Glyphosate lessons: is biodegradation of pesticides a harmless process for biodiversity?

Environmental Sciences Europe
The historical perspective on the rapid biodegradation of pesticides as a mitigating factor in environmental risk assessment is reexamined through the example of glyphosate and its implications for freshwater biodiversity.

Biodegradação bacteriana de compostos organoclorados

Química Nova, 2014
Due to their recalcitrant nature, organochlorides are already found in environment and the search for alternatives to eliminate these compounds such as biodegradation using native microorganisms is of great interest.

Designing for Degradation: Transient Devices Enabled by (Nano)Cellulose

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Recent progress in transient devices enabled by (nano)cellulosic materials is reviewed. Transiency mechanisms, advantages of nanocelluloses, and a suite of applications are discussed. A circular thinking approach coupled with life cycle assessment is applied to critically revisit the potential, advantages, and challenges of nanocellulose‐enabled ...

Multi‐omics analyses reveal the interaction between colonic microbiota and host in Min and Yorkshire pigs

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView., 2023
In the present study, we created the weight gain models with Min and Yorkshire pigs and conducted the metagenomics and metabolomics of colon contents and transcriptomics of colon tissue. Further, we revealed the characteristics and functions of the colonic microbiota in Min and Yorkshire pigs and analyzed their interactions with the host. Overall, this

Electrochemical Sensing of Lead in Drinking Water Using MWCNTs and \b{eta}-Cyclodextrin [PDF]

, 2018
Heavy metal pollution is a severe environmental problem affecting many water resources. The non-biodegradable nature of the heavy metals such as lead (Pb) causes severe human health issues, so their cost-effective, sensitive and rapid detection is needed.

A comparative study of biodegradation of vinyl acetate by environmental strains [PDF]

Annals of Microbiology, 2010
Four Gram-negative strains, E3_2001, EC1_2004, EC3_3502 and EC2_3502, previously isolated from soil samples, were subjected to comparative studies in order to select the best vinyl acetate degrader for waste gas treatment. Comparison of biochemical and physiological tests as well as the results of fatty acids analyses were comparable with the results ...

Plasticizer degradation by marine bacterial isolates : a proteogenomic and metabolomic characterization [PDF]

, 2020
Many commercial plasticizers are toxic endocrine-disrupting chemicals that are added to plastics during manufacturing and may leach out once they reach the environment.

A Bio‐Inspired Perspective on Materials Sustainability

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This perspective discusses natural materials as inspiration for sustainable engineering designs and the processing of materials. First, circularity, longevity, parsimony, and activity are presented as essential material paradigms. The perspective then uses many examples of natural and technical materials to introduce principles such as oligo ...

Environmental applications of a biodegradable cysteine-based surfactant

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2020
An improved method has been developed for the efficient synthesis of octanoyl-cysteine in single-chain form (N-octanoyl-cys) which operates as a surfactant over a wide pH range, is easily decomposed into natural products and has a high product yield. The compound offers an environmentally acceptable agent for the adsorption of a range of heavy metals ...
