Soil pollution caused by heavy metals is one of the major problems throughout world. To maintain a safe and healthy environment for human beings, there dire need to identify hyperaccumulator plants underlying genes involved in stress tolerance accumulation. The goal this research explore potential hemp as decontaminator identifying two important responsive genes, glutathione ‐ disulfidereductase ( GSR ) phospholipase D α PLDα ). results revealed accumulation; Cu (1530 mg kg −1 ), Cd (151 Ni...
Levofloxacin antibiotic is frequently being detected in the environment and regarded as an emerging contaminant. The present study was focused on green synthesis of magnetite (Fe3O4 - gINPs) nanoparticles from Moringa olifera its efficiency for removal levofloxacin aqueous solution. adsorbent (Fe3O4) were prepared by using coprecipitation method. Characterizations analyses both chemically synthesized performed SEM, XRD, FTIR. average crystallite size gINPs 14.34 nm 18.93 nm. performance...
Irrigation of industrial effluents may end in the bioaccumulation various toxic metals and consequent genetic changes contaminated food crops. To test this hypothesis extent modifications, Allium cepa was performed to crops viz. tomato (Lycopersicum esculentum) chili (Capsicum annum) as is a useful tool assess variations plants. Prior A. test, plants were exposed metal concentrations 125-1000 mg/L synthetic wastewater. The extracts harvested used grow root following its standard method. tips...
Industrial sector is the backbone of development a country; however, its untreated effluents are damaging various ecological phenomena. Every day huge amounts municipal, industrial and agricultural wastes being released into environment, causing serious problems. Pakistan currently experiencing profound demographic, economic changes energy crisis that pose limitations on spending capital water treatment. However, no effort has been put forth by any agency in to characterize exact nature...
Synthetic dyes are widely used as colorant compounds in various industries for different purposes. Among all the dyestuffs, azo constitute largest and most class of dyes. These their intermediate products common contaminants ground water soil developing countries. Biological methods have been found to be promising treatment degradation these compounds. In present study, we focused on biological removal (Reactive orange 16 Reactive black 5) under aerobic conditions using an indigenous...
Malathion, a well-known organophosphate pesticide, has been used in agriculture over the last two decades for controlling pests of economically important crops. In present study, single bacterium, ML-1, was isolated by soil-enrichment technique and identified as Bacillus licheniformis on basis 16S rRNA technique. The bacterium grown carbon-free minimal salt medium (MSM) found to be very efficient utilizing malathion sole source carbon. Biodegradation experiments were performed MSM without...
A photocatalytic system for decolorization of double azo reactive black 5 (RB5) dye and water disinfection E. coli was developed. Sol gel method employed the synthesis Fe-TiO2 photocatalysts were characterized using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) coupled with energy dispersive (EDX), transmission (TEM), diffuse reflectance (DRS) Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) analysis. Results showed...
In this study, the biocontrol abilities of water-soluble and volatile metabolites three different isolates Trichoderma (T. asperellum, T. harzianum spp.) against soil borne plant pathogen Rhizoctonia solani were investigated both in vitro vivo. The results showed for first time that mycelial growth inhibition was 74.4-67.8% with as compared to 15.3-10.6% vitro. vivo antagonistic activity R. evaluated on bean plants under laboratory greenhouse conditions. We observed asperellum more effective...
The present study reports the synthesis, photocatalytic decolorization of reactive black 5 dye and phytotoxicity graphene quantum dots (GQDs) iron co-doped TiO2 photocatalysts via modified sol gel method. GQDs were synthesized by direct pyrolysis citric acid (CA).
