Bioremediation of Pesticides: An Eco-Friendly Approach for Environment Sustainability
TL;DR: In addition to the traditional physical and chemical degradation methods, the microbial degradation method is commonly more efficient and low-cost method used for pesticide degradation as discussed by the authors, in which the microbes that demolish these pesticides use the pesticides as nutrients and break them down into tiny nontoxic molecules.

Combined treatment of contaminated soil with a bacterial Stenotrophomonas strain DXZ9 and ryegrass ( Lolium perenne ) enhances DDT and DDE remediation
Hui Xie,Lusheng Zhu,Jun Wang +2 more
TL;DR: The present study demonstrates that the bioremediation of soil contaminated with DDT and DDE by means of specific bacteria combined with ryegrass is feasible.

Biobegradation and metabolic mechanism of cyprodinil by strain Acinetobacter sp. from a contaminated-agricultural soil in China
TL;DR: A Gram-negative cyprodinil-degrader from cyproinil-polluted agricultural soil was isolated and sequencing analysis of 16 S rRNA indicated that the strain showed 99% homology to Acinetobacter sp.

Bioremediation: An Eco-friendly Sustainable Technology for Environmental Management
TL;DR: Together, the advantages of bioremediation techniques notably its cost-effectiveness at different scales ofoperation, the simplicity of operation, process monitoring, and its less destructive features to polluted sites during operation are amongst the features that make biOREmediation an eco-sustainable technology for environmental management.

Evaluation of the Strain Bacillus amyloliquefaciens YP6 in Phoxim Degradation via Transcriptomic Data and Product Analysis
Di Meng,Liyuan Zhang,Jie Meng,Tian Qiaopeng,Lixin Zhai,Zhikui Hao,Zhengbing Guan,Yujie Cai,Xiangru Liao +8 more
TL;DR: The phoxim biodegradation pathways by YP6 were proposed, for the first time, based on transcriptomic data and product analysis, according to which the hydrolase-, oxidase-, and NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase-encoding genes were significantly upregulated forphoxim hydrolysis, sulfoxidation, and o-dealkylation.

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.
