Abstract
Two main sewer systems Malir and Lyari Rivers receive a large amount of effluent discharge approximately 450,000 gallons per day of raw municipal as well as industrial effluents to multi branched tidal creek estuary along the Karachi coast. The impacts of raw sewage disposal on water and sediments quality in Karachi fish harbor and estuary along Karachi urban coast were assessed during the period of January to December 2010 using sewage pollution markers, enrichment, contamination and geo-accumulation factors. The contents of four elements Cd, Pb, Zn and Hg, have been determined in the surficial sediments of West Wharf Karachi Fish Harbor Estuary. The contamination of the sediments was assessed on the basis of geo-accumulation index, contamination factor and modified degree of contamination. The results revealed highly elevated Cd, Pb, Zn, Cr and Hg concentration (Cd, 987-1240 mg/ kg; Pb, 930-1230 mg/ kg; Cr, 428-706 mg/kg; Zn, 1260-1410 mg/kg; Hg, 118-242 mg/kg). The enrichment of metals in the sediments resulted from the contribution of the Lyari river sewage outfall through which the waste of the river basin ends up in Karachi harbor as well as from industrial and ship contaminants. © IDOSI Publications, 2012.

Abstract
Application of microbial metabolic potential (bioremediation) is accepted as an environmentally benign and economical measure for decontamination of polluted environments. Bioremediation methods are generally categorized into ex situ and in situ bioremediation. Although in situ bioremediation methods have been in use for two to three decades, they have not yet yielded the expected results. Their limited success has been attributed to reduced ecological sustainability under environmental conditions. An important determinant of sustainability of in situ bioremediation is pollutant bioavailability. Microbial chemotaxis is postulated to improve pollutant bioavailability significantly; consequently, application of chemotactic microorganisms can considerably enhance the performance of in situ degradation. The environmental fate of degradative microorganisms and the ecological consequence of intervention constitute other important descriptors for the efficiency and sustainability of bioremediation processes. Integrative use of culture-dependent, culture-independent methods (e.g. amplified rDNA restriction analysis, terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism, denaturing/thermal gradient gel electrophoresis, phospholipid fatty acid, etc.), computational and statistical analyses has enabled successful monitoring of the above aspects. The present review provides a detailed insight into some of the key factors that affect the efficiency of in situ bioremediation along with a comprehensive account of the integrative approaches used for assessing the ecological sustainability of processes. The review also discusses the possibility of developing suicidal genetically engineered microorganisms for optimized and controlled in situ bioremediation. © 2008 Federation of European Microbiological Societies.

Abstract
This study assessed the bio-toxicological assays efficacy in the control of effluent waters deriving from purification plants, such as industrial or wastewater discharge and marine sediment collected from the Adriatic sea on the Italian Coast. The analysis was performed using either Acute Toxicity Test containing bioluminescent bacteria or Algal Growth Inhibitory Test (used on sediments only). Furthermore, samples were also characterized by microbiological parameters to search for indicators of faecal contamination. From the 29 samples collected from effluent waters, 6 showed an inhibition of bacterial luminescence higher than 20% and the analysis of EC50 expressed a strong toxicity for 4 of them, whereas 9 of the remaining 23 samples exhibited a bioluminescence stimulation defined as "hormesi." No samples of marine sediments displayed a reduction of luminescence exceeding 20% with respect to the control. Toxicity tests can represent efficacious tools to detect the presence of pollutants for the preservation of the aquatic system and human health. Copyright © Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
