Regulation Efficacy and Mechanism of the Toxicity of Microcystin-LR Targeting Protein Phosphatase 1 via the Biodegradation Pathway

Toxins, 2020
Biodegradation is important to regulate the toxicity and environmental risk of microcystins (MCs). To explore their regulation effectiveness and mechanism, typical biodegradation products originating from microcystin-LR (MCLR) were prepared and purified.

Environmental pollutions and biodegradation

African Journal of Food, Agriculture, Nutrition and Development, 2012
Innumerable novel organic compounds were synthesized during the past few decades [1]. Many of these compounds are used today as pesticides. This usage is causing serious pollution of aquatic bodies and consequently the agricultural soil and the ecosystem. There is excessive exploitation of the earth’s petroleum reserves.

Properties, environmental fate and biodegradation of carbazole [PDF]

3 Biotech, 2017
Abstract The last two decades had witnessed extensive investigation on bacterial degradation of carbazole, an N-heterocyclic aromatic hydrocarbon. Specifically, previous studies have reported the primary importance of angular dioxygenation, a novel type of oxygenation reaction, which facilitates mineralization of carbazole to intermediates of
