The relationship between benzo(a)pyrene biodegradation and certain target biomolecules has been investigated. To regulate the degradation process, the associated metabolism network must be clarified. To this end, benzo(a)pyrene degradation, carbon substrate metabolism and exometabolomic mechanism of Bacillus thuringiensis were analyzed. Benzo(a)pyrene was degraded through hydroxylation catalyzed by cytochrome P450 hydroxylase. After the treatment of 0.5 mg L of benzo(a)pyrene by 0.2 g L of cells for 9 d, biosorption and degradation efficiencies were measured at approximately 90% and 80%, respectively. During this process, phospholipid synthesis, glycogen, asparagine, arginine, itaconate and xylose metabolism were significantly downregulated, while glycolysis, pentose phosphate pathway, citrate cycle, amino sugar and nucleotide sugar metabolism were significantly upregulated. These findings offer insight into the biotransformation regulation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.

Benzo (a) pyrene produced by food during high-temperature process enters the body through ingestion, which causes food safety issues to the human body. In order to alleviate the harm of foodborne benzo (a) pyrene to human health, a strain that can degrade benzo (a) pyrene was screened from Kefir, a traditional fermented product in Xinjiang. Bacillus cereus M72-4 is a Gram-positive bacteria sourced from Xinjiang traditional fermented product Kefir, under Benzo(a)pyrene stress conditions, there was 69.

Mycoremediation is a biological treatment approach that relies on fungi to transform environmental pollutants into intermediates with lower environmental burden. Basidiomycetes have commonly been used as the target fungal phylum for bioaugmentation in mycoremediation, however this phylum has been found to be unreliable when used at scale in the field. In this study, we isolated, characterized, and identified potential polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) degrading fungal isolates from creosote-contaminated sediment in the Elizabeth River, Virginia.

Plot-scale natural attenuation models provide valuable insights into localized pollutant behavior but struggle to account for regional-scale hydrological processes. Existing research has predominantly concentrated on single processes, lacking comprehensive models to describe the output flux of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) by transport and transformation from soil at a regional scale. To address this gap, a model was developed by combining natural attenuation processes (e.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigated how low and high concentrations of compounds B[a]P and Cd affect the growth and metabolism of the grass species Poa pratensis through pot experiments.
- At low levels of Cd, the plants showed increased growth and antioxidant compounds, while high levels severely reduced growth and photosynthetic efficiency.
- P. pratensis demonstrated a strong ability to tolerate and mitigate the toxic effects of these contaminants by enhancing its antioxidant activity and improving water-use efficiency, proving effective in degrading B[a]P and extracting Cd from contaminated soils.

Benzo(a)pyrene (BaP) is a well-known environmental contaminant that poses significant risks due to its carcinogenic nature and it is crucial to remove it from the environment, especially in wastewater. Thus, this study aims to enhance the degradation of BaP in wastewater through the optimised interaction of the fungus and the bacterium . The ideal initial pH and temperature ranges for optimising BaP breakdown were determined using response surface methodology (RSM).
