Microemulsions as a Novel Toolfor Enhancing the Bioremediation of Xenobiotics
(Springer, 2019)
Bioremediation is an advantageous and sustainable technology to remediate contaminated environments since it is cost-effective and environmentally safe.However, some pollutants such as most organochlorine pesticides and ...
Role of Actinobacteria in bioremediation
(Elsevier, 2014)
The class Actinobacteria represents an important component of the microbial population in soils. Their metabolic diversity and specific growth characteristics make them well suited as agents for bioremediation. Actinobacteria ...
Cadmium Bioremediation by a Resistant Streptomyces Strain
(CRC Press - Taylor & Francis Group, 2013)
This book describes isolated actinobacteria from different environments, and how these can be used to bioremediate heavy metals and pesticides in contaminated sites. It also describes how free-living actinobacteria acquire ...
Bioremediation Abilities of Antarctic Fungi
(Springer, 2019)
Cold environments represent a special challenge for life, even for the ubiquitous and metabolically versatile microorganisms. Therefore, bioremediation processes are hardly limited by low temperature. Most of the reported ...
Pesticide bioremediation: an approach for environmental cleanup using microbial mixed cultures
(Science Publishers, 2018)
Microbial consortia have shown to be more appropriate than pure cultures to reach the complete mineralization of toxic and dangerous chemical compounds, such as pesticides, or their transformation to nontoxic products. For ...
Cooperative Activity of Actinobacteria and Plants in Soil Bioremediation Processes
(CRC Press - Taylor & Francis Group, 2013)
Hexavalent chromium, Cr(VI), is widely used in many industrial processes such as electroplating, wood preservation, etc. The chromium manufacturing industry produces a large quantity of solid and liquid waste containing ...
Co-contaminated soils bioremediation by actinobacteria
(Springer, 2014)
More than one third of contaminated areas are found to have more than one type of pollutant. Co-contaminated environments with metals and organic compounds are difficult to remediate because the mixed nature of the pollulants. ...
Bioremediation of chromium contaminated soils by Actinomycetes: Mechanisms iInvolved
(Nova Science Publishers, 2011)
In natural water and subsurface soils chromium occurs in two major oxidation states: III and VI. Cr(VI) is approximately 1,000-fold more cytotoxic and mutagenic than Cr(III). As the application of Cr is extensive in several ...
Bioremediation of pesticides and heavy metals: a discussion about the use of different strategies using actinobacteria
(Crc Press-taylor & Francis Group, 2019)
Actinobacteria exhibit cosmopolitan distribution since their members are widely distributed in aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. In the environment, they play relevant ecological roles including recycling of substances, ...
Bioremediation of Heavy Metals by Cells or Metabolites Microbial Immobilized
(CRC Press - Taylor & Francis Group, 2018)
Heavy metals concentrations in the environment increases alarmingly. Heavy metals profoundly affect biological systems either positively because they are essential in low concentrations or negatively because they are toxic. ...
