The newly discovered bacteria, which belong to the genus Acetobacterium and are commonly found in wastewater environments, can cleave stubborn bonds.

Forests might be acting as a sink for airborne microplastics, offering humanity yet another crucial service.

“This ruling is a complete vindication of Evi Emmenegger,” said PEER Senior Counsel Peter Jenkins, noting that these lab malfunctions keep recurring because the USGS facilities are not independently accredited.

The study yielded encouraging findings on removing polystyrene and polymethyl methacrylate microplastics and nanoplastics.

Microbiology professor Mary Beth Leigh and the team found that planting grasses or adding fertilizer, or a combination of both, to a contaminated site had surprisingly persistent effects on the microbes associated with local vegetation.

A new solid, colloidal organic material (AquiFix) markedly improves remedial outcomes for in situ (i.e., in place) bio-barrier treatments designed to stop migrating CVOC plumes.

A research team at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) has managed to purify water containing uranium using a special kind of bacteria known as magnetotactic bacteria.

Redox Tech announced on Thursday that EOS Remediation – a premier provider of emulsified vegetable oil products – is now a Redox Tech company.

Understanding how microbes withstand exposure to heavy metal concentrations that are toxic to humans and other organisms is foundational to the development of effective bioremediation techniques.

Inside E. coli bacteria, researchers have found an enzyme, C-P lyase, that enables the microbe to degrade highly stable chemicals.
