AB  - Hydrogen sulfide is a highly toxic gas that causes many economic losses in aquaculture ponds. The application of sulfur-oxidizing bacteria (SOB) to remove hydrogen sulfide is an eco-friendly approach. This study aimed to isolate and identify the most efficient SOBs from the sediment of warm-water fish farms. Enrichment and isolation were performed in three different culture media (Starkey, Postgate, and H-3) based on both mineral and organic carbon. Overall, 27 isolates (14 autotrophic and 13 heterotrophic isolates) were purified based on colony and cell morphology differences. Initial screening was performed based on pH decrease. For final screening, the isolates were assessed based on their efficacy in thiosulfate oxidation and the sulfate production on Starkey liquid medium. Among isolated strains, 3 strains of Iran 2 (FH-13), Iran 3 (FH-21), and Iran 1 (FH-14) that belonged to Thiobacillus thioparus species (identified by 16s rRNA) showed the highest ability in thiosulfate oxidation (413.21, 1362.50, and 4188.03 mg/L for 14 days) and the highest sulfate production (3350, 2075, and 1600 mg/L). In the final phase, the performance of these strains under aquarium conditions showed that Iran 1 and Iran 2 had the highest ability in sulfur oxidation. In conclusion, Iran 1 and 2 strains can be used as effective SOB to remove hydrogen sulfide in fish farms. It is very important to evaluate strains in an appropriate strategy using a combination of different criteria to ensure optimal performance of SOB in farm conditions.

AB  - One of the major public health concerns is food contamination by pathogenic bacteria. Fresh food
products can be contaminated during each phase of food production. Many factors are involved in the
survival and growth of pathogenic bacteria, such as environmental and agricultural practices. Several
methods are proposed for pathogen removal from fresh food products; one of them is the application
of essential oils. Thus, the aim of this research was to determine the effects of caraway, coriander, and
thyme essential oils on E. coli and Salmonella spp. growth. Mueller-Hinton agar, previously
inoculated by overnight bacterial cultures, was used for the estimation of particular effects. Sterile
filter paper discs impregnated with essential oil were placed on the surface of the agar. After
incubation, the inhibition zone was measured. The olive oil macerate was used as a control. The results
showed that the highest impact was noticed in treatment with caraway essential oil, while thyme
essential oil showed the lowest inhibition zone. The obtained results confirm the potential of natural
products in the suppression of pathogen growth.

AB  - Organochlorinated pesticides (OCPs), such as DDT are characterized as highly persistent and mobile in environment, with high bioaccumulation capacity. The use of those chemicals has been banned in the United States and Europe for decades (Tsai, 2014). Despite this, OCPs-affected ecosystems are detected in several countries, even in the XXI century. Malusa et al. (2020) reported the presence of DDT in more than 80% of soil samples originating from organic farms in Poland. The objective was to determine the impact of microbial consortium on DDT biodegradation in soil. BacFung microbial consortium consisting of Bacillus sp., Pseudomonas sp., Azotobacter sp. and Trichoderma sp. was used for soil inoculation. Soil conditions were improved by grass sowing. The research was conducted at a playground in Tivat (Montenegro), and the size of the total examined area was 3,000 m2 divided into 13 sub-units. The concentration of DDT and its metabolites (DDE - dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene and DDD - dichlorodiphenyldichloroethane) was measured by GC/MS technique. The initial DDT concentration in soil sub-units varied from 0.005 to 20.5 mg/kg. The sum of DDT+DDD+DDE (ΣDDT ) concentrations varied from 0.024 to 22.7 mg/kg (average concentration was 1.69 mg/kg). After the application of BacFung microbial consortium, the decline of DDT amount in soil sub-units was observed (from 0.005 to 0.057 mg/kg); ΣDDT was 0.020 to 0.2 mg/kg (average
value 0.055 mg/kg). The accumulation of DDD and DDE, as initial degradation products of DDT, was observed. These results showed that microbial consortium BacFung can be used in removal of DDT from polluted environment.

