Abstract
The dinoflagellate Noctiluca scintillans is a harmful algal species that is globally distributed and poses a certain threat to marine ecosystems. Recent research has shown that the application of algicidal bacteria is a promising method to prevent and control such harmful algal blooms (HABs), given its advantages of safety and efficiency. In this study, a strain of algicidal bacterium LD-B6 with high efficiency against N. scintillans was isolated from the coastal waters of Lianyungang, China. 16S rDNA sequence analysis showed that the strain LD-B6 belongs to the genus Pseudoalteromonas. Furthermore, the algicidal effect of LD-B6 on N. scintillans was investigated. The results showed that strain LD-B6 exerted strong algicidal activity against N. scintillans. After 12 h of bacterial culture addition to algal cultures at a 2% final volume rate, the algicidal activity reached 90.5%, and the algicidal activity of LD-B6 was influenced by the density of N. scintillans. In addition, the algicidal bacterium LD-B6 was found to indirectly lyse algal cells by secreting extracellular compounds. These algicidal compounds were stable, indicating that they are not proteins. Importantly, strain LD-B6 was broadly general, showing varying degrees of lysing effects against five of the six algal species tested. On the basis of the described studies above, the algicidal powder was also initially developed. In summary, the isolated bacterial strain LD-B6 shows the potent algicidal capability to serve as a candidate algicidal bacterium against N. scintillans blooms.

Abstract
This study investigated the utilization of agricultural matrices as the support materials for cell immobilization to improve the technique of bioremediation. Coir, bulrush, banana stem and water hyacinth stem in both delignified and undelignified forms were used to immobilize Burkholderia cepacia PCL3 in bioremediation of carbofuran at 5 mg l(-1) in synthetic wastewater. Undelignified coir was found to be the most suitable support material for cell immobilization, giving the short half-life of carbofuran of 3.40 d (2.8 times shorter than the treatments with free cells). In addition, it could be reused three times without a loss in ability to degrade carbofuran. The growth and degradation ability of free cells were completely inhibited at the initial carbofuran concentrations of 250 mg l(-1), while there was no inhibitory effect of carbofuran on the immobilized cells. The results indicated a great potential for using the agricultural matrices as support material for cell immobilization to improve the overall efficiency of carbofuran bioremediation in contaminated water by B. cepacia PCL3.

Abstract
A bacterial strain, BW003, which utilized quinoline as its sole C, N and energy source, was isolated and identified as Pseudomonas sp. BW003 degraded 192-911 mg/l quinoline within 3-8 h with removal rates ranging from 96% to 98%. The optimum conditions for the degradation were 30 degrees C and pH 8. In the process of biodegradation, at least 43% of quinoline was transformed into 2-hydroxyquinoline, then 0.69% of 2-hydroxyquinoline was transformed into 2,8-dihydroxyquinoline, and then, presumably, into 8-hydroxycoumarin. Meanwhile, at least 48% of the nitrogen in quinoline was directly transformed into ammonia-N. An extra carbon source enhanced the nitrogen transformation from ammonia-N. Further experiments showed that, besides cell synthesis, BW003 transformed less than 6% of ammonia-N into nitrate through heterotrophic nitrification. In addition, BW003 contained a large plasmid, which may be involved in quinoline metabolism. The study indicates that quinoline and its metabolic products can be eliminated from wastewater by controlling the C/N ratio using BW003 as the bioaugmentation inoculum.

Abstract
Background The β-proteobacterial species Comamonas testosteroni is capable of biotransformation and also biodegradation of a range of chemical compounds and thus potentially useful in chemical manufacturing and bioremediation. The ability to detect and quantify members of this species in mixed microbial communities thus may be desirable. Results We have designed an oligonucleotide probe for use in fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) and two pairs of PCR primers targeting a C. testosteroni subgroup. The FISH probe and one of the PCR primer pairs are suitable for quantification of C. testosteroni in mixed microbial communities using FISH followed by quantitative image analysis or real-time quantitative PCR, respectively. This has been shown by analysis of samples from an enrichment of activated sludge on testosterone resulting in an increase in abundance and finally isolation of C. testosteroni. Additionally, we have successfully used quantitative PCR to follow the C. testosteroni abundance during a laboratory scale wastewater bioaugmentation experiment. Conclusion The oligonucleotides presented here provide a useful tool to study C. testosteroni population dynamics in mixed microbial communities.
