Petroleum hydrocarbons are important energy resources used by industry and in our daily life, whose production contributes highly to environmental pollution. To control such risk, bioremediation constitutes an environmentally friendly alternative technology that has been established and applied. It constitutes the primary mechanism for the elimination of hydrocarbons from contaminated sites by ...

Introduction. The toxic nonprotein amino acid mimosine present in Leucaena leucocephala is degraded by rumen bacteria to produce another toxic compound, 3-hydroxy-4(lH)-pyridone (3,4-dihydroxypyridine, or 3,4-DHP). In some, but not all, geographic areas ruminants are colonized by bacteria that degrade 3,4-DHP, and actions of these microbes protect their host animals from leucaena toxicosis (Jon...

background and objectives: sodium dodecyl sulfate (sds) is one of the most widely used anionic detergents. the present study deals with isolation and identification of sds-degrading bacteria from a detergent contaminated pond situated in varanasi city, india. materials and methods : employing enrichment technique in minimal medium (pbm), sds-degrading bacteria were isolated from pond water samp...

Rates of oxalate degradation by mixed bacterial populations in cecal contents from wild rats ranged from 2.5 to 20.6 mumol/g (dry weight) per h. The oxalate-degrading activity in cecal contents from three strains of laboratory rats (Long-Evans, Wistar, and Sprague-Dawley) from four commercial breeders was generally lower, ranging from 1.8 to 3.5 mumol/g (dry weight) of cecal contents per h. Thi...
