Diversity-Function Relationships in Natural, Applied, and Engineered Microbial Ecosystems.
TL;DR: The current state of knowledge regarding the links between taxonomic alpha- and beta-diversity and ecosystem function is reviewed, comparing the authors' knowledge in this area to that obtained by macroecologists who use more traditional techniques.

Biodegradation Potential and Diversity of Diclofenac-degrading Microbiota in an Immobilized Cell Biofilter
Efstathia Navrozidou,Nikolaos Remmas,Paraschos Melidis,Dimitrios G. Karpouzas,George Tsiamis,Spyridon Ntougias +5 more
TL;DR: The ability of such taxa to utilize a wide range of carbon sources and to effectively adapt under acidic conditions seemed to be the main parameters, which favored their prevalence in the immobilized cell biofilter.

Efficacy of soil-borne Enterobacter sp. for carbofuran degradation: HPLC quantitation of degradation rate
Md. Akhtar-E Ekram,Indrani Sarker,Md. Sifat Rahi,Md. Atikur Rahman,Ananda Kumar Saha,Md. Abu Reza +5 more
TL;DR: The obtained results imply that the isolated strain of Enterobacter can be used as a potential and effective carbofuran degrader for bioremediation of contaminated sites through bioaugmentation.

Formulation and stabilization of an Arthrobacter strain with good storage stability and 4-chlorophenol-degradation activity for bioremediation.
Joakim Bjerketorp,Wilfred F. M. Röling,Xin Mei Feng,Armando Hernández Garcia,Hermann J. Heipieper,Sebastian Håkansson +5 more
TL;DR: A formulation based on micronized vermiculite resulted in a granular product containing the 4-chlorophenol (4-CP)-degrading Gram-positive bacterium Arthrobacter chlorophenolicus A6, which was successfully employed in an outdoor pot trial showing its effectiveness under more realistic environmental conditions.

Cross-linked enzyme-polymer conjugates with excellent stability and detergent-enhanced activity for efficient organophosphate degradation
Huan Cheng,Yu-Lian Zhao,Xiao-Jing Luo,Dian-Sheng Xu,Xun Cao,Jian-He Xu,Qing Dai,Xiao-Yan Zhang,Jun Ge,Yunpeng Bai +9 more
TL;DR: The conjugation of Pluronic F127 in enzyme immobilization could effectively reduce the activity loss of immobilized enzymes and enhance their stability and activity at high temperatures and high pHs.

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.
Book ChapterDOI
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.

Bioremediation approaches for organic pollutants: a critical perspective
Mallavarapu Megharaj,Balasubramanian Ramakrishnan,Balasubramanian Ramakrishnan,Balasubramanian Ramakrishnan,Kadiyala Venkateswarlu,Kadiyala Venkateswarlu,Kadiyala Venkateswarlu,N. Sethunathan,Ravi Naidu,Ravi Naidu +9 more
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.
