This study aimed to detoxify and degrade the organometallic pollutants from distillery wastewater by using an autochthonous microbial community via biostimulation and bioaugmentation process. Results revealed that the wastewater contained high concentrations of the metals i.e. Fe-2403; Zn-210.15; Cr- 22.825; Cu-73.62; Mg-27.30; Ni-14.425; and Pb-17.33 (mg L). The biostimulation and bioaugmentation process resulted from a substantial reduction (50-70%) in the pollution load. Scanning electron microscopy analysis showed bacterial community and their relationship with complex organometallic pollutants during the chemical reactions. The major identified organic pollutants in the control (untreated) samples were acetic acid, Oxo-,trimethylsilyl ester [CAS], Hydrocinnamic acid, p-[Trimethylsiloxy]-trimethylsilyl ester and tetradecanoic acid, trimethylsilyl ester [CAS] while some new metabolic products were generated as a by-product in bioaugmentation process. Therefore, the study showed that biostimulation and bioaugmentation were successful bioremediation strategies for the detoxification of distillery wastewater and restoration of organometallic polluted sites.

Petroleum-derived contamination is a growing hazard for the Arctic Ocean and northern marine transportation corridors. In northern settings where the accessibility to oil spills can be limited, natural attenuation is the most promising remediation process. The goal of the presented research is to evaluate the impact of biodegradation on crude oil inside sea ice.

Anaerobic membrane bioreactor (AnMBR) is a promising technology for resource and energy recovery from wastewater owing to its high-quality effluent and methane production. However, membrane fouling and susceptible methanogenesis have ever compromised the AnMBR. This work attempted to mitigate membrane fouling and promote methane production simultaneously in AnMBR through bioaugmentation with a consortium consisting of both quorum quenching (QQ) bacteria and methanogens.

Mine waste can be transformed into technosol as an ecological strategy. Despite its importance to soil functions, biological activity is often overlooked. Biopolymers can serve as innovative tools for bioremediation, facilitating chemical reactions and creating networks to encapsulate contaminants.

Petroleum contamination remains a worldwide issue requiring cost-effective bioremediation techniques. However, establishing a universal bioremediation strategy for all types of oil-polluted sites is challenging. This difficulty arises from the heterogeneity of soil textures, the complexity of oil products, and the variations in local climate and environment across different oil-contaminated regions.

Article Synopsis
- Interpreting transcriptomic and metagenomic data from non-model microorganisms is complicated due to many unknown gene functions and sequences.
- This study introduced a microarray called Dehalochip to detect gene expression related to chloroethene degradation, successfully identifying key dechlorination genes in contaminated groundwater samples.
- The Dehalochip demonstrated sensitivity and specificity similar to quantitative PCR but is more suitable for in-situ applications, providing insights into microorganisms' roles and functional genes in environmentally harmful chloroethene degradation processes.
