Microbial communities associated with the plant rhizosphere play an important role in carbon sequestration, regulation of nutrient cycling, and the efficient functioning of the ecosystem as a whole. The diversity of microorganisms inhabiting the plant rhizosphere and their complex interactions with the host plant significantly affect the morphology, physiology, growth, development, and health of plants. At the same time, it is known that the soil microbiome diversity is affected by the type of soil, the type of cu...

Today there is a serious environmental problem - global climate change, and one of the main reasons for this change is the release of so-called greenhouse gases, and primarily raw carbon dioxide. One strategy to reduce the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is to capture carbon dioxide from industrial emissions, since this is where the gas is found in high concentrations. In addition to physical and chemical methods, carbon dioxide capture is possible with the help of biological methods, for example...

Global climate change is one of the most acute environmental problems of our time. Among the methods of capturing CO2 in industrial emissions are chemical, physical and biological. The latter are based on the use of living organisms that absorb carbon dioxide in metabolic processes, and the subsequent use or burial of their biomass or their metabolic products. One variant of organisms used to capture carbon dioxide biotechnologically are microalgae. In the present study, the efficiency to capture carbon from the e...

The anthropogenic influence on petroleum reservoirs during oil extraction leads to the emergence of new electron acceptors and donors and exogenous microorganisms. Microbial biodegradation of hydrocarbons in petroleum reservoirs leads to a change of its composition, resulting in a decrease in its cost. The identification of microorganisms capable of in-situ degradation of hydrocarbons under reservoir conditions is critical to understand the role of microbes in hydrocarbon conversion. To analyze microbial biodegrad...
