Microbial metabolism has the potential to alter the solubility of a broad range of priority
radionuclides, including uranium, other actinides and fission products. Of notable interest …

Actinomycetes have been proven to be an excellent source of secondary metabolites for
more than half a century. Exhibiting various bioactivities, they provide valuable approved …

Microorganisms mediate nutrient cycling in soils, and thus it is assumed that they largely
control responses of terrestrial ecosystems to anthropogenic nutrient inputs. Therefore, it is …

Present-day knowledge on the regulatory biology of denitrification is based on studies of
selected model organisms. These show large variations in their potential contribution to …

Acidification and pollution are two major threats to agricultural ecosystems; however,
microbial community responses to co-existed soil acidification and pollution remain less …

Biological sensors can be engineered to measure a wide range of environmental conditions.
Here we show that statistical analysis of DNA from natural microbial communities can be …

In rural domestic wastewater treatment using subsurface constructed wetland system
(SFCWs), the lack of a carbon source for denitrification and limited phosphorus uptake are …

Silver nano-particles (AgNPs) are widely used in a range of consumer products as a result of
their antimicrobial properties. Given the broad spectrum of uses, AgNPs have the potential …

Accumulating empirical evidence over the last 60 years has shown that the reduction of N2O
to N2 is impaired by low soil pH, suggesting that liming of acid soils may reduce N2O …

To ensure global food security, agriculture must increase productivity while reducing
environmental impacts associated with chemical nitrogen (N) fertilisation. This necessitates …
