Role of Microbes and Nanomaterials in the Removal of Pesticides from Wastewater

International Journal of Photoenergy, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022
Pesticides are a class of xenobiotic compounds that are recalcitrant and show persistence in the environment for a longer period of time. Research studies have linked their potential for mutagenicity, teratogenicity, and carcinogenicity. The accumulation of pesticides in water sources due to runoff from agricultural lands has posed a serious threat to ...

Isolation and Characterization of Diesel‐Degrading Bacteria from Hydrocarbon‐Contaminated Sites, Flower Farms, and Soda Lakes

International Journal of Microbiology, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022
Hydrocarbon‐derived pollutants are becoming one of the most concerning ecological issues. Thus, there is a need to investigate and develop innovative, low‐cost, eco‐friendly, and fast techniques to reduce and/or eliminate pollutants using biological agents.

Reverse protein engineering of a novel 4‐domain copper nitrite reductase reveals functional regulation by protein–protein interaction

The FEBS Journal, Volume 288, Issue 1, Page 262-280, January 2021., 2021
We discovered a new class of 4‐domain Cu‐containing nitrite reductase (CuNiR) from Bradyrhizobium sp. ORS 375 that has both cytochrome (Cytc) and cupredoxin (Cup) domains tethered to catalytic core (Core) domain at the N‐terminus. This article reports the first characterization of this enzyme (BrNiR) and its domain‐truncated 3‐ and 2‐domain mutants ...

rRNA Analysis Based on Long‐Read High‐Throughput Sequencing Reveals a More Accurate Diagnostic for the Bacterial Infection of Ascites

BioMed Research International, Volume 2021, Issue 1, 2021., 2021
Traditional pathogenic diagnosis presents defects such as a low positivity rate, inability to identify uncultured microorganisms, and time‐consuming nature. Clinical metagenomics next‐generation sequencing can be used to detect any pathogen, compensating for the shortcomings of traditional pathogenic diagnosis.

Factors Influencing the Bacterial Bioremediation of Hydrocarbon Contaminants in the Soil: Mechanisms and Impacts

Journal of Chemistry, Volume 2021, Issue 1, 2021., 2021
The discharge of hydrocarbons and their derivatives to environments due to human and/or natural activities cause environmental pollution (soil, water, and air) and affect the natural functioning of an ecosystem. To minimize or eradicate environmental pollution by hydrocarbon contaminants, studies showed strategies including physical, chemical, and ...

Active Intermediates in Copper Nitrite Reductase Reactions Probed by a Cryotrapping‐Electron Paramagnetic Resonance Approach

Angewandte Chemie, Volume 132, Issue 33, Page 14040-14044, August 10, 2020., 2020
Metalloenzyme catalysis: Through the use of cryoreduction and annealing, a method of studying electron transfer in redox active metalloenzymes is developed. Combined with electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy, active states in the catalytic cycle of the copper containing nitrite reductases are probed.

The effect of essential oils and their combinations on bacteria from the surface of fresh vegetables

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 8, Issue 10, Page 5601-5611, October 2020., 2020
Is very useful to know the pathogenic strains occurrence in different geographic regions, to prevent disease occurrence in population and among the tourists, how are more susceptible to foodborne pathogens. The main goal was the detection of active antimicrobial essential oil compositions that will be used as ingredients in active packaging materials ...

Bactericidal and virucidal activity of ethanol and povidone‐iodine

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 9, Issue 9, September 2020., 2020
The present study provides an overview of the bactericidal and virucidal activity of ethanol and povidone‐iodine based on a systematic literature search. Both ethanol and povidone‐iodine have an inactivating effect on bacteria and viruses depending on the concentrations used.
