This review concentrates on the description of various phytoremediation technologies, paying special attention to removal of organics and the application of in vitro systems for basic research in the role of plants for the remediation of contaminated sites or flows, and in the improvement of their effectiveness. Various aspects of xenobiotic metabolism in plant cells, the role of enzymes involv...

These SOAP project Pacific Ocean measurements reveal that phytoplankton blooms with sunny conditions make possible secondary organic contribution to ultrafine particles size and composition, and thus on cloud formation ability, and finally on climate. This is in agreement with other biologically active region observations about the presence of secondary organics even the exact fraction is also ...

The title mol-ecule, C(30)H(24)O(4), lies about an inversion center located at the mid-point of the central C=C bond. The diphenyl-methanone unit adopts an all-trans conformation. The dihedral angle between the adjacent rings is 53.57 (4)°.

Precursor-fed cultivation of endophytic Chaetomium globosum 1C51 afforded nine novel "unnatural" halogenated chaetoglobosins including those with more preferable immunosuppressive activity.

Anthropogenic pollution coming from industrial processes, agricultural practices and consumer products, results in the release of toxic substances into rural urban environments. Once released, these chemicals migrate through atmosphere water, find their way matrices such as sediments groundwaters, thus making large areas potentially uninhabitable. Common pollutants, including heavy metal(loid)s...

Reduced downstream costs, together with high purity recovery of polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA), will accelerate the commercialization of high quality PHA-based products. In this work, a process was designed for effective recovery of the copolymer poly(hydroxybutyrate-co-hydroxyhexanoate) (P(HB-co-HHx)) containing high levels of HHx (>15 mol%) from Ralstonia eutropha biomass using non-halogenated so...

We report a series of NFAs (namely BTP-1V, BTP-2V, BTP-3V, and BTP-4V) by inserting vinylene ?-bridges between the Y-series central fused core non-halogenated end group IC.
