An oxadiazon-degrading bacterial, Pseudomonas strain CG5, was isolated from an agricultural contaminated soil. This strain CG5 was able to grow on 10mg of oxadiazon per l, yielding 5.18+/-0.2 mg of protein biomass mol(-1). GC-MS analyses of the metabolites from oxadiazon catabolism revealed its dehalogenation and degradation to form non-toxic end-products, cells were then immobilized by adsorption on a ceramic support to be used as biocatalysts in herbicide removal biofilm-reactor processes. Seventy-two per cent of the oxadiazon was removed, and the maximum specific substrate uptake rate was 10.63+/-0.5 microg h(-1) mg(-1) prot. A new mathematical model was developed to interpret and predict the behaviour of the bacteria and pollutants in a biofilm-reactor system, to consider biofilm structural and morphological properties.

Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are dioxin-like pollutants that cause persistent harm to life. Organohalide-respiring bacteria (OHRB) can detoxify PCBs via reductive dechlorination, but individual OHRB are potent in dechlorinating only specific PCB congeners, restricting the extent of PCB dechlorination. Moreover, the low biomass of OHRB frequently leads to the slow natural attenuation of PCBs at contaminated sites.

Article Synopsis
- Corynebacterium striatum is gaining attention for its antimicrobial resistance and role in infections, prompting the need for better genotyping methods to track its spread.
- The study introduces a core genome multilocus sequence typing (cgMLST) scheme targeting 1,795 genes, improving on traditional methods by offering greater discrimination and congruence with single-nucleotide polymorphism typing.
- Through this new scheme, researchers identified several clonal groups associated with high virulence and drug resistance, providing insights into the epidemiology and potential outbreaks of C. striatum in healthcare settings.

This study presents the isolation of a novel strain of Dehalococcoides mccartyi, NIT01, which can completely dechlorinate up to 4.0 mM of trichloroethene to ethene via 1,2-cis-dichroroethene and vinyl chloride within 25 days. Strain NIT01 dechlorinated chloroethenes (CEs) at a temperature range of 25-32 °C and pH range of 6.

Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) contaminate 19% of US Superfund sites and represent a serious risk to human and environmental health. One promising strategy to remediate PCB-contaminated sediments utilizes organohalide-respiring bacteria (OHRB) that dechlorinate PCBs.However, functional genes that act as biomarkers for PCB dechlorination processes (i.
