Journal ArticleDOI
Environmentally effective photocatalyst CoO-TiO2 synthesized by thermal precipitation of Co in amorphous TiO2
TL;DR: In this paper, the surface decoration of CoO nanoparticles was used to degrade paraoxon and achieved a degradation performance of 11 to 24 times that of pure TiO2 or Rh2O3-TiO2 under white light (natural sunlight and fluorescence light).
Journal ArticleDOI
Developments in alternative treatments for organophosphate poisoning.
Rupa Iyer,Brian Iken,Alex Leon +2 more
TL;DR: The research undertaken in recent years that has investigated new supplementary drug options for OP treatment and support therapy is discussed, including progress in the development of enzymatic prophylaxis.
Journal ArticleDOI
A comparison of organophosphate degradation genes and bioremediation applications
TL;DR: The isolation, characterization, utilization and manipulation of the major detoxifying enzymes and the molecular basis of degradation of OP pesticides and chemical nerve agents are discussed as well as the achievements and technological advancements made towards the bioremediation of such compounds.
Journal ArticleDOI
Protein engineering of representative hydrolytic enzymes for remediation of organophosphates
Rupa Iyer,Brian Iken +1 more
TL;DR: This review will discuss the recent protein engineering strategies and achievements made in the development of evolved broad-spectrum OP degradation enzymes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Isolation and molecular characterization of a novel pseudomonas putida strain capable of degrading organophosphate and aromatic compounds
TL;DR: The observed versatility of POXN01 strain in degradation of xenobiotics makes it useful for the multi-purpose bioremediation of contaminated sites in both agricultural and industrial environmental settings.