AB  - Increased soil salinity has numerous negative effects on plant growth and poses
a significant threat to agricultural productivity worldwide. The diversity of
endophytic bacterial communities found in various indigenous halophytes
such as Salicornia europaea, Suaeda maritima, and Camphorosma annua, may
reveal beneficial bacteria with various plant growthpromoting (PGP) properties.
Members of Halomonas, the largest genus of the family Halomonadaceae,
are rod-shaped, gram-negative, moderately halophilic bacteria that have been
increasingly isolated from various saline environments, including halophyte
tissues. As part of the halophytic microbiota, halotolerant plant growth-promoting
endophytic bacteria can contribute to plant host growth, productivity, and
fitness under abiotic and biotic stresses. The use of halotolerant PGP bacteria
represents a good alternative strategy to mitigate the effects of salt stress in
crops and to recover saline soils. The aim of this study was to isolate halotolerant
bacteria from halophyte roots, and evaluate their PGP ability and their effect on
germination parameters of selected crops. The endophytic bacterial communities
in the roots of halophytes from natural saline soil in Slano Kopovo (Serbia)
were analyzed using culture-dependent techniques. The genus Halomonas was
the predominant among the halotolerant root-associated bacteria of analyzed
halophytes. We have isolated seven Halomonas sp. strains, six of which were
closely related (>99,86% similarity) to Halomonas songnenensis, a moderately
halophilic bacterium from saline and alkaline soils. Obtained isolates were tested
at different sodium chloride concentrations for a range of PGP traits at
different concentrations of sodium chloride. The selected strains were used to
inoculate seeds iand monitor of the germination process of barley, sunflower,
and wheat under conditions of elevated salinity. Most of the isolates tolerate
the NaCl concentration up to 18% and showed multiple PGP features with some
of them retained even in the presence of additional salt concentrations. The
germination test results showed that Halomonas seed inoculation positively
affected barley germination parameters in conditions with and without added
salt. The observed traits can be further exploited to improve plant growth and
augment the salt tolerance of agricultural production on saline soils.

AB  - Microbial degradation, compared with many other degradation processes, is the most important
pathway for the depletion of triazine herbicides in soil. The aim of this study was to determine the
growth potential of Pseudomonas sp. CY in the presence of atrazine and additional carbon (sodium citrate) and nitrogen (ammonium-nitrate) sources. The experiment was performed with five treatments: i) 100 mg/L atrazine (control); ii) One hundred mg/L atrazine + sodium citrate (0.3 %,w/v); iii) One hundred mg/L atrazine + sodium citrate (0.3 %, w/v) + ammonium nitrate (0.6 %, w/v);iv) Atrazine (300 mg/L) + sodium citrate (0.3 %, w/v) and v) Atrazine (500 mg/L) + sodium citrate (0.3 %, w/v). The bacterial count was determined after incubation (7 days at 30°C) using the agar plate method, while atrazine degradation was determined by measuring the optical density at 221 nm.
Pseudomonas sp. CY can partially utilize atrazine as the sole source of carbon and energy. The
highest values of the bacterial count were determined at the highest initial atrazine concentrations; however, bacterial growth was not detected in these treatments. A significant impact of citrate on bacterial growth and atrazine degradation was observed, while the addition of nitrate decreased the atrazine degradation rate. This study confirmed that Pseudomonas sp. CY can be used as a prominent candidate for the remediation of atrazine-affected environments.

AB  - One of the major problems in agriculture are Fusarium species which cause fusariosis in wheat,
corn, tomato, melon, watermelon, onion, peas, and beans. Also, Fusarium can synthesize
thermostable mycotoxins which can lead to certain diseases if they were found in food.
Currently, chemical fungicides are mostly used to prevent the occurrence of fusariosis disease,
but the resistance of pathogens to such treatment is being more and more widespread. Soil
microorganisms help in plant defense and growth. The rhizosphere fungi have an important role
in the mutual exchange of nutrients with plants and they can establish specific interactions with
plants. Such rhizosphere fungi are known as plant growth-promoting (PGP). These PGP fungi
affect the better plant growth through the synthesis of certain phytohormones but they also have
the function as biocontrol agents. They can inhibit the growth of phytopathogens through direct
mechanisms of antibiosis, mycoparasitism, and competition.
The goal of this research was an investigation of the antagonistic effect of Trichoderma
harzianum TR1 and Trichoderma citrinoviride 1V on Fusarium oxysporum and Fusarium
graminearum. The antagonistic effect was examined through two tests: Dual culture test (DUAL
test) and the effect of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) of Trichoderma strains on the growth
of Fusarium strains. Also, the cell-wall degrading enzymatic activity of T. citrinoviride and T.
harzianum was examined. The results showed that antagonistic activity of Trichoderma strains
varies from moderate to high. Mycelial growth inhibition by T. citrinoviride was 44% for F.
graminearum and 67% for F. oxysporum. T. harzianum inhibited F. gramminearum growth for
59% and F. oxysporum for 66%. Based on the results, it was concluded that T.harzianum and
T.citrinoviride can be considered biocontrol agents for F. oxysporum and F. graminearum.

