TL;DR: The vB_AspP-UFV1 (Podoviridae) interfered inBiofilm formation of most tested bacteria and may represent a good alternative in biofilm control and provide important information about the bacterial community from the feed water of a RO system that may be used for the development of strategies for biofilm prevention and control.

TL;DR: The results suggest that Syntrophus, Syntrophomonas, candidatus Atribacteria and Synergistia, in association with mainly acetoclastic methanogenic archaea of the genus Methanothrix, were collectively responsible for the oil biodegradation observed in the pristine petroleum well BA-1.

TL;DR: Clinical and molecular data of six patients from three inbred Brazilian families with 17α-hydroxlyse deficiency and the finding of p.W406R and p.R362C in the CYP17A1 gene here reported in additional families, confirms them as the most frequent mutations causing complete combined 17 α-Hydroxylase/17,20-lyase deficiency in Brazilian patients.

TL;DR: This work represents the first report of genome-centric approach to study biological reactors applied in anionic surfactant degradation, contributing with detailed metabolic information of the key microbial actors in LAS degradation and opening perspectives for future biotechnological strategies aiming at bioaugmentation and/or biostimulation of indigenous microbial populations.

TL;DR: The microbial diversity of feedwater and reverse osmosis membranes was investigated using a combination of culture-dependent and culture-independent methods in order to characterize the microorganisms colonizing and deteriorating the membranes.
