“…River water became contaminated as a result of increased urbanization and human settlement (Tamrakar & Parajuli 2019). Both the biotic and abiotic communities are harmed by the contaminated water (Singh et al 2021). All forms of waste products, both liquid and solid, are found in the river.…”

Objectives: To explore the presence of fecal indicator bacteria and assess antibiotic resistance status in Bagmati river water. Methods: In a cross sectional study during a year 2020; a total of 180 water samples were collected from the Bagmati River’s upstream, midstream, and downstream sources. Maintaining reverse cold chain, the samples were transferred to the laboratory of central department of Microbiology, Tribhuvan University. Organisms were isolated on Eosin Methylene Blue (EMB) and Nutrient Agar. The organisms were further identified based on the biochemical properties and antibiotic susceptibility testing was performed following CLSI (2020) guidelines. Results: Of the 546 isolates, 209 (or 38%) were Escherichia coli. Other coliforms isolated were Enterobacter spp (2%), Citrobacter spp (37%), and Klebsiella spp (23%). Upstream source revealed least percentage 3% (7/209) of E. coli. All the recovered Citrobacter spp. were resistant and E. coli showed >99% resistance towards Tetracycline, Ampicillin and Amoxiclav antibiotics. Klebsiella spp. was 100% resistant towards Ampicillin and Amoxiclav antibiotics. The coliforms exhibited least resistance (10%) towards Chloramphenicol. Based on antibiotic resistance percentage pattern, E. coli showed 27% similarity to Citrobacter spp. Conclusion: Coliforms showed maximum resistance towards first line antibiotics prescribed in human infection. Immediate water safety plans should be instituted to improve the water quality.

“…In the present comprehensive review based on a systematic literature search, we aimed to take a deep look at the overall functional structure and metabolic potentials of key microorganisms (bacteria, fungi, and microalgae) native to coal environments in the production of value-added compounds and remediation of coal-impacted sites. However, the microbial potentials driving coal biodesulfurization and coalbed methane generation are beyond the scope of this review due to the numerous excellent works published recently [ 7 , 8 , 9 ].…”

It was generally believed that coal sources are not favorable as live-in habitats for microorganisms due to their recalcitrant chemical nature and negligible decomposition. However, accumulating evidence has revealed the presence of diverse microbial groups in coal environments and their significant metabolic role in coal biogeochemical dynamics and ecosystem functioning. The high oxygen content, organic fractions, and lignin-like structures of lower-rank coals may provide effective means for microbial attack, still representing a greatly unexplored frontier in microbiology. Coal degradation/conversion technology by native bacterial and fungal species has great potential in agricultural development, chemical industry production, and environmental rehabilitation. Furthermore, native microalgal species can offer a sustainable energy source and an excellent bioremediation strategy applicable to coal spill/seam waters. Additionally, the measures of the fate of the microbial community would serve as an indicator of restoration progress on post-coal-mining sites. This review puts forward a comprehensive vision of coal biodegradation and bioprocessing by microorganisms native to coal environments for determining their biotechnological potential and possible applications.
