Aims: Glucosaminoglucan (β-1,4-linked glucose and glucosamine) produced by a mixotrophic sulfur-oxidizing bacterium, Thiothrix nivea, is a useful cellulose-aminating agent. Lithotrophic and mixotrophic glucosaminoglucan production were examined using fed-batch techniques.
Methods And Results: A jar fermenter was used for the fed-batch cultivation.

The present study was aimed at assessing the impact of azoxystrobin-a fungicide commonly used in plant protection against pathogens (Amistar 250 SC)-on the soil microbiota and enzymes, as well as plant growth and development. The laboratory experiment was conducted in three analytical terms (30, 60, and 90 days) on sandy clay (pH-7.0).

Soil's biological equilibrium, disturbed by the uncontrolled penetration of pesticides, can be restored by the activity of native microorganisms, which show abilities in neutralizing these xenobiotics. Therefore, this research is necessary in the search for new microorganisms used in the process of the bioremediation of contaminated soils. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of the herbicides, Sulcogan 300 SC, Tezosar 500 SC, and Sulcotrek 500 SC, applied to soil at the manufacturers' recommended dosage as well as 10-fold higher, on the abundance of microorganisms, the diversity and structure of bacterial and fungal communities, the activity of soil enzymes, and the growth and development of L.

Owing to their wide range of applications in the control of ticks and insects in horticulture, forestry, agriculture and food production, pyrethroids pose a significant threat to the environment, including a risk to human health. Hence, it is extremely important to gain a sound understanding of the response of plants and changes in the soil microbiome induced by permethrin. The purpose of this study has been to show the diversity of microorganisms, activity of soil enzymes and growth of following the application of permethrin.
