Journal ArticleDOI
Enhanced mutualistic symbiosis between soil phages and bacteria with elevated chromium-induced environmental stress.
TL;DR: This work results in a transformation of the phage-bacteria interaction from parasitism to protective mutualism in extreme environments, and underscores the influential role of phages in bacterial adaptation to pollution-related stress and in related biogeochemical processes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Control of Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria in Activated Sludge Using Polyvalent Phages in Conjunction with a Production Host
TL;DR: It is shown that polyvalent (broad-host-range) phages proliferate and thrive in activated sludge microcosms, especially when added along with their production hosts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phospholipid compositional changes of five pseudomonad archetypes grown with and without toluene
TL;DR: Changes in phospholipid composition and concentration probably reflect the sensitivity and degree of tolerance of these strains to toluene, and suggest that different mechanisms are utilized by dissimilar bacteria to maintain optimal lipid ordering in the presence of such environmental pollutants.
Journal ArticleDOI
1,4-Dioxane-degrading consortia can be enriched from uncontaminated soils: prevalence of Mycobacterium and soluble di-iron monooxygenase genes.
TL;DR: Dioxane‐degrading bacteria (and the associated natural attenuation potential) exist even in some uncontaminated soils, and may be enriched to broaden bioaugmentation options for sites experiencing insufficient dioxane catabolic capacity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Differential sensitivity of nitrifying bacteria to silver nanoparticles in activated sludge
TL;DR: Both 5 nm and 35’nm AgNPs decreased the diversity of AOB, as indicated by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis with ammonia monooxygenase gene (amoA) primers, although some unknown Nitrosomonas species were relatively resistant to AgNps.
