Evaluation of crude oil biodegradation using mixed fungal cultures.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2021
The use of potent fungal mixed cultures is a promising technique for the biodegradation of crude oil. Four isolates of fungi, namely, Alternaria alternata (AA-1), Aspergillus flavus (AF-3), Aspergillus terreus (AT-7), and Trichoderma harzianum (TH-5 ...

Standardization of activated sludge for biodegradation tests [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Activated sludges are an inoculum source commonly used in biodegradation studies, as wastewater treatment facilities constitute an entry point to the environment for many chemicals.

Carbon isotope fractionation during aerobic biodegradation of trichloroethene by Burkholderia cepacia G4: a tool to map degradation mechanisms [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
The strain Burkholderia cepacia G4 aerobically mineralized trichloroethene (TCE) to CO2 over a time period of similar to20 h. Three biodegradation experiments were conducted with different bacterial optical densities at 540 nm (OD(540)s) in order to test

Biodegradable Polydepsipeptides [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2009
This paper reviews the synthesis, characterization, biodegradation and usage of bioresorbable polymers based on polydepsipeptides. The ring-opening polymerization of morpholine-2,5-dione derivatives using organic Sn and enzyme lipase is discussed. The dependence of the macroscopic properties of the block copolymers on their structure is also presented.

Effects of thermochemical pretreatment on the biodegradability of sludge from a biological wastewater treatment system [PDF]

open access: yesMaejo International Journal of Science and Technology, 2010
The effects of thermochemical pretreatment on the sludge biodegradability were examined. Two types of tests were conducted: aerobic biodegradation and denitrification using thermochemically pretreated sludge as carbon source.

Optimization of Biodegradation Characteristics of Sphingopyxis sp. YF1 against Crude Microcystin-LR Using Response Surface Methodology

open access: yesToxins, 2022
Sphingopyxis sp. YF1 has proven to be efficient in biodegrading microcystin (MC)-leucine (L) and arginine (R) (MC-LR); however, the optimal environmental factors to biodegrade the toxin have not been investigated.

Biodegradation and electro-assisted biodegradation of 1,4-dioxane under different electron accepting conditions

open access: yes, 2023
1,4-Dioxane (DX) is an emerging contaminant of concern in water resources. In the past, it was commonly utilized to stabilize chlorinated solvents, and it has now been discovered as a contaminant present in various personal care and food products.

Microbiome−host proteostasis crosstalk—An emerging perspective on mechanisms and interventions toward healthy longevity

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Proteostasis and the gut microbiota play a key role in shaping host physiology. Microbiota‐derived metabolites, vitamins, and RNA modulate host proteostasis. Findings from model systems, including C. elegans, indicate microbes can either stabilize or disrupt host proteostasis.

Aerobic nonylphenol degradation and nitro-nonylphenol formation by microbial cultures from sediments [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Nonylphenol (NP) is an estrogenic pollutant which is widely present in the aquatic environment. Biodegradation of NP can reduce the toxicological risk. In this study, aerobic biodegradation of NP in river sediment was investigated.
