Degradation of selected agrochemicals by the white rot fungus Trametes versicolor
(2014-12-01)Use of agrochemicals is a worldwide practice that exerts an important effect on the environment; therefore the search of approaches for the elimination of such pollutants should be encouraged. The degradation of the ... -
Assessment of acute toxicity of carbofuran in Macrobrachium olfersii (Wiegmann, 1836) at different temperature levels
(2013-07-11)Carbofuran (2,3-dihydro-2,2-dimethyl-7-benzofuranyl methylcarbamate; C12H15NO3) is one of the most toxic carbamate pesticides. For acute toxicity of carbofuran, juveniles of Macrobrachium olfersii were exposed to different ... -
Degradation of UV filters in sewage sludge and 4-MBC in liquid medium by the ligninolytic fungus Trametes versicolor
(2012-08-15)Ultraviolet (UV) filters are xenobiotic compounds that can enter the environment through the liquid effluent of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) and through adsorption in the sludge by-product because of their high ... -
Continuous degradation of a mixture of sulfonamides by Trametes versicolor and identification of metabolites from sulfapyridine and sulfathiazole
(2012-04-30)In this study, we assessed the degradation ofthe sulfonamides sulfapyridine (SPY) and sulfathiazole (STZ) by the white-rotfungus Trametes versicolor. Complete degradation was accomplished in fungal cultures at initial ... -

Bioaugmentation of Sewage Sludge with Trametes versicolor in Solid Phase Biopiles Produces Degradation of Pharmaceuticals and Affects Microbial Communities
(2012-10-02)The use of sludge (biosolids) in land application may contribute to the spread of organic micro pollutants as wastewater treatments do not completely remove these compounds. Therefore, the development of alternative strategies ... -
Removal of pharmaceuticals, polybrominated flame retardants and UV-filters from sludge by the fungus Trametes versicolor in bioslurry reactor
(2012-09)Conventional wastewater treatments are inefficient in the removal of many organic pollutants. The pres ence of these contaminants in the final sludge represents a source of environmental pollution due to the increasing ... -
Fungal-Mediated Degradation of Emerging Pollutants in Sewage Sludge
(2012-01-01)This chapter summarizes the novel approaches employed for the removal of emerging pollutants from sludge by means of fungal processes. The first part of the chapter introduces the potential application of fungi in ... -
Hydrocarbon Degrading Microflora in a Tropical fuel-Contaminated Aquifer: Assessing the Feasibility of PAH Bioremediation
(2012-01)An aquifer located within a petroleum processing plant in Moín, Costa Rica, suffers hydrocarbon pollution. This study aimed to determine the ability of indigenous microorganisms from this site to degrade polycyclic ... -
