Durability of five native Argentine wood species of the genera Prosopis and Acacia decayed by rot fungi and its relationship with extractive contentBiodegradation - Tập 21 - Trang 753-760 - 2010

The natural durability of four Argentinean species of Prosopis and one of Acacia was evaluated in laboratory tests, according to European standards, using three brown rot and one white rot fungi. These tests were complemented by assessing the wood chemical composition. All the species were from moderately slightly durable to very durable (classes 4–1), and in all cases the heartwood was the most r...... hiện toàn bộ
Uptake and degradation of EDTA by Escherichia coliBiodegradation - Tập 20 - Trang 39-44 - 2008
Yousuke Suzuki, Noriyuki Koyama
It was found that Escherichia coli exhibited a growth by utilization of Fe(III)EDTA as a sole nitrogen source. No significant growth was detected when Fe(III)EDTA was replaced by EDTA complexes with other metal ions such as Ca2+, Co2+, Cu2+, Mg2+, Mn2+, and Zn2+. When EDTA uptake was measured in the presence of various ions, it was remarkable only when Fe3+ was present. The cell extract of E. coli...... hiện toàn bộ
Long-term simulation of in situ biostimulation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon-contaminated soilBiodegradation - Tập 23 - Trang 621-633 - 2012
Stephen D. Richardson, Maiysha D. Jones, David R. Singleton, Michael D. Aitken
A continuous-flow column study was conducted to evaluate the long-term effects of in situ biostimulation on the biodegradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in soil from a manufactured gas plant site. Simulated groundwater amended with oxygen and inorganic nutrients was introduced into one column, while a second column receiving unamended groundwater served as a control. PAH and disso...... hiện toàn bộ
The glutathione S-transferase gene superfamily: an in silico approach to study the post translational regulationBiodegradation - - 2012
Ivana Puglisi, Luca Lo Cicero, Angela Roberta Lo Piero
The use of plants to reclaim contaminated soils and groundwater, known as phytoremediation, is a promising biotechnological strategy which has gained a lot of attention in the last few years. Plants have evolved sophisticated detoxification systems against the toxin chemicals: following the uptake, the compounds are activated so that certain functional groups can conjugate hydrophilic molecules, s...... hiện toàn bộ
Microbial populations related to PAH biodegradation in an aged biostimulated creosote-contaminated soilBiodegradation - Tập 20 - Trang 593-601 - 2009
Salvador Lladó, Nuria Jiménez, Marc Viñas, Anna Maria Solanas
A previous bioremediation survey on a creosote-contaminated soil showed that aeration and optimal humidity promoted depletion of three-ringed polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), but residual concentrations of four-ringed benzo(a)anthracene (B(a)A) and chrysene (Chry) remained. In order to explain the lack of further degradation of heavier PAHs such as four-ringed PAHs and to analyze the micro...... hiện toàn bộ
