In the last decade, there has been an increase in research on improving the ability of plants
to remove environmental pollution. Genes from microbes, plants, and animals are being …

Phytoremediation—the use of plants to clean up polluted soil and water resources—has
received much attention in the last few years. Although plants have the inherent ability to …

Six chlorpyrifos-degrading bacteria were isolated from an Australian soil and compared by
biochemical and molecular methods. The isolates were indistinguishable, and one (strain B …

The old yellow enzyme (OYE) family is a large group of flavin‐dependent redox biocatalysts
with major applications in the industrial reduction of activated alkenes. These enzymes have …

As the first flavin-dependent enzyme identified, and by virtue of its simplicity, the yeast Old
Yellow Enzyme (OYE) has been characterized in detail by the whole gamut of physical …

An explosion occurs when a large amount of energy is suddenly released. This energy may
come from an over-pressurized steam boiler, from the products of a chemical reaction …

Plants offer many advantages over bacteria as agents for bioremediation; however, they
typically lack the degradative capabilities of specially selected bacterial strains. Transgenic …

Filled with practical applications and research, Biodegradation of Nitroaromatic Compounds
and Explosives presents an international perspective on environmental contamination from …

Enterobacter cloacae PB2 was originally isolated on the basis of its ability to utilize nitrate
esters, such as pentaerythritol tetranitrate (PETN) and glycerol trinitrate, as the sole nitrogen …

In recent years, explosive materials have been widely employed for various military
applications and civilian conflicts; their use for hostile purposes has increased considerably …
