Degradation of pharmaceuticals, fungicides, and other xenobiotics at micromolar scale with unspecific peroxygenases (UPOs) supported by fungal oxidases: An option in wastewater treatment?

Environmental Chemistry and Ecotoxicology
Unspecific peroxygenases (UPOs) from fungi catalyze diverse oxyfunctionalization reactions on a wide range of substrates. Here, we describe a novel approach of their use for the removal recalcitrant substances from waste water.

Antioxidant and Cytotoxic Properties of Piper spp. Volatile Oils That Inhibit Pathogenic Microorganisms

Flavour and Fragrance Journal, EarlyView.
The samples were fungicidal against Candida, with MICs ranging from 62.5 to 250 μg/mL, and fungistatic against Penicillium adametzii, Aspergillus flavus and A. niger, with MICs of 1000 μg/mL. The volatile oils of Piper aduncum and Piper marginatum reduced the viability of MDA‐MB231 cells.