but the resistance of pathogens to such treatment is being more and more widespread. Soil
microorganisms help in plant defense and growth. The rhizosphere fungi have an important role
in the mutual exchange of nutrients with plants and they can establish specific interactions with
plants. Such rhizosphere fungi are known as plant growth-promoting (PGP). These PGP fungi
affect the better plant growth through the synthesis of certain phytohormones but they also have
the function as biocontrol agents. They can inhibit the growth of phytopathogens through direct
mechanisms of antibiosis, mycoparasitism, and competition.
The goal of this research was an investigation of the antagonistic effect of Trichoderma
harzianum TR1 and Trichoderma citrinoviride 1V on Fusarium oxysporum and Fusarium
graminearum. The antagonistic effect was examined through two tests: Dual culture test (DUAL
test) and the effect of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) of Trichoderma strains on the growth
of Fusarium strains. Also, the cell-wall degrading enzymatic activity of T. citrinoviride and T.
harzianum was examined. The results showed that antagonistic activity of Trichoderma strains
varies from moderate to high. Mycelial growth inhibition by T. citrinoviride was 44% for F.
graminearum and 67% for F. oxysporum. T. harzianum inhibited F. gramminearum growth for
59% and F. oxysporum for 66%. Based on the results, it was concluded that T.harzianum and
T.citrinoviride can be considered biocontrol agents for F. oxysporum and F. graminearum.",

AB  - Biopriming is a pre-sowing seed inoculation technique based on beneficial microorganisms. The aim of the study was to estimate biopriming potential of microbial consortium on soybean seeds. Obtained results showed a stimulative effect of biopriming resulting in 8% higher germination percentage. Inoculated seeds were characterised as more vigorous according to vigor I, vigor II and electrical conductivity results. Accelerated aging test decreased germination percentage of both treatments to approximately 66±2%. Inoculated seeds were marked as more vigorous according to vigor I index. Biopriming of soybean seeds resulted in an increase of germination parameters that suggest stimulative effects on seed quality.

AB  - A large number of soil microorganisms are characterized as plant growth promoting, but there seems to be a lack of comprehensive knowledge regarding plant growth promoting soil yeasts. The aim of the experiment was to analyse the properties of three yeast species: Schwanniomyces occidentalis BK0302D, Cyberlindnera saturnus CK2404I and Candida tropicalis 2TD2912B, important for plant growth (ammonium sulphate transformation, phosphorus, potassium and zinc dissolution), and to evaluate the effect of yeast on the growth of common wheat and white mustard seedlings after seeds’ inoculation. Common wheat and white mustard seeds were inoculated with the selected yeasts. The final measurements showed that the highest amount of nitrate (10.40 μg mL-1 NO3 −) was produced by C. saturnus CK2404I, while S. occidentalis BK0302D solubilized the largest amount of phosphorus (63.70 μg mL-1 P). All three strains are marked as potassium and zinc solubilizers with both acid and alkaline phosphatase activity. This is the first report on S. occidentalis and C. tropicalis ability to solubilize insoluble potassium and zinc, and C. saturnus ability to solubilize insoluble phosphorus, potassium and zinc. Also, C. tropicalis 2TD2912B exhibited high antagonistic activity (66% growth inhibition) toward Botrytis cinerea. In vivo trial was conducted in a low-nutrient substrate, and S. occidentalis BK0302D was found to have the most considerable influence on common wheat biomass production (34% increase). White mustard inoculation with C. saturnus CK2404I resulted in a 4-fold higher biomass production, while S. occidentalis BK0302D induced a 2-fold increase. The presented results confirmed the multi-functional plant growth promoting characteristics of the tested yeasts and their potential for broad application from conventional agriculture on low-nutrient soils to revegetation of disturbed substrates. © 2022, Lithuanian Research Centre for Agriculture and Forestry; Vytautas Magnus University.

