Environmental Detoxification of Benzimidazole Fungicide Fuberidazole via Microbial Action in Liquid Cultures.

Mitigation of the environment from hazardous pesticides is clamant for all living things. The behavior of the fungicide Fuberidazole was investigated toward biodegradation. Biotransformation experiments were conducted by bacterial strains isolated from soils including, (XC), and (PS), and fungal strains including, (AF), (AN) and (PC).

Mycotoxins in , their quantification and HPLC analysis of physico-biological detoxification.

Present research delves in the isolation, extraction and identification of mycotoxins from ten corn samples collected from the northern province of Pakistan. Average concentration of aflatoxin B1 and B2 by HP-TLC found in all corn samples was 27.87 and 1.

Analysis and quantification of naturally occurring aflatoxin B1 in dry fruits with subsequent physical and biological detoxification.

Current research involves extraction, identification and detoxification of mycotoxins from ten dry fruit samples. Mycotoxins were identified by high performance thin layer chromatography followed by physical and biological detoxification, analysed by HPLC. Three fungal species were observed after isolation including, and HP-TLC analysis revealed the presence of mycotoxin, aflatoxin B1 ranging from 0.

Effective Remediation Strategy for Xenobiotic Zoxamide by Pure Bacterial Strains, , and .

Zoxamide, a class IV hazardous fungicide, is perilous for the environment due to its highly persistent nature. Up till the current date, there are no reports on the biodegradation of zoxamide. The scarcity of knowledge in this domain led to the present research to evaluate the biodegradation of this benzamide fungicide by three bacterial strains, (EC) (SPy), and (SP).

Efficient fungal and bacterial facilitated remediation of thiencarbazone methyl in the environment.

Triazole herbicide, Thiencarbazone-methyl (TCM) applied on different crops for weedicidal activity is associated with an inherent toxicity towards bladder and urinary functionality. TCM has been first time explored for its biodegradative behavior utilizing microbes, previously isolated from soils. Simulated bio-transformation assemblies of five fungal strains; Aspergillus flavus (AF), Penicillium chrysogenum (PC), Aspergillus niger (AN), Aspergillus terrus (AT), Aspergillus fumigatus (AFu) and two bacterial strains: Xanthomonas citri (XC), Pseudomonassyringae (PS), were utilized.

Bioelectrochemical systems: Sustainable bio-energy powerhouses.

Bioelectrochemical systems comprise of several types of cells, from basic microbial fuel cells (MFC) to photosynthetic MFCs and from plant MFCs to biophotovoltaics. All these cells employ bio entities at anode to produce bioenergy by catalysing organic substrates while some systems convert solar irradiation to energy. The current review epitomizes the above-mentioned fuel cell systems and elucidates their electrical performances.
