Effect of different phosphorus sources on soybean growth and arsenic uptake under arsenic stress conditions in an acidic ultisol.

TL;DR: Investigation of the influence of NH43PO4 (PO43-) and Ca5(PO4)3(OH) (phosphorite) in ameliorating As stress on plant physiological process against As toxicity and their role in As accumulation found highly soluble P supplementation has great potential to minimize As-induced damage to plant growth in acidic soils and improve As uptake by plants.
Journal ArticleDOI

Shift in Bacterial Community Structure Drives Different Atrazine-Degrading Efficiencies.

TL;DR: The promotion and suppression of atrazine degradation by Methylophilus and Azospirillum/Halomonas were experimentally validated in vitro, showing that shifts in both the composition and abundance in consortia can drive the change in the efficiency of catabolic function.
Journal ArticleDOI

The first characterized phage against a member of the ecologically important sphingomonads reveals high dissimilarity against all other known phages

TL;DR: This study describes the first molecular characterization of a bacteriophage infecting a member of the environmentally important Sphingomonadaceae family and confirms that Lacusarx represents a hitherto undescribed genus of phages.
Journal ArticleDOI

An updated review on synthetic approaches of green nanomaterials and their application for removal of water pollutants: Current challenges, assessment and future perspectives

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the status of green nanomaterials is presented, including classification, synthetic methodologies with mechanism, and their use in the elimination of contaminants.
Journal ArticleDOI

Repeated exposure to fungicide tebuconazole alters the degradation characteristics, soil microbial community and functional profiles.

TL;DR: In this article, the degradation of tebuconazole and the changes in soil microbial community composition and functional diversity as well as network complexity in soil repeatedly treated with the fungicide were investigated.

Pesticide Exposure, Safety Issues, and Risk Assessment Indicators

TL;DR: New tools or techniques with greater reliability than those already existing are needed to predict the potential hazards of pesticides and thus contribute to reduction of the adverse effects on human health and the environment.

The SCS/ARS/CES pesticide properties database for environmental decision-making.

TL;DR: This work has compiled the most complete collection of these properties available, using others' compilations but verifying values from the primary literature in many cases, and suggests a "Selected Value" which it believes to be the best available.

Handbook of Environmental Fate and Exposure Data: For Organic Chemicals, Volume III Pesticides

TL;DR: The Environmental Fate and Exposure of Organic Chemicals provides relevant facts on how individual chemicals behave in the environment and how humans and environmental organisms are exposed to the chemicals during their production, rise, transport, and disposal.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bioremediation approaches for organic pollutants: a critical perspective

TL;DR: This review selectively examines and provides a critical view on the knowledge gaps and limitations in field application strategies, approaches such as composting, electrobioremediation and microbe-assisted phytoremediating, and the use of probes and assays for monitoring and testing the efficacy of bioremediations of polluted sites.
