Journal ArticleDOI
Adaptive microbial population shifts in response to a continuous ethanol blend release increases biodegradation potential.
TL;DR: The growth of putative hydrocarbon degraders and commensal anaerobes, and increases in microbial diversity and in degradation rates suggest an adaptive response that increases the potential for natural attenuation of ethanol blend releases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development of an analytical method for pesticide residues in berries with dispersive solid phase extraction using multiwalled carbon nanotubes and primary secondary amine sorbents
TL;DR: In this paper, a dispersive solid phase extraction using primary secondary amine and multi-walled carbon nanotubes as a mixed sorbent material was developed for the multiple pesticide residue analysis of berry samples.
Book ChapterDOI
Nanotechnology-Enabled Water Disinfection and Microbial Control: Merits and Limitations
TL;DR: Several natural and engineered nanomaterials, such as silver (nAg), titanium oxide (TiO), and carbon nanotubes (CNT), are known to have antibacterial properties and are under consideration as disinfecting agents for water treatment systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Probing extracellular reduction mechanisms of Bacillus subtilis and Escherichia coli with nitroaromatic compounds.
Xinwei Zhou,Fuxing Kang,Xiaolei Qu,Heyun Fu,Juan Liu,Pedro J. J. Alvarez,Dongqiang Zhu,Dongqiang Zhu +7 more
TL;DR: It is shown that a nitroaromatic compound can be readily reduced to 3-hydroxylaminonitrobenzene and 3-nitroaniline in aqueous suspension of common bacteria and a previously unrecognized mechanism for nonenzymatic extracellular reduction of NACs by common bacteria is revealed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ionic Liquid Enriches the Antibiotic Resistome, Especially Efflux Pump Genes, Before Significantly Affecting Microbial Community Structure
Xiaolong Wang,Zeyou Chen,Quanhua Mu,Xinyan Wu,Jingjing Zhang,Daqing Mao,Yi Luo,Pedro J. J. Alvarez +7 more
TL;DR: This study suggests that [BMIm][PF6] releases could rapidly enrich the antibiotic resistome in receiving environments by increasing HGT and fortuitously selecting for efflux pump genes, thus contributing to ARG propagation.
