Genetically Modified Microorganisms (GMOs) for Bioremediation

2013
The increasing amount of pollutants in the environment is an alarming concern to the ecosystem. A number of organic pollutants, such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and pesticides, are resistant to degradation, which represent toxological threat to wildlife as well as human beings.

Application of Genetically-Modified Microorganisms in Agriculture

1992
More than a decade ago, promising results stimulated researchers to cherish great ambitions on the applications of genetically-modified micro-organisms because the molecular tools were available to understand and modify the functioning of the genome, however, few examples can be found.

Fate of genetically modified microorganisms in the corn rhizosphere

Current Microbiology, 1989
The fates of genetically modified (GM)Escherichia coli andPseudomonas putida in the corn rhizosphere were investigated. Under hydrophonic and sterile conditions, both bacteria grew well in the presence of root exudates used as a sole carbon source. The growth patterns of wild types and genetically modified strains ofE. coli andP.

Degradation of chloro‐ and methyl‐substituted benzoic acids by a genetically modified microorganism

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, 1996
Degradation of 3-chlorobenzoic acid (3CB), 4-chlorobenzoic acid (4CB), and 4-methylbenzoic acid (4MB) as single substrates (carbon sources) and as a substrate mixture were studied in batch and continuous culture using the genetically modified microorganism Pseudomonas sp. B13 FR1 SN45P.

Role of Genetically Modified Microorganisms in Heavy Metal Bioremediation

2017
Heavy metals are natural constituents of the earth’s crust. There is a significant alteration in the geochemical cycles and biological balance of these heavy metals due to various anthropogenic activities. These anthropogenic activities result in the release of bioavailable forms of various heavy metals such as mercury, lead, cadmium, nickel, copper ...

Exploitation of Genetically-Modified Microorganisms in the Food Industry

1992
Microorganisms traditionally used for the production of fermented food have been the subject of genetic modification for a series of purposes for three main reasons: i. they are generally recognized as safe (GRAS), ii. there is ample experience to handle them on a large industrial scale, and iii.

The Release of Genetically Modified Microorganisms—REGEM 2

1992
If ripple effect is a measure of greatness in scientific discovery then GEMMOs have a lot going for them and this book dramatically illustrates the risks associated with advances being made by researchers to mobilize and control the power of the microorganism in the world's fight to perfect nature and fmd remedies for its imperfections. In the field of

Evaluating the fate of genetically modified microorganisms in the environment: Are they inherently less fit?

Experientia, 1993
Genetically modified microorganisms hold great promise for environmental applications. Nonetheless, some may have unintended adverse effects. Of particular concern for risk assessment is the simple fact that microorganisms are self-replicating entities, so that it may be impossible to control an adverse effect simply by discontinuing further releases ...

Application of genetically modified microorganisms for environmental bioremediation

2004
The wide metabolic and physiological versatility of microorganisms can be used to degrade many pollutants. Bioremediation is the technological process whereby biological systems are harnessed to effect the clean-up of environmental pollutants. Nowadays, microbial systems are employed in bioremediation programmes, generally in the treatment of soils and
