Chlordane biodegradation under aerobic conditions by indigenous Streptomyces strains

Role of Actinobacteria in Bioremediation

“…Their metabolic diversity and specific growth characteristics make them well suited as agents for bioremediation (Benimeli, 2004;Albarracin et al, 2005;Benimeli et al, 2007a;Polti et al, 2007;Benimeli et al, 2008;Polti et al, 2009;Albarracin et al, 2010a,b;Fuentes et al, 2011;Alvarez et al, 2012a,b;Cuozzo et al, 2012;Saez et al, 2012). Their metabolic diversity and specific growth characteristics make them well suited as agents for bioremediation (Benimeli, 2004;Albarracin et al, 2005;Benimeli et al, 2007a;Polti et al, 2007;Benimeli et al, 2008;Polti et al, 2009;Albarracin et al, 2010a,b;Fuentes et al, 2011;Alvarez et al, 2012a,b;Cuozzo et al, 2012;Saez et al, 2012).…”

Human health risk assessment of pesticide residues in snappers ( Lutjanus ) fish from the Navachiste Lagoon complex, Mexico

“…It is a mixture of more than 140 related chemical substances, such as c-transchlordane, a-cis-chlordane, b-chlordane, heptachlor, trans-nonachloride (Cuozzo et al, 2012), chlordanes and nonachlorides (Bondy et al, 2003). In addition, its wide use from 1948 to 1988, added to its persistence, accounts for the detection of residues in coastal systems (ATSDR, 2011).…”

Kinetic optimization of biodegradation and debromination of 2,4,6-tribromophenol using response surface methodology

“…As it is well known, the energy resource concentrations and the cultivation conditions were very important factors for the microorganism to biodegrade organics (Cuozzo et al, 2012;Giles et al, 2012). Conventionally, the biodegradation conditions optimization was usually carried out by the single-variable-at-a-time (SVAT, the most common practice holding all other variables constant) method (Kaneco et al, 2009).…”