AB  - In the past several decades, due to the increased population, the planet has faced immense problems with waste management.
The need for recycling and upcycling is increasing. It has become imperative to extract maximum value from discarded
products. There are nearly one billion smokers on the planet. Tobacco butts are toxic, and they pollute the environment. In
this paper, the research objective was the bio-augmentation of waste in the context of composting tobacco and vegetable
waste mixtures, and the determination of nicotine degradation rate depending on the composting conditions. Low-grade
Virginia tobacco leaves that were discarded from further processing were used as base material. The experiment was conducted in triplicate. To each sample, bacteria from the species Brevibacillus were added, and then, samples were composted
under diferent conditions (controlled, semi-controlled and non-controlled). Two more samples were formed as the control
group, one without bacteria and one with only tobacco waste. The research was conducted over the period of one month
with monitoring of the process parameters. The tobacco waste had a baseline nicotine level of 17,363 mg/kg. In all samples
containing nicotine-degrading bacteria, the level of nicotine dropped below 10 mg/kg. There was a direct positive relationship between the rate of nicotine degradation, temperature and moisture content in the samples, as well as environmental
temperature and relative humidity. The content of macro- and micronutrients makes the compost appropriate for organic
fertilization in agricultural production.

AB  - The aim of this research was to prepare aqueous and ethanolic extracts of the seed and leaf of the wild chestnut known as
Ohrid diamond and to determine the antioxidant and antimicrobial activity. In general, ethanolic extracts showed higher
antioxidant potential compared with the aqueous extracts. Moreover, ethanolic seed extracts had better results in all of
the antioxidant tests compared with the ethanolic extracts from the leaves. The ethanolic seed extract was characterized
by a statistically significant (p< 0.05) lower IC50 value for the ability to capture DPPH radicals (0.63mg/ml) compared
with all other tested extracts. Furthermore, the extracts showed statistically significantly (p< 0.05) higher antimicrobial
activity against five tested bacteria (Staphylococcus aureusATCC25923, Listeria monocytogenesATCC19115, Escherichia coliATCC11230,
Shigella sonneiATCC29930, Pseudomonas aeruginosaATCC35554) compared to tetracycline and chloramphenicol. Given the good
biological activity that was established, this research can serve as a novel starting point to contribute to greater utilization of
this plant in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and food industries, and the obtained extracts could substitute for the numerous
synthetic additives that are regularly used in these industries.

AB  - Surface water contamination becomes a raising problem due to different anthropogenic factors such as agriculture, industry, waste landfills, and wastewater effluents. Small rivers are also exposed to wastewater influents, pollution from agricultural activities, as well as raising human influence on the river flow (dam building). This research aimed to analyze the microbiological quality and ecological status of the water on the small river Ribnica in Western Serbia. Ribnica is a 22 km long tributary of Kolubara. The upper part of the river flow is surrounded by forests, agricultural fields, and small farms. Downstream, the river flows through Mionica, a small town where its water quality becomes endangered by communal wastewater, as well as landfills in the river surrounding. The microbiological quality of river water was estimated by the presence of coliforms, E. coli, enterococci which determination was done by Colilert and Enterolert method (IDEXX Laboratories, USA). The other parameters for water ecological status (oligotrophs, heterotrophs microorganisms, and autopurification index) are determined using the serial dilution method and incubation on selective nutrient media. The index of autopurification was calculated as oligotrophs/heterotrophs ratio. Our results show that the greatest pollution comes in the river after Mionica center. The extremely large number of fecal E. coli indicates the presence of fecal matter in water which could be a potential risk for human health if this water is used for irrigation crops or recreation. Also, autopurification index of water in this location indicates very poor self-purification potential which means that this water needs human help for achieving good ecological status. Regular monitoring and analyses of microbiological contamination and ecosystem disturbances should be important input data for public policies and strategic planning in the area of wastewater management, hydraulic engineering, and agricultural management.

AB  - Crop yields are highly depended on germination and early stages of plant growth. Numerous
priming techniques are being developed aimed to improve germination. Biopriming represents a
sustainable approach based on seed treatment in bacterial suspension of selected plant growth
promoting strains. One of the most promising plant growth promoting bacteria is Azotobacter
chroococcum. The aim of the research was to evaluate the effects of A. chroococcum F8/2 as a
biopriming agent on germination of various cultivable plants: basil, white mustard, cucumber,
tomato, wheat, canola, and soybean. After surface sterilization, seeds were bioprimed in the
bacterial suspension (107CFU/ml). Uninoculated seeds represented control treatment.
Germination test was conducted with 100 seeds per treatment and the germination was
monitored for 7 days. Following germination parameters were determined: germination
percentage, germination index, mean germination time, vigor I, vigor II, length and dry biomass
of the seedlings. The bacterial inoculation caused higher germination percentages of cucumber,
tomato, wheat and soybean. The highest increase in germination index was observed in wheat
(an increase of 19.8%). Tomato and basil were the only plants where vigor I was not increased
by inoculation. Generally, the most favorable effects of A. chroococcum biopriming were
observed in wheat where vigor I was increased more than twice, and vigor II was higher by
75.4% in inoculated seeds. The results indicate a significant potential for A. chroococcum use in
biopriming. The observed effects of seed priming on germination parameters were crop-specific,
with the most prominent potential in wheat biopriming.

