Resumen
Antibiotics comprise a wide group of emerging pollutants. The growing concern about the presence of antibiotics in the environment is related to their potential of polluting both the aquatic and soil environments; nonetheless, their presence in these matrices is not properly legislated. This chapter shows some of the latest research efforts at understanding the elimination of antibiotics using whole cells and lignin modifying enzymes from white rot fungi (WRF). The first section describes some general aspects of WRF and their enzymatic complexes, emphasizing their role in the transformation of organopollutants. The second section focuses on the strategies employed for the elimination of antibiotics by fungal mediated processes with whole cells or enzymes, including the description of different configurations and removal data from synthetic wastewater and real matrices. Finally, ecotoxicological considerations regarding the potential detoxification of polluted matrices are included.

Ion acoustic instability triggered by finite amplitude polarized waves in the solar wind
Gomberoff, L.; Hoyos, J.; Brinca, A. L. (Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2005)[1] It is shown that ion-acoustic waves propagating along an external magnetic field and generated by parametric decays of circularly polarized finite amplitude waves have the properties of ion-acoustic waves observed ... -
Ion acoustic damping effects on parametric decays of Alfvén waves: Right-hand polarization
Gomberoff, L.; Gomberoff, K.; Brinca, A. L. (Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2001)We study ion acoustic damping effects on parametric decays of right-hand-polarized electromagnetic waves. We do this because ion beams have been observed in a variety of space environments, and consequently, these waves ...
