Differences in Midgut Phosphatases Activity and Hemolymph Composition in Lymantria dispar and Euproctis chrysorrhoea Larvae Exposed to the Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon Fluoranthene

Insects
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are widespread environmental pollutants that can exert significant effects on living organisms. This study investigated the effects of fluoranthene, a representative PAH, on the activities of alkaline and acid ...

The Arsenal of Aromatic Degrading Bacteria: How They Sense, Chase, Adapt and Destroy Environmental Pollutants

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 19, Issue 5, May 2026.
In the environment, bacteria sense aromatic pollutants, migrate toward them, adapt to toxicity, and deploy specialized uptake and catabolic systems. Genomic plasticity, metabolic versatility and division of labor within populations together aid in the degradation of persistent aromatics, highlights that biodegradation is driven by various eco ...

Development of an in-situ pressurised fluid extraction method for the extraction of PAHs prior to GC-MS analysis [PDF]

, 2008
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are derived from a number of sources including anthropogenic (i.e. industrial processes and combustion of fossil fuels) or natural (i.e. forest fires, volcanic activity and geological sources).

New direct contact approach to evaluate soil genotoxicity using the Vicia faba micronucleus test. [PDF]

, 2009
A method to assess micronucleus (MN) induction in Vicia faba roots by direct contact exposure to a solid matrix was developed. The procedure comprised a 5-d germination period, as in the well-known method using aqueous extracts.
