Bioaugmentation process for PAHs contaminated soil remediation through microbial inocula from anaerobic treatment of lignocellulosic substrate
(Corresponding) Ferraro A., Massini G., Mazzurco Miritana V., Panico A., Pontoni L., Race M., Rosa S., Signorini A., Fabbricino M., Pirozzi F.
Topic:
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
In the present work, an anaerobic bioremediation treatment was investigated for reclamation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) contaminated soil. The PAHs contaminated soil was artificially prepared and seven different contamination conditions were tested. In particular, four soils were...Read more
Cloning and sequencing of the gene encoding the enzyme for the reductive cleavage of diaryl ether bonds of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) in Geobacillus thermodenitrificans UZO 3
(Corresponding) Suzuki Y., Nakamura M., Otsuka Y., Sato-Izawa K., Hishiyama S., Kameyama K., Kameyama T., Takahashi A., Katayama Y.
Topic:
Environmental biotechnology and bioenergy
We have previously reported that a cell-free extract prepared from Geobacillus thermodenitrificans UZO 3 reductively cleaves diaryl ether bonds of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (2,3,7,8-TCDD), a dioxin with the highest toxicity, in a sequential fashion producing 3’,4’,4,5-tetrachloro-2-...Read more
Biodegradation of pharmaceuticals by bacteria isolated from estuarine environment - cleanup technologies through nature based processes
(Corresponding) Fernandes J., Duarte P., Almeida C., Carvalho M., Mucha A.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
New sustainable technologies are needed to tackle pharmaceuticals contamination in different environmental compartments. Bioremediation technology, using native microorganisms with capacity for partial or complete elimination of contaminants, can be considered. This work investigated the capability...Read more
A pilot test in Eastern Bohemia for chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons groundwater remediation
Silvestri D., (Corresponding) WACŁAWEK S., STEJSKAL V., VLKOVA D., KVAPIL P., KOHOUT P., HRABAK P., (Corresponding) ČERNÍK M.
Topic:
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
The bioremediation of chlorinated solvents is considered as cheap and eco-friendly approach, among the bioremediation techniques the stimulation of organohalide-respiring bacteria by adding substrates is considered as one of the most popular methods. Application of cheese whey was performed in...Read more
In-situ bioremediation of groundwater polluted with Cr(VI) under anaerobic conditions
Galani A., Anastopoulou P., Noutsopoulos C., (Corresponding) Mamais D.
Topic:
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
The natural capacity of several microbes to reduce Cr(VI) to Cr(III) has been considered of much interest in order to remediate soil and groundwater polluted with Cr(VI). The objective of this work is to evaluate the enhancement of the activity of indigenous Cr(VI) reducing bacteria by the addition...Read more
The building façade as an active skin: Water bio-remediation through a probiotic layer system
Almpani-Lekka D., (Corresponding) Zavoleas Y.
Topic:
Sustainable water resources management with nature-based solutions
In 2020, the United Nations demonstrated that the building sector is responsible for 38% of all energy-related CO2 emissions [1]. Architecture as an invasive practice, bears a responsibility and the capacity to minimize its negative ecological impact. This study investigates alternative...Read more

Selection of bacterial strains to bioaugment granular sludge and improve the removal of recalcitrant pollutants
(Corresponding) Carlier J., Lara-Moreno A., Ngonyani A., Martins A., Villagomez A., Igbodo B., Cox C., Ismail F., Marín-Beltrán I., Palma T., Costa M.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
Several advantages are gained by the use of granular sludge in wastewater treatment plants (WWTP), such as higher biomass retention, faster settling properties, lower energy costs and smaller operational land space. However, relatively few studies have been carried out on the biodegradation of...Read more