AB  - Good microbiological quality of irrigation water has a great importance for health-safety
agricultural production. In order to avoid microbiological contamination of crops, the
microbiological quality of the water supplying the crops should be monitored. The aim of this
paper is investigation of the microbiological quality of the water from 5 channels and one pool
from the municipality of Surcin which can potentially be used for irrigation, as well as
determination the microbiological quality of the vegetables which are irrigated from the pool.
Microbiological parameters of water and vegetables quality are determined by the standard
methods prescribed by the Rulebook on parameters of surface waters (MPN method) and
Rulebook of food hygiene of production of Republic of Serbia. The values of the tested
parameters in one of the five investigated channels, Surcin channel water, were higher in relation
to the limit values of the Rulebook. The increased levels of total and fecal coliforms, Escherichia
coli, Salmonella, and Shigella were found. The Surcin channel water requires appropriate
treatment before its use for crop irrigation. The values of other tested waters did not go beyond
the limit values prescribed by the Rulebook, but for the safer agricultural production their
treatment is recommended. Microbiological analyzes of vegetables were also done. The total and
fecal coliform bacteria, as well as E. coli, Salmonella sp. and Shigella sp., were not detected in
the tested vegetable samples.

AB  - New advances in the food industry are directed towards exploiting natural resources. Nowadays, essential oils and their antimicrobial activities are the subject of many researches. Their possible use as natural food additives is particularly prominent. This study analyzed the influence of ginger and rosemary oil on the growth of pure bacterial culture using the disk diffusion method. Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Salmonella spp. were used as test organisms for antimicrobial susceptibility testing. The results showed that both types of oil inhibit bacterial growth, although inhibition rate varies between different bacterial species. It certainly depends on the type of plant used for oil extraction. Study has shown that ginger and rosemary oil can potentially be used in treating diseases caused by these bacteria.

AB  - Surface mining activities, despite their benefits, lead to the deterioration of local and regional environmental quality and play a role in global ecosystem pollution. This research aimed to estimate the culturable microbial population structure at five locations near the opencast coal mine "Kakanj" (Bosnia and Herzegovina) via agar plate and phospholipid fatty acids (PLFA) method and to establish its relationship to the physical and chemical properties of soil. Using the ICP-OES method, the heavy metal pollution of all examined locations (overburden, former grass yard, forest, arable soil, and greenhouse) was observed. Substantial variations among the sites regarding the most expressed indicators of heavy metal pollution were noted; Cr, Pb, Ni, and Cu content ranged from 63.17 to 524.47, 20.57 to 349.47, 139.13 to 2785.67, and 25.97 to 458.73 mg/kg, respectively. In the overburden sample, considerable low microbial activity was detected; the bacterial count was approximately 6- to 18-fold lower in comparison with the other samples. PLFA analysis showed the reduction of microbial diversity, reflected through the prevalence of normal and branched saturated fatty acids, their ratio (ranged from 0.92 to 7.13), and the absence of fungal marker 18:2 omega 6 fatty acid. The principal component analysis showed a strong negative impact of heavy metals Na and B on main microbial and PLFA profiles. In contrast, stock of main chemical parameters, including Ca, K, Fe, and pH, was positively correlated with the microbial community structure.

AB  - When a pesticide gets into soil, it takes part in a number of physical, chemical and biological processes that depend not only on the compound itself, but a number of other factors such as physical, chemical, and biological characteristics of soil and climatic factors. Microorganisms play an important role in pesticide degradation as they are able to utilize the biogenic elements from those compounds, as well as energy for their physiological processes. On the other hand, pesticides are more or less toxic substances that can have adverse effect on microbial populations and prevent their development, reduce their abundance, deplete their taxonomic complexity and create communities with a lower level of diversity and reduced physiological activity. The aim of this study was to analyze post nicosulfuron application dynamics of microbial populations’ activity in the soil. By standard methodology, soil pH value was determined as slightly acid to slightly alkaline, humus and available K content as moderate to high, and available P content as very low to moderate. Microbial abundance (total number of bacteria, number of ammonification bacteria, fungi and actinomycetes) was determined by agar plate method. The application of nicosulfuron in all samples and at both locations has resulted in increased number of bacteria, fungi and ammonification bacteria and reduction of the number of actinomycetes. The highest positive effect on the number of microorganisms was 15 days after treatment with nicosulfuron.

