TL;DR: This article reported the first description of biodegradation of the anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) by cold-adapted diesel oil-degrading microorganisms at low temperatures.

TL;DR: All silver-tolerant isolates were tested for silver accumulation capacity and mycelium destroyed by formaldehyde solution showed the same accumulation pattern, which would indicate a binding of silver to the surface of the cell.

TL;DR: On the basis of phenotypic and chemotaxonomic characteristics, phylogenetic analysis and DNA-DNA relatedness data, strain Cr6-08(T) is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Arthrobacter, for which the name Arth Robacter cryoconiti sp.

TL;DR: In this paper, a laboratory feasibility study on the bioremediation of hydrocarbon-contaminated soil from an Alpine former military site was conducted over a period of 30 weeks and the effects of temperature (10°C and 20°C) and of various biostimulation treatments (inorganic nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium fertilization and the two commercial products Inipol EAP22 and Terramend) versus natural attenuation on the loss of total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH), microbial activity (soil respiration) and community composition

TL;DR: Extracellular proteases from three psychrotrophic strains of Pseudomonas fluorescens were purified and characterized, and sensitivity to metalchelating agents indicates that P. fluorescenceens proteases are metalloproteases.
