Microbial functional diversity in four soils sampled in the vicinity of Wanda Glacier, Antarctic Peninsula, was determined using Biolog EcoPlates at 5°C and 25°C. Comparisons of the patterns of substrate utilization and the diversity index showed differences in community composition, reflecting the heterogeneous distribution of microorganisms in this environment. Differences in microbial divers...

Background: Antibiotics are essential to the treatment of diseases, but they have also brought about concerns in terms their environmental, economic, and health impacts. can be excreted unchanged form or as metabolites, which cause toxicity by contaminating different environmental compartments, including soil. Soil is a critical compartment due numerous functions it performs its direct impact o...

This paper presents a study on the microbial status of different fish species and their habitats in Bulgarian Black Sea area. The samples were collected period January 2021 until March 2021. we used this turbot ( Scophthalmus maximus ), round goby Neogobius melanostomus shore rockling Gaidropsarus mediterraneus ) European anchovy Engraulis encrasicolus ). BIOLOG system was for microbiological d...

The present study reports on the determination of antimicrobial activity lactic acid bacteria (LAB) isolated from Black sea mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis Lamarck, 1819. samples were collected in period August 2018 until March 2021. BIOLOG system was used for microbiological determination. From M. Lam. four species LAB - Sporolactobacillus kofuensis , Lactobacillus sakei Streptococcus galloly...

BACKGROUND The substrate, serving as carbon and energy source, is one of the major factors affecting the performance of microbial fuel cells (MFCs). We utilized BIOLOG system to rapidly screen substrates for electricigens, and further evaluated influence of these substrates on electricity generation of Shewanella loihica PV-4 in MFCs. RESULTS Three of most favorable substrates (lactate acid, ...
