background: long-term extraction and production of various oil derivatives causes contamination of soil adjacent to production and refining area. the main important issue is the ecological hazard of these pollutants. the main aim of the study was to identify and separate native bacteria that are responsible for degradation of oil contaminated fields. methods: we prepared a compound sample of co...

background: organic agricultural pesticides are so stable in ecosystems and biosphere. these compounds affect soil conditions and agricultural products. the aim of this study was isolation of diazinon-degrading bacteria from kerman pistachio orchards, southeastern iran. methods: diazinon-degrading bacteria were enriched in bushnell-hass medium. identification and sequencing of prevalent degradi...

conclusions phoma glomerata pg41 strain sharing natural substrate with toxigenic a. flavus secretes metabolites possessing a significant aflatoxin-degrading activity. the activity is associated mainly with a protein-enriched high-molecular-weight fraction of extracellular metabolites and appears to be of enzymatic origin. results the afb1-degrading activity of protein-enriched fractions, isolat...

With approximately 250 000 marine species, the ocean is a vast reservoir of biodiversity and an abundant biological resource natural polymers microorganisms producing biopolymer-degrading enzymes.

Background : Phenol and it’s derivatives were removed by physicochemical methods in the past but nowadays biological treatment has priority. Bacteria with the rapid proliferation in the presence of phenol and it’s derivatives can remove them in a good manner. The aim of this project is isolation and identification of bacteria that degrade phenol from water and sediment of Kor river and also inv...

Global water scarcity is driving the need for identifying new water source. Wastewater could be a potential water resource if appropriate treatment technologies could be developed. One of the barriers to obtaining high quality water from wastewater arises from the presence of organic micropollutants, which are biologically active at trace levels. Removal of these compounds from wastewater by cu...
