Abstract Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) are one of the most widely used nanoparticulate materials due to their antimicrobial properties, but main mechanism action (MOA) has not been fully elucidated. This study characterized ZnO NPs by using X-ray diffraction, FT-IR spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. Antimicrobial activity against clinically relevant bacteria Escherichia coli , Staphylococcus aureus Pseudomonas aeruginosa Gram-positive model Bacillus subtilis was evaluated...
Tebuthiuron is often used to control weed growth in sugarcane cultures. This herbicide highly toxic and can persist soil for up 2 years according its degradation half-life. Hence, residual effect hazardous the environment local habitants via leaching, surface runoff. Screening out of species green manure as potential phytoremediators tebuthiuron soil, with no vinasse, accordingly scientific point this study. Green selected trial greenhouse were jack bean [ Canavalia ensiformis (L.) DC.],...
The aim of this work was to compare different toxicity levels lubricant oils. tests were performed using the earthworm (Eisenia andrei), arugula seeds (Eruca sativa) and lettuce (Lactuca sativa), with three types contaminants (mineral oil, synthetic oil used oil) for various biodegradation periods in soil. indirectly measured contaminants. samples analyzed at t0, t60, t120 t180 days biodegradation. proved very toxic all even after its high. mineral oils biodegraded efficiently soil although...
Vegetable oils and their derivatives, like biodiesel, are used extensively throughout the world, thus posing an environmental risk when disposed. Toxicity testing using test organisms shows how these residues affect ecosystems. tests earthworms (Eisenia foetida) widespread because they a practical resource for analyzing terrestrial organisms. For phytotoxicological analysis, we seeds of arugula (Eruca sativa) lettuce (Lactuca to analyze germination in contaminated soil samples. The...
The evaluation soil quality after bioremediation processes solely on chemical data does not include the effects of toxic substances in organisms. Thus, ecotoxicological assays with seeds are applied to assess effect organisms according their germination sensitivity. objective this study was evaluate a contaminated diesel, biodiesel and waste lubricat oil bioassays using Cucumis sativus (cucumber), Brassica oleracea (kale) Barbarea verna (cress) as test sample buried allow contact...
The inhibition of root and hypocotyl elongation may reflect toxic substances in low concentrations, which are not sufficient to prevent germination, but delay or inhibit growth. objective this study was evaluate growth Cucumis sativus, Brassica oleracea Barbarea verna as a parameter for assessing soils toxicity when contaminated with diesel, lubricant oil biodiesel. Thus, potential contaminants evaluated according biodegradation time soil by examining inhibition. Results show that C. sativus...
The aim of this work was to study the biodegradation different types automotive lubricant oils adapted aqueous medium using a base inoculum and an inoculum. Four treatments were carried out in two consecutive similar experiments: T1 (control); T2 (half-synthetic oil); T3 (mineral T4 (used oil). results showed following decreasing order CO2 production Bartha Pramer respirometers: > T1. Thus, used oil with highest biodegradability, followed by half-synthetic one mineral oil. It also...
The purpose of this work was to evaluate the heterogeneity and diversity algae according an aquatic environment polluted by Remazol Red Brilliant dye. Methodology followed Winogradsky columns technique, which describes a microecosystem in glass container. Two were prepared: one control another with dye simulating contaminated environment. experiment under illumination provide light energy photosynthetic organisms alteration two observed quantified: development color changes. Results...
Abstract The two datasets outlined in this paper contain information related to (a) the local impacts of biofuel feedstock production, and (b) factors that influence adoption and/or sustained use ethanol stoves southern Africa. first dataset was generated through extensive household surveys around four operational jatropha sugarcane production sites Malawi, Mozambique, Swaziland. This project aimed examine most prominent modes existing or intended resulting contains about on rural...
Abstract This study aimed to propose an eco-compatible strategy mitigate the possible environmental contamination caused by tebuthiuron. Therefore, we screened potential tebuthiuron-degrading microorganisms from conventional (CS) and no-till (NTS) systems producing sugarcane. Then, they were bioprospected for their ability of decomposing target-molecule at 2.48 mmol g −1 4.96 into CO 2 via respirometry. Integrating microbiota CS NTS advantageously synergistic bacterial pool produced highest...