AB  - Tartary buckwheat (Fagopyrum tataricum Gaertn) is an annual plant that is classified as a pseudocereal with high nutritional values. It is mainly cultivated in Asia, where grain and other parts of plants are used in traditional diet. In recent years, tartary buckwheat is grown on smaller areas and mostly in a mixture with common buckwheat in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The aim of this research was to determine the chemical composition and total phenols content of tartary buckwheat grown in different vegetation seasons. Field experiments were conducted in Donje Selo, near Ilijaš during 2011, 2012 and 2013 vegetation seasons. The results show that weather in some vegetation seasons have statistically significant effect on contents of protein and starch in kernel. The largest contents of protein were found in vegetation season with a lack of precipitation (2012 year), while the largest content of starch was recorded in years with relatively higher precipitation levels (2011 and 2013 years). Results show that total phenols content depended on the plant organ and vegetation season. The highest content was found in the flower (63.63 mg GAE g−1), while the smallest content was found in the kernel (5.03 mg GAE g−1).

AB  - Modern agricultural production is often associated with application of agrochemicals. One of them is glyphosate, which has become one of the most widely used herbicides in weed control. However, the widespread use of glyphosate may influence the living organism’s activity. The aim of this paper was to estimate the soil microbial activity after glyphosate application. Glyphosate (Glifomark SG) was applied at the end of 2017 on two locations: Principovo polje, and Novi Travnik (Travnik municipality, Bosnia and Herzegovina), so that corn and raspberry residues can be removed. Soil sampling (0–10 and 10–30 cm) was conducted at the time of glyphosate application, also 15 and 45 days after application. On control soil glyphosate was not applied. Chemical soil analysis (pH, content of humus, available P and K) was performed using standard methodology, whilst microbial abundance (total number of bacteria, ammonification bacteria, fungi, actinomycetes and glyphosate-tolerant bacteria) was analyzed using agar plate method. The results of chemical soil analysis showed slightly acid to slightly alkaline pH value, moderate to high humus content, and low to high content of available P and K. In most of samples, bacterial number was reduced 15 days after glyphosate application, whilst at the end of experiment increase of bacterial abundance was recorded. Similar results were obtained for fungi. Rapid decrease of actinomycetes number was observed after application of glyphosate. Two bacterial strains (PP-23 and NT-11) were able to grow on mineral medium supplemented with glyphosate in concentrations of 1 and 2% (v/v), thus representing a promising candidates for bioremediation of soil contaminated with glyphosate.

AB  - Hexavalent chromium, Cr(VI), one of the major pollutants from industrial facilities, is very toxic and harmful for human health and environmental quaky. Due to the lack of conventional methods, bioremediation was recommended as an environmentally friendly and effective technique. The aim of this paper was the isolation, identification and selection of the microorganisms which are capable of Cr(VI) reduction in vitro. Heavy metal concentration, detected in four soil samples, within and around the former bicycle factory Wog" (Republic . of Slovenia), was measured using the ICP-OES method. Bacteria were isolated and tested for chromium tolerance using LB agar supplemented with various Cr(VI) concentrations, whilst Cr(VI) reduction and bacterial growth was determined using the LB liquid medium. From 53 bacterial isolates, five of them showed a tolerance of 1000 mg/L of Cr(VI). Those five isolates showed the capability of growth under various Cr(VI) concentrations (50-1000 mg/L). Initial Cr(VI) concentrations ranging from 50 to 100 mg/L were completely reduced by four bacterial isolates, whilst 500 to 1000 mg/L by Bacillus safensis 342-9. Using 16S rDNA and tuf gene sequence analyses, isolates 270-9R and 342-9 were identified as Bacillus safensis, isolates 351-9 and 270-9C as Bacillus subtilis subsp. subtilis, and 212-9 as Bacillus thuringiensis. These results indicated that these bacteria may be promising tools for remediation of metal-polluted sites.

