Microbial Bioremediation of Pesticides

1
Pesticides often feature structurally complex chemical architectures, incorporating halogen groups and multiple aromatic rings. These characteristics confer high chemical stability, rendering many pesticides resistant to natural degradation processes. This resistance poses significant environmental concerns, as persistent pesticide residues can accumulate in ecosystems and affect non-target organisms.Despite the inherent stability of many pesticides, certain microorganisms possess the metabolic...

2° Amines to N-Nitrosamines: Reaction with NaNO201:20

2° Amines to N-Nitrosamines: Reaction with NaNO2

5.7K
Secondary amines react with nitrous acid to form N-nitrosamines, as depicted in Figure 1. Nitrous acid, a weak and unstable acid, is formed in situ from an aqueous solution of sodium nitrite and strong acids, such as hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid, in cold conditions. In the presence of an acid, the nitrous acid gets protonated. The subsequent loss of water results in the formation of the electrophile known as nitrosonium ion.

Microbial Bioremediation of Plastics

1
Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is a synthetic polymer widely utilized in the packaging industry, particularly for bottles and containers. Due to its chemical stability and durability, PET accumulates in the environment, contributing significantly to plastic pollution. It comprises repeating units of terephthalic acid and ethylene glycol, resulting in a semi-crystalline structure that is resistant to natural degradation processes.A notable breakthrough in plastic biodegradation came with the...

Pharmacogenetics of Phase II Enzymes: N-acetyltransferase, Thiopurine S-methyltransferase, UDP-glucuronosyltransferase

57
Phase II biotransformation reactions are essential for detoxifying and eliminating xenobiotics, including many pharmaceutical compounds. These reactions typically involve conjugation, the covalent attachment of polar endogenous groups such as glucuronic acid, sulfate, methyl, or acetyl moieties to functional groups introduced during Phase I metabolism. The resulting conjugates are more water-soluble, enabling efficient renal or biliary excretion.The major classes of Phase II enzymes include...

Overview of Nitrogen Metabolism01:20

Overview of Nitrogen Metabolism

12.4K
Nitrogen is a very important element for life because it is a major constituent of proteins and nucleic acids. It is a macronutrient, and in nature, it is recycled from organic compounds and stored in the form of  ammonia, ammonium ions, nitrate, nitrite, or  nitrogen gas by many metabolic processes. Many of these metabolic processes are carried out only by prokaryotes.
The largest pool of nitrogen available in the terrestrial ecosystem is gaseous nitrogen (N2) from the air, but this...

Area of Science:

  • Environmental Chemistry
  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Pesticide Science

Background:

  • Neonicotinoid pesticides and their metabolites are linked to honey bee decline.
  • Understanding neonicotinoid metabolites and environmental breakdown products is crucial for assessing toxicity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the rapid degradation of the neonicotinoid nitenpyram in finished drinking water.
  • To identify and characterize the reaction products of nitenpyram degradation.

Main Methods:

  • Liquid chromatography/quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (LC/QTOFMS) was used for characterization.
  • A software algorithm facilitated data reduction by comparing degraded and control samples.
  • Predictive software and manual analysis were used to propose fragmentation pathways for nitenpyram and its reaction products.

Main Results:

  • Nitenpyram degradation in drinking water was attributed to oxidation, hydrolysis, and reaction with Cl2.
  • Six nitenpyram reaction products were identified, with structures suggesting the C9/C11 olefin as the primary reactive site.

Conclusions:

  • Identified nitenpyram reaction products share similarities with other neonicotinoid metabolites, underscoring their environmental relevance.
  • These degradation products could be present in water treatment facilities and the environment, necessitating their identification for impact evaluation.
