Bioaugmentation as a soil bioremediation approach

Bioaugmentation, the addition of microorganisms to enhance
a specific biological activity, has been practiced
intentionally for years in a number of areas, including
agriculture and forestry [1] and wastewater treatment [2].
Research attempting to evaluate the value of bioaugmentation
for soil remediation is not new either (e.g. [3,4]).
Bioaugmentation is not generally accepted as an efficient
technique for soil bioremediation, although proponents
continue to demonstrate possible advantages. It is often
viewed negatively by those either who have had cautionary
experiences or worse (e.g. the addition of bioaugmentation
products either decreased biodegradation rates or clogged
aquifers) or who do not believe that the advantages of
increasing the biocatalyst activity offset the advantages of
niche fitness demonstrated by indigenous microorganisms
[5-8]. The utility of bioaugmentation is supported by
studies showing the incompetence of indigenous microorganisms
in some cases and the apparent enhanced
bioremediation rate after the addition of competent
microorganisms [9,10",11,12,13°]. The reinoculation of soil
with indigenous microorganisms directly isolated from the
same soil is often included in the term bioaugmentation
[14,15].

adaptación a nicho ecológico


Explanation:
"Niche" signfica "nicho ecológico". Un ejemplo de uso:
"Muchas especies bacterianas utilizan la variación de fase para generar una diversidad en la población importante para la adaptación al nicho en que se
encuentran".

http://www.researchgate.net/profile/Marta_Martin5/publicatio...

Claro que "Indigenous microorganisms" están más adaptados al nicho ecológico donde su género existe en comparación con unos microorganismos nuevos, introducidos al suelo intencionalmente por hombres. Los microorganismos nuevos tienen una "biocatalyst activity" más fuerte, pero si en el nicho ecológico hay unas condiciones desfavorables, es posible que no sean más útiles que los microorganismos nativos que ya están adaptados a las condiciones (adaptados el a nicho ecológico).

agree  M. C. Filgueira: Muy probablemente, pero el sintagma correcto es "adaptación AL nicho ecológico". (biocatalyst activity = actividad biocatalítica) Saludos cordiales.
