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
(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 ... -
Biotreatment and bacterial succession in an upflow immobilized cell bioreactor fed with fludioxonil wastewater
(2021)The large quantities and the persistent nature of fungicide wastewaters have increased the efforts towards a sustainable technological solution. In this context, fludioxonil-contaminated wastewater was treated in an upflow ... -
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 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 ... -
Mixing of Fe3O4 nanoparticles under electromagnetic and shear conditions for wastewater treatment applications
(2022)The ability of heavy metals to accumulate in living organisms, combined with the fact that they are not biodegradable, necessitates an expansion and improvement of the existing water purification methods. An effective ... -
SARS-CoV-2 wastewater monitoring using a novel PCR-based method rapidly captured the Delta-to-Omicron ΒΑ.1 transition patterns in the absence of conventional surveillance evidence
(2022)Conventional SARS-CoV-2 surveillance based on genotyping of clinical samples is characterized by challenges related to the available sequencing capacity, population sampling methodologies, and is time, labor, and ... -
Using biobeds for the treatment of fungicide-contaminated effluents from various agro-food processing industries: Microbiome responses and mobile genetic element dynamics
(2022)Agro-food processing industries generate large amounts of pesticide-contaminated effluents that pose a significant environmental threat if managed improperly. Biopurification systems like biobeds could be utilized for the ...
