TL;DR: In this article, a mycosynthesis of ferromagnetic, monodispersed, spherical, crystalline iron oxide nanoparticles (IO-NPs) of 7305 ± 1547 nm were biofabricated using manglicolous fungi Aspergillus tubingensis (STSP 25) isolated from rhizospheric sediment samples of Avicennia officinalis which was sustainably used for the removal of heavy metals from the aqueous matrix.

TL;DR: The study illuminates the necessity for the proper management of vulnerable coastal estuarine ecosystem by stringent pollution control measures along with regular monitoring and checking program.

TL;DR: Total mercury concentration in experimental sites were higher than the control area (Wilcoxon Ranked-Sum test p > 0.05), which suggested the connection between mercury bioaccumulation and sewage fed aquaculture.

TL;DR: The vertical and horizontal distribution of elements at nine sampling locations in this estuary for assessing the degree of elemental contamination revealed Cr and Cu are under Igeo Class I level of contamination.

TL;DR: Assessing the resistance pattern of wastewater bacteria against multiple HMs and plant growth promotion activity associated with indole-3-acetic acid found great promise as inoculants to promote plant growth in the presence of toxic HMs, as well as plant inoculant systems useful for phytoremediation of polluted soils.
