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 ... -
Bioaugmentation of animal feces as a mean to mitigate environmental contamination with anthelmintic benzimidazoles
(2021)Anthelmintics are used to control infestations of ruminants by gastrointestinal nematodes. The limited metabolism of anthelmintics in animals result in their excretion in feces. These could be piled up in the floor of ... -
Biodegradation of anthelmintics in soils: does prior exposure of soils to anthelmintics accelerate their dissipation?
(2022)Anthelmintics (AHs) control animal infections with gastrointestinal nematodes. They reach soil through animal faeces deposited on soils or through manuring. Although soil constitutes a major AH sink, we know little about ... -
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. ... -
The dissipation of fipronil, chlorpyrifos, fosthiazate and ethoprophos in soils from potato monoculture areas: First evidence for the enhanced biodegradation of fosthiazate
(2016)BACKGROUND: A limited number of pesticides are available for the control of soil pests in potato. This, together with the monoculture nature of potato cultivation, does not favour chemical rotation, increasing the risk of ... -
Editorial: Microbial Ecotoxicology Advances to Improve Environmental and Human Health Under Global Change

Factors affecting the efficacy of non-fumigant nematicides for controlling root-knot nematodes
(2005)Second-stage juveniles (J2) and egg masses of root-knot nematodes as well as root debris heavily infected by the latter were exposed for different periods of time to six different doses of the nematicides cadusafos and ... -
Genome-Based Metabolic Reconstruction Unravels the Key Role of B12 in Methionine Auxotrophy of an Ortho-Phenylphenol-Degrading Sphingomonas haloaromaticamans
(2020)Auxotrophy to amino acids and vitamins is a common feature in the bacterial world shaping microbial communities through cross-feeding relations. The amino acid auxotrophy of pollutant-degrading bacteria could hamper their ... -
Impact of biological factors on binding media identification in art objects: Identification of animal glue in the presence of Aspergillus niger
(2004)The materials and especially organic materials used for creation of art objects can be utilized by various microorganisms for their growth and facilitate the microbial colonization of the object. An understanding of the ... -
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 ... -
Integrated biodepuration of pesticide-contaminated wastewaters from the fruit-packaging industry using biobeds: Bioaugmentation, risk assessment and optimized management
(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 and characterisation of a Sphingomonas strain able to degrade the fungicide ortho-phenylphenol
(2016)BACKGROUND: Ortho-phenylphenol (OPP) is a fungicide used in fruit packaging plants for the control of fungal infestations during storage. Its application leads to the production of large wastewater volumes which according ... -
Isolation and characterization of soil bacteria able to rapidly degrade the organophosphorus nematicide fosthiazate
(2019)Foshtiazate is an organophosphorus nematicide commonly used in protected crops and potato plantations. It is toxic to mammals, birds and honeybees, it is persistent in certain soils and can be transported to water resources. ... -
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, ... -
Legal aspects on environmental noise and urban soundscape rehabilitation in mediterranean countries: The case of greece
(2012)Noise is an important environmental factor affecting the degradation of the urban environment and the quality of life especially where climatology favors outdoor activities and nightlife. In Greece, quality of life has ... -
”LOVE TO HATE” pesticides: felicity or curse for the soil microbial community? An FP7 IAPP Marie Curie project aiming to establish tools for the assessment of the mechanisms controlling the interactions of pesticides with soil microorganisms
(2016)Pesticides end up in soil where they interact with soil microorganisms in various ways. On the Yin Side of the interaction, pesticides could exert toxicity on soil microorganisms, while on the Yang side of interaction, ... -
Metabolic and evolutionary insights in the transformation of diphenylamine by a Pseudomonas putida strain unravelled by genomic, proteomic, and transcription analysis
(2018)Diphenylamine (DPA) is a common soil and water contaminant. A Pseudomonas putida strain, recently isolated from a wastewater disposal site, was efficient in degrading DPA. Thorough knowledge of the metabolic capacity, ... -
