Assembly of root-associated microbiomes of typical rice cultivars in response to lindane pollution
Environment International, 2019 Organochlorine pesticides have been extensively used for many years to prevent insect diseases of rice (Oryza sativa L.), but little is known about their residual impacts on the underground micro-ecology in anaerobic environment. In this glasshouse study,

A Multivariate Machine Learning Model of Adsorptive Lindane Removal from Contaminated Water
Applied Sciences, 2023 It is challenging to use conventional one-variable-at-time (OVAT) batch experiments to evaluate multivariate/inter-parametric interactions between physico-chemical variables that contribute to the adsorptive removal of contaminants.

Synergistic rhizosphere degradation of γ-hexachlorocyclohexane (lindane) through the combinatorial plant-fungal action. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Fungi are usually involved in degradation/deterioration of many anthropogenic wastes due to their verse enzyme secretions and adaptive capabilities. In this study, five dominant fungal strains were isolated from an aged lindane polluted site, they were ...

Kinetic and sequence-structure-function analysis of known LinA variants with different hexachlorocyclohexane isomers [PDF]
, 2015 BACKGROUND Here we report specific activities of all seven naturally occurring LinA variants towards three different isomers, α, γ and δ, of a priority persistent pollutant, hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH).

Lindane degradation in wet-dry cycling soil as affected by aging and microbial toxicity of biochar
Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2021 This study determined the degradation of lindane in soil amended with biochar to evaluate the effects of biochar aging and microbial toxicity. Two biochars were prepared at 400 and 600 °C (BC400 and BC600) and subjected to acid washing to remove ...

Bioavailability of pesticides in freshwater sediments [PDF]
, 2007 In ecological risk assessment standardized sediment toxicity tests are used to predict the hazard of chemicals for sediment-living organisms. Feeding is a prerequisite in these long-term tests to avoid starvation of test organisms.

Food Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.Abstract Honeybees (Apis mellifera L.) are an important class of insects that are the most beneficial in terms of economy. Beeswax is the second most important bee products after honey. Its commercial importance is due to its antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti‐inflammatory and antiseptic as well as regenerative properties.
