A microbial consortium from a biomixture swiftly degrades high concentrations of carbofuran in fluidized-bed reactors
(2016)
An on-farm biopurification system (BPS) biomixture, with proven capacity to degrade carbofuran (CBF) was used as inoculum for a selective-enrichment process to obtain a bacterial consortium capable of using CBF as a sole ...
Ecotoxicological analysis during the removal of carbofuran in fungal bioaugmented matrices
(2016-02)
Biomixtures are used for the removal of pesticides from agricultural wastewater. As biomixtures employ high content of lignocellulosic substrates, their bioaugmentation with ligninolytic fungi represents a novel approach ...
Design of an optimized biomixture for the degradation of carbofuran based on pesticide removal and toxicity reduction of the matrix
(2015-12)
Pesticide biopurification systems contain a biologically active matrix (biomixture) responsible for the accelerated elimination of pesticides in wastewaters derived from pest control in crop fields. Biomixtures have been ...
Fungal bioaugmentation of two rice husk-based biomixtures for the removal of carbofuran in on-farm biopurification systems
(2016-02)
The ligninolytic fungus Trametes versicolor was employed in the bioaugmentation of compost- (GCS) and
peat-based (GTS) biomixtures for the removal of the insecticide-nematicide carbofuran (CFN). Among several lignocellulosic ...
Optimization of a Fungally Bioaugmented Biomixture for Carbofuran Removal in On-Farm Biopurification Systems
(2016)
Biomixtures comprise the active part of biopurification systems (BPS) for the removal of pesticide-containing wastewater from agricultural origin. Considering that biomixtures contain an important amount of lignocellulosic ...
Adaptation of biomixtures for carbofuran degradation in on-farm biopurification systems in tropical regions
(2015-07)
A biomixture constitutes the active core of the on-farm biopurification systems, employed for the detoxification of pesticide-containing wastewaters. As biomixtures should be prepared considering the available local ...
Removal of carbofuran is not affected by co-application of chlorpyrifos in a coconut fiber/compost based biomixture after aging or pre-exposure
(2016-08)
Las biomezclas constituyen la parte biológicamente activa de los sistemas de biopurificación (BPS), que se utilizan para tratar las aguas residuales que contienen pesticidas. El objetivo de este trabajo fue determinar si ...
Fungal and Bacterial Co-Bioaugmentation of a Pesticide-Degrading Biomixture: Pesticide Removal and Community Structure Variations during Different Treatments | SpringerLink
(Springer, 2021)
Biopurification systems (BPS) are employed for the treatment of pesticide-containing wastewaters. In this work, a biomixture (active core of BPS) complemented by the addition of the fungus Trametes versicolor was evaluated ...
Expanding the application scope of on-farm biopurification systems: Effect and removal of oxytetracycline in a biomixture
(2017)
Antibiotic-containing wastewaters produced in agricultural activities may depress the pesticidedegrading capacity of biomixtures contained in biopurification systems. This work aimed to assay the effect of oxytetracycline ...
An integrative water quality evaluation in two surface water bodies from a tropical agricultural region in Cartago, Costa Rica
(2021)
A monitoring study was carried out in two micro-catchments in the Reventazón basin, in Northern Cartago, Costa Rica; pesticide occurrence and water quality were analyzed. Twelve pesticides were detected, fve insecticides ...
