Pyrethroid-Degrading Microorganisms and Their Potential for the Bioremediation of Contaminated Soils: A Review.

TL;DR: This review presents an overview of the microorganisms that have been isolated from pyrethroid-polluted sites, characterized and applied for the degradation of pyrethroids in liquid and soil media and indicates that bioremediation has emerged as the most advantageous method for cleaning up pesticide-contaminated soils.
Journal ArticleDOI

Insight Into Microbial Applications for the Biodegradation of Pyrethroid Insecticides.

TL;DR: This review paper aims to explore pyrethroid degrading strains, enzymes and metabolites produced by microbial strains and recommends possible solutions to minimize their environmental toxicity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Simultaneous degradation of cypermethrin and its metabolite, 3-phenoxybenzoic acid, by the cooperation of Bacillus licheniformis B-1 and sphingomonas sp. SC-1.

TL;DR: This work could develop a promising approach for the simultaneous degradation of CY and its metabolite 3-PBA in agricultural soil.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bacilli-Mediated Degradation of Xenobiotic Compounds and Heavy Metals.

TL;DR: The biodegradation potentials of Bacilli toward various toxic substances, including 4-chloro-2-nitrophenol, insecticides, pesticides, herbicides, explosives, drugs, polycyclic aromatic compounds, heavy metals, azo dyes, and aromatic acids are described.

Rapid colorimetric assay for cellular growth and survival: Application to proliferation and cytotoxicity assays

TL;DR: A tetrazolium salt has been used to develop a quantitative colorimetric assay for mammalian cell survival and proliferation and is used to measure proliferative lymphokines, mitogen stimulations and complement-mediated lysis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Single cell gel/comet assay: guidelines for in vitro and in vivo genetic toxicology testing.

TL;DR: The expert panel reached a consensus that the optimal version of the Comet assay for identifying agents with genotoxic activity was the alkaline (pH > 13) versions of the assay developed by Singh et al.
Journal ArticleDOI

Endocrine disrupting pesticides: implications for risk assessment.

TL;DR: The hazardous properties of pesticides which are known to have ED properties are reviewed in order to assess the implications for risk assessment and a more precautionary approach to the use of ED pesticides, especially for non-essential purposes is proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of an opd (organophosphate degradation) gene in an Agrobacterium isolate.

TL;DR: It is suggested that Insertional mutation of the opdA gene produced a strain lacking the ability to hydrolyze OPs, suggesting that this is the only gene encoding an OP-hydrolyzing enzyme in A. radiobacter P230.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of human pharmaceuticals on cytotoxicity, EROD activity and ROS production in fish hepatocytes.

TL;DR: Compared to hepatocytes from human and dog, fish hepatocytes seemed to be more susceptible to the peroxisome proliferators (PPs) CF and FF, which may be of concern at the biological and chemical levels in a multipollution context.
