Four nitrite-dissimilating strains, isolated from Weser Estuary sediments, were investigated using a polyphasic taxonomic approach. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that these strains belong to the 'Betaproteobacteria' and are related to the genus Alcaligenes. The highest level of sequence similarity (100 %) was found with strain M3A (=ATCC 700596), a dimethyl sulfide-producing marine isolate that was included in this study. DNA-DNA hybridizations between the five strains and related Alcaligenes faecalis strains confirmed that the former belong to a single and novel species within the genus Alcaligenes. The isolates are Gram-negative, motile, rod-shaped cells with a DNA G+C content of about 56 mol%. The whole-cell fatty acid profiles of the isolates were very similar and included C(16 : 0), C(17 : 0) cyclo, C(18 : 1)omega7c, summed feature 2 (comprising any combination of C(12 : 0) aldehyde, an unknown fatty acid of equivalent chain length 10.928, C(16 : 1) iso I and C(14 : 0) 3-OH) and summed feature 3 (C(15 : 0) iso 2-OH and/or C(16 : 1)omega7c) as the major fatty acid components. On the basis of their phylogenetic, genomic and phenotypic properties, the five novel strains can be assigned to the genus Alcaligenes as a novel species, for which the name Alcaligenes aquatilis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is LMG 22996T (=CCUG 50924T).

The recruitment of the phosphorus-solubilizing rhizobacteria plays an important role in response to phosphorus deficiency. Through the treatments of Arabidopsis thaliana (Col-0) and the FERONIA (FER) functional deficient mutants (fer-4 and fer-5) with the soil suspension in various phosphorus conditions, we discovered that FER could promote phosphorus-solubilizing rhizobacteria enrichment to rescue the defective plant during phosphorus deficiency. The amplicon sequencing data reflected that the phosphorus-solubilizing rhizobacterial genus Alcaligenes was significantly enriched of Col-0 than fer-4 in low phosphorus conditions.

Bioaerosol studies showed that wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are a significant source of bioaerosol emissions. In this study, 170 samples of total bacteria, total coliform, and total fungi were collected from 10 sites within a domestic WWTP, Alexandria, Egypt, using the sedimentation technique. According to the Index of Microbial Air Contamination (IMA) classes, the total bacteria range was 108-5120 CFU/dm/hour, and all samples were classified as "very poor" except one sample of an office, which was classified as "poor.

Microbial ammonia oxidation plays an important role in nitrogen (N) cycling in natural and man-made systems. Heterotrophic microorganisms that oxidize ammonia were observed more than a century ago; however, the underlying molecular mechanism of ammonia oxidation is still mysterious. Dirammox (direct ammonia oxidation to N) is a newly described heterotrophic ammonia oxidation process in which ammonia or its organic amine is oxidized into hydroxylamine and then directly converted to N gas without the involvement of nitrite and nitrate.

Hydrogen (H) energy has garnered significant attention due to its numerous advantages. Nonetheless, for future commercialization, it is imperative to screen and identify strains with enhanced H-producing capacities. In order to attain a high and consistent production performance, the conversion of biomass sources into H requires careful selection of the most appropriate H-producing bacteria.

Article Synopsis
- Electrolytic manganese residue (EMR) contains toxic heavy metals like Mn, Zn, Cu, and Cd, which can harm the environment.
- The study tested the combined effects of two bacteria, Pseudomonas putida and Pseudomonas alcaligenes, finding that their synergy improved the stability and precipitation of Mn ions compared to using each one alone.
- After 12 days of fermentation, nearly all Mn ions were removed, and the levels of Zn, Cu, and Cd decreased significantly, suggesting this method could be an eco-friendly approach to manage EMR.
