“…Enhanced β -glucan synthase activities have been exhibited by mushroom species growing in OMW [128]. Moreover, Paracoccus thiocyanatus and Halothiobacillus neapolitanus strains are sulfur-oxidizing bacteria which have been isolated from alkaline TPOMW-based compost and can be used in compost acidification [129]. …”

Olive mill wastes (OMWs) are high-strength organic effluents, which upon disposal can degrade soil and water quality, negatively affecting aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. The main purpose of this review paper is to provide an up-to-date knowledge concerning the microbial communities identified over the past 20 years in olive mill wastes using both culture-dependent and independent approaches. A database survey of 16S rRNA gene sequences (585 records in total) obtained from olive mill waste environments revealed the dominance of members of Alphaproteobacteria, Betaproteobacteria, Gammaproteobacteria, Firmicutes, and Actinobacteria. Independent studies confirmed that OMW microbial communities' structure is cultivar dependant. On the other hand, the detection of fecal bacteria and other potential human pathogens in OMWs is of major concern and deserves further examination. Despite the fact that the degradation and detoxification of the olive mill wastes have been mostly investigated through the application of known bacterial and fungal species originated from other environmental sources, the biotechnological potential of indigenous microbiota should be further exploited in respect to olive mill waste bioremediation and inactivation of plant and human pathogens. The implementation of omic and metagenomic approaches will further elucidate disposal issues of olive mill wastes.

“…(e.g. Thiobacillus thioparus) in the same class Betaproteobacteria have been reported as the bacteria able to oxidize sulfide but not capable of degrading aromatic compounds (García-de-la-Fuente et al, 2011;Hallberg and Johnson, 2005;Luo et al, 2013;Ramírez et al, 2009). Dechloromonas sp., one type of chlorate-reducing bacteria (Nor et al, 2011;Schwarz et al, 2012), suggests a possible ability to degrade IBP although it has not been related to the degradation of aromatic compounds.…”

a b s t r a c tWidespread occurrence of trace pharmaceutical residues in aquatic environments is of great concerns due to the potential chronic toxicity of certain pharmaceuticals including ibuprofen on aquatic organisms even at environmental levels. In this study, the phytoextraction, phytotransformation and rhizodegradation of ibuprofen associated with Typha angustifolia were investigated in a horizontal subsurface flow constructed wetland system. The experimental wetland system consisted of a planted bed with Typha angustifolia and an unplanted bed (control) to treat ibuprofen-loaded wastewater (~107.2 mg L À1 ).Over a period of 342 days, ibuprofen was accumulated in leaf sheath and lamina tissues at a mean concentration of 160.7 ng g À1 , indicating the occurrence of the phytoextraction of ibuprofen. Root-uptake ibuprofen was partially transformed to ibuprofen carboxylic acid, 2-hydroxy ibuprofen and 1-hydroxy ibuprofen which were found to be 1374.9, 235.6 and 301.5 ng g À1 in the sheath, respectively, while they were 1051.1, 693.6 and 178.7 ng g À1 in the lamina. The findings from pyrosequencing analysis of the rhizosphere bacteria suggest that the Dechloromonas sp., the Clostridium sp. (e.g. Clostridium saccharobutylicum), the order Sphingobacteriales, and the Cytophaga sp. in the order Cytophagales were most probably responsible for the rhizodegradation of ibuprofen.

“…Physicochemical and chemical characteristics of the composts were determined as described by Fornes et al , and microbial respiration and microbial activity as described by García de la Fuente et al These results are shown in Table . Both composts were markedly alkaline, the pH being slightly higher in AH than in A. EC of A was high but in the range of other composts of vegetable or animal origin, while EC of AH was extremely high owing to the high concentration of soluble ions such as sulfate, K and Na.…”
