Several strains have been reported to grow on 3-methyl-4-nitrophenol (3M4NP), the primary breakdown product of the excessively used insecticide fenitrothion. However, the microbial degradation of 3M4NP at molecular and biochemical levels remains unknown. Here, methyl-1,4-benzoquinone (MBQ) and methylhydroquinone (MHQ), rather than catechol proposed previously, were identified as the intermediat...

The 4-nitrophenol (PNP) in diesel exhaust particles (DEP) has been identified as a vasodilator and is a known degradation product of the insecticide parathion. In this study, the protective effect of quercetin, a potent oxygen free radical scavenger and metal chelator, against the oxidative damage of PNP on cultured testicular cells was studied in male embryonic chickens. Testicular cells from ...

Fe3O4 nanoparticles decorated on cellulose aerogel (CA) from banana stems (Fe3O4@CA) were synthesized for application in the Fenton degradation of p-nitrophenol (PNP). Cellulose extracted raw was with kymene as a crosslinking agent and freeze-dried method. The Fe3O4@CA samples characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), Tra...

Organophosphate pesticides are of great interest for research because they are currently the most commonly used pesticides. In this study, a bacterial strain capable of completely degrading methyl parathion (MP) was isolated from agricultural soils in central Mexico. This strain was designated strain S5-2 and was identified as Burkholderia cenocepacia. To increase degradation yields, cells were...

Plate- and octahedron-like Pt/Bi5Nb3O15 heterostructures are controllably prepared by a hydrothermal treatment method combined with photodeposition in the presence of different surfactants, i.e., cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP). The composition, structure, morphology, optical absorption properties, and textural properties of as-prepared Pt/Bi5Nb3O15 are well...

An efficient, green and reusable catalyst for organic pollutant wastewater treatment has been a subject of intense research in recent decades due to the limitation current technologies. Cellulose based aerogel composites are considered be an especially promising candidate next-generation catalytic material. This project was conducted order evaluate behavior ability sugarcane bagasse aerogels re...

Corrosion of iron by oxidation is a global problem that affects the economy and gives rise to environmental pollution. Iron rust oxide or hydroxide iron, it can be used as secondary source which will lead its management well reduce pressure on primary sources. In present study, waste was precursor for synthesis nanoparticles via green route using extract dried Jatropha leaf. Synthesized were ch...

Western blot analyses of liver microsomes from 13 male and 12 female monkeys demonstrated that in each sample a variable amount of a cytochrome P450 (P450) protein, likely monkey P450 2E1, cross-reacted with anti-rat P450 2E1 antibodies. Therefore, the involvement of monkey 2E1 in the oxidation of typical substrates for 2E1 from other species, such as dimethylnitrosamine (DMN), p-nitrophenol (p...

Secondary effluent reclamation and reuse is an effective solution to the water shortage problem, safety of reused a matter increasing concern. p-Nitrophenol (PNP), common secondary pollutant, can be efficiently removed using eco-friendly bioaugmented soil aquifer treatment (SAT) system at laboratory scale. In this study, sewage plant in Changchun was selected as case study apply SAT for field s...
