Bioaugmentation, a green technology, is defined as the improvement of the degradative
capacity of contaminated areas by introducing specific microorganisms, has emerged as the …

Lindane, the γ-isomer of hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH), is a potent insecticide. Purified
lindane or unpurified mixtures of this and α-, β-, and δ-isomers of HCH were widely used as …

Management and destruction of obsolete pesticides and the remediation of pesticide-
contaminated soil are significant global issues with importance in agriculture, environmental …

Here, we compare the evolutionary routes by which bacteria and insects have evolved
enzymatic processes for the degradation of four classes of synthetic chemical insecticide …

Synthetic chemicals including organochlorine pesticides pose environment and health
hazard due to persistent and bio-accumulation property. Majority of them are recognized as …

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

Enzymes are central to the biology of many pesticides, influencing their modes of action,
environmental fates and mechanisms of target species resistance. Since the introduction of …

Geogenic high hexavalent chromium [Cr (Ⅵ)] in groundwater is a global environmental
problem. However, the groundwater microbiome and its linkage to geogenic high Cr (Ⅵ) …
