Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of this study was to examine the potential for degradation of mixtures of pesticides (chlorpyrifos, linuron, metribuzin) by a range of bacteria and fungi and to relate this capability to enzyme production and quantify the rates of degradation of the components of the mixture of xenobiotic compounds. Overall, although bacteria (19 Bacillus and 4 Pseudomonas species) exhibited tolerance to the individual and micture of pesticides actual degradation was not evident. Five species of white rot fungi were grown on minimal salts agar plates amended with 0, 10 and 30 mg L−1 of chlorpyrifos, linuron and metribuzin, individually and as a mixture with a total concentration 15 and 30 mg L−1. Four of these, T. versicolor, P. gigatea, P. coccineus and P. ostreatus, exhibited very good tolerance to the pesticides. They were also grown on a nutritionally poor soil extract agar amended with a mixture of the pesticides at different concentrations (0-70 mg L−1). Subsequently, the ability of T. versicolor, P. gigatea, P. coccineus to degrade lignin and production of laccase in the presence of mixture of the pesticides was examined as well as their capacity to degrade the pesticide mixture at different concentrations (0-50 mg L−1) in soil extract broth was quantified using HPLC. This showed that only T. versicolor had the ability to degrade linuron, after three weeks incubation although all tested species produced laccase. Subsequently, the temporal degradation rates of T. versicolor was examined in relation to temporal degradation of a mixture of the pesticides chlorpyrifos, linuron and metribuzin with total concentrations 0-50 mg L−1 and the temporal laccase production was quantified over a six week period in relation to ionic and non-ionic water potential stress ( -2.8 MPa). These studies showed that the test isolate had the ability to produce very high levels of laccase at -2.8 MPa water potential adjusted non-ionically by using glycerol and quite lower levels in soil extract broth without stress while T. versicolor did not produce laccase at -2.8 MPa when the medium was modified ionically. Finally, T. versicolor was able to degrade the pesticide linuron in all tested water regimes, after five weeks incubation, regardless of the concentration of the mixture. In contrast, about 50% of the metribuzin was degraded, only at -2.8 MPa water potential adjusted non-ionically with glycerol. Chlorpyrifos and its main metabolite TCP were not detected, possibly, due to a combination of hydrolysis, photolysis and volatilization degradation. The capacity of T. versicolor to degrade linuron in mixtures of pesticides and the production of high levels of laccase, in a nutritionally poor soil extract broth, even under water stress suggests potential application of this fungus in bioremediation.

This book was released on 2013-04-17 with total page 463 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The introduction of synthetic organic chemicals into the environment during the last few decades has given rise to major concern about the ecotoxicological effects and ultimate fate of these compounds. The pollutants that are considered to be most hazardous because of their intrinsic toxicity, high exposure level, or recalcitrant behavior in the environment have been placed on blacklists and other policy priority lists. The fate of synthetic compounds that enter the environment is mainly determined by their rate of biodegradation, which therefore also has a major effect on the degree of bioaccumulation and the risk of ecotoxicological effects. The degree and rate of biodegradation is also of critical importance for the feasibility of biological techniques to clean up contaminated sites and waste streams. The biodegradation of xenobiotics has thus been the subject of numerous studies, which resulted in thousands of publications in scientific journals, books, and conference proceedings. These studies led to a deeper understanding of the diversity of biodegradation processes. As a result, it has become possible to enhance the rate of degradation of recalcitrant pollutants during biological treatment and to design completely new treatment processes. At present, much work is being done to expand the range of pollutants to which biodegradation can be applied, and to make treatment techniques less expensive and better applicable for waste streams which are difficult to handle.

Download or read book Dehalogenation written by Max M. Häggblom and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2007-05-08 with total page 702 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Halogenated organic compounds constitute one of the largest groups of environmental chemicals. The industrial production of new halogenated organic compounds has increased throughout the last century peaking in the 1960s, and continuing in widespread use today. Organohalides are integral to a variety of industrial applications, including use as solvents, degreasing agents, biocides, pharmaceuticals, plasticizers, hydraulic and heat transfer fluids, and intermediates for chemical synthesis, to name a few. It is important to recognize the beneficial aspects of halogenated organic compounds, as well as their potentially deleterious impact on the environment and health. Recognition ofthe adverse environmental effects ofmanytypes oforganohalide compounds has led to efforts to reduce or eliminate the most problematic ones. Although organohalide compounds are typically considered to be anthropogenic industrial compounds, they have their counterpart in several thousands of natural biogenic and geogenic organohalides, representing most classes of organic chemicals. Natural sources account for a significant portion of the global organohalogen budget. This volume authored by recognized experts in the field provides a current perspective on how both natural and synthetic organohalides are formed and degraded, and how these processes are incorporated into a global halogen cycle. The focus is on microbial processes, since these play a major role both in the production and degradation, i. e. , cycling of halogenated organic compounds inthe environment. This book is organized into five parts. Part I, Introduction, provides a global perspective on the issues of organohalides and their fate in the environment.

Download or read book BIOTECHNOLOGY - Volume X written by Horst W. Doelle and published by EOLSS Publications. This book was released on 2009-11-16 with total page 538 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Encyclopedia of Biotechnology is a component of the global Encyclopedia of Life Support Systems (EOLSS), which is an integrated compendium of twenty one Encyclopedias. Biotechnology draws on the pure biological sciences (genetics, animal cell culture, molecular biology, microbiology, biochemistry, embryology, cell biology) and in many instances is also dependent on knowledge and methods from outside the sphere of biology (chemical engineering, bioprocess engineering, information technology, biorobotics). This 15-volume set contains several chapters, each of size 5000-30000 words, with perspectives, applications and extensive illustrations. It carries state-of-the-art knowledge in the field and is aimed, by virtue of the several applications, at the following five major target audiences: University and College Students, Educators, Professional Practitioners, Research Personnel and Policy Analysts, Managers, and Decision Makers and NGOs.
