Resistance of microbial populations in DDT-contaminated and uncontaminated soils (2000)
Journal Article
Kantachote, D., Naidu, R., Singleton, I., McClure, N., & Harch, B. (2001). Resistance of microbial populations in DDT-contaminated and uncontaminated soils. Applied Soil Ecology, 16(1), 85-90. https://doi.org/10.1016/s0929-1393%2800%2900058-5

One DDT-contaminated soil and two uncontaminated soils were used to enumerate DDT-resistant microbes (bacteria, actinomycetes and fungi) by using soil dilution agar plates in media either with 150 μg DDT ml−1 or without DDT at different temperatures...

Pentachlorophenol transformation in soil: a toxicological assessment (2000)
Journal Article
McGrath, R., & Singleton, I. (2000). Pentachlorophenol transformation in soil: a toxicological assessment. Soil Biology and Biochemistry, 32(8-9), 1311-1314. https://doi.org/10.1016/s0038-0717%2800%2900015-8

Bioremediation is recognised as an economically viable method to treat contaminated soil and the use of microbial inoculants, in particular, white-rot fungi, has been proposed to enhance the remediation process. During bioremediation, a variety of po... Read More about Pentachlorophenol transformation in soil: a toxicological assessment.

Influence of Petroleum Hydrocarbon Contamination on Microalgae and Microbial Activities in a Long-Term Contaminated Soil (2000)
Journal Article
Megharaj, M., Singleton, I., McClure, N. C., & Naidu, R. (2000). Influence of Petroleum Hydrocarbon Contamination on Microalgae and Microbial Activities in a Long-Term Contaminated Soil. Archives of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology, 38(4), 439-4

Petroleum hydrocarbons are widespread environmental pollutants. Although biodegradation of petroleum hydrocarbons has been the subject of numerous investigations, information on their toxicity to microorganisms in soil is limited, with virtually no w...

Analysis of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria populations in acid forest soil during conditions of moisture limitation (2000)
Journal Article
Hastings, R. C., Butler, C., Singleton, I., Saunders, J. R., & McCarthy, A. J. (2000). Analysis of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria populations in acid forest soil during conditions of moisture limitation. Letters in applied microbiology, 30(1), 14-18. https://doi.org/10.1046/j.1472-765x.2000.00630.x

Ammonia-oxidizer numbers decreased under conditions of moisture limitation in litter, fermentation and humus layers of forest soil in the field, but the extent of regrowth after rehydration varied between layers. Nitrosospira 16S rRNA genes were ampl... Read More about Analysis of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria populations in acid forest soil during conditions of moisture limitation.

Environmental science & technology, 34(5), 885-891. https://doi.org/10.1021/es990309m

The interest in the use of chelates for enhancing metal uptake by plants during phytoremediation and their widespread use in plant nutrient research requires that an easy, reproducible method be developed for chelate detection in a variety of systems...
