Mixed cultures of anaerobic bacteria fermented both coniferous and deciduous wood sawdust, with concomitant methane production. A consistently greater lag in methanogenesis was observed on coniferous as compared to deciduous wood. Arabinose, glucose, galactose, mannose, rhamnose and xylose when added to enrichment cultures had either no effect or a slight stimulation of CH4 production in the ab...

This study investigated the potential of indigenous endophytic bacteria to improve the efficiency of the wetland helophyte Juncus acutus to deal with a mixed pollution consisting of emerging organic contaminants (EOCs) and metals. The beneficial effect of bioaugmentation with selected endophytic bacteria was more prominent in case of high contamination: most of the inoculated plants (especially...
