Long-term microbial functional responses in soil contaminated with biofuel/fossil fuel blends triggered by different bioremediation treatments.

Environ Pollut

Divisão de Recursos Microbianos, Centro Pluridisciplinar de Pesquisas Químicas, Biológicas e Agrícolas (CPQBA), Universidade Estadual de Campinas (UNICAMP), CEP 13148-218, Paulínia, SP, Brasil.

The use of biofuel blends with fossil fuels is widespread globally, raising concerns over novel contamination types in environments impacted by these mixtures. This study investigates the microbial functional in soils contaminated by biofuel and fossil fuel blends and subjected to various bioremediation treatments. Using metagenomic analysis, it was compared hydrocarbon degradation functional profiles across areas polluted with ethanol/gasoline and biodiesel/diesel blends.

The number of human disease genes has dramatically increased over the past decade, largely fueled by ongoing advances in sequencing technologies. In parallel, the number of available clinical genetic tests has also increased, including the utilization of exome sequencing for undiagnosed diseases. Although most clinical sequencing tests have been centered on enrichment-based multigene panels and exome sequencing, the continued improvements in performance and throughput of genome sequencing suggest that this technology is emerging as a potential platform for routine clinical genetic testing.
