Adsorption of Toxic Metal Ions from Solution by Inactivated Cells of Larrea Tridentata
Larrea tridentata (creosote bush) is a plant that grows abundantly in the desert environment. This desert plant has been found naturally growing in heavy-metal contaminated soils. Previous experiments showed that the inactivated biomass of creosote bush was able to adsorb Cu(II) ions from aqueous solutions. The copper-binding capacity of the bush biomass that grows in heavy-metal uncontaminated...
متن کاملENHANCED METAL-BINDING CAPACITY OF NaOH TREATED LARREA TRIDENTATA LEAF TISSUE
Larrea tridentata, or creosote bush, is a common desert plant that inhabits the Chihuahuan Desert. Due to its great abundance and high growth tolerance of heavy metal-contaminated soils, it was chosen as the primary candidate for this study. Previous experiments conducted on inactivated and untreated sodium hydroxide (NaOH) Larrea tridentata leaf tissues showed that it effectively bound metal i...
متن کاملAn endophytic/pathogenic Phoma sp. from creosote bush producing biologically active volatile compounds having fuel potential.
A Phoma sp. was isolated and characterized as endophytic and as a pathogen of Larrea tridentata (creosote bush) growing in the desert region of southern Utah, USA. This fungus produces a unique mixture of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), including a series of sesquiterpenoids, some alcohols and several reduced naphthalene derivatives. Trans-caryophyllene, a product in the fungal VOCs, was als...
