Construction of microbial consortia for microbial degradation of complex compounds

Zhibei Cao et al.

Summary: This review discusses the strategies and recent advances in using microbial consortia to degrade complex compounds, including plastics, petroleum, antibiotics, azo dyes, and pollutants in sewage. It is shown that microbial consortia have advantages over isolated bacteria as they are more adaptable and stable, and can provide a suitable catalytic environment for each enzyme. The development of synthetic biology and gene-editing tools allows the design of artificial microbial consortia systems that are more efficient, stable, and robust.

The investigation of bioremediation potential of Bacillus subtilis and B. thuringiensis isolates under controlled conditions in freshwater

Ayse Kalayci Kara et al.

Summary: Bioremediation using Bacillus isolates showed effective removal of pollutants in aquaculture-related water pollution. The study found that both single and multiple cultures of Bacillus isolates were successful in reducing phosphorus, ammonia-nitrogen, nitrite-nitrogen, and nitrate-nitrogen levels in the water. Additionally, the removal of various heavy metals was observed, with B. thuringiensis isolate showing greater effectiveness than B. subtilis.

Screening and Comparison of Lignin Degradation Microbial Consortia from Wooden Antiques

Wen Zhang et al.

Summary: This study screened four microbial consortia capable of degrading lignin from decayed wooden antiques, with J-6 showing the highest lignin degradation efficiency. The fungal consortium of J-6 was mainly composed of Saccharomycetales, while the bacterial consortium included Shinella sp., Cupriavidus sp., and Bosea sp. The superior performance of J-6 can be attributed to the synergistic effects of its microbial composition.
