Immobilization of Halomonas halodurans and Bacillus halodurans in packed bed bioreactor for continuous removal of phenolic impurities in waste water.

Phenol is an organic contaminant widely distributed in wastewater. Biodegradation is one of the suitable methods used to remove phenol from the wastewater. In this study, the bacterial laccase and pectinase were analyzed and phenol degradation potential was studied.

Biocatalytic degradation of organophosphate pesticide from the wastewater and hydrolytic enzyme properties of consortium isolated from the pesticide contaminated water.

The indiscriminate application of various pesticides leads to toxicity to the humans, animals, fishes and threatens the environment and ecosystem. The present study was aimed to investigate pesticide degrading bacteria from the pesticide contaminated sample and to localize organophophate hydrolase activity from the bacteria. Sediment sample was selected as the source of microorganism for the degradation of chlorpyrifos.

Effective removal of pharmaceutical impurities and nutrients using biocatalyst from the municipal wastewater with moving bed packed reactor.

The presence of antibiotics in the wastewater is one of the important issues related to environmental management. In this study, antibiotics-degrading bacteria were screened from the enriched sewage sludge sample. Among the isolated bacterial strains, Bacillus subtilis AQ03 showed maximum antibiotic tolerance (>2000 ppm).

Dye degradation, antimicrobial and larvicidal activity of silver nanoparticles biosynthesized from .

The present study aimed in green synthesis and characterization of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using the leaves of . The NPs showed various absorption peaks between 3402 cm and 1063 cm. FTIR spectrum revealed the presence of OH group, alkene, aromatic hydrocarbon, aliphatic fluro compound and aliphatic chloro compounds.

poisoning affects mitochondrial respiration and induces oxidative stress in the rat kidney.

is a poisonous shrub used for deliberate self-harm in rural areas of South India and intake of boiled decoction of leaves is a common method of self-harm. Distal renal tubular acidosis (dRTA) is an important clinical symptom observed in poisoning, and renal V-ATPases may be potential targets of damage. However, a lack of understanding of molecular mediators involved hampers medical management, which is mainly supportive.
