Many organic pollutants, especially synthetic surfactants, adsorb onto solid surfaces in natural and engineered aquatic environments. Biofilm bacteria on such surfaces make major contributions to microbial heterotrophic activity and biodegradation of organic pollutants. This paper reviews evidence for multiple interactions between surfactants, biodegradative bacteria, and sediment-liquid interfaces. Biodegradable surfactants e.g. SDS, added to a river-water microcosm were rapidly adsorb to sediment surface and stimulated the indigenous bacteria to attach to the sediment particles. Recalcitrant surfactants and non-surfactant organic nutrients did not stimulate attachment Attachment of bacteria was maximal when biodegradation was fastest, and was reversed when biodegradation was complete. Dodecanol, the primary product of SDS-biodegradation, markedly stimulated attachment. When SDS was added to suspensions containing sediment and either known degraders or known non-degraders, only the degraders became attached, and attachment accelerated surfactant biodegradation to dodecanol. These cyclical cooperative interactions have implications for the design of biodegradability-tests, the impact of surfactant adjuvants on biodegradability of herbicides/pesticides formulated with surfactants, and the role of surfactants used to accelerate bioremediation of hydrocarbon-polluted soils.

This study was conducted to determine the composition of sugars and organic acids in root exudates of Miscanthus × Giganteus and to find out if microorganisms of the rhizospheric soil are limited by mi­ne­ral nutrients. The following sugars and organic acids were determined in root exudates of this plant: glucose, saccharose, and acids such as succinic, propionic, citric, tartaric, malic, oxalic, ascorbic, acetic and fumaric. Respiration of soil from rhizosphere of Miscanthus × Giganteus was found to be limited by N, K and Ca. Respiration rate after application of mineral compounds increased in following orther: nitrate > calcium > potassium > ammonium, giving approx. 165, 99, 52 and 31 % increase compared to control. Further research is necessary to determine the role of plant nutrients from the point of their limitations for rhizosphere microorganisms, to broader very rare knowledges in this topic, especially for polluted soils to stimulate efficiency of phytoremediations.

Although extraction of bioactive compounds by biomass resource biorefining is challenging, interest in these compounds is increasing. This review summarizes our results in the field of secondary compounds (especially polyphenols) obtained via biorefining technology. The technology also offers the possibility to separate other compounds with industrial value or biological properties. To isolate polyphenols, different biomass sources such as spruce wood bark, Asclepias syriaca (a latex-bearing plant), Crataegus monogyna (hawthorn), chestnut shells, vine stems, and grape seeds have been used. The isolated products have been tested for their biological properties in the fields of plant and microorganism development. Experimental results confirmed the important role of polyphenols in the metabolism of different organisms. For plant development, the polyphenols were tested in the following processes: germination, plant cultivation, tissue cultures, and grafting. The influence of polyphenols can be associated with stimulation and regulation of cell differentiation, as evidenced by genetic studies and enzymes biosynthesis. Polyphenols might also participate in regulating the metabolism of different yeast strains and might inhibit the development of bacteria or fungi. Interactions between polyphenols and soil cultivation might also be used for bioremediation of arid and polluted soils.
