Microbial biodegradation of polyaromatic hydrocarbons.
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are widespread in various ecosystems and are pollutants of great concern due to their potential toxicity, mutagenicity and carcinogenicity. Because of their hydrophobic nature, most PAHs bind to particulates in soil and sediments, rendering them less available for biological uptake. Microbial degradation represents the major mechanism responsible for the ...
متن کاملQuantum chemical characterization of dimeric polyaromatic hydrocarbons
Polyaromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) has been considered to be an important interstellar species for a relatively long time because of its possible linkage to lifeforms. Despite its importance, however, interactions of individual PAH molecules have not been well understood. In this study, characteristics of dimers of various PAHs are investigated using ab initio quantum chemical approach. It is found...
متن کاملSteroid Hormones: Membrane transporters of steroid hormones
The discovery of a plasma membrane ABC protein that exports steroids in yeast highlights the possibility that similar membrane sorting systems in mammalian cells may modulate the access of steroids to their receptors.
متن کاملBiodegrader metabolic expansion during polyaromatic hydrocarbons rhizoremediation.
Root-microbe interactions are considered to be the primary process of polyaromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) phytoremediation, since bacterial degradation has been shown to be the dominant pathway for environmental PAH dissipation. However, the precise mechanisms driving PAH rhizostimulation symbiosis remain largely unresolved. In this study, we assessed PAH degrading bacterial abundance in contaminate...
متن کاملCoarse-grained interaction potentials for polyaromatic hydrocarbons.
Using Kohn-Sham (KS) density-functional theory, we have studied the interaction between various polyaromatic hydrocarbon molecules. The systems range from monocyclic benzene up to hexabenzocoronene (hbc). For several conventional exchange-correlation functionals total potential-energy curves of interaction of the pi-pi stacking hbc dimer are reported. It is found that all pure local density or ...
