Microbial degradation of formaldehyde in white mineral dispersions preserved with formaldehyde-releasing biocides

Inhibitory effect of mould growth on formaldehyde emissions from medium-density fibreboards: Evidence from field observations in three experimental houses

“…Biological processes are one of the most commonly accepted explanations for formaldehyde degradation. 43 The widespread occurrence of glutathione-dependent formaldehyde dehydrogenase (GDFADH) in microorganisms suggests that this could be a common agent for biological oxidation of formaldehyde. 44 The fungal diversity in the actual building is high, but some species, such as Cladosporium , Aspergillus and Penicillium , are frequently found.…”

Efficient Decomposition of Formaldehyde on Ni−Al Hydrotalcite/AlOOH Nanocomposites Decorated with Pt Nanoparticles at Ambient Temperature

“…Various technologies have been developed for formaldehyde removal, such as adsorption, [9,10] low‐temperature plasma purification, [11] microbial degradation, [12] photocatalytic oxidation, [13–15] and thermal catalytic oxidation [16–19] . Among them, thermal catalytic oxidation of HCHO into CO 2 and H 2 O is considered as most promising due to the advantages of high removal efficiency, long‐time effectiveness, energy‐saving, economic feasibility, and lack of secondary pollution [20–22] .…”

Formaldehyde degradation by a newly isolated fungus Aspergillus sp. HUA

“…Biological control, such as microbial degradation, is the most commonly applied method for treatment of wastewaters containing biodegradable compounds (Bhakta et al 2012;Kanmani et al 2012;Ashraf et al 2011). Many microorganisms have been shown to degrade formaldehyde in the sewage, and bacterial degradability has been the research hotspot on formaldehyde degradation (Di Maiuta et al 2009;Arutchelvan et al 2005;Hidalgo et al 2002). Nevertheless, there is fewer fungal resources that are able to degrade formaldehyde have been reported (Sawada et al 2006).…”
