Heavy metal contamination of water is a widespread problem in Peru and represents a potential threat to the ecosystem. Bacteria are an ecological alternative to treating these effluents. This research aims to determine the ...

Biostimulation and bioaugmentation have been proposed as sustainable alternatives to physicochemical treatments for the environmental decontamination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH). PAH-removing Pseudomonas ...

In this work, a mixed biofilm composed by Pseudomonas monteilii P26 and Gordonia sp. H19 was formed using polyurethane foam (PUF) as immobilization support, for crude oil removal from artificial sea water. Fresh immobilized ...

To help address conflicting opinions regarding the ability of chromate ions to use sulphate and phosphate membrane transporters to penetrate microbial cells, this work reports on an initial study related to the effect of ...

The development of strategies for the bioremoval of heavy metals from the environment will greatly benefit from a deep understanding of how resistance arises. For the purpose of advancing in the knowledge of resistance to ...

Rivularia halophila (R. halophila) is a filamentous cyanobacteria isolated from microbial mats of the Laguna Negra Lake (LN), Catamarca, Puna-Argentina. The LN is a high-altitude hypersaline lake, where extreme environmental ...

Microcystis is a frequent cyanobacterium bloom-forming with cosmopolitan distribution which can produce a hepatotoxin group called microcystins (MCs). These MCs are resistant to the traditional processes employed in the ...

One of the most primal ways of human work already known is the tessellation and ginning for the production of fabric and clothing - what used to be, back in those days, statement of power and status. The arrival of the ...
