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

Biokatalytische Reduktionen aus der Sicht eines Chemikers
Biokatalytische Reduktionen: Enzyme katalysieren Reaktionen mit ausgezeichneter Stereo‐, Regio‐ und Chemoselektivität, was den Weg zu kürzeren Alternativrouten eröffnet. Abstract Reduktionsreaktionen spielen eine zentrale Rolle in der organischen Chemie zur Synthese chiraler Produkte. Insbesondere Enzyme katalysieren solche Reaktionen in hoher Stereo‐,

Bar-coded pyrosequencing reveals the responses of PBDE-degrading microbial communities to electron donor amendments. [PDF]
Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) can be reductively degraded by microorganisms under anaerobic conditions. However, little is known about the effect of electron donors on microbial communities involved in PBDEs degradation.

Biocatalytic Reduction Reactions from a Chemist's Perspective
Biocatalytic reductions: Enzymes catalyse reduction reactions with exquisite stereo‐, regio‐ and chemoselectivity, leading the way to shorter alternatives to classical synthetic routes! Abstract Reductions play a key role in organic synthesis, producing chiral products with new functionalities. Enzymes can catalyse such reactions with exquisite stereo‐,

Microbial Enzymes Used in Bioremediation
Emerging pollutants in nature are linked to various acute and chronic detriments in biotic components and subsequently deteriorate the ecosystem with serious hazards. Conventional methods for removing pollutants are not efficient; instead, they end up with the formation of secondary pollutants.

Growth of Dehalobacter and Dehalococcoides spp. during Degradation of Chlorinated Ethanes [PDF]
ABSTRACT Mixed anaerobic microbial subcultures enriched from a multilayered aquifer at a former chlorinated solvent disposal facility in West Louisiana were examined to determine the organism(s) involved in the dechlorination of the toxic compounds 1,2-dichloroethane (1,2-DCA) and 1,1,2-trichloroethane (1,1,2-TCA) to ethene ...

Phage inducible islands in the gram-positive cocci [PDF]
The SaPIs are a cohesive subfamily of extremely common phage-inducible chromosomal islands (PICIs) that reside quiescently at specific att sites in the staphylococcal chromosome and are induced by helper phages to excise and replicate.
