Extensive use of nanomaterials in consumer products has invoked the concerns about
interactions of nanoparticles with living organisms (including microorganisms). Zinc oxide …

Here we describe a simple, novel method of zinc oxide nanoparticle (ZNP) synthesis and
physicochemical characterization. The dose-dependent antifungal effect of ZNPs, compared …

The biosorption and bioaugmentation performances of Mucor circinelloides were
investigated under different contact time, initial metal (loid) concentration and species. The …

Recently introduced micronized copper (MC) formulations, consisting of a nanosized fraction
of basic copper (Cu) carbonate (CuCO3· Cu (OH) 2) nanoparticles (NPs), were introduced to …

Despite the intensive research in the past decade on the microbial bioaccumulation of heavy
metals, the significance of redox state for oxidative stress induction is not completely …

Zinc oxide nanoparticle (ZNP) has been synthesized by microwave-assisted technique with
the aid of a buffer solution. ZNP inhibited the growth of bacterial system Escherichia coli …

To investigate the induction of oxidative stress and antioxidant response in the
chloroacetanilides-degrading Trichoderma spp. under alachlor and metolachlor exposure, a …

Melatonin is involved in biological adverse stress response and enhances the ability of
yeast to adapt to adverse conditions. This study investigated the mechanism of exogenous …

This study examines the growth, metabolism of Phanerochaete chrysosporium (P.
chrysosporium) and route of lignin degradation in response to cadmium (Cd) stress in solid …

Copper (Cu) is a major heavy metal contaminant with various anthropogenic and natural
sources. Recently, using biomarkers to monitor the effects of pollutants has attracted …
