Novel Mechanism and Kinetics of Tetramethrin Degradation Using an Indigenous Gordonia cholesterolivorans A16.

TL;DR: In this article, Gordonia cholesterolivorans (A16) was identified as a tetramethrin-degrading bacterial strain, which was able to completely degrade 25 mg·L-1 after 9 days of incubation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Metagenomic analysis displays the potential predictive biodegradation pathways of the persistent pesticides in agricultural soil with a long record of pesticide usage.

TL;DR: In this paper , the physicochemical and elemental compositions of contaminated agricultural soils and natural soils were analyzed using 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing and metagenomic methods to predict microbial aided degradation in the ecology of contaminated environments.
Journal ArticleDOI

Biochar mitigates effects of pesticides on soil biological activities

TL;DR: In this article, the impact of biochar application on soil properties, microbial communities and pesticides was reviewed, highlighting future directions of research for biochar as a soil amendment for remediation of contaminated soils.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bioremediation and metabolism of clothianidin by mixed bacterial consortia enriched from contaminated soils in Chinese greenhouse

TL;DR: Results revealed that the consortia SCAH metabolized clothianidin by transformation of the nitroimino moiety to the urea compound and the cleavage of different bonds, which resulted in the degradation rate of clothIANidin being higher than the natural attenuation (CK) and biostimulation (BS).

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.
