Intertidal ecosystems are affected by severe nitrogen (N) pollution as a result of anthropogenic activities, and it is unclear how this may affect intertidal microbial communities, which play critical roles in regulating biogeochemical cycles. To address gap, we conducted two-month mesocosm experiment using six targeted concentrations total N. The findings indicated that N entering seawaters ha...

In the present study, the feasibility to use phosphate solubilizing bacteria (PSB) to develop a biological leaching process of rare earth elements (REE) from monazite-bearing ore was determined. To predict the REE leaching capacity of bacteria, the phosphate solubilizing abilities of 10 species of PSB were determined by halo zone formation on Reyes minimal agar media supplemented with bromo cre...

Soil salinization is a serious ecological problem. Bacteria and cyanobacteria both have great potential for saline-alkali soil improvement. However, the effect of co-applying bacteria on improvement crop growth promotion in remains unclear. In this study, effects Paenibacillus sabinae (potassium-solubilizing bacteria) Leptolyngbya sp. RBD05 (cyanobacteria), produced brewery wastewater, properti...

Different groups of microorganisms are present in mangrove areas, and they perform complex interactions for nutrient and ecological balances. Since little is known about microbial populations in mangroves, this study analyzed the microbial community structure and function in relation to soil physico-chemical properties in Bhitarkanika, a tropical mangrove ecosystem in India. Spatial and seasona...
