在基于土壤柱实验的红树林土壤中对有机酸迁移和转化的模拟

Bioremediation is the use of prokaryotes, fungi, or plants to remove pollutants from the environment. This process has been used to remove harmful toxins in groundwater as a byproduct of agricultural run-off and also to clean up oil spills.

A Winogradsky column provides a powerful tool for studying microbial ecology and metabolic interactions in a stratified, self-contained environment. This artificial ecosystem, developed by Sergei Winogradsky in the late 19th century, replicates the complex biogeochemical gradients found in natural sediments, allowing researchers to observe microbial succession and interactions over time.The column is typically assembled in a transparent glass cylinder filled halfway with sediment mixed with...

Soil microbial ecology is defined by highly diverse, spatially structured communities that drive nutrient cycling, organic matter turnover, and overall ecosystem stability. Although a gram of soil can contain thousands of bacterial and archaeal taxa, the ecological processes they mediate are even more crucial for sustaining terrestrial life.Microhabitats and NichesSoil is a heterogeneous mixture of minerals, organic matter, water, and air. Microbes inhabit distinct microhabitats formed by...
