Bioremediation00:46

Bioremediation

21.9K
Bioremediation is the use of prokaryotes, fungi, or plants to remove pollutants from the environment. This process has been used to remove harmful toxins in groundwater as a byproduct of agricultural run-off and also to clean up oil spills.

Environmental Applications of Microorganisms

811
Microorganisms play a pivotal role in maintaining ecosystem balance by recycling essential elements such as carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus, as well as supporting processes like bioremediation, wastewater treatment, and biofuel production.Microbes in Elemental CyclesIn the carbon cycle, microorganisms decompose organic matter, releasing carbon dioxide via aerobic respiration. This carbon dioxide is subsequently used by photosynthetic organisms to synthesize organic compounds, closing the...

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

2° Amines to N-Nitrosamines: Reaction with NaNO2

5.2K
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.

Chemical Agents for Microbial Control

659
Chemicals play important roles in controlling microbial growth by targeting microbial structures and functions as sanitizers, antiseptics, disinfectants, and sterilants.Alcohols are commonly used sanitizers, effectively disrupting lipid membranes, which compromises cell integrity. They are also used as antiseptics and disinfectants due to their rapid action and versatility.Phenols and their derivatives phenolics , known for denaturing proteins and disrupting cell membranes, are particularly...

Overview of Nitrogen Metabolism01:20

Overview of Nitrogen Metabolism

10.8K
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:

  • Agricultural Science
  • Environmental Science
  • Plant Science

Background:

  • Intensified agriculture raises concerns regarding soil degradation and the ecotoxicity of chemical pesticides.
  • There is a pressing need for sustainable and environmentally friendly alternatives for pest management and plant nutrition.
  • While botanical extracts face regulatory hurdles, plant-based soil amendments offer a readily implementable solution.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the potential of botanical soil amendments as ecofriendly tools.
  • To evaluate their efficacy in nematicidal activity and plant nutrition enhancement.
  • To discuss their modes of action for parasite control and plant growth stimulation.

Main Methods:

  • Focus on specific types of soil amendments derived from botanical sources.
  • Investigate their application as soil amendments for agricultural use.
  • Analyze their impact on nematode control and plant growth parameters.

Main Results:

  • Botanical soil amendments demonstrate potential for controlling plant-parasitic nematodes.
  • These amendments can enhance plant nutrition and stimulate growth.
  • The study discusses the mechanisms underlying both pest control and plant growth promotion.

Conclusions:

  • Plant-based soil amendments represent a practical and immediate approach to sustainable agriculture.
  • They offer a dual benefit of pest management and improved plant health.
  • Further research into their application can mitigate soil degradation and reduce reliance on synthetic chemicals.
