Reaction mechanism of dicofol removal by cellulase

Electrochemical Determination of Dicofol at Nickel Nanowire Modified Poly(p‐aminophenol) Film Electrode

“…Dicofol is synthesized by dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) and they are similar in structural since both are endocrine destructor and carcinogen compounds. Stockholm Convention identified DCF as a persistent organic pollutant (POP) that many countries banned or limited its use . Therefore, it is important to develop a cheap, simple, accurate technique for determination of dicofol in various media.…”

Fungi as a toolbox for sustainable bioremediation of pesticides in soil and water

“…The bacteria-dominated conventional activated sludge process has been proved to be ineffective for pesticide removal.While the importance of a mixed microbial community to initiate and complete pesticide OACs removal in the soil environment has been convincingly demonstrated by several researchers, studies concerning the removal of pesticides OACs from soils have been predominantly focused on selected bacterial or fungal species separately. Few studies have explored the bioaugmentation synergy of fungi and bacteria(Hai et al 2012;Zhang et al 2015; Madrigal-Zúñiga et al 2016).Combining culture of bacteria and fungi could constitute a relevant process for the removal of toxic and recalcitrant organic substances from contaminated agricultural soils. On-farm biopurification systems represent a biotechnological approach for the mitigation of point source contamination by pesticidesOACs.…”
