Fermentation is widely used in the processing of dairy, meat, and plant products. Due to the growing popularity of plant diets and the health benefits of consuming fermented products, there has been growing interest in the fermentation of plant products and the selection of microorganisms suitable for this process. The review provides a brief overview of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and their use in fermentation of legumes and legume-based beverages. Its scope also extends to prebiotic ingredients present in legumes and legume-based beverages that can support the growth of LAB. Legumes are a suitable matrix for the production of plant-based beverages, which are the most popular products among dairy alternatives. Legumes and legume-based beverages have been successfully fermented with LAB. Legumes are a natural source of ingredients with prebiotic properties, including oligosaccharides, resistant starch, polyphenols, and isoflavones. These compounds provide a broad range of important physiological benefits, including anti-inflammatory and immune regulation, as well as anti-cancer properties and metabolic regulation. The properties of legumes make it possible to use them to create synbiotic food, which is a source of probiotics and prebiotics.

The objectives of this study were to investigate the change of microorganisms involved in cocoa (Theobroma cacao) fermentation and then to isolate, characterize and select the important microorganisms in cocoa fermentation. The results showed that microbial quantities continuously changed during cocoa fermentation and the highest quantity of dominant microorganisms at different stages of fermentation process as 8.03 log cfu/g of yeast, 6.34 log cfu/g of mold, 7.77 log cfu/g of lactic acid bacteria, 7.87 log cfu/g of acetic acid bacteria, 7.25 log cfu/g of Bacillus, and 10.93 log cfu/g of the total aerobic bacteria. There were nine yeast isolates belonging 5 genera of Saccharomyces, Kluyveromyces, Brettanomyces, Candida and Cystofilobasidium; 9 mould isolates belonging to 2 genera of Rhizopus and Aspergillus; 11 acetic acid bacteria isolates belonging to Acetobacter; and 13 spore-forming bacterial isolates belonging to Bacillus isolates. Three isolates of yeast (CY-1a, CY-1b, CY-2a) belonging to Kluyveromyces possessed the high fermentative capacity and 4 Acetobacter isolates (CAAB-1d, CAAB-1a, CAAB-1e and CAAB-2d) produced high amounts of acetic acid.

Air pollution with odorous compounds is a significant social and environmental problem. This paper presents biological deodorization methods. The attention is focused on the application of biotrickling filters for air deodorization. Principles of their operation are discussed, indicating the key role of the selection of microorganisms responsible for the degradation of odorous compounds. A literature overview of the used fungal species is presented and the advantages of using fungi in comparison with bacteria are indicated. The results of experimental studies on the n-butanol removal in biotrickling filter are presented.

Lipases are enzymes used in various industrial sectors such as food, pharmaceutical and chemical synthesis industries. The selection of microorganisms isolated from soil or wastewater is an alternative to the discovery of new species with high enzymes productivity and with different catalytic activities. In this study, the selection of lipolytic fungi was carried out by submerged fermentation. A total of 27 fungi were used, of which 20 were isolated from dairy effluent and 7 from soil contaminated with diesel oil. The largest producers were the fungi Penicillium E-3 with maximum lipolytic activity of 2.81 U, Trichoderma E-19 and Aspergillus O-8 with maximum activities of 2.34 and 2.03 U where U is the amount of enzyme that releases 1 μmol of fatty acid per min per mL of enzyme extract. The fungi had maximum lipolytic activities on the 4th day of fermentation.

Research results of granular sludge application for waste water quality improvement and reducing charges for polluting discharges of hazardous substances into surface waters are given. There is considered the technology of waste water treatment based on the use of biochemical methods of processing. Methodology is given for biomass use with the selection of microorganisms for waste water treatment herewith the effectiveness of treatment plants (type 201) work is over the design standards.

The aim of this work was to study herbicide degradation through selected microorganisms from humus and soil subjected to different plantation systems. The following bacterial species were identified: Klebsiella pneumoniae pneumoniae GC s.B strain 1, Pseudomonas alcaligenes, Enterobacter aerogenes GC s.A and Klebsiella pneumoniae pneumoniae GC s.B strain 2. Growth studies yet suggested the possibility of a very long lag phase. Although, culture with the herbicide presented biofilm formation and there were color changes in the herbicide that could have interfered with the espectrophotometry readings. After 5 days of incubation at 35ºC, the difference in the concentration of herbicide was 14.42% on average and after 10 days, 35.01%.
