno (S. Poland), and characterized their potential plant growth promoting (PGP) traits as well as determined metal concentrations in rhizosphere and plant tissues. To determine taxonomic position of 144 bacterial isolates, 16S rDNA Sanger sequencing was used.

How have waste management policies impacted the flow of municipal waste? An empirical analysis of 14 European countries.

Waste management policies aim to divert waste from lower positions on the waste hierarchy such as landfill and incineration to higher positions in the hierarchy such as energy recovery and recycling. However, empirical evaluations of such policies are scarce. This study highlighted the effect of waste management policies on the amount of waste treated with landfill, incineration, energy recovery and recycling by analysing a panel dataset consisting of 14 European countries and the period 1996 to 2018.

An Alliance of - bv. -Mycorrhizal Fungi From an Old Zn-Pb-Cd Rich Waste Heap as a Promising Tripartite System for Phytostabilization of Metal Polluted Soils.

The Bolesław waste heap in South Poland, with total soil Zn concentrations higher than 50,000 mg kg, 5,000 mg Pb kg, and 500 mg Cd kg, is a unique habitat for metallicolous plants, such as L. The purpose of this study was to characterize the association between and its microbial symbionts, i.e.

The effect of multisensory-adapted dental environment on children's behavior toward dental treatment: A systematic review.

Objective: The objective was to assess the effectiveness of multisensory-adapted environment on children's behavior toward dental treatment, specifically in special need children.

Materials And Methods: The main health databases were selected such as SCOPUS, Medline, CINAHL, and Dentistry and Oral Sciences. A set of keywords was defined to identify the relevant article were (i.

Exopolysaccharide Carbohydrate Structure and Biofilm Formation by bv. Strains Inhabiting Nodules of Growing on an Old Zn-Pb-Cd-Polluted Waste Heap Area.

Heavy metals polluting the 100-year-old waste heap in Bolesław (Poland) are acting as a natural selection factor and may contribute to adaptations of organisms living in this area, including and its root nodule microsymbionts-rhizobia. Exopolysaccharides (EPS), exuded extracellularly and associated with bacterial cell walls, possess variable structures depending on environmental conditions; they can bind metals and are involved in biofilm formation. In order to examine the effects of long-term exposure to metal pollution on EPS structure and biofilm formation of rhizobia, bv.
