Differences in the biotransformation of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) between wild and axenically grown isolates of Myriophyllum aquaticum.
The aim of this study was to demonstrate the potential for aquatic plants and their associated microbes to bioremediate wetland sites contaminated with 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT). The transformation of TNT was studied using both wild and axenically grown isolates of Myriophyllum aquaticum (parrot feather). Differences in TNT transformation rates and nitroaromatic metabolites were observed betw...
متن کاملTolerance of Myriophyllum aquaticum to exposure of industrial wastewater pretreatment with electrocoagulation and their efficiency in the removal of pollutants.
The wastewater used in this study was obtained from a treatment plant where it mixed with wastewater of 142 industries and was treated using electrocoagulation with iron electrode and phytoremediation with Myriophyllum aquaticum, likewise certain biomarkers of oxidative stress of the plant were evaluated to find out its resistance to contaminant exposure. Electrocoagulation was performed under ...
متن کاملClassification of Explosives Transformation Products in Plant Tissue
Explosives contamination in surface or groundwater used for the irrigation of food crops and phytoremediation of explosives-contaminated soil or water using plant-assisted biodegradation have brought about concerns as to the fate of explosives in plants. Liquid scintillation counting, high-performance liquid chromatography, and gel permeation chromatography were utilized to characterize explosi...
متن کاملComparison of Imazapyr and Imazamox for Control of Parrotfeather ( Myriophyllum aquaticum (Vell.) Verdc.)
Parrotfeather ( Myriophyllum aquaticum (Vell. Verdc) is an invasive aquatic plant to the United States that is native to South America. Myriophyllum aquaticum is described as “stout, stems moderately elongate, partially submersed but with portions of leafy branches emersed (Godfrey and Wooten 1981). Emergent leaves are whorled, stiff, usually with 20 or more linear filiform divisions, appearing...
متن کاملComparative effects of water level variations on growth characteristics of Myriophyllum aquaticum
Myriophyllum aquaticum is a non-native aquatic plant that has invaded a range of habitats in the United States and Europe. Myriophyllum aquaticum reduces native species richness at local scales, water quality, habitat quality for fish and wildlife and impacts on human uses. Despite the submersed leaf form, M. aquaticum is not typically a weed problem as water level increases, although little da...
