Genotoxic effect of Phenanthrene on Chironomus sancticaroli (Diptera: Chironomidae) [PDF]

open access: goldZoologia (Curitiba), 2014
Phenanthrene, a Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon, remains adsorbed to sedimentary particles in aquatic environments. It affects mainly benthic organisms, and is considered potentially genotoxic.

The air pollutant phenanthrene disrupts calcium cycling and alters repolarization in female sheep ventricular cardiomyocytes [PDF]

open access: yesPhysiological Reports
Multiple epidemiological studies link cardiac dysfunction with increased levels of air pollution. While cellular mechanisms underlying such dysfunction are yet to be fully elucidated, a proposed mediator of this effect is phenanthrene, a 3‐ringed ...

Genome analysis for the identification of genes involved in phenanthrene biodegradation pathway in Stenotrophomonas indicatrix CPHE1. Phenanthrene mineralization in soils assisted by integrated approaches [PDF]

open access: goldFrontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2023
Phenanthrene (PHE) is a highly toxic compound, widely present in soils. For this reason, it is essential to remove PHE from the environment. Stenotrophomonas indicatrix CPHE1 was isolated from an industrial soil contaminated by polycyclic aromatic ...

The Effect of Humic Acid on Phenanthrene Sorption in Kaolin Clay

open access: greenسلامت و محیط, 2015
Background & Objectives: Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are considered as important organic contaminants due to their high toxicity and carcinogenic properties. Among PAHs, phenanthrene is found in most contaminated sites.

Effects of outer membrane vesicle formation, surface-layer production and nanopod development on the metabolism of phenanthrene by Delftia acidovorans Cs1-4. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Nanopods are extracellular structures arising from the convergence of two widely distributed bacterial characteristics: production of outer membrane vesicles (OMV) and formation of surface layers (S-layers). Nanopod production is driven by OMV formation,

Stimulatory and inhibitory effects of phenanthrene on physiological performance of Chlorella vulgaris and Skeletonema costatum

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
The effects of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons on phytoplankton have been extensively documented, but there is limited knowledge about the physiological responses of marine primary producers to phenanthrene at environmentally relevant levels.

Insights into the mechanisms underlying the biodegradation of phenanthrene in biochar-amended soil: from bioavailability to soil microbial communities

open access: yesBiochar, 2023
Highlights Biochar affected phenanthrene mineralization by reducing bioavailability and altering soil bacterial communities. Biochar had different effects on mineralization of phenanthrene with different concentrations in soil.

Effect of phenanthrene on physiological parameters and induction of oxidative stress in sunflower plants [PDF]

open access: yesZīst/shināsī-i Giyāhī-i Īrān, 2021
Nowadays, one of the environmental problems is the production and release of persistent organic pollutants, including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons such as phenanthrene, into the environment.

Inoculation of Triticum Aestivum L. (Poaceae) with Plant-Growth-Promoting Fungi Alleviates Plant Oxidative Stress and Enhances Phenanthrene Dissipation in Soil

open access: yesAgronomy, 2021
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are strong toxic compounds mainly released to the environment during combustion of fossil fuels, and have strong toxic effects on living organisms, with soil being one of their main reservoirs.
