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 ...
Identification and Characterization of Peruvian Native Bacterial Strains as Bioremediation of Hg-Polluted Water and Soils Due to Artisanal and Small-Scale Gold Mining in the Secocha Annex, Arequipa
(MDPI, 2022-02)
The water and soils pollution due to mercury emissions from mining industries represents a serious environmental problem and continuous risk to human health. Although many strategies have been designed for the recovery or ...
BACTERIAL DEGRADATION AND BIOREMEDIATION OF CHLORINATED HERBICIDES AND BIPHENYLS
(Chilean Society of Soil Science/Sociedad Chilena de la Ciencia del Suelo, 2010)
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 ...
Use of vinasse, an ethanol distillery waste, as an amendment to bioremediation of diesel oil contaminated soils
(2006-01-01)
This work investigated the possibility of using vinasse as an amendment in bioremediation processes by supplying nutrients and as an extra labile carbon source that could increase the microorganisms population. Soil samples ...
Fungi for the bioremediation of pharmaceutical-derived pollutants: A bioengineering approach to water treatment
(2021-07-01)
The excessive amount of pharmaceutical compounds (PhCs) released into aquatic environments poses a risk to humans, wildlife, and environmental health. It is a serious problem that requires urgent attention. In this work, ...
Enzymes of Significance to the Restoration of Polluted Systems: Traditional and Advanced Approaches
(Sociedad Chilena de la Ciencia del Suelo, 2008)
Bioremediation of lindane-contaminated soils by combining of bioaugmentation and biostimulation: Effective scaling-up from microcosms to mesocosms
(Academic Press Ltd - Elsevier Science Ltd, 2020-12)
The scaling-up of lindane-contaminated soils bioremediation from microcosms to mesocosms bioaugmentated with an actinobacteria quadruple culture and biostimulated with sugarcane filter cake (SCFC) was surveyed. Mesocosms ...
