  1. 6. Biodegradation of organic micropollutants dibutyl phthalate and bisphenol A by fungi

    University essay from SLU/Department of Molecular Sciences

    Author : Lena Carstens; [2018]
    Keywords : micropollutant; dibutyl phthalate; bisphenol A; fungi; biodegradation; biosorption; endocrine disrupting chemical;

    Abstract : Fungi represent a promising and relatively untapped resource in regard to the bioremediation of micropollutants. Degradation efficiencies of the ubiquitous endocrine disrupting chemicals dibutyl phthalate (DBP) and bisphenol A (BPA) by selected fungal strains with different ecophysiologies were determined via ultra performance liquid chromatography (UPLC).

  3. 7. Degradation of pesticides by the ligninolytic enzyme Laccase : optimisation of in vitro conditions, immobilisation and screening for natural mediators

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Microbiology

    Author : Naomi Farragher; [2013]
    Keywords : White rot fungi; Laccase; Bioprophylaxis; Diffuse sources; Co-formulation; Degradation; Mediators; Pesticides; Glyphosate; AMPA; Isoproturon; Enzyme encapsulation; Enzyme immobilisation; Natural mediators;

    Abstract : Pesticides are widely used in many industries but the majority reaches non-target organisms or locations through point or diffuse sources. Understanding conditions for their degradation is therefore important. The degradation of glyphosate, its metabolite AMPA and isoproturon using the ligninolytic enzyme laccase was studied. READ MORE

  4. 8. Effect of vegetable oil on the degradation of a pesticide mixture in biobeds

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Microbiology

    Author : Johanna Moreskog; [2013]
    Keywords : Pesticides; Biobed; Ligninolytic enzymes; Maganese peroxidase;

    Abstract : Pesticides are used to control diseases, undesired vegetation and insects in forestry, gardening and agriculture. In the environment, pesticides are generally believed to originate from a diffuse source, such as spray drift of pesticides during application, or a point source, such as spills during refill and cleaning of spraying equipment.

  5. 9. Enzymatic Pretreatment of Lignocellulose Rich Waste for Improved Biogas Production

    University essay from Tema vatten i natur och samhälle; Filosofiska fakulteten

    Author : Carin Kvillborn; [2013]
    Keywords : Biogas; anaerobic digestion; lignin; laccase; versatile peroxidase; NMMO; Biogas; anaerob nedbrytning; lignin; laccase; versatile peroxidas; NMMO;

    Abstract : The present study aimed to investigate the methane yield from anaerobic digestion of a lignocellulosic substrate subjected to different pretreatments. The lignocellulosic forest residues materials were milled and then pretreated with the organic solvent NMMO (N-Methylmorpholine N-oxide) and/or the lignolytic enzymes laccase and versatile peroxidase at a dosage of 60 U g-1 total solids (TS) substrate.

  6. 10. Bioremediation of textile dyes and improvement of plant growth by marine bacteria

    University essay from Högskolan i Borås/Institutionen Ingenjörshögskolan

    Author : Pandu Krishna Compala Prabhakar; [2013]
    Keywords : Bioremediation; textile dyes; marine bacteria;

    Abstract : Textile industries are the major users of dyes in the world. A huge fraction of dyes are discharged out from the textile industries, causing serious damage to the environment. Bioremediation based technologies has been proved to be the most desirable and cost- effective method to counter textile dye pollution. READ MORE
