Abstract The major nesting sites for the endangered green turtle ( Chelonia mydas ) are in Campeche, Mexico: Carmen, Isla Aguada, and Sabancuy. Although they a natural reserve, these threatened by agricultural activities oil extraction. This study aimed to determine presence concentration of organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) plasma eggs assess antioxidant ...

Celeribacter indicus P73(T), isolated from deep-sea sediment from the Indian Ocean, is capable of degrading a wide range of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and is the first fluoranthene-degrading bacterium within the family Rhodobacteraceae. Here, the complete genome sequence of strain P73(T) is presented and analyzed. Besides a 4.5-Mb circular chromosome, strain P73(T) carries five pla...

Mycobacterium vanbaalenii PYR-1 is capable of degrading a wide range of high-molecular-weight polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), including fluoranthene. We used a combination of metabolomic, genomic, and proteomic technologies to investigate fluoranthene degradation in this strain. Thirty-seven fluoranthene metabolites including potential isomers were isolated from the culture medium and ...

To understand the interactions among eutrophication, algal bloom, and POPs (persistent organic pollutants) in freshwater ecosystems, cumulative selectivity of PAHs (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons) phytoplankton, water, sediment with different eutrophication level waters were identified a typical plain river network region located Nanjing City. Results showed that total 33 species belonging to...

Organic solvents have been the sought-after medium to achieve light initiated transformations in laboratories and industries. Given current emphasis on green chemistry rising awareness of environmental pollution it may be necessary for us utilize abundantly freely available, non-toxic environmentally friendly water as perform photoreactions. Although has attracted attention organic synthetic ch...
