Isolation and characterization of a toxic metal-tolerant Phenanthrene-degrader Sphingobium sp. in a two-liquid-phase partitioning bioreactor (TPPB)
(2013-10-01)
A phenanthrene-degrading strain PHE3, identified as the genus of Sphingobium,
was isolated using a two-liquid-phase partitioning bioreactor. More than 96% of the initial
amount (up to 100 mg l− 1 silicone oil) of ...
Effects of pH and metal ions on oxytetracycline sorption to maize-straw-derived biochar
(Elsevier, 2013-05-30)
Biochars produced from biomass residues have been recognized as effective sorbents to
hydrophobic compounds, but knowledge on sorption of antibiotics to biochar and its
mechanisms are still inadequate. Sorption of ...
Enhanced degradation of 14 C-HCB in two tropical clay soils using multiple anaerobic–aerobic cycles
(2013-02-28)
The aim of the study was to induce and enhance the degradation of hexachlorobenzene
(HCB), a highly-chlorinated persistent organic pollutant, in two ecologically different tropical
soils: a paddy soil (PS) and a non-paddy ...
Immobilization of chlorobenzenes in soil using wheat straw biochar
(American Chemical Society, 2013-04-25)
Biochar has shown great potential for immobilizing organic contaminants in soil. In this
study, pentachlorobenzene (PeCB), 1, 2, 4, 5-tetrachlorobenzene (1, 2, 4, 5-TeCB), and 1, 2,
4-trichlorobenzene (1, 2, 4-TCB) ...
Comparative evaluation of ELISA kit and HPLC DAD for the determination of chlorpyrifos ethyl residues in water and sediments
(Elsevier, 2013-12-15)
Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit is a versatile, cheap and relatively
available tool that can be used in remote areas. In this study, performance of ELISA kit was
evaluated in terms of accuracy, recovery, ...

Synthesis of hydrophobic siliceous ferrierite by using pyridine and sodium fluoride
(Elsevier, 2013-11-15)
We report for the first time, the successful synthesis of siliceous ferrierites with SiO2/Al2O3 = 138.8–324 by the hydrothermal treatment of aluminosilicate gel with the introduction of pyridine and easy-to-handle sodium ...
Effects of Senna didymobotrya root extract and compounds on tritoninduced hyperlipidaemic rats and differentiation of 3T3-Li preadipocytes
(Bentham Science Publishers, 2013-11-03)
he lipid lowering effects of Senna didymobotrya (Leguminoceae) root extract (250 mg/kg) and pure isolates (100 mg/kg) were investigated for hypolipidemic activity on Triton-induced hyperlipidemic rats (in-vivo). The extracts ...
Voulkensin C–E, new 11-oxocassane-type diterpenoids and a steroid glycoside from Caesalpinia volkensii stem bark and their antiplasmodial activities
(Pergamon, 2013-05-15)
A bioassay guided isolation of potential antimalarial molecules from the stem bark of Caesalpinia volkensii Harms (Fabaceae) achieved three new 11-oxocassane-type diterpenoids named voulkensin C (1), D (2) and E (3) together ...
