The presence of organic micropollutants in water and sediments motivates investigation their biotransformation at environmentally low concentrations, usually the range μg L–1. Many are biotransformed by cometabolic mechanisms; however, there is scarce information concerning direct metabolization this concentration range. Threshold concentrations for microbial assimilation have been reported both pure mixed cultures from different origins. literature suggests a value bacterial growth 1–100...
Emerging global threats, such as climate change, urbanization and water depletion, are driving forces for finding a feasible substitute low cost-effective conventional activated sludge (AS) technology. On the other hand, given their cost easy operation, nature-based systems constructed wetlands (CWs) waste stabilization ponds (WSPs) appear to be viable options. To examine these systems, 210-day experiment with 31 days of peak load scenario was performed. Particularly, we conducted deliberate...
Genotoxicity in cells may occur different ways, direct interaction, production of electrophilic metabolites, and secondary genotoxicity via oxidative stress. Chloroform, dichloromethane, toluene are primarily metabolized liver by CYP2E1, producing reactive also produce stress the uncoupled CYP2E1 catalytic cycle. Additionally, GSTT1 participates dichloromethane activation. Despite metabolism these compounds adducts, their bone marrow micronucleus test is unclear. The objective this work was...
Research into the microbial degradation of organic micropollutants (OMP) often involves monitoring depletion parent compound and analyzing biotransformation pathways that can lead to production metabolites, some being toxic, and/or their mineralization. For antibiotic sulfamethoxazole (SMX), previous studies testing a range SMX concentration (mg down ng L-1), have shown incomplete SMX. This occurred both during wastewater treatment with mixed communities in pure bacterial strains acclimated...
