Bioaccumulation of Chlorpyrifos (CP) as pesticides due to their aggrandized use in agriculture has raised serious concern on the health of ecosystem and human beings. Moreover, their degraded products like 3,5,6-trichloro-2-pyridinol (TCP) has enhanced the distress due to their unpredictable biotoxicity. This study evaluates and deduce the comparative in vivo mechanistic biotoxicity of CP and TCP with zebrafish embryos through experimental and computational approach.

Bioremediation has been proved as one of the key eco-compatible method for reducing these environmental toxicants. This study explores and evaluate the effectiveness of a combined process including solar Photo-Fenton process followed by bacterial degradation using Ochrobactrum sp.

Bioremediation process has been proven promising in degrading these toxic molecules and restoring the physio-chemical properties of soil. This work reports a laboratory microcosm study in both non-sterile & sterile conditions, conducted over a period of 56 days to examine the combined effect of additional supplements like biostimulants (BSs) such as N, P, and K in the presence of suitable carrier materials (compost, wheat straw, and corncob) along with bioaugmentation by a sp.

The de novo assembled genome reported in this paper featured a size of 3,809,532 bp, has GC content of 68% and contains 3602 genomic features, including 3551 protein-coding genes, 46 tRNA and 5rRNA. A biosurfactant biosynthesis gene cluster in the genome of the isolated strain was identified using AntiSMASH online tool V3.
