TL;DR: The obtained results showed that the constructed MCHCA consortium is capable of efficient hydrolysis of maize silage, and increases biogas production by even 38%, depending on the inoculum used for methane fermentation.

TL;DR: Analysis of "natural" transconjugants showed that pSinA is functional (expresses arsenite oxidase) and is stably maintained in their cells after approximately 60 generations of growth under nonselective conditions, demonstrating that p SinA is a self-transferable, broad-host-range plasmid, which plays an important role in horizontal transfer of arsenic metabolism genes.

TL;DR: A metagenomic analysis of deeply sequenced methanogenic communities allowed for comparison of taxonomic and functional diversity as well as identification of microorganisms directly involved in various stages of methanogenesis pathways, which revealed hydrogenotrophic methanogens predominated in most native communities, whereas acetoclastic Methanosaeta seemed to be the key methanogen in the wastewater treatment plant.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe seasonal changes of microbial community composition in situ in different biocenoses on historical sandstone of the Northern Pergola in the Museum of King John III's Palace at Wilanow (Poland).

TL;DR: Functional analysis of the modified strains showed that the highest arsenite utilization rate are observed in the culture of strains harbouring both the plasmids pAIO1 and pARS1, and the strains were able to grow on arsenic-contaminated mine waters without any supplementation.
