Journal ArticleDOI

Plant-bacteria partnerships for the remediation of hydrocarbon contaminated soils.

S. U. Khan, +3 more
- 01 Jan 2013 - 
TL;DR: A better understanding of plant-bacteria partnerships could be exploited to enhance the remediation of hydrocarbon contaminated soils in conjunction with sustainable production of non-food crops for biomass and biofuel production.
Journal ArticleDOI

Endophytic bacteria: prospects and applications for the phytoremediation of organic pollutants.

Muhammad Afzal, +2 more
- 01 Dec 2014 - 
TL;DR: A better knowledge of plant-endophyte interactions could be utilized to increase the remediation of polluted soil environments and to protect the foodstuff by decreasing agrochemical residues in food crops.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bacterial lipases: A review on purification and characterization.

Saira Javed, +8 more
- 01 Aug 2017 - 
TL;DR: Bacterial lipases have been extensively studied during last decade, however, their wider applications demand a detailed review on purification, catalytic characterization and applications of lipases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Soil type affects plant colonization, activity and catabolic gene expression of inoculated bacterial strains during phytoremediation of diesel.

Muhammad Afzal, +4 more
- 28 Feb 2011 - 
TL;DR: The highest levels of genes expression and hydrocarbon degradation were seen in loamy soil that had been inoculated with BTRH79 and were significantly higher compared to those in other soils, indicating that catabolic gene expression is necessary for contaminant degradation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hydrocarbon degradation, plant colonization and gene expression of alkane degradation genes by endophytic Enterobacter ludwigii strains.

Sohail Yousaf, +5 more
- 01 Oct 2011 - 
TL;DR: All strains expressed the CYP153 gene in all plant compartments, indicating an active role in degradation of diesel in association with plants, and two strains showed highest degradation rates of diesel fuel up to 68% and performed best in combination with Italian ryegrass and alfalfa.
