Journal ArticleDOI
Medical bioremediation: Prospects for the application of microbial catabolic diversity to aging and several major age-related diseases
Aubrey D.N.J. de Grey,Pedro J. J. Alvarez,Roscoe O. Brady,Ana Maria Cuervo,W. Gray Jerome,Perry L. McCarty,Ralph A. Nixon,Bruce E. Rittmann,Janet R. Sparrow +8 more
TL;DR: How microbes capable of degrading them can be isolated, characterised and their relevant enzymes engineered for this purpose and ways to avoid potential side-effects are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sunlight Promotes Fast Release of Hazardous Cadmium from Widely-Used Commercial Cadmium Pigment
Huiting Liu,Han Gao,Mingce Long,Heyun Fu,Pedro J. J. Alvarez,Qilin Li,Shourong Zheng,Xiaolei Qu,Dongqiang Zhu +8 more
TL;DR: It is underscores the importance to account for photochemical effects to inform risk assessments and regulations of cadmium pigments which are currently based on their low solubility.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biodegradation of Soybean and Castor Oil Biodiesel: Implications on the Natural Attenuation of Monoaromatic Hydrocarbons in Groundwater
Henry Xavier Corseuil,Amy L. Monier,Ana P.N. Gomes,Helen Simone Chiaranda,Mario do Rosario,Pedro J. J. Alvarez +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, microcosms were prepared with unacclimated sediment and groundwater from the Ressacada Experimental Site (Florianopolis, Santa Catarina, Brazil) and spiked with 54.8 mg/L of pure soybean or castor oil biodiesel.
Journal ArticleDOI
Photocatalytic pre-treatment with food-grade TiO2 increases the bioavailability and bioremediation potential of weathered oil from the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico
TL;DR: Results indicate that photoc atalytic pre-treatment to stimulate bioremediation of weathered oil deserves further consideration, but controlling the buoyancy and surface hydrophobicity of the photocatalysts will be important for future efforts to enable ROS generation in proximity to the target compounds.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stimulation of hybrid poplar growth in petroleum-contaminated soils through oxygen addition and soil nutrient amendments.
TL;DR: The positive response of hybrid poplars to oxygen amendments suggests that overcoming oxygen limitation to plants should be considered in phytoremediation projects when soil contamination exerts a high biochemical oxygen demand, such as in former refinery sites.
