Structure and functional characterization of pyruvate decarboxylase from Gluconacetobacter diazotrophicus
(BioMed Central, 2014)
BACKGROUND: Bacterial pyruvate decarboxylases (PDC) are rare. Their role in ethanol production and in bacterially
mediated ethanologenic processes has, however, ensured a continued and growing interest. PDCs from ...
Selection of Clostridium spp. in biological sand filters neutralizing synthetic acid mine drainage
(Wiley, 2013)
In this study, three biological sand filter (BSF) were contaminated with a synthetic iron- [1500 mg L-1 Fe(II), 500 mg L-1 Fe(III)] and sulphate-rich (6000 mg L-1 SO2/4-) acid mine drainage (AMD) (pH = 2), for 24 days, to ...
Hypolithic and soil microbial community assembly along an aridity gradient in the Namib Desert
(Springer, 2013)
The Namib Dessert is considered the oldest desert in the world and hyperarid for the last 5 million years. However, the environmental buffering provided by quartz and other translucent rocks supports extensive hypolithic ...
Selection of diazotrophic bacterial communities in biological sand filter mesocosms used for the treatment of phenolic-laden wastewater
(Springer Verlag, 2013)
Agri effluents such as winery or olive mill waste-waters are characterized by high phenolic concentrations. These compounds are highly toxic and generally refractory to biodegradation. Biological sand filters (BSFs) represent ...
