“…Eradication of metal pollutants from the environment has been a challenge for a long time. It is important to establish an efficient and low cost method for the removal of toxic pollutants including heavy metal ions (Sher et al 2020a). As conventional cleanup strategies are being used to remove the heavy metal ions from the polluted areas but these are expensive and feasible only in small areas.…”

In the present study, the arsenic bioremediation ability of Bacillus licheniformis (dubbed as A6) was determined. The strain was isolated from metal polluted wastewater and was identified on the basis of 16S rRNA sequence homology with accession number of KX 785,171. The bacterium showed resistance against multiple toxic heavy metals, and MIC against arsenic was 3000 µg/ml. Resistance of the bacterium against other toxic metal ions was 3000 µg/ml (Cr), 50 µg/ml (Hg), 1000 µg/ml (Mn), 4000 µg/ml (Se), 500 µg/ml (Pb), 100 µg/ml (Co), 70 µg/ml (Cd) and 100 µg/ml (Zn). The optimum growth temperature was 37 °C while pH was 7. The strain also showed resistance against commonly used antibiotics except ceftriaxone 30 µg and amoxicillin with clavulanic acid (2:1) 3 µg. B. licheniformis could oxidize arsenite into arsenate 86 and 98% after 48 and 96 h from the medium at optimum growth conditions. Due to its high oxidation potential, B. licheniformis can be used in the biological treatment of wastewater containing arsenic.

Kinkarakawa-gami wallpapers are unique works of art produced in Japan between 1870 and 1905 and exported in European countries, although only few examples are nowadays present in Europe. So far, neither the wallpapers nor the composing materials have been characterised, limiting the effective conservation–restoration of these artefacts accounting also for the potential deteriogen effects of microorganisms populating them. In the present study, four Kinkarakawa-gami wallpapers were analysed combining physical–chemical and microbiological approaches to obtain information regarding the artefacts’ manufacture, composition, dating, and their microbial community. The validity of these methodologies was verified through a fine in blind statistical analysis, which allowed to identify trends and similarities within these important artefacts. The evidence gathered indicated that these wallpapers were generated between 1885 and 1889, during the so-called industrial production period. A wide range of organic (proteinaceous binders, natural waxes, pigments, and vegetable lacquers) and inorganic (tin foil and pigments) substances were used for the artefacts’ manufacture, contributing to their overall complexity, which also reflects on the identification of a heterogeneous microbiota, often found in Eastern environmental matrices. Nevertheless, whether microorganisms inhabiting these wallpapers determined a detrimental or protective effect is not fully elucidated yet, thus constituting an aspect worth to be explored to deepen the knowledge needed for the conservation of Kinkarakawa-gami over time.

“…Since nanopore sequencing relies on electrical signals, it is necessary to improve accuracy and reduce cost. [ 108 ] Moreover, its data analysis and development technology are not as advanced as second‐generation sequencing, necessitating the development of more efficient calculation methods and analysis tools to enhance the identification of electrical signal characteristic peaks. Furthermore, there is a need to improve the conservation and reuse efficiency of biological nanopores and solve technical problems associated with the low signal‐to‐noise ratio of solid‐state nanopore.…”

Comprehensive SummaryEnvironmental pollution and the spread of pathogenic microorganisms pose a significant threat to the health of humans and the planet. Thus, understanding and detecting microorganisms is crucial for maintaining a healthy living environment. Nanopore sequencing is a single‐molecule detection method developed in the 1990s that has revolutionized various research fields. It offers several advantages over traditional sequencing methods, including low cost, label‐free, time‐saving detection speed, long sequencing reading, real‐time monitoring, convenient carrying, and other significant advantages. In this review, we summarize the technical principles and characteristics of nanopore sequencing and discuss its applications in amplicon sequencing, metagenome sequencing, and whole‐genome sequencing of environmental microorganisms, as well as its in situ application under some special circumstances. We also analyze the advantages and challenges of nanopore sequencing in microbiology research. Overall, nanopore sequencing has the potential to greatly enhance the detection and understanding of microorganisms in environmental research, but further developments are needed to overcome the current challenges.This article is protected by copyright.
