Domestic Wastewater Treatment as a Net Energy Producer–Can This be Achieved?
TL;DR: Newer membrane processes coupled with complete anaerobic treatment of wastewater offer the potential for wastewater treatment to become a net generator of energy, rather than the large energy consumer that it is today.

Immobilized microalgae for removing pollutants: review of practical aspects.
Luz E. de-Bashan,Yoav Bashan +1 more
TL;DR: This review analyzes the state-of-the-art of a specific niche in biological wastewater treatment that uses immobilized eukaryotic microalgae (and several prokaryotic photosynthetic cyanobacteria), with emphasis on removing nutrients with the support ofmicroalgae growth-promoting bacteria.

Phosphate solubilizing bacteria and their role in plant growth promotion
Hilda Rodríguez,Reynaldo Fraga +1 more
TL;DR: Genetic manipulation of phosphate-solubilizing bacteria to improve their ability to improve plant growth may include cloning genes involved in both mineral and organic phosphate solubilization, followed by their expression in selected rhizobacterial strains.

Organic acids in the rhizosphere: a critical review
TL;DR: In this article, a review of the role of organic acids in rhizosphere processes is presented, which includes information on organic acid levels in plants (concentrations, compartmentalisation, spatial aspects, synthesis), plant efflux (passive versus active transport, theoretical versus experimental considerations), soil reactions (soil solution concentrations, sorption) and microbial considerations (mineralization).

Microbiology and biochemistry of the enhanced biological phosphate removal process
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the microbiological and biochemical aspects of the enhanced biological phosphate removal (EBPR) process is presented, including microorganisms responsible for EBPR, isolation of polyphosphate accumulating organisms (PAOs), microbial diversity of the EBPR sludge, biochemical metabolisms of PAOs, energy budget in PAOs metabolism, denitrification by PAO, glycogen accumulating non-poly-P organisms (GAOs), etc.

Prospects for using soil microorganisms to improve the acquisition of phosphorus by plants
TL;DR: Promotion of growth of plants in soil, as a consequence of microbial inoculation, may not necessarily be associated with characteristics such as P solubilization, which are manifest under laboratory conditions.

Growth Promotion of Plants Inoculated with Phosphate-Solubilizing Fungi
TL;DR: Many soil fungi, predominantly of the genera Aspergillus and Penicillium, have been shown to possess the ability to solubilize sparingly soluble phosphates in vitro by secreting inorganic or organic acids.
