Bioprospecting of halotolerant bacteria from the Naama Sabkha (Algeria): hydrolytic enzyme potential and environmental integration perspectives

Heavy Metal-Tolerant Halophilic Microorganisms from a Hypersaline Lagoon: Promising Candidates for Bioremediation

Halophilic microorganisms are a valuable resource for the bioremediation of saline environments contaminated with heavy metals. This study investigated the microbiota that could be cultured in the hypersaline Laguna Rosa in Torrevieja, Alicante, Spain, by combining an analysis of microbial diversity with an evaluation...

SALINITY DEPENDENT PRODUCTION OF EXTRACELLULAR AMYLASE, PROTEASE, AND LIPASE BY HALOPHILIC MICROORGANISMS ISOLATED FROM A SALTPAN

Saltpan ecosystems are extreme hypersaline habitats that harbor diverse halophilic and halotolerant microorganisms capable of producing salt-stable enzymes with significant biotechnological potential. In the present study, microorganisms isolated from a solar saltpan were screened for extracellular amylase, protease, a...

Differential responses of Chlorella and Micractinium to algicidal bacteria in varying organic carbon environments

Tetracycline Biodegradation by Endophytic Providencia Alcalifaciens KAI2 from Acorus Calamus L.: Performance, Genomics, Pathways, and Applicability

This study provides a genome-informed and application-oriented assessment of TC biodegradation by an endophytic bacterium, and highlights KAI2 as a potential bioaugmentation candidate for antibiotic-contaminated water treatment.

Multifunctional Potential of Bacillus vallismortis C-305 for Cyanobacterial Bloom Suppression: Algicidal Activity, Organic Matter Transformation, and Plant Stress Mitigation.

Harmful algal blooms (HABs), particularly those caused by Microcystis aeruginosa, pose severe threats to aquatic ecosystems and agricultural irrigation safety. Biological control using algicidal bacteria offers an environmentally sustainable alternative to conventional mitigation strategies. In this study, a highly eff...

Metabolomic unravelling and RSM-assisted optimization of phenylpyrazole degradation by a novel soil-derived bacterial consortium FP-25

The empirical bioremediation propensity of phenylpyrazole insecticide-degrading bacteria is restrained by their low efficiency and low environmental resilience. In this study, we synthesized a novel microbial consortium, FP-25, comprising two indigenous strains—Pseudomonas sp. strain S4 and Agrobacterium sp. strain S6—...
