Abstract Native plant species were screened for their remediation potential the removal of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) contaminated soil Bagnoli brownfield site (Southern Italy). Soils at this contain all PAHs congeners concentration levels well above contamination threshold limits established by Italian environmental legislation residential/recreational land use, which represent target. The 13 High Molecular Weight in rhizosphere, plants roots and leaves was assessed order to...
The contamination of soil with total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) may result in dramatic consequences and needs great attention, as rehabilitation would need more effort from a sustainability perspective. However, there is still no known general method since the remediation technology strictly site-specific. Adaptive biological system dynamics can play key role understanding addressing potential situ-specific combinations for pollutants removal. worst-case TPH reflects affected by heavy...
In this work the leaf surface functional traits, potentially useful for air phytoremediation of particulate matter (PM) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), 28 woody species have been characterized, role these stomata, trichomes cuticle traits in assessed looking at existing correlations with species-specific ability to sequester retain airborne pollutants. Leaves were sampled urban area August September measured using Scanning Electron Microscopy Fourier-transform infrared...
A mesocosm experiment was set-up to investigate the effects of low-density polyethylene (LDPE) fragments deriving from plastic film on soil ecology, rhizosphere and plant (Salvia officinalis L.) fitness. The internal transcribed spacer (ITS) 16S metagenomic analysis adopted evaluate taxonomic functional shifts both under influence microplastics (MPs). Photosynthetic parameters enzymes involved in oxidative stress were assessed unveil physiological state. MP analysed by scanning electron...
The rhizosphere effect occurring at the root-soil interface has increasingly been shown to play a key role in plant fitness and soil functionality, influencing plants resilience. Here, for first time, we investigated whether rootstock genotype on which Vitis vinifera L. cultivar Falanghina is grafted can influence microbiome. Specifically, evaluated extent 5BB 1103P rootstocks are able shape microbial diversity of environment. Moreover, explored potential function community its shift under...
Microplastics (MPs) are a widespread contaminant in the terrestrial environment, with potential impacts on soil-plant system not yet well understood. This study explores effects of oxidised low-density polyethylene-MPs (LDPE-MPs) rhizosphere ecology and plant fitness Fragaria x ananassa (Duchesne ex Weston) Duchesne Rozier. The rhizospheric microbial community was investigated under influence 0,5% LDPE-MPs by internal transcribed spacer (ITS) 16 S rRNA metagenomic analysis; photosynthetic...
This study investigates P. ostreatus and A. bisporus biodegradation capacity of low density polyethylene (LDPE) oxidised to simulate environmental weathering. Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used analyse the degradation LDPE treated with fungal cultures. Molecular implications by evaluated Reverse transcription followed quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR) lac, mnp lip genes expression. After 90 days incubation, FT-IR analysis showed, for both...
This work focused on the recovery and application of bioactive functional compounds (BFC) from a waste matrix, Opuntia ficus-indica (L.) Miller fruit peel (OFP), using different extraction methods: maceration Extractor Naviglio®. The presence BFC was initially evaluated by following yields antioxidant activity Folin-Ciocȃlteu reagent DPPH method, respectively. quali-quantitative content also verified with UHPLC/UV-ESI-HRMS profile OFP extracts. evaluation is aimed at extract components, such...
