TL;DR: This review examines the current application of molecular techniques for the characterization of microbial communities in contaminated soil and water and methods that directly link microbial phylogeny to its ecological function at contaminated sites as well as high throughput methods for complex microbial community studies.

TL;DR: The multivariate analysis revealed that there is an association between PAHs and heavy metals which influenced biological properties in mixed contaminated soils which has major implications for the bioremediation of organic pollutants in metal-organic mixed contaminated sites.

TL;DR: Bacteria isolated from chromium and diesel contaminated sites were found to have the ability to rapidly reduce highly toxic concentrations of Cr(VI) to Cr(III) when grown in minimal medium supplemented with glucose as the sole carbon source.

TL;DR: Sequence analysis shows that MRS isolates from both healthy and diseased cats and dogs can harbor the mecA gene, and therefore the possibility of zoonotic transfer must be considered.

TL;DR: The potential of this bacterium to detoxify pesticide waste in the environment including the groundwater is demonstrated, and the cell-free preparation ofThis bacterium was highly effective in hydrolysing fenamiphos and its oxides.
