Bacterial communities involved in the anaerobic digestion of conventional substrates such as maize silage combined with cattle manure were relatively stable and similar to each other, whereas special waste materials were digested by very distinct and less diverse communities, indicating partial ammonia inhibition or the influence of other inhibiting factors.

A functional model for syntrophic benzene degradation under sulfate-reducing conditions is proposed and this organism appears to be specific for benzene as a growth substrate and might play a key role in Benzene degradation in both communities.

A novel fluorescent staining technique for the quantitative detection of polyphosphate granules on the cellular level was developed and allows fast and convenient monitoring of the growth and polyph phosphate accumulation dynamics of not-yet-cultivated bacteria in wastewater bacterial communities.

The hypothesis that benzene is mineralized by a consortium consisting of syntrophs, hydrogenotrophic sulfate reducers and to a minor extent of aceticlastic methanogens is supported.

The combination of cytometric sorting with molecular characterization allowed us to monitor community adaptation and to identify active and proliferating subcommunities to determine the most active species.

The bioremediation of contaminated saline soils should be quite possible if the salinity of the soil water is lower than 15% or if it is reduced below this limit by the addition of water, as verified by the BIOLOG method.

Current approaches to analyze composition, dynamics, and functional diversity of subsurface communities, to link identity to activity and metabolic function, and to identify the ecophysiological role of not yet cultured microbes and syntrophic consortia are focused on.

Phenol degradation in the strictly anaerobic iron-reducing deltaproteobacterium Geobacter metallireducens GS-15 is investigated using metabolite, transcriptome, proteome, and enzyme analyses, which showed that the initial steps of phenol degradation are accomplished by phenylphosphate synthase and phenyl phosphate carboxylase as known from Thauera aromatica, but they also revealed some distinct differences.

The study indicates that nitrate-dependent sulfide oxidation might be monitored in the environment by analysis of ( 18)O-depleted sulfate, indicating a preferential incorporation of (18)O -depleted oxygen released as water by nitrate reduction to nitrogen.
