Isolation and optimization of microbial consortia for the biodegradation of two persistent fluorinated fungicides
Alexandrino D., Mucha A., Almeida C., (Corresponding) Carvalho M.
Topic:
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
Microbial consortia capable of completely removing and defluorinating two persistent fluorinated fungicides, epoxiconazole (EPO) and fludioxonil (FLU), were enriched from an estuarine sediment and an agriculture soil. The enrichments were conducted along 6 months, during which the fungicides were...Read more
The role of microbiological community on organic micropollutants biotransformation in anoxic conditions
(Corresponding) Martinez-Quintela M., Balboa S., Suárez S., Omil F.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
Information about the biotransformation of organic micropollutants (OMPs) in biological systems is currently scarce, particularly in anoxic environments. A lab-scale reactor was set up to elucidate which is the biological mechanism driving OMPs biotransformation in heterotrophic denitrifying...Read more
Understanding the alteration of organic pollutants and microbiome profiles in a petrochemical wastewater biotreatment process
Wu F., (Corresponding) Deng F., Liu S., Hose G., Simon G.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
A better understanding of the alteration of organic pollutants and microorganisms in wastewater biotreatment processes is essential for the elucidation of pollutant removal mechanisms. This study investigated the alteration of organic pollutants, microbial communities and functional genes in a...Read more
