The recent rate of emergence of pathogenic fungi that are resistant to the limited number of
commonly used antifungal agents is unprecedented. The azoles, for example, are used not …

Continuous rise in application of pesticides in the agro-ecosystems in order to ensure food
supply to the ever-growing population is of greater concern to the human health and the …

The environmental impacts of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) is an increasingly
prominent topic in the scientific community. POPs are stable chemicals that are accumulated …

Prokaryotes in natural environments respond rapidly to high concentrations of chemicals
and physical stresses. Exposure to anthropogenic toxic substances—such as oil, chlorinated …

This research studies the acute toxicity of real contaminated soils (topsoil and subsoil) with
hazardous chlorinated organic compounds (COCs) from lindane manufacturing wastes. The …

Hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) waste isomers from lindane production are the largest single
POPs legacy, with an estimated 4.8 to 7.4 million tonnes of disposed waste. The largest part …

The scaling-up of lindane-contaminated soils bioremediation from microcosms to
mesocosms bioaugmentated with an actinobacteria quadruple culture and biostimulated …

This review elucidates different bioremediation approaches used for degradation of HCH
from contaminated sites. It highlights the significance of degradative pathways, microbial …

This review describes the biodegradation of Lindane (γ-hexachlorocyclohexane, γ-HCH)
from the diverse sources. Environmental degradation of γ-HCH has been described in terms …

Abstract Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) are hazards to human health and exhibit
harmful effects to the environment, owing to their typically lipophilic and bio-accumulative …
