Cadmium resistant plant growth promoting rhizobacteria Serratia marcescens S2I7 associated with the growth promotion of rice plantEnvironmental Sustainability - Tập 2 - Trang 135-144 - 2019
Rhitu Kotoky, Sudipta Nath, Dinesh Kumar Maheshwari, Piyush Pandey
Cadmium (Cd) is one of the most toxic contaminants in the environment. The contamination of crop fields with metals like Cd may lead to a significant decrease in productivity due to related toxicity. The present study was conducted with aim to enhance the growth of rice (Oryza sativa), in Cd contaminated soil, by the application of heavy metal resistant—plant growth promoting rhizobacteria, Serrat...... hiện toàn bộ
Antibacterial agents used in COVID-19: A systematic review and meta-analysisEnvironmental Sustainability - Tập 4 - Trang 503-513 - 2021
Swati Sharma, Aradhana Singh, Tuhina Banerjee
There have been speculations regarding rise in antimicrobial resistance (AMR) globally owing to indiscriminate antibiotic usage during the COVID-19 pandemic. To curb the menace through decisive policies, it is essential to assess the antibiotics, particularly the antibacterial agents. This systematic review and meta-analysis were performed to assess antibiotic use in COVID-19 patients. A thorough ...... hiện toàn bộ
Destructive mycolytic suppression of Fusarium oxysporum causing wilt in chickpea by fungicide tolerant actinobacteriaEnvironmental Sustainability - Tập 5 - Trang 243-253 - 2022
Trepti Singh, Verinder Wahla, R. C. Dubey, D. K. Maheshwari
The present study is aimed to evaluate the integrated effects of the chemical fungicide Bavistin (carbendazim 50% WP) on adaptive variants of rhizospheric actinobacteria in providing protection to the chickpea from wilt caused by Fusarium oxsysporum. Actinobacterial isolates recovered from the rhizospheric region were screened for their antibiosis against the fungal pathogen F. oxysporum. Among th...... hiện toàn bộ

Decoding the pathways of arsenic biotransformation in bacteriaEnvironmental Sustainability - Tập 4 Số 1 - Trang 63-85 - 2021
Singh, Neelam, Ghosh, Prasanta Kumar, Chakraborty, Shohini, Majumdar, Sukanta
Arsenic (As), a heavy metalloid, occupies the topmost position in the list of the top ten hazardous chemicals published by the World Health Organization. The contamination of arsenic in groundwater predominantly utilized for irrigation and drinking is responsible for serious public health issues across the globe. The two most common arsenic species, i.e., inorganic arsenate and arsenite, are toxic...... hiện toàn bộ
Properties of biochar and its potential role in climate change mitigation and bioenergy generation: a reviewEnvironmental Sustainability - Tập 4 - Trang 637-647 - 2021
Abudu Ballu Duwiejuah, Abdul-Halim Abubakari, Yakubu Amadu, Godwin Abakari
The specific uses of biochar are mostly dependent on its physico-chemical properties. Importantly, there are high demands for energy and fossil fuels consumption which elicit a greater threat to environmental sustainability. Agricultural and other waste substances can be recycled through pyrolysis into biochar, value-added products and for energy production. The properties of biochar can greatly i...... hiện toàn bộ

Leafy vegetables are important for food security and human health and nutrition. However, their growth, development and yield are often affected by weeds. Therefore, we investigated the growth performance and ferulic acid composition of Amaranthus species and Mitracarpus villosus in competition with local weed species by measuring growth and productivity rate, morphological anomalies, chlorophyll ...... hiện toàn bộ
Assessment of phytoremedial potential of invasive weeds Acalypha indica and Amaranthus viridisEnvironmental Sustainability - Tập 3 - Trang 415-425 - 2020
Dharitri B. Ramanlal, Rita N. Kumar, J. I. Nirmal Kumar, Rashmi Thakkar
In the present study intercropping of two plant species was carried out over a soil contaminated with five heavy metals lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), cobalt (Co) and nickel (Ni). The experimental setup was designed in such a manner that the effluent stream passed intermittently for 60 days through the plant species Acalypha indica and Amaranthus viridis grown on-site after which the spec...... hiện toàn bộ
