Bioaugmentation of thiabendazole-contaminated soils from a wastewater disposal site: Factors driving the efficacy of this strategy and the diversity of the indigenous soil bacterial community

Papadopoulou E.S., Genitsaris S., Omirou M., Perruchon C., Stamatopoulou A., Ioannides I., Karpouzas D.G. (2018)

The application of the fungicide thiabendazole (TBZ) in fruit packaging plants (FPP) results in the production of effluents which are often disposed in adjacent field sites. These require remediation to prevent further ...

Characterization of the biodegradation, bioremediation and detoxification capacity of a bacterial consortium able to degrade the fungicide thiabendazole

Perruchon C., Pantoleon A., Veroutis D., Gallego-Blanco S., Martin-Laurent F., Liadaki K., Karpouzas D.G. (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 several toxicity tests applied to complex wastewaters and mussel biomarkers in receiving waters

Okay, O. S.; Tolun, L.; Tüfekçi, V.; Karacik, B.; Kungolos, A.; Samaras, P.; Papadimitriou, C.; Petala, M.; Tsiridis, V. (2005)

In this study, the complex wastewaters/effluents discharged to coastal regions of Turkey and Greece were sampled, and various toxicity tests were applied. The bioassays used included the assessment of the luminescence ...

Ecotoxicological properties of wastewater treated using tertiary methods

Petala, M.; Samaras, P.; Zouboulis, A.; Kungolos, A.; Sakellaropoulos, G. (2006)

The objective of this work was the examination of the efficiency of coagulation and ozonation processes for the production of reclaimed wastewater with low toxicity. Municipal secondary effluents were treated by FeCl 3, ...

Facile synthesis of C3N4/NiIn2S4 heterostructure with novel solar steam evaporation efficiency and photocatalytic H2O2 production performance

Wang A., Liang H., Chen F., Tian X., Yin S., Jing S., Tsiakaras P. (2022)

Using solar energy to obtain valuable fresh water through interface evaporation is a promising environmentally friendly technology. However, the organic pollutants in wastewater may cause potential water safety hazards. ...

Integrated biodepuration of pesticide-contaminated wastewaters from the fruit-packaging industry using biobeds: Bioaugmentation, risk assessment and optimized management

Karas P.A., Perruchon C., Karanasios E., Papadopoulou E.S., Manthou E., Sitra S., Ehaliotis C., Karpouzas D.G. (2016)

Wastewaters from fruit-packaging plants contain high loads of toxic and persistent pesticides and should be treated on site. We evaluated the depuration performance of five pilot biobeds against those effluents. In addition ...

Isolation of a bacterial consortium able to degrade the fungicide thiabendazole: the key role of a Sphingomonas phylotype

Perruchon C., Chatzinotas A., Omirou M., Vasileiadis S., Menkissoglou-Spiroudi U., Karpouzas D.G. (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

Papazlatani C.V., Kolovou M., Gkounou E.E., Azis K., Mavriou Z., Testembasis S., Karaoglanidis G.S., Ntougias S., Karpouzas D.G. (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, ...

Land spreading of wastewaters from the fruit-packaging industry and potential effects on soil microbes: Effects of the antioxidant ethoxyquin and its metabolites on ammonia oxidizers
