Novel pathway of acephate degradation by the microbial consortium ZQ01 and its potential for environmental bioremediation.
Csaba Jánosi,Ziqiu Lin,Shimei Pang,Zhe Zhou,Xiaozhen Wu,Jiayi Li,Yaohua Huang,Wenping Zhang,Qiqi Lei,Pankaj Bhatt,Sandhya Mishra,Shaohua Chen +11 more
TL;DR: In this article, a microbial consortium, ZQ01, capable of effectively degrading acephate and its toxic product methamidophos, which can use acephates as a source of carbon, phosphorus and nitrogen.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microbial degradation of organophosphorus pesticides: novel degraders, kinetics, functional genes, and genotoxicity assessment
Bo Jiang,Nana Zhang,Yi Xing,Luning Lian,Yating Chen,Dayi Zhang,Guanghe Li,Sun Guangdong,Yizhi Song +8 more
TL;DR: The result demonstrated that more toxic products may be produced during the biodegradation processes of OPs, and more attention should be put not only on the pesticides themselves, but also on the toxic effects of their degradation products.
Journal ArticleDOI
Performance and microbial community analysis of bioaugmented activated sludge for nitrogen-containing organic pollutants removal.
TL;DR: It is indicated that bioaugmentation could promote the removal of nitrogen-containing organic pollutants, which should be an effective strategy for wastewater treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Remediation of soil contaminated with high levels of hexavalent chromium by combined chemical-microbial reduction and stabilization.
TL;DR: Investigation of the use of chemical reduction combined with microbial stabilization to remediate soils contaminated with high levels of hexavalent chromium found that bacterial community changed more than fungal community during the reduction process, and the species abundance and species evenness of bacteria decreased.
Journal ArticleDOI
Degradation of Acephate and Its Intermediate Methamidophos: Mechanisms and Biochemical Pathways
TL;DR: The toxicological effects of Acephate and/or methamidophos on aquatic and land animals, including humans are reviewed, as these effects promote the necessity of removing acephate from the environment.

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.
Book
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.