AB  - Besides ecological and environmental benefits of green open spaces, horticultural waste management has various environmental consequences. Green waste composting represents promising environmentally friendly alternative which gives valuable products with positive soil and plants impact. Composting products' quality determinates their application and depends on the particular waste material and process parameters. The aim of this paper was to estimate the chemical and microbiological quality of green waste compost and compost products (compost tea, compost extract and the solid phase after extraction), and their biopotential based on germination rate, germination index and inhibition of phytopathogenic fungi growth. Higher germination rate of examined plant seeds was noticed on the solid phase after extraction, and compost extract, compared to compost, and compost tea, respectively. Plants with low germination rate grown on compost showed higher fresh and dry biomass. Compost products strongly inhibited the growth of plant pathogens Fusarium oxysporum, Rhizoctonia sp., and Pythium debaryanum. Presented results show that composted biodegradable waste from urban green spaces contribute to the plant growth and phytopathogenic fungi suppression, and thus improve the overall environmental quality.

AB  - Essential oils are products derived from various parts of plants. These products have therapeutic, pharmacological and antimicrobial properties against human pathogens. In this paper, the impact of clove, spruce and pine essential oils against Escherichia coli, Salmonella spp. and Staphylococcus aureus was determined using disc diffusion method. Liquid bacterial inoculum was streaked onto Muller-Hinton agar using the sterile swab. Antimicrobial activity was estimated by measurement of inhibition zone around the discs previously impregnated by essential oil and placed onto agar. Results showed that the antimicrobial activity of essential oils depended on the type of oil and bacterial species. The significantly highest diameter of inhibition zone against tested bacteria was recorded using clove essential oil, whilst the lowest diameter was noticed using pine essential oil. Clove oil was most effective against Staphylococcus aureus, whilst spruce and pine oil against Salmonella spp. compared to other bacteria. Strong positive correlation between the effect of the spruce oil against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, spruce and with clove oil against Staphylococcus aureus was recorded. The results of this research indicate the possible application of essential oil of clove against human pathogens.

AB  - Nicosulfuron belongs to the sulfonylurea pesticides, which are widely used for weeds control. Except of benefits in plant production, long-term application of nicosulfuron may have toxic effect for living organisms, including microorganisms. The aim of this paper was to determined impact of nicosulfuron on microbial diversity of soil. Sampling of soil (0-20 and 20-40 cm) treated with nicosulfuron at village Trenica (Novi Travnik municipality, Bosnia and Herzegovina) was performed in autumn 2017. Determination of microbial diversity (total number of bacteria, ammonification bacteria, fungi and actinomycetes) was performed using standard methodology, whilst nicosulfuron-tolerant bacteria were isolated using enrichment method. Soil without nicosulfuron application was used as a control. The results showed that bacteria were most abundant microbial population. In all experiments, reduction of microbial diversity in nicosulfuron-treated soil compared to untreated was observed. This reduction was most expressed in fungal number, which is reduced from 38 to 60% compared to control. Several nicosulfuron-tolerant isolates were isolated by enrichment method. By microscopic observation and using API test kits and APIWEB database, isolates 17cs, and 22wl and 5 wl were identified as Pseudomonas fluorescens, and Bacillus subtilis, respectively. These bacterial isolates could be applied in remediation of environments polluted by nicosulfuron.
AB  - Nikosulfuron pripada grupi pesticide sulfonil urea, koji imaju široku primenu u uništavanju korova. Iako je njegova primena korisna sa aspekta uspešne biljne proizvodnje, njegova višegodišnja upotreba može imati toksične efekte za živi svet, uključujući i mikroorganizme. Cilj ovog rada bio je ispitivanje uticaja nikosulfurona na mikrobni diverzitet zemljišta. Uzorkovanje zemljišta (0-20 i 20-40 cm) tretiranog nikosulfuronom na području sela Trenica (Opština Novi Travnik, Bosna i Hercegovina) obavljeno je u jesen 2017. godine. Određivanje mikrobnog diverziteta (ukupnog broja bakterija, amonifikatora, gljiva I aktinomiceta) izvršeno je korišćenjem standardnih metoda, dok su bakterije tolerantne na prisustvo nikosulfurona određene metodom obogaćenja. Kontrolu je predstavljalo zemljište koje nije tretirano nikosulfuronom. Rezultati ukazuju da su bakterije bile najbrojnija populacija mikroorganizama. U svim varijantama ogleda konstatovana je redukcija mikrobnog diverziteta u zemljištu koje je tretirano nikosulfuronom u odnosu na kontrolni uzorak.

