“…Besides A. johnsonii (B4) and C. cellulovorans (B7), Trichococcus pasteurii (B11) appeared and strengthened to be the new dominant bacteria. A. johnsonii, C. cellulovorans, and T. pasteurii were common microorganisms in wastewater and were facultative anaerobe or anaerobe with a certain tolerance to harsh environmental conditions and the removal ability of pollutants (Malik et al, 2003;Lorenz et al, 2006;Xie et al, 2009). There were six dominant bacteria obtained at SP6, while three species, Streptosporangium roseum (B1), Mycobacterium sp.…”

“…The concentrations of COD, TN, TP, especially Zn and As, were high. Many heavy metals such as Pb, Ca, Cu, Zn, as well as As are common in polluted rivers (Lorenz et al, 2006;Han et al, 2013). Most of the heavy metal ions are deposited in the sediment because of adsorption, hydrolysis, and co-precipitation (Gaur et al, 2005).…”

“…Ghosh et al (2004) found that water-soluble forms of As were much more toxic than its insoluble forms. Long-term contamination with heavy metal and As could slow down bacterial growth, alter the soil microbial community composition, and exert a greater inhibitory effect on the enzymes' activities (Ghosh et al, 2004;Lorenz et al, 2006;Zhou et al, 2009;Han et al, 2013;Marabottini et al, 2013).…”

Pollution discharge disturbs the natural functions of water systems. The environmental microbial community composition and diversity are sensitive key indicators to the impact of water pollutant on the microbial ecology system over time. It is meaningful to develop a way to identify the microbial diversity related to heavy metal effects in evaluating river pollution. Water and sediment samples were collected from eight sections along the Tiaozi River where wastewater and sewage were discharged from Siping City in northeastern China. The main pollutants contents and microbial communities were analyzed. As the primary metal pollutants, zinc (Zn) and arsenic (As) were recorded at the maximum concentrations of 420 and 5.72 μg/L in the water, and 1704 and 1.92 mg/kg in the sediment, respectively. These pollutants posed a threat to the microbial community diversity as only a few species of bacteria and eukaryotes with strong resistance were detected through denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE). Acinetobacter johnsonii, Clostridium cellulovorans, and Trichococcus pasteurii were the dominant bacteria in the severely polluted areas. The massive reproduction of Limnodrilus hoffmeisteri almost depleted the dissolved oxygen (DO) and resulted in the decline of the aerobic bacteria. It was noted that the pollution reduced the microbial diversity but the L. hoffmeisteri mass increased as the dominant community, which led to the overconsuming of DO and anaerobic stinking water bodies. Water quality, concentrations of heavy metals, and the spatial distribution of microbial populations have obvious consistencies, which mean that the heavy metals in the river pose a serious stress on the microorganisms.

“…However, it is recognized that 90-99% of bacteria in natural environments cannot be cultivated by traditional methods and that many are viable but unculturable (Olsen and Bakken 1987). A culture-independent method, consisting of a denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) analysis of bacterial 16S rRNA genes PCR-amplified from DNA directly extracted from environmental samples (Muyzer et al 1993), demonstrated that the composition of bacterial species were influenced by the dynamics of environmental factors in terrestrial (Lorenz et al 2006) or aquatic environments (Suehiro et al 2006). However, little information is available on desert dust transport of unculturable bacteria.…”

The microbial communities transported by Asian desert dust (KOSA) events have attracted much attention as bioaerosols because the transported microorganisms are thought to influence the downwind ecosystems in Korea and Japan. We have analyzed bioaerosol samples collected at 10 and 800 m above the ground within the KOSA source area, Dunhuang City, China. The samples were studied by epifluorescent microscopy, revealing the presence of bacterial cells attached to mineral particles. The microorganisms in the bioaerosol samples were able to grow in media containing up to 20% NaCl, suggesting that bacteria tolerant to high salinities remain viable in the atmosphere. Phylogenetic analysis using 16S rDNA sequences revealed that halobacterial communities in the bioaerosol samples collected at both 10 and 800 m above the ground comprised a few bacterial species related to Bacillus pumilus and Staphylococcus spp. The active mixing processes of the boundary layer presumably transports viable halotolerant bacteria into the free atmosphere, where the long-range atmospheric transport of desert dust is frequently observed.

“…is known to be toxic for soil microbial biomass and activity (Renella et al 2002(Renella et al , 2005Xu et al 2013) and several studies have shown that Cd 2? concentrations affect soil microbial diversity under short-term cadmium stress (Chien et al 2008;Duan and Huang 2008;Fritze et al 2000;Gomes et al 2010;Lazzaro et al 2008;Lorenz et al 2006;Sheoran et al 2008;Zhang et al 2009). The aim of this work was to apply the pan-bacteriome model, as sum of a core and an accessory assemblage of bacteria taxa present in bacterial communities, to evaluate the dynamics of bacterial community composition in three soil mesocosms exposed to slightly different environmental conditions (concentrations of 0, 5 and 25 mg kg -1 of dried soil Cd 2? )…”
