TLDR
The result showed that only D. radiodurans could survive in the activated sludge after 7d of incubation, and it is hoped that these findings could provide some useful information for applying the bioremediation of DBP in the authors' environment.About:

Oxidative Stress Resistance in Deinococcus radiodurans
Dea Slade,Miroslav Radman +1 more
TL;DR: These findings challenge the concept of DNA as the primary target of radiation toxicity while advancing protein damage, and the protection of proteins against oxidative damage, as a new paradigm of radiationoxicity and survival.

Phthalate esters in the environment: A critical review of their occurrence, biodegradation, and removal during wastewater treatment processes.
Dawen Gao,Zhidan Wen +1 more
TL;DR: A combination of different wastewater treatment technologies showed greater efficiency in the removal of phthalate esters than individual treatment steps, such as the combination of anaerobic wastewater treatment with a membrane bioreactor would increase the efficiency of phhalate ester removal from 65%-71% to 95%-97%.
Book ChapterDOI
Occurrence, degradation, and effect of polymer-based materials in the environment.
TL;DR: There is currently a need to establish appropriate degradation test strategies consistent with realistic environmental conditions, because the complexity of environmental systems is lost when only one process (e.g., hydrolysis) is assessed in isolation.

Effects of polyethylene microplastic on the phytotoxicity of di-n-butyl phthalate in lettuce (Lactuca sativa L. var. ramosa Hort).
Minling Gao,Yu Liu,Zhengguo Song +2 more
TL;DR: Investigation of the response of photosynthetic parameters and the antioxidant system of lettuce to di-n-butyl phthalate (DBP) stress and exposure to various concentrations of microplastic polyethylene for different durations indicated that the exposure to MP can inhibit growth, hinder photosynthesis, and interfere with the antioxidant defense system in lettuce.

Radiation-resistant extremophiles and their potential in biotechnology and therapeutics
Prashant Gabani,Om V. Singh +1 more
TL;DR: This article aims to review the strategies by which microorganisms thrive in extreme radiation environments and discuss their potential uses in biotechnology and the therapeutic industry and the major challenges that lie ahead.

The environmental fate of phthalate esters: A literature review
TL;DR: A comprehensive and critical review of the environmental fate of eighteen commercial phthalate esters with alkyl chains ranging from 1 to 13 carbons was performed by as discussed by the authors, which revealed that most published values exceed true water solubilities due to experimental difficulties associated with solubility determinations for these hydrophobic organic liquids.

Sequence heterogeneities of genes encoding 16S rRNAs in Paenibacillus polymyxa detected by temperature gradient gel electrophoresis.
Ulrich Nübel,Bert Engelen,A Felske,J Snaidr,A Wieshuber,Rudolf Amann,Wolfgang Ludwig,H. Backhaus +7 more
TL;DR: The results demonstrate the usefulness of TGGE for the structural analysis of heterogeneous rRNA genes together with their expression, stress problems of the generation of meaningful data for 16S rRNA sequences and probe designs, and might have consequences for evolutionary concepts.

Perinatal exposure to the phthalates DEHP, BBP, and DINP, but not DEP, DMP, or DOTP, alters sexual differentiation of the male rat.
L. Earl Gray,Joseph S. Ostby,Johnathan Furr,Matthew Price,D.N. Rao Veeramachaneni,Louise G. Parks +5 more
TL;DR: It is hypothesized that the phthalate esters that altered testis function in the pubertal male rat would also alter testisfunction in the fetal male and produce malformations of androgen-dependent tissues and, in summary, DEHP, BBP, and DINP all altered sexual differentiation, whereas DOTP, DEP, or DMP were ineffective at this dose.

Occurrence of phthalates and bisphenol A and F in the environment
TL;DR: Very high concentrations of BPA and phthalates were confirmed in waste dump water and compost water samples as well as in the liquid manure samples.
