Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of nested PCR–DGGE (denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis) with group-specific 16S rRNA primers for the analysis of bacterial communities from different wastewater treatment plants
TL;DR: It was shown that the combination of molecular and statistical methods can be very useful to differentiate microbial communities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genomics of IncP-1 antibiotic resistance plasmids isolated from wastewater treatment plants provides evidence for a widely accessible drug resistance gene pool
TL;DR: Findings derived from genomic analysis of IncP-1 resistance plasmids isolated from WWTP bacteria reveal that animal, human and plant pathogens and other bacteria isolated from different habitats share a common pool of resistance determinants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of phenylurea herbicides on soil microbial communities estimated by analysis of 16S rRNA gene fingerprints and community-level physiological profiles
TL;DR: It is shown that both the structure and metabolic potential of soil microbial communities were clearly affected by a long-term application of urea herbicides.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bioaugmentation of Activated Sludge by an Indigenous 3-Chloroaniline-Degrading Comamonas testosteroni Strain, I2gfp
TL;DR: The results indicate that bioaugmentation, even with a strain originating from that ecosystem and able to effectively grow on a selective substrate, is not permanent and will probably require regular resupplementation.
Journal ArticleDOI
The role of mobile genetic elements in bacterial adaptation to xenobiotic organic compounds.
Eva M. Top,Dirk Springael +1 more
TL;DR: Direct evidence for the importance ofCatabolic MGEs in bacterial adaptation to xenobiotics stems from observed correlations between catabolic gene transfer and accelerated biodegradation in several habitats and from studies that monitor catabolic M GEs in polluted sites.
