Genetic manipulations of microorganisms for the degradation of hexachlorocyclohexane [PDF]
Hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) is an organochlorine insecticide which has been banned in technologically advanced countries. However, it is still in use in tropical countries for mosquito control and thus new areas continue to be contaminated. Anaerobic degradation of HCH isomers have been well documented but until recently there have been only a few ...

ABSTRACT The ammonia monooxygenase subunit A (amoA) gene has been used to investigate the phylogenetic diversity, spatial distribution and activity of ammonia‐oxidising archaeal (AOA) and bacterial (AOB), which contribute significantly to the nitrogen cycle in various ecosystems. Amplicon sequencing of amoA is a widely used method; however, it produces

Environmental Risk Factors for Parkinson's Disease: A Critical Review and Policy Implications
Abstract The age‐standardized prevalence of Parkinson's disease (PD) has increased substantially over the years and is expected to increase further. This emphasizes the need to identify modifiable risk factors of PD, which could form a logical entry point for the prevention of PD. The World Health Organization (WHO) has recommended reducing exposure to

Cyanobacteria‐Pesticide Interactions and Their Implications for Sustainable Rice Agroecosystems
Modern agricultural practices rely heavily on fertilizers and pesticides to boost crop yields, essential for feeding the growing global population. However, their extensive use poses significant environmental risks. Chemical‐based fertilizers and pesticides persist in ecosystems, potentially harming ecological stability.
