Oil Biodegradation by Microbial–Plant Associations
Прикладная биохимия и микробиология, 2015The degradation of petroleum hydrocarbons by plant-microbial associations, as well as the peculiarities of the interaction between microorganisms in consortium and the associated plants, have been studied. It was shown that degrader microorganisms that are part of the consortium Rhodococcus erythropolis S26, Acinetobacter baumannii 1 B, Acinetobacter ...

Environmental Pollution (1970), 1970
Abstract Oils vary in their toxicity according to the content of low-boiling compounds, unsaturated compounds, aromatics, and acids. The higher the concentration of these constituents, the more toxic the oil. After penetrating into a plant, the oil may travel in the intercellular spaces and possibly also in the vascular system.

Plant Adaptation to Oil Stress
Russian Journal of Ecology, 2004Changes in the contents of anthocyanins, ascorbic acid, and riboflavin were studied in plants growing under pollution with petroleum products along railroad tracks (Geum urbanum L., Anthriscus sylvestris L., Glecoma hederata L., Taraxacum officinalisL., Dactylis glomerata L., and Achillea millefolium L.) and in seedlings grown in soil containing 5–10 ...

Production of novel oils in plants
Current Opinion in Biotechnology, 1999We have now isolated the great majority of genes encoding enzymes of storage oil biosynthesis in plants. In the past two years, particular progress has been made with acyltransferases, ketoacyl-acyl carrier protein synthetases and with desaturases and their relatives.

Essential plant oils and headache mechanisms
Phytomedicine, 1995The rationale for using essential oils to alleviate headache is based on several assumptions. Especially for peppermint oil certain analgesic mechanisms were recently described. Local application of peppermint oil generates a long-lasting cooling effect on the skin, caused by a steric alteration of the calcium channels of the cold-receptors. Further it

Industrial Plant Oil Extraction
2020This chapter is concerned with industrial plant oil extraction from oilseeds. It includes a brief account of the principle of oil extraction, storage and preparation of oilseeds, mechanical extraction, solvent extraction, and oil refining. Different purposes of use between edible plant oil and industrial plant oil have led to the different technology ...

Tweaking enzymes for exotic plant oils
Nature Plants, 2018Plants are amazing chemical factories. Within the plant kingdom, more than 450 distinct fatty acid structures have been described. Two new C24 dihydroxy fatty acids have now been discovered that are synthesized by an unprecedented biosynthetic route termed ‘discontinuous elongation’.

Industrial oils from transgenic plants
Current Opinion in Plant Biology, 2003Unusual fatty acids that have useful industrial properties occur widely in the seed oils of many non-agronomic plant species. Researchers are attempting to use biotechnology to produce high levels of these fatty acids in the seeds of existing crop plants.

Ingestion of castor oil plant seeds
Medical Journal of Australia, 1997Ingestion of seeds of the castor oil plant is rare, and may cause toxicity but rarely death. The presumed toxic component is ricin, a highly potent cellular poison. We report the case of a young adult who ingested a large number of the seeds, causing initial toxicity, but with subsequent full recovery. The management of such ingestions and the apparent
