The negative impact of chemical pesticides on the environment and human health has contributed to introduction legal regulations that ensure reduction in use agrochemicals favor biological products. existing review literature, including our research, clearly shows ideal biocontrol agents are Trichoderma fungi. production antibiotics, lytic enzymes degrading cell walls plant pathogens, or induci...

Technology is important because of the high cost of obtaining fermentable sugars efficiently from cellulosic biomass. Many microorganisms capable of producing cellulose and hemicellulose-degrading enzymes have been reported and characterized. Currently, fungal cellulases are prepared and utilized to saccharify cellulosic biomass. It is known that the fungus Trichoderma reesei is able to produce...

A 17β-estradiol (E2)-degrading bacterium E2S was isolated from the activated sludge in a sewage treatment plant (STP). The morphology, biological characteristics, and 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene sequence of strain E2S indicated that it belonged to the genus Novosphingobium. The optimal degrading conditions were 30 °C and pH 7.0. The ideal inoculum volume was 5% (v/v), and a 20-mL degradation ...

OBJECTIVES Those exposed to more degrading sexual references in popular music are more likely to initiate intercourse at a younger age. The purpose of this study was to perform a content analysis of contemporary popular music with particular attention paid to the prevalence of degrading and non-degrading sexual references. We also aimed to determine if sexual references of each subtype were ass...

Background: Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is a mutagenic and carcinogenic compound mainly produced by the Aspergillus parasiticus, A. flavus, A. nomius, A. tamari, and A. pseudotamarii. AFB1 biodegradation is the most important strategy for reducing AFB1 in plant tissues. Bacteria can deactivate and biodegrade AFB1 for effective detoxification of contaminated products. The present study investigated the ...

some properties of compounds in degrading bacteria are required for biodegradation of contaminants to higher performance. those strains which have a high percentage of these features are more effective at biodegradation. the present experiments were designed to measure these parameters. in this study, measurement of cell surface hydrophobic-degrading bacteria was designed which oil was separate...

The removal of chlorpyrifos (CLP) from the environment is a matter general interest, because it one most widely used insecticides in world but presents high toxicity and persistence environment. Biological strategies are considered as good option to remediate different environmental compartments. Assisted natural attenuation was find ability kinds soils mineralise CLP. In this way, two showed c...
