Assessment of the effects of oxamyl on the bacterial community of an agricultural soil exhibiting enhanced biodegradation
(2019)Modern agricultural practices largely rely on pesticides to protect crops against various pests and to ensure high yields. Following their application to crops a large amount of pesticides ends up in soil where they may ... -
Characterization of the biodegradation, bioremediation and detoxification capacity of a bacterial consortium able to degrade the fungicide thiabendazole
(2017)Thiabendazole (TBZ) is a persistent fungicide used in the post-harvest treatment of fruits. Its application results in the production of contaminated effluents which should be treated before their environmental discharge. ... -
Comparison of hydrocarbon-degrading consortia from surface and deep waters of the eastern mediterranean sea: Characterization and degradation potential
(2021)The diversity and degradation capacity of hydrocarbon-degrading consortia from surface and deep waters of the Eastern Mediterranean Sea were studied in time-series experiments. Microcosms were set up in ONR7a medium at in ... -
Evaluation of geotechnical parameters for effective landfill design and risk assessment
(2007)Sanitary landfill remains an attractive disposal route for household, commercial and industrial waste, as it is more economical than alternative solutions. The landfill biodegradation processes are complex, including many ... -
Following the route of veterinary antibiotics tiamulin and tilmicosin from livestock farms to agricultural soils
(2022)Veterinary antibiotics (VAs) are not completely metabolized in the animal body. Hence, when animal excretes are used as soil manures, VA residues are dispersed with potential implications for environmental quality and human ... -
Heterojunction architecture of pTTh nanoflowers with CuOx nanoparticles hybridized for efficient photoelectrocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants
(2020)Herein, resulting from the heterojunction engineering, poly-terthiophene (pTTh) hybridized CuOxnanoparticles (abbreviated as CuOx@pTTh) are firstly synthesized and adopted as a promising photoelectrocatalyst for phenol ... -
Insights into the function and horizontal transfer of isoproturon degradation genes (pdmAB) in a biobed system
(2020)Biobeds, designed to minimize pesticide point source contamination, rely mainly on biodegradation processes. We studied the interactions of a biobed microbial community with the herbicide isoproturon (IPU) to explore the ... -
Isolation and characterization of bacteria from acidic pristine soil environment able to transform iprodione and 3,5-dichloraniline
(2015)Iprodione is a fungicide commonly used in a range of crops resulting in its common detection in natural water resources. Biological degradation constitutes the major dissipation processes controlling its environmental ... -
Isolation of a bacterial consortium able to degrade the fungicide thiabendazole: the key role of a Sphingomonas phylotype
(2017)Thiabendazole (TBZ) is a fungicide used in fruit-packaging plants. Its application leads to the production of wastewaters requiring detoxification. In the absence of efficient treatment methods, biological depuration of ... -
Isolation, characterization and industrial application of a Cladosporium herbarum fungal strain able to degrade the fungicide imazalil
(2022)Imazalil (IMZ) is an imidazole fungicide commonly used by fruit-packaging plants (FPPs) to control fungal infections during storage. Its application leads to the production of pesticide-contaminated wastewaters, which, ... -
On-farm biopurification systems for the depuration of pesticide wastewaters: recent biotechnological advances and future perspectives
(2012)Point source contamination of natural water resources by pesticides constitutes a serious problem and on-farm biopurification systems (BPS) were introduced to resolve it. This paper reviews the processes and parameters ... -
Potential for bioremediation of agro-industrial effluents with high loads of pesticides by selected fungi
(2011)Wastewaters from the fruit packaging industry contain a high pesticide load and require treatment before their environmental discharge. We provide first evidence for the potential bioremediation of these wastewaters. Three ... -
Prokaryotic diversity in biodeteriorated wood coming from the Bükkábrány fossil forest
(2016)The oldest standing paleo-forest in the world is located at Bükkábrány in Hungary. Some 7 million years ago a sudden and rapid deposition of sands from a prograding delta resulted in rise of the level of Lake Pannon that ... -
Self-Healing pH- and Enzyme Stimuli-Responsive Hydrogels for Targeted Delivery of Gemcitabine to Treat Pancreatic Cancer
(2018)A novel, multifunctional hydrogel that exhibits a unique set of properties for the effective treatment of pancreatic cancer (PC) is presented. The material is composed of a pentablock terpolypeptide of the type ...
