Abstract Phytoremediation using Vetiver grass (VG) has been used in the past few decades all over world, but effectiveness of its uptake mechanism water less discussed especially mixed metal conditions. Hence, focus this research was to determine and evaluate heavy removal two metals, copper (Cu) iron (Fe), based on vetiver toxicity. Three treatments Fe Cu mixture were chosen, individual concen...

Toxicity identification evaluations (TIEs) were performed on seven produced water (PW) effluents from inland discharge facilities operated in Trinidad and Tobago, a Caribbean tropical country with one of the oldest commercial oil industries in the world. The research was performed to determine the presence and magnitude of toxicity and characterize which toxicants are responsible for observed e...

Therapeutic Deep Eutectic Systems (THEDESs) are a mixture of components, including an active pharmaceutical ingredient, that have recently emerged because their interesting properties for drug therapies. In general, they been recognized to increase the solubility and permeability some drugs, consequently, bioavailability. Moreover, also used novel formulations pharmaceuticals. Despite potential...

Background and objectives: The use of herbal drugs in the treatment of many neurological disorders is gaining popularity in developing countries due to their fewer unwanted side effects, affordability and cultural acceptability. A mixture of three plants roots Calotropis procera (Asclepediaceae), Combretum micranthum (Combretaceae) and Ficus abutilifolia <...

Oil spillages lead to the formation of hydrocarbon and metal mixtures possessing effects on alkane-degrading bacteria that are responsible for bioremediation oil-contaminated soils waters. Studies bacterial responses mixture petroleum can inform appropriate strategies bioremediation. We employed a luminescent bioreporter Acinetobacter baylyi ADPWH_recA with alkane degradation capability evaluat...

We have evaluated Photorhabdus insect-related protein (Pir) from Photorhabdus asymbiotica against dengue vectors. PirAB shows larvicidal activity against both Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus larvae but did not affect the Mesocyclops thermocyclopoides predator. PirAB expressed the strongest toxicity compared to PirA, PirB, or the mixture of PirA plus PirB. Whether the presence of an enterobac...
