Journal ArticleDOI
Biosurfactants are useful tools for the bioremediation of contaminated soil: a review
TL;DR: An overview of characteristics of natural and synthetic surfactants and the effects of biosurfactants on solubility, sorption and biodegradation of hydrophobic organic contaminants; as well as the effects on degrader microorganisms as white-rot fungi are provided.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gabriela Briceño,María Soledad Fuentes,Graciela Palma,Milko A. Jorquera,Maria Julia del R. Amoroso,Maria Julia del R. Amoroso,María Cristina Diez +6 more
TL;DR: Given the high CP degradation observed here, the Streptomycetes strains show a good potential as CP-degrading actinobacteria, one of the few reports ofStreptomyces asCP-degraders.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transformation of Chlorinated Phenolic Compounds by White Rot Fungi
TL;DR: This review analyzes the presence of chlorophenols in the environment, their main chemical and physical properties, and the main processes in their degradation by white rot fungi with particular attention to soil environment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ainhoa Letamendia,Celia Quevedo,Izaskun Ibarbia,Juan M. Virto,Olaia Holgado,María Cristina Diez,Juan Carlos Izpisua Belmonte,Carles Callol-Massot +7 more
TL;DR: An automated high-throughput platform for in vivo chemical screenings on zebrafish embryos that includes automated methods for embryo dispensation, compound delivery, incubation, imaging and analysis of the results is developed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Operational factors and nutrient effects on activated sludge treatment of Pinus radiata kraft mill wastewater.
TL;DR: The biodegradability of Pinus radiata bleached kraft mill wastewater by an activated sludge treatment during a period of 280 days was evaluated and the system showed destabilisation and pH, COD, BOD5 and suspended solids removal decreased, while removal of total phenolic compounds and tannin and lignin was seriously affected by HRT.
