TL;DR: The bioassays were presented to be sensitive indicators of soil quality and can be used to evaluate the quality of bioremediated soil and encouraged the need to combine the bioassay tests with chemical monitoring for evaluation of the bioremediation effectiveness and assessing of the contaminated/remediated soils.

TL;DR: In this paper, the diamond-like carbon-metal composite films exhibited passive behavior at open-circuit potentials and low corrosion rates were observed during testing in a phosphate-buffered saline electrolyte.

TL;DR: Metabolism of VC and ethene by strains AJ and TD is initiated by an alkene monooxygenase, and this process occurs at many but not all sites where groundwater is contaminated with chloroethenes.

TL;DR: Carbon nanotube composite films have been developed that exhibit unusual structural and biological properties as discussed by the authors, which are useful for inhibiting microorganism attachment and biofilm formation in hemodialysis catheters and other medical devices.

TL;DR: The study indicated that theUse of Vetiver grass coupled with the use of chelating soil amendments has considerable potential for use as a remedial strategy for lead-contaminated soils such as those associated with firing ranges.