abstract = "Nicosulfuron belongs to the sulfonylurea pesticides, which are widely used for weeds control. Except of benefits in plant production, long-term application of nicosulfuron may have toxic effect for living organisms, including microorganisms. The aim of this paper was to determined impact of nicosulfuron on microbial diversity of soil. Sampling of soil (0-20 and 20-40 cm) treated with nicosulfuron at village Trenica (Novi Travnik municipality, Bosnia and Herzegovina) was performed in autumn 2017. Determination of microbial diversity (total number of bacteria, ammonification bacteria, fungi and actinomycetes) was performed using standard methodology, whilst nicosulfuron-tolerant bacteria were isolated using enrichment method. Soil without nicosulfuron application was used as a control. The results showed that bacteria were most abundant microbial population. In all experiments, reduction of microbial diversity in nicosulfuron-treated soil compared to untreated was observed. This reduction was most expressed in fungal number, which is reduced from 38 to 60% compared to control. Several nicosulfuron-tolerant isolates were isolated by enrichment method. By microscopic observation and using API test kits and APIWEB database, isolates 17cs, and 22wl and 5 wl were identified as Pseudomonas fluorescens, and Bacillus subtilis, respectively. These bacterial isolates could be applied in remediation of environments polluted by nicosulfuron., Nikosulfuron pripada grupi pesticide sulfonil urea, koji imaju široku primenu u uništavanju korova. Iako je njegova primena korisna sa aspekta uspešne biljne proizvodnje, njegova višegodišnja upotreba može imati toksične efekte za živi svet, uključujući i mikroorganizme. Cilj ovog rada bio je ispitivanje uticaja nikosulfurona na mikrobni diverzitet zemljišta. Uzorkovanje zemljišta (0-20 i 20-40 cm) tretiranog nikosulfuronom na području sela Trenica (Opština Novi Travnik, Bosna i Hercegovina) obavljeno je u jesen 2017. godine. Određivanje mikrobnog diverziteta (ukupnog broja bakterija, amonifikatora, gljiva I aktinomiceta) izvršeno je korišćenjem standardnih metoda, dok su bakterije tolerantne na prisustvo nikosulfurona određene metodom obogaćenja. Kontrolu je predstavljalo zemljište koje nije tretirano nikosulfuronom. Rezultati ukazuju da su bakterije bile najbrojnija populacija mikroorganizama. U svim varijantama ogleda konstatovana je redukcija mikrobnog diverziteta u zemljištu koje je tretirano nikosulfuronom u odnosu na kontrolni uzorak. Stepen redukcije bio je najveći kod gljiva, čija je brojnost redukovana za 38-60% u odnosu na kontrolu. Nekoliko izolata bakterija tolerantnih na prisustvo nikosulfurona je izolovano iz uzoraka zemljišta metodom obogaćenja. Mikroskopskim ispitivanjem I pomoću API i APIWEB metode, izolati 17cs, odnosno 22wl i 5wl, su identifikovani kao Pseudomonas fluorescens, odnosno Bacillus subtilis.

AB  - Fruits of five apple cultivars were treated using 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP or SmartFresh (TM)) after cropping and were stored at normal atmosphere 2 +/- 0.5 degrees C, 90 +/- 5% relative humidity (RH) and 20.9 kPa O-2 +  lt 0.5 kPa CO2. Fruit firmness was assessed at three periods: 7 d after storing, 120 d after storing and 30 d after the second assessment and storing at room temperature. Contents of K in all of the cultivars and in all years of study varied within the average values between 1390.5 and 2028.0 mg kg(-1), while the Ca content varied between 21.7 and 59.5 mg kg(-1). The K:Ca ratio was the lowest in cultivar 'Granny Smith' (24.0) and the highest in 'Redchief ' (99.1). Application of 1-MCP made the strongest impact on fruit firmness of the cultivars 'Granny Smith' and 'Idared' in all measuring periods. Cultivars 'Redchier', 'Cadel' and 'Morrens Ionagored' responded well to the application of 1-MCP in the storage conditions, whereas the effect of its application influenced conservability of the fruits stored at room temperature except in fruits of the cultivar 'Morens Jonagored'. Application of 1-MCP made an important effect on the preservation of fruit firmness, all in accordance with the degree of ripeness of the fruits subjected to the treatment and the contents of K, Ca and K:Ca ratio. This study indicates that the use of 1-MCP treatment in post harvest handling of apples is promising for maintaining the freshness and quality of fruits.
