Bacterial degradation of chlorophenols and their derivatives

TL;DR: The biochemical and genetic basis of the degradation of CPs and their derivatives is described, which includes the metabolic pathways for degradation in bacteria and the genes and enzymes involved in the degradation in various CPs.
Journal ArticleDOI

An overview of chlorophenols as contaminants and their removal from wastewater by adsorption: A review.

TL;DR: The π-π dispersion interaction mechanism, hydrogen bonding formation mechanism, and the electron donor-acceptor complex mechanism were proposed for the chlorophenols adsorption onto various adsorbents with the help of current literature.
Journal ArticleDOI

The toxic effects of chlorophenols and associated mechanisms in fish

TL;DR: Recent studies on the alteration of DNA methylation by CPs through high-throughput DNA sequencing analysis provide new insights into the understanding of the epigenetic mechanisms underlying CPs toxicity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Improved performance of simultaneous nitrification and denitrification via nitrite in an oxygen-limited SBR by alternating the DO.

TL;DR: Analysis showed that the metabolic potential of the bacterial community for amino acids, nucleotides, coenzymes and inorganic ions decreased, while the relative abundance of key enzymes involved in nitrification and denitrification, and the relative population of denitrifying bacteria increased when the DO decreased.

Persulfate non-radical activation by nano-CuO for efficient removal of chlorinated organic compounds: Reduced graphene oxide-assisted and CuO (0 0 1) facet-dependent

TL;DR: In this article, reduced graphene oxide modified spindle-like CuO (CuO/rGO, no preferential exposed crystal facet) and sheet-like cuO-persulfate system exhibited much better 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (TCP) removal rate than spindle like CuO-polygonal polysilicon dioxide (SiO)-based CuO.

The COG database: an updated version includes eukaryotes

TL;DR: A major update of the previously developed system for delineation of Clusters of Orthologous Groups of proteins (COGs) from the sequenced genomes of prokaryotes and unicellular eukaryotes is described and is expected to be a useful platform for functional annotation of newlysequenced genomes, including those of complex eukARYotes, and genome-wide evolutionary studies.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons: environmental pollution and bioremediation

TL;DR: The problems of PAH pollution and PAH degradation, and relevant bioremediation efforts are discussed and chemotaxis could also have an important role in enhancing biodegradation of pollutants.
